Stamping With Tamie

More Swap Cards

Good Evening Stamper Friends,

Well, hump day is over the holiday week-end is almost here!!!  I have no plans for this long week-end except for stamping!!! I need to finish Ronda's swap cards for founders and start thinking about my own, that's 246 cards total.  I waited to the last minute for my cards because I wanted to use some of the new products from the Holiday Mini Catalog. There is so much fun stuff in there, you can start ordering from it tomorrow or today if your reading this on Thursday. 

I had a workshop tonight so I did no stamping, you would think since it's only 10:25 I would sit down and stamp something!! A couple months ago I would have, but these days 11:00 rolls around and I am in bed, I might read till 12 or 1 but at least I am in bed!!

So, I guess I'm gonna have to show you some more of those swap cards I got, I don't really think you will mind, right?

More Swap Cards

Good Evening Stamper Friends,

I remember back about 10 years ago, I use to go like I did today everyday. OMG I'm to old for these 12 hour days!!!  Left the house this morning at 9:15 and got home tonight at 8:30, my poor little feet are KILLING me.  So of course since I worked all day I have to just share some more of the swap cards I got yesterday.

Happy Monday!

Hello Stamper Friends,

Well, today started off pretty early, Heather wanted to go look some more at dresses so 7:45 off goes the alarm clock!! We left town at 9:00 and was in Fowler at 9:30, store didn't open till 10:00, darn we could have slept in a half hour more!  I had a stamp camp starting at 200 so that is why we had to get over there and get back!

We walked in at 10:00 when they opened the door, had 7 dresses in the dressing room in about 15 minutes and she tried them on one by one.   Now remember I told you I could not show you the dress she said was  "The One" on Sunday , well so much for that dress!! she found  "The One" today it even made her cry so we knew it was "The One" and to tell you the truth I LOVE this dress, the one on Sunday, not so much!! It was not what she was looking for but when she put it on it changed her mind completely.  Of course I cannot show you the dress, but I did get a shot of just the bottom of the dress so you can see the detail in the dress and she said I could show you that picture.

Isn't it beautiful??? Inside each one of the flowers are pearls and rhinestones so it sparkles when the light hits it. 

The lady at Becker's Bridal in Fowler was AWESOME, her name is Mona and she did such a great job I wanted to make her a thank you card so Heather can get it sent off to her:

I hope she likes it!

Today at my stamp camp I had a new stamper come, she is only 10 days old but she loved the feel of the stamp in her hand!!!  

 
Is she not the cutiest little thing you have ever seen?  She was so good the whole time her mom and grandma was there stamping, we never heard a sound out of her. I hope she comes back again!   

Well, it's been a very long day and I have another one tomorrow so I think I am heading for bed even though it's only 10:00. Thanks for stopping by and see you all tomorrow! 

 I also received my box of 80 swap cards today so I have a LOT of cards to show you over the next few days, which is a good things since I am going to be very busy this week I might not get to stamp.

Christmas Gift Tags

Hello Stamper Friends,

Today was a pretty nice day here in Michigan, my daughters and I started our day out by going to breakfast with my mom and sister. Did a few things around the house today, had my down line get together this afternoon. In between watching the MTV Music Awards with Heather I have been designing Christmas Gift Tags for a hostess this Wednesday.  She wanted to make a tag holder and a few tags so this is what I came up with:

Here's the tag holder, I used our 6 x 6 photo album page protectors

And here are the tags they will be making!

I hope they like it! well Heather, Ashley and my sister and I are off to Fowler tomorrow morning to go look at some more wedding dresses so I better get up stairs and get to bed. Thanks for stopping by and see you all tomorrow.

Stampin Up More Samples from the Holiday Mini Catalog

Hello Stamper Friends,

Well, today was the first day of wedding dress shopping, Heather, my sister Linda and I went to Lansing so Heather could try on some dresses.  Oh my they have a LOT of dresses at those places, Heather glanced through a catalog they had and picked out some and the lady went and got them and away she went. So I thought I would share a couple of them that she tried on, she said I could show them because the fifth one she tried is "the one" she thinks.

All the dresses she tried on she put the black sash on because she wants to have black tied in with the dress.  Isn't she going to make a beautiful bride?

Loved the top, hated the bottom!

I really liked this one, but it's a no 

 
 I can only show you the back of this one because this one might be "The One"  She really wants to go look again tomorrow but I have a downline meeting so I told her we would have to wait.  She has a year!!  After we left the bridel shop we went over to Hobby Lobby and bought the vases and tea light holders for 10 tables .  Only 20 more tables to go!!!  It was a fun day, she wanted me to try on a dress that she picked out for me but I was just not in the mood it was her day! So after returning home you can guess, there was no stamping but I did have a envelope with my 20 card swap that I do every month so I'm gonna share some of those cards with you tonight.

Stampin Up Holiday Mini Samples

Good Evening Stamper Friends,

Another beautiful day here in Michigan, I am keeping all of you that are living in the states where Irene is heading in my thoughts and prayers. I really hope she peters out before she gets to you! 

I didn't get a chance to stamp tonight as I was cutting and getting ready for my Regular stamp camp for Monday. So I had to go over to the Stampin Connection and grab some samples.

This first one is using one of the single stamps from the Holiday Mini Catalog:

 
Great Idea!! Designed By: Cheryl Garratt

I really didn't think I wanted this stamp set but after seeing this sample I'm thinking maybe I do??? Designed By: Jennifer Timko

I just LOVE the stocking stamp set and the punch, designed by Sara Rlmmelzwaan

Well, tomorrow my sister Linda, Heather and I are going for our first stop to a bridal shoppe. Heather has an idea of what kind of dress she wants but she wants to make sure they have the shade of blue that she wants for a (belt) for her dress. It's like the Tiffany color blue or our Pool Party Blue.  Should be fun! fun! fun!

Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful week-end and see you all tomorrow!

WOW Class

Hello Stamper Friends,

Well, tonight I have been working on a class that I have never offered before!! A lot of demonstrators offer this class but I have never went out of my confort zone (quick and easy) and done one!  I have decided to offer one  monthly and see how they go. Each month will be different, it will either be a stamp set that will be included or product.  My first one is going to be with product as you will see from the pictures.  If you look on page 17 of the Holiday Mini Catalog there is a designer paper called Spice Cake and on page 18 Spice Cake Designer buttons.  These two items plus a package of linen thread will be included in the class fee of $30.0 and you will make these four cards and the box for them.  

September is going to be a crazy month as I will be gone 11 days and we have Labor Day week-end so I am planning on Wednesday, September 28 from 2:00-8:00. 

The box

Yes, these are WOW cards so yes there is LOTS to do on each of them!

LOVE these buttons

 Did you notice? The matching fabric??

Yes, you will be cutting out all those leaves!

 Now the clean up!!!

I hope you can join me for my class next month, thanks for stopping by and see you all tomorrow!

Stampin Up Gift Givers

Good Evening Stamper Friends,

Today was a ok day at the Ackerson Farm, I worked for Ronda then came home at 2:00 and was just thinking about taking a nap when!  Ashley took Gidget downstairs to groom her and back up she came in a short time! Mom, we have a problem!!! I found 3 fleas on Gidget!!!   OMG we checked the other 3 dogs, no fleas on them.  I took all the bedding off the bed she sleeps in, the blankets I have on my sunroon furniture, the dog bedding in the garage and started washing and hanging them on the line.  Even thou the other 3 dogs had no fleas on them they all got flea baths, and the house got sprayed with flea spray.  As I was in the middle of this ordeal Heather called and wanted to know what I was doing so I told her and it freaked her out so she checked her two dogs sure enough they had them!!! So I don't know if they brought them here or where they came from.  The vet was telling Steve just last week that the fleas are HORRIBLE this year and that we where lucky none of them had got them.  Like I have said before "Never a dull  moment at the Ackerson's"

After I dealt with that I had a marker club tonight so I got to get away from it all!!!!

Most of you have probably received your Holiday Mini Catalog today , if you look on page 39 you will see a stamp set called Gift Givers.  These cards are some that I made up for our Rubber Queens meeting next month, I showed you a couple of the other ones a couple days ago:

 
 Well, it's off to maybe do some stamping tonight, I need to get busy on my Founders swap for next month. Thanks for stopping by and see you all tomorrow!

Christmas Stamp A Stack

Good Evening Stamper Friends,

Well here it is 11:30 and I think I am ready for bed, I don't know what happen to my 2-3:00 days but I guess they are over?? 

 My morning started out a little crazy this morning,  as I was turning over in bed thinking about getting up I heard a knock at the door! So of course I am in my pj's so I threw my robe on ran down stairs to look out the window to see Jack (the horse) running down the driveway!!! The neightbor guy was knocking on the door to inform us that our horse was out on Copas Rd, oh CRAP!! so here I am in my pjs, hair standing on ends, bare feet out to get Jack back in the barn.  I don't know this guy at all except that he use to ride to work with my husband, so he starts to leave and then he comes back and asked me, what does that sign in the back of your car mean?? Well I sell Stampin Up and I explained to him what it was and he says oh I'll have to tell my wife as she scrapbooks!! OH GREAT possiable new customer and I am in the driveway looking like I do!!

Anyways, my husband has a problem with leaving collars on the dogs and oh yes a haulter on the horse! So remember I am in my pjs, bare feet and I am trying to get this 1200 pound animal back in the barn!! first I went and got a hand full of hay but he decided the grass he was eating was better than the hay at that moment so back to the barn I went and got the animal treats! OH YAH that was the trick Jack LOVES treats so we walked side by side back to the stall and I put him away with a hand full of treats.  As I was walking back to the house I said to my self "you fool, what if that horse would have stepped on your bare feet????

So as you can see my day started off a little rough, so I decided it was going to be a laid back day since it started off so well.  A little pool time, a little stamping time, and dinner at my mother-in-laws!

I did get my cards done for my next Stamp-A-Stack for next month so I thought I  would just share them with you tonight. I did show you some of them the other day but I either added something or change somthing, so these are the finally ones for the class.

 
 
 

 
 Well, I am off to bed, thanks for stopping by and see you tomorrow, hopefully it will be a "Normal" day tomorrow!, oh wait I forgot there's never a normal day at the Ackerson's!!!
