Stamping with Picasso

Ronald McDonald House Valentine Goodies

Below are the Valentine goodies created by my wonderful Ronald McDonald House Stampin' UP! volunteers.  The table favors were well appreciated by both the staff and house guests.  Collectively we donated 105 goody packs.  I've listed some of the main Stampin' UP! stamp sets & accessories used in these projects.

More Fabric Flowers

Here are the flower pins I made for my friends attending Leadership to hang on their Leadership bag to tell the bags apart.  I forgot to take the photos before I sealed them in cello bags, but you can still see them okay. 

 

 

 

 

The flowers were made using the Big Shot and the Flower Folds BigZ XL Die.

 
 

Corner Bookmarks

My friend Karen from Canada pointed me in the direction to this darling bookmark created by Cannie Hunter.  It brought a smile to my face.............it's so stinkin' cute!

Flower Pins

I've  had so much fun making these flowers using the Flower Folds Die by Sizzix.  This is an exclusive Stampin' UP! die, item# 115970.

 
The flower above is one of the barrettes I made for my granddaughter.  Although she's not a frilly type girl and doesn't wear barrettes, I gave her some head bands to attach the flower.  She really liked it.

The flower below is a pin that can be worn on clothing and even a purse or tote bag.  Both of these flowers were made using the 3 smaller flowers from the die.

My stamp club members also had the opportunity to make flower pins this month, and they really enjoyed the process. They are quite easy to make, and I must say "addictive", lol!

I have a great group of volunteers who help make a difference in the lives of the house guests.  Thanks so much for your commitment.
