Do You Have Paper Crafting Contraband?

Not the kind of contraband you get pulled over for.  Geez, what kind of hoodlum do you think I am?

In the Stampin’ UP! world we refer to any products that are NOT Stampin’ UP! as contraband.  Kind of funny right?

This is the only kind of contraband that I have ever, or will ever have in my house.  Just so we are clear. LOL.  Remember, I am ruler follower.  I can’t help but be a goodie two shoes.

This is the second time in two weeks I have made references to drugs (see here).  I am not sure I am super comfortable with that.

Simon Says Stamp! is one of my favorite contraband companies.  I love their stuff.  My friend Katina gave me this stamp set with the matching framelit. (Make sure you go to Katina’s blog and check out her stuff today)

 If you recall, it’s FAVORITE THINGS week.  This is a week once a year that I share some of my favorite things.  Doggies, are my favorite animal.  As I type this blog post I have Hank, the new dog, nestled uncomfortably (for me) up under my left armpit and Buddy, the other little dog, curled up on my legs just below my laptop. I love these little turds.  They are so stinking cute.

Moving on to my project.  LOVE LOVE LOVE how this card turned out.  I am putting one of the cards in Macie’s mailbox that she has on her bedroom door.  She will love this card.

Here is a really fun and easy trick to make your cards super fun.  I just love how this idea turned out.  There is a video for you below to show you how I created this fun envelope.
