Last post for the week

This will be the last post this week as I am leaving in the morning to go visit family.  Both of our Mom's are getting up in age and I need to see them as often as I can now.  Also, my dear brother-in-law is in the last stages of his battle against cancer.  It is heart-wrenching to see how he has fought the good fight, but is losing ground quickly now.  I'm hoping to get one last good visit with him.  He is a dear and has always been SO helpful to both my sister and my mother as well as assisting us with different chores over the years for my mother-in-law as well.  He will be sorely missed by everyone.  Truly a special man.

The last two cards I have to share from Stamp Camp West are from our fearless leader, Rochelle, and my very special downline, Tami.

First, here is Rochelle's.  Isn't it adorable.  I just LOVE the boots.
 
 
Next is Tami's.  I love this!  Tami's father worked for a company that made brads and she has the most extensive and adorable collection.  They were all ocean inspired for this card.  She had seashells, crabs, fish, etc.  They were just perfect for this card!
 


Such a neat way to use the baby footprint stamp, huh!?!
 
 
Hope you all have a great rest of the week and weekend.  I'll be seein' ya next week.

Welcome to my new blog

I have been putting this off for a long time, but have decided that now is the time for me to enter the blogging world.  I have the blog feature on my Stampin' Up! website, but it seems limited compared to what I see on other's blogs.  I hope to update this one more often now that I have a bit more time on my hands.  I quit working my full time "day job" the end of May.  I wanted to be able to spend more time with my family and devote more time to my Stampin' Up! business without working late into the nights as I have been. Please hang with me while I try to learn all that is necessary to make this blog interesting and informative for you, my readers. I'll begin by posting a photo (still need a photo box) of the cards that were made at my last class here at the house.  The pink one was partially CASE'd from an Australian Blogger, Teneale Williams.  I really love her work.  The bird card was a CASE from a swap I received at convention in July.  The o

I love fall and I love leaves.  Fall colors are so warm and rich.  So, when Stampin' Up! came out with the new Wonderfall bundle with the stampset and the matching dies, I couldn't wait to get it and try it out.  This is the first project I made with it.  MMMM, love the added sparkle from the new Champagne Shimmer paper! Button was from my "stash".  Hope you enjoy! Inside:  Verse was printed on the computer. Supplies use: PAPER:  Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Champagne Shimmer STAMPS - Wonderfall and Teeny Tiny Wishes INK: Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Soft Suede, Early Espresso, More Mustard The technique is called "Plaid".  Instructions for that are:  Ink your stamp (in this case the leaf) in the lightest color (in the case, pumpkin pie).  Then, using the next darkest color (in the case Cajun Craze) just use the very edge of your in pad, angling so just the narrow knife edge touc

Tami's February Cards

Image
Here are Tami's great cards for our class this month.  She excels at masculine cards.....whereas I do NOT. This first one is so fun.  If you have a fisherman in your family this would be perfect for him! Tami's inspiration for this card can be found here . Stamp:  By the Tide and Netting Ink: Soft Suede Paper: Always Artichoke, Island Indigo, Soft Suede Accessories:  Chevron and Square Lattice Embossing Folders, I forget which size circle punch....2 1/4 I think.  Wooden shish-ka-bob skewers. Tami's other card is OH so beautiful.....and far from masculine!  I love it. Stamps:  Swallowtail, Affection Collection, En Francais Inks:  Crumb Cake, Primrose Petals Accessories: Goosebumps (non SU) and Champagne shimmer paint/alcohol mist, Flower, Vanilla Seam Binding, Rhinestones The inside is JUST as pretty....... Well, that's it for today!  Hope those of you in the storm areas are getting dug out!  We lucked out here and just barely got a little skiff
