Sent with Love by Stampin' Up Makes Cute Layout and Favors!

We survived the thunderstorm, and numerous storms since then.  Their are beautiful white azaleas blooming outside my window across the front of the house thanks to the previous owners.  The Mississippi Delta has the priviledge of having 4 seasons and I have enjoyed welcoming each of them.  Since it's our first year in this house, we are constantly surprised and delighted by what comes up in the yard.  Found a wonderful nursery nearby owned by a very sweet Menonite lady who sure knows her stuff! 

As for my new business venture, I hold my first official Stampin' Up Workshop tomorrow so should probably be making party favors instead of blogging.  Have 5 ladies coming with plans for an evening group already scheduled in May.  I'm highlighting layouts made with the Sent With Love Stamp Set and paper which expires at the end of April. 
The bags are filled with a rubber stamp and homemade chocolate chip cookies!  Love, love, love the versatility of this set.  It would be so cute for party favors, lunch bags, baseball team treat bags, baby showers (special delivery - get it!!).  I used the "Time Flies" theme and a train picture which actually looks a little like the inside of an airplane!  I didn't think I had any pics that would fit besides travel, but focusing on Time Flies let's you use anything!  Hope you like it!

Elegant butterflies and doilies
revised from Spring Catalog
 





We'll make two cards in the workshop.  I started with the doily card from the spring catalog and made
some revisions.  Just had to use those Elegant Butterfly stamps and punches!  The new lace tape works really well too!  Projects are ready and in baggies for tomorrow but need to make the rest of the party favor bags and set the table.  This is the perfect job for me!  I get to entertain, celebrate all the holidays, party, and make fun stuff!  I promise to do better at adding things to the blog.  Have lots to show you but better get ready for tomorrow first!
