Snow Buddies

Hello Stampers,

Well, today was a very productive day, I stayed up till 4:00 AM this morning and just kept cutting and stamping then I got back up at 10:45 and started in again.  I have not left my office all day except to run and get something to eat.  I feel much better I almost have everything ready for all my camps this week and the one the day after I get back. I did throw a few things in my suitcase this morning when I was taking things out of the dryer.  It's a start!!!!

The hostess I have in Las Vegas wanted to do a Shaker Card so this first card is what I came up with.  After I got done with it I thought to myself "do they like doing things with snowmen???" I sure hope so.

Holiday Lounge Designer Paper

Good Evening Friends,

Wow, what a wonderful week-end we had here in Michigan, we could not have asked for better weather than what we had.  I just wish I would have got some things done in the yard, but I had more important things to do!! Oh yes, workshops!  So when it comes time to go put those Christmas lights up and it's freezing outside you know who's going to be complaining? Yup, that will be me!

So tonight, Steve and I stopped by to see his grandma which turned 98 today, wow I hope and pray I see that age. I can't really imagine what it would be like, oh wait maybe I can see it! I'll be setting at the kitchen table at the home of my daughter's stamping and making a mess.  Heather will be cooking and cleaning up after me, isn't is great how we take care of them and then sooner or later they take care of us!!  Now if it was up to Ashley she would throw my butt in a old folks home! So after I came home from grandmas I walked into my stamp room and shook my head.  I made up my mind that I MUST get things ready before I leave. So I stamped all the cards for the girls in my downline, and got those packaged up.  Stamped the card I am about to show you and then start cutting for the rest of my camps for the week and then maybe I can start thinking about what to put in the suitcase.

So here is the card that I stamped tonight, I seen the 2nd card on Ronda's blog and liked the designer paper that was used so I dug threw my paper and sure enough I had some.

Stamp Set: Heard from the Heart #111644 $22.95

Cardstock: Tempting Turquoise and Whisper White

Ink: Tempting Turquoise

Accessories: Ornament Punch, 1/4" Tempting Turquoise Grosgrain Ribbon, Dimensionals, shimmer paint

Good Evening Stampers,

Could you believe the beautiful day we had here in Michigan today??  I wish it would stay like this until spring!!!  I should have been up on the roof putting those lights up, but I had a workshop this after noon.   Did not have enough time to get them done, so why start them? Plus those dog gone bugs where so thick I probably would have fell off the roof when I was swatting them off me!  So instead I enjoyed my ride over to Flint to do a workshop with a GREAT bunch of sisters that get together and stamp cards together.  I love having parties with them because they are all such a joy, they really should have one every month!!!!

Of course it was dark when I returned home, not that it took them so long to make up their minds what they wanted or anything (I am smiling girls) It's so depressing that it gets dark at what 6:00 now! So when I got home I unpacked and re-cut and repacked for my workshop in St. Johns tomorrow afternoon.  Then I sat and stamped a card just for you guys!!!  I hope you know that I really feel guilty if I don't post something new everyday!  Thank you so much for visiting everyday, it really keeps me motivated!!

So here is my card for the night, it of course had to be quick and easy because I really am tired and need to get to bed.  Yah right, right after I key orders, write thank yous, start cutting for Tuesday's camp and Thursday's Camp and I really should start packing my suitcase, oh maybe I will just make it a all nighter??  Nope, to old for that!

Stamp Set: Wandering Words #116507 $25.95 (Holiday Mini Catalog)

Well Thanks for stopping by, it's time to go drink a Coke and stamp some more, it's only 11:13 that's way to early to go to bed!

I hear it's suppose to be another beautiful day tomorrow so get out there and enjoy it!!

Good Evening Stampers,

Today has been another busy day, I returned home from a party tonight and unloaded and then unpacked and then started repacking for tomorrow.  So, that means I did not have time to stamp any cards. I did find this card that I am for sure going to copy and hopefully tomorrow I will get a chance to sit down and try it.  This is another one of those awesome sponge cards that was designed by Michelle Zindorf.  She does a fantastic job on designing these cards and I love to copy them.

 

I would also like to show you one of my birthday presents that I received, Ronda bought this frame and added the Melon Mambo Polka Dot Ribbon and also one of our Decor Elements to it.  What a very cute idea, and you will see it in my stamping studio when you come to visit!!

 

It's kind of hard to see but the decor element is at the bottom of the frame and it says "friends are Forever"

Well, it's 12:20 and I am very tired so I guess I will clean my desk up a little and go to bed.

See everybody tomorrow, have a wonderful week-end

Tamie

All Holidays

Good Evening Stampers,

Well, It's November 5 already and I am leaving in 8 days! You would think that I would have my suitcase out and things put in it? NOPE! not yet but I figure I can iron when I get there so it doesn't take long to throw shorts, t-shirts, bathing suit, etc. etc. into a suitcase.  I am so looking forward SUNSHINE and WARM weather. I am tired of winter already and it's not even here yet, but I did hear on the weather tonight that it's suppose to be like 60 on Monday. That will be the day I get up on the roof and put the Christmas lights up (I hope)

So after I returned home from my workshop tonight I sat down and made another card for my camp using a different fold again and this is what I came up with:

 

Stamp Set: All Holidays #114916 $34.95

Cardstock: Real Red, Whisper White and Holiday Lounge  Designer Paper

Ink: Real Red

Accessories: Petals-A-Plenty Embossing Folder, Circles #2 Die, Dimensionals 

Well time to unload from my party and repack for the one tomorrow night

Thanks for stopping by and see you Friday

Happy Birthday To Me!!

Good Evening Stampers,

First I would like to Thank each and every one of you that sent me a Birthday Wish either by mail or internet.  I had a very nice day, even thou I worked almost ALL DAY (thank you Ronda) First,I went to lunch with 3 very special people in my life, Ronda, Anne and Heather we ate at PF Changs (umm) Then Ronda and I went back to her house and worked our fool heads off.  Getting ready for her week-end retreat and our Rubber Queens meeting tonight. At 6:00  we went and set up the hall for our meeting, I had to demonstrate and I did a terriable job (sorry girls) I think I was just very tired. So at 9:30 I finally was on the road to coming home, I decided half way home that It was my birthday and I really wanted a cake.  My favorite it German Choc. but of course Meijers did not have it so I settled for a Chocolate one. So after I post this I am going to go in and have a piece of cake (or two) and some Ice Cream or (a lot) and then go to bed.

So, since it was a very long day I did not get a chance to make another card for my class so I am going to show you a couple cards that where swap cards at our meeting tonight.

This first card was done by Sandi Dailey, this is for sure a "WOW" card and no you will not be doing this at any of my camps! (sorry)

 
This second card was done by Eleanor Faught and you could very well see this card at one of my camps!

Thank you very much for stopping by, see you tomorrow

Lovely As A Tree

Hello Friends,

Well, it's November 2, can you believe it? I wish time would slow down a bit, it seems to go way to fast these days. Before we know it, it's going to be December and then Christmas and then we start all over again, oh crap talk about time going to fast here I am talking about the New Year already!!! I guess I am a little excited because I just booked a flight for January 5 through the 13, Stampin Up Leadership is in January and guess where it's at??? It's in Phoenix!!!!   Hooray! I get to spend a few days with Ashley while I am out there.  Even though she will be home for Christmas I will be excited to go visit her a couple weeks after I see her.

Well tonight I had to get busy and make my mother a birthday card, since her birthday is tomorrow, she is going to be 80 years young. I just pray that I am in the shape that she is in when I get to be 80. So after I got her card done I wanted to get another card ready for the Regular Stamp Camp with another different fold.  This card is just the tri-fold, but I know I don't make to many cards like this so I thought it would be different to make one.
