What A Day!

What a fun day I've had today! This has been MY day! I've been in MY room, right by MYself, stampin' and scrappin' and foldin' and tearin' and punchin' and.........ok........I'll stop! I've been preparing for a workshop tomorrow and I have just had a ball! I've brainstormed so much that my head hurts....but a good hurt! I got into my Versamark today. I am really looking forward to the Fall, so I decided to do a 6 x 6 scrapbook page. I really like doing the smaller scrapbooks. Hope you like! Can you tell I've had fun today?!?!

Friends and Stamping!

My friend Susan came over Thursday and we stamped for a few hours. The cards are for a dear friend of hers, and the other is for her son's birthday. This little sweetie is her daughter Brooke with her very own stamped wall art! You go girl! She wants to frame this and hang it on her bedroom wall. Let's start them stamping while they're young! This was the first time Susan had seen all of my stampin' stuff......I think she's hooked!! YES!!

I Just Had To Share!

Here's Megan! She is the youngest granddaughter who will turn 3 in October. She holds her little flag and recites the Pledge of Allegiance word for word! She tickles me when she says "to the weepubwick"! She is just one of the highlights of my life!

Son's Birthday Card

This is a card I made for my son's birthday....he turned 27 on Tuesday. Oh how I remember that day 27 years ago!! I was in labor for 24 hours!! It was worth it and it's amazing how some things you never forget....like I can still think about that certain kind of pain and I almost feel it!! I have to brag on him....he is a wonderful man, husband, father and son. The Lord has really blessed us with good kids! OK....enough from the doting mother! Happy Day!

Finally...a scrapbook page!

I finally took the time to finish this scrapbook page today! I just haven't taken the time to put a picture in it or journal it! I LOVE using this alphabet! I'm sad that it retired this year. Oh well, I can use it for my personal stuff! Happy Scrappin'!

A Baby Girl Gift Tag

I needed a quick little gift tag to put on a baby girl basket and this is what I came up with! I didn't have any of the cute rhinestone brads so I used a pink bead to dot the i with! Since I don't have a sewing machine I poked little holes around the edges and used my white Signo gel pen and just tied a little bow with rick-rack. I thought it turned out pretty cute!

Love The New Colors!

I just love the new colors from SU! Here's the Groovy Guava and Pomegranate! I like the way the Versa Mark shows up on the Groovy Guava. I love my buttons too!

Only 1 Baby!

In a previous post I let everyone know that I was going to be a grandma again! We found out today that my daughter is just having one baby! She had an ultrasound and there was only one to be found! She said she told the nurse to be sure and look everywhere she could and to make sure there wasn't one hiding out somewhere in there! We saw the little "peanut" on cd.....it's amazing to see that tiny little thing as it looks now, and know that in several months there will be a baby! God is so awesome with his creation!

Paisley Pocketbook

Here's a cute little pocketbook that I made at a workshop at my upline Carol's house. It's Stampin' Up! of course! This would be neat to fill with crimped paper or tissue paper and add
little goodies as party favors, secret pal gifts, etc. Very easy to make!

Polka Dots and Paisley Card

I like using the Pastel Chalks....on this card I used SU's Polka Dots and Paisley stamp set, Sahara Sand card stock, Tempting Turquoise card stock, White card stock, Black stampin' pad, creme ribbon, and the Pastel's. I took a Q-tip and rubbed on the pastel chalk to make a smudgy look!

Masculine Gift Tag

We are always doing something frilly for the gals and something fun for the kids, but we need to scale down a little for the guys! My husband likes simple things, most men do! So this is a nice little gift tag for them.....I used SU's Heartfelt Thanks stamp set, Fresh Fillers background stamp, Glorious Green card stock, Sahara Sand cardstock, Old Olive stampin' pad, cream ribbon, Always Artichoke buttons. I'm going to demo this at my next workshop!

I'm Gonna Be Grandma Again!

Yeah! I found out this past weekend that my daughter is going to have a little one next March! That means more stampin and scrappin to do! I'm very far behind on my scrapbooking now but maybe I can catch up a bit during the winter months! I have 5 grandchildren and this will be my daughters first so we are all excited! We find out next week if it's one or two! Twins run in the family! I'll let you know when I know!

Valentine Card

I made this for my hubby! It's hard to read here, but it says "driving by with Loads of Love"! Everything used is from Stampin' Up! This has been his favorite card so far.....he has a truck that looks alot like this one!

Hubby's Anniv. Card

My husband likes very simple things, so I made him this very simple card. He liked it!

Grandson's Birthday Cards

These are just simple birthday cards for my grandsons. They liked the way their names looked! More later!

Thanks!

Thanks for letting me hear from you!!! Wow, I've been so busy I haven't had time to think! All of my vegetables are coming out of my garden like crazy, all at once, so that's where my time has been. I hope to have pics soon!

I'm Lovin' Stampin'!

I am a demonstrator for Stampin' Up!. I am new to blogging! This is a first. I hope to have photos of my card and scrapbook creations on this site eventually! I'd love to hear from other stampers, scrappers, and card makers!
