Stamping With Tamie

Happy New Years!!!!

Happy New Years to all my Stamping Friends,

Well, it's almost midnight, and yes I am bringing in the new year stamping!! I know what your thinking "what a boring person" My husband and I had pizza earlier and now he's watching TV and I am stamping.  It's just like any other night in the Ackerson home, but we love it!

Tonight I was working on some cards and I took the one I did a couple days ago and put some different card stock on it and made a bunch of them.  I just love this new stamp set, which you should have received your mini catalogs in the mail today and will see it on page 27.

Well, my clock is reading 11:45 so we have 15 minutes and then I have to wait 2 more hours and then it can be New Years Eve in Arizona and I can call Ashley!

Have a wonderful New Years Eve, thanks for stopping by and see you all next year!!!!

Baggie Book

Hello My Stamping Friends,

Today was a pretty lazy day for this girl and you know what? I really enjoyed it!!!! The only thing I did was clean my car out and washed one load of clothes.  It was pretty nice for a change, but don't get me wrong I am ready to get back being busy, busy, busy!!!

I had a few request asking about the Baggie Books that I am always talking about.  They use to be pretty popular back when I started Stampin Up about 8 years ago and now they are coming back.  This is where you take one stamp set and make up samples to show the different ways you can use that stamp set.   As you can see from this first picture you just take them and put them in the large cello bags, hook them all together with a brad or whatever with a topper with the stamp set information on it.

Then your customers can look through the baggie book and see the different cards!

 

 


Well, I think I am going to stamp a while before I go to bed, can you believe it I have to work tomorrow!!!

Thanks for stopping by and see you tomorrow!

Flight of the Butterfly

Good Evening Stamper Friends,

Well is everybody ready for the New Years? It's just another day for use at the Ackerson house.  Staying home and probably stamping!!!  Can you believe that?  Maybe I'll get wild and have a drink while I stamp??

Today Steve and I spent most of the day in Lansing at a dealership where my brother in law works buying a new truck.  I would show you a picture but it was dark when we got home so I could not take one.  He even let me drive home, I liked it!!!

So, tonight I wanted to add a couple more cards to my Flight of the Butterfly Baggie Book so I stamped these two to add to it:

Stamp Sets: Flight of the Butterfly and Occasional Quotes

Card Stock: Soft Suede, Rose Red and Whisper White

Ink: Rose Red and Soft Suede

Accessories: Scallop Edge Punch, Neutral Designer Series paper

Stamp Set: Flight of the Butterfly

Card Stock: Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White

Ink: Chocolate Chip and Bashful Blue

Accessories: 5/8" Whisper White Satin Ribbon, Polka Dot Embossing Folder

Well, going to do some more stamping, thanks for stopping by and see you all tomorrow!

Flight of the Butterfly

Good Evening Stamper Friends,

Well, I finished it up today, my house is spotless, all decorations are down and put away.  All laundry is done and put away, I still have ironing but that can wait!  Oh it is so nice!! So I got to sit down and do some stamping tonight. Since Ronda has started doing the Baggie Books, I don't just make one card from a set now I have to make at least four to six so I can make up a book!

So I pulled out Flight of the Butterfly, I think because I want spring to come early and STAY!! I did hear it's suppose to be 49 degrees on Friday, woohooo heat wave!

I haven't decided what words I want to put on this one yet!

Well now I have to clean this mess up I just made on my desk, then I just might go upstairs and read for a while before going to bed!

Thanks for stopping by and I will see you all tomorrow!

Friends 24-7

Good Evening Stamper Friends,

Well, I had nothing on my calendar today and I was full of energy! Even thou it's only been 2 days since Christmas I figured I might as well use that energy to take down the decorations and clean house.  I got everything done except the blue room, and I will do that tomorrow.  I know it will not take me 6 hours to take it down like it took me to put it up!!!

I think I might even get my suitcase out and start throwing things in it for my trip to Nashville in 15 days!!  I think that's going to be one of my New Year's resolutions is to get myself back on track of being ahead of the game!  I keep looking at my weii fit also, that's another New Years Resolution along with my Hip-Hop Abs cd that I bought! Yes I am going to get slim and trim in 2011!!!  I'll get back with you January 5th and tell you how that's going (smile).

Tonight I had to make some Thank you cards to get in the mail so here is one of them that I did:

Stamp Sets: Friends 24-7 and Teeny Tiny Wishes

Card Stock: Soft Suede, Whisper White and Neutrals Designer Paper

Ink: Whisper White and Soft Suede

Accessories: 2-1/2" Circle Punch, Modern Label Punch, Word Window Punch

Well, I think it's time to hit the hay thanks for stopping by and I will see you all tomorrow!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Everyone,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas today, mine was great!  We picked my niece and her husband up from the airport last night and the first thing she asked was is it going to snow?  Well, yes she got her wish we did get a few flurries today so she can go back to Arizona and tell them it was snowing!  I started out sleeping till 11:00 today, because I did not go to bed till 4:00, no I was not stamping I was watching tv. It sure was different not having kids coming in at the crack of dawn wanting to open presents. (sad face)  We went to Steve's moms at 2:00 for Christmas had a wonderful meal, and presents. Came home at 6:00 and then Christmas with Heather tonight.  This was our first Christmas without Ashley but we had her on skype so we did get to see her and talk to her for a while.

Heather and I where going to stay up and watch all three of the Twlight movies but she just went up to bed, so I guess that is out! Which is ok,  it's been a very long day. Since I was busy all day I did not get a chance to stamp so I hopped on over to the Stampin Up website and foudn this ADORABLE punch card:

Is this just not the cutest  things you have every seen?  Thank you Laura for sharing your creation. 

Well, it's 11:05 and I think I am off to bed to read a while and get some sleep. Thanks for stopping by and see you all tomorrow!
