Great Grad

Hello Stampers,

Sorry I missed you all yesterday, I had a pretty long day!! First thing I had to do when I got up was call the dentist and see if I could get in and get my front tooth fixed! Oh yah it cracked, I had a gap! Thank God my dentist was able to get me in and fix me right up so I was smiling again! So then I came home and made about 75 graduation cards as I sell them in my sister's beauty shop. Then my Sponge Class started at 2:00 and the last person left at 7:45 but then I had to stamp the extra ones so I finally got done at 10:30 so I had no time to stamp anything new. So today I got up and around and was getting ready to go to a couple Open Houses with my daughter and guess what? I had not one Graduation card, dahh I took all of them to my sister's. So in a mad dash I made up two more cards and off we went. So tonight I am making lots of cards again to get ready for the million open houses we have coming up in the next month.

I used the school colors on this one, which is Yo-Yo Yellow and Basic Black, I added some Whisper White, used the Great Grad Stamp Set and stamped it in black used the Eyelet Border Punch and the Ticket Corner Punch added some ribbon, quick and cute!!! 

Thanks for Stopping by,
Have a wonderful day

June 8th Mini Camp

Good Day My Stamper Friends,

Today was another work day! (blah!) so Melvin and I did no outdoor chores, I did start my Weii Fit program back up, it's only been 86 days since I last did it (UGG) Melvin of course just watched!!! I am getting this darn tire around my middle section so I decided it was time to deflate it! I'll keep you posted on how that goes!   But now I am back in my stamp room (Big Smile) I LOVE my stamp room!
Tonight I am showing the 5 cards that we will be doing at my 5 cards for $5.00 class on Monday, June 8th.  I decided since the Hostess Pattern Pack will be disappearing soon I thought I would try to use up that paper.  So I included each color on each card, so here is what I used:

Big Shot Class

Good Evening Stampers,

Tonight I have been working on a couple more projects for my Big Shot Class,

This first one is similar to the one that Sandy Haynes had for her swap card last month at our meeting.  I used the Raspberry Tart Designer Paper and cut the dress and apron from the Scallop Circle Die, the pocket is a large oval punch, added some brads and ribbon. I also used the Oval Scallop Punch with the large punch for the Wish Big (Short & Sweet stamp set) and the Eyelet border punch, cardstock colors are Rose Red, Whisper White and Regal Rose

The Second Card is using the Scallop Oval Die, I used Baja Breeze, Choc Chip, Whisper White cardstock along with the Baja Breeze designer paper. Stamped the tree from the Thoughts & Prayers stamp set with Choc Chip and the Thank You from the Short & Sweet stamp set with Baja Breeze, added a piece of Whisper White 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon

Thanks for coming by
Have a wonderful Day!

Top Note Die

Hello Stampers,

Well today was a pretty boring day, I just worked most of the day. So tonight I am working on more samples for my Big Shot Class coming up in June.

This card is made from the Top Note Die, I cut a piece of cardstock 5 x 4 then punched out pieces of the Bella Rose Designer Paper with the 1-1/4" punch. Glued all the pieces on the cardstock then ran it threw the Top Note Die, added some Riding Hood Red ribbon, layered it on a piece of Riding hood Red and Kiwi Kiss.  The stamp  is from the On Your Birthday stamp set and punched out with the Curly Label Punch.

Stampin Up just announced a AWESOME SPECIAL for June, if you would like to have a party my calendar is filling up fast, so give me a call and let's get a party on my calendar for you!

Windows! Windows! Windows!

Hello All,

Well, today I did get to all my windows, all 37 of them!! They are clean and none of them fell off the house!!   So with that project done, I moved on to the next one.  We have this chandelier that every Christmas I put Christmas bulbs in it. Well, since it's May almost June I figured I better get the Christmas bulbs out and the clear one put back in it. So up the 12 foot ladder I went, you would think at my age I would stop being a dare devil!!!! I also had a bulb burnt out on the ceiling so that made me go all the way to the top of the 12 foot ladder.  My husband kept saying you are not going to be able to reach that, well if your like me you have to prove them wrong.  Yes I  was praying the whole time I was up there and yes I did it!!!!  So this first picture is of me up on the 12 foot ladder changing the bulbs and cleaning the chandelier.

Finally I got to stamp, I have a hostess that wants to make card holders for her party so I am designing 3 of them to make and this is the first one.

I used the Pink Pirouette cardstock, with the Pink Pirouette Designer paper, stamped the flower from the Dream A Little Stamp set. I used Kiwi Kiss and Pink Pirouette ink, then made a couple cards with matching envelopes to go inside.

Thank God tomorrow is back to work, I need to go to work to rest from all this work around the house this week-end! 
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all had a safe and wonderful Memorial Day!

Daisy Die

Hello All,

Well, today was another beautiful day here in Michigan so yes I was outside!!! Today I tackled the lawn, it took me about 4 hours to mow.  Of course there where a few stops, first one I drove the tractor over to where my husband was working and asked him if there could be something wrong since I had oil all over my foot and part of the lawn mower??? Of course it was my fault that the oil cap was off and oil was flying all over, and where is this oil cap at???? Then I was mowing along real fine and then the lawn mower started making a funny noise, back to my husband AGAIN! This time one of the wheels from underneath was dragging (my fault AGAIN) so off I went again and there was a couple little dead pine trees in the lawn so I figured I might as well run them over. Well, when my husband seen this he about had a stroke! It's like dahhh they where dead!! Then the last straw came when I almost (but didn't) run over the electric fence wire that lays across the drive way to keep Shadow in the yard! Will I ever get back on the tractor again???

So now I am where I belong and that is in my Stamp Room, I wanted to make a quick card so I can get to bed so this is what I came up with.  Of course I used Black and White, embossed the background with the Swiss Dot Folder, Used the Daisy Die and punched out some black and white small daises, put them together and used one of the white brads, tied some black grosgrain ribbon stamped the Thinking of You from the Thoughts and Prayers stamp set and that's it!!!

Thanks for stopping by I hope you are enjoying your Holiday Week-end.
Tomorrow I am going to either tackle the windows or paint the new porch rails my husband put on today! So  let's hope the windows don't fall off the house or the paint turns pink!!!!!

Happy Friday Everyone,

Tonight I have been working on getting ready for my Sponge Class for next Friday, and I seen this card on the Stampin Up website yesterday so I thought I would share this one with you too.  These sponge cards are so beautiful and yet so easy to do!!!

Cardstock used is So Saffron, Choc. Chip and Very Vanilla,  I ran the Very Vanilla on the Top Note Die, I stamped the You're on my mind in Choc Chip then masked the edge and also the moon then sponged So Saffron, More Mustard, and Really Rust, removed the moon mask and stamped the flowers with Choc. Chip, how simple!!

I hope you all have a Happy Memorial Day
