On the Go Today!

I'm totally on the go today as I finish up last minute preps for my Open House and Free Valentine Make n Take for tonight.  Thought I'd share another fun favorite of mine today.  This little card was made with our White Note Cards.  They are the best and I use them ALL the time.  I made a bunch of these little tea thank you's for Alexis Birthday Thank You's. They were easy to make and fun.  Hope you enjoy.

I used the Tea Shoppe Stamp set along with the Twitterpated Designer Series Paper.  Love these colors and I love Blush Blossom.  Super pretty and soft. 

You can find all these great products in my Online Store.

Have a TEA-RIFIC Day!

XOXOXO

Getting fluffy again…with Stamps!

I feel like it's been awhile since I made something really fluffy!  The kind of fluffy that involves the sewing machine.  I've had some kind of funk living inside my head that does NOT want to leave and really haven't had the get up and go like I normally have.  Whatever this funk is… it causes me severe lack of motivation! Whatever has been created in this ole stamp room of mine is quite UGLY!  I have a long list of cards to send again and it's not even my Christmas list.  That scares me.  I can see already this will be another New Years greeting card and not so much the Merry Christmas that most people expect.  I like shaking things up!  It makes me a little different.  Ha!

Anyways… moving onward.  I created 30 of these beauties the other night.  My sewing machine got a real workout.  It took me a little longer to make these cards but I sure did like them. 

Here are the 4 different samples I decided on:

There are lots of elements on these cards.  From stamps, punches, ribbon, Embossing Powder.  The snowflake is a sizzix Border Die Cut.  Love it. 

I have to go clean my mess.  I was super excited to stamp with new friends tonight.  They made me smile and I think I made them giggle a few times.  I love seeing new stampers.  It reminds me that the simple stamping is fun and WOW.  While the fluffy stuff above is fluffy fun, so is simple stamping. It's just ALL fun! 

Hope your stamping something beautiful tonight.

Rockin’ Diva’s!

I recently had the great privilege to recognize some great women on my team.  They are my Rockin' Diva's that have really poured themselves into their business and the results showed.  It's so exciting to watch as their business grow. One of the things I put in their box this quarter was a recordable card.  These are found in the Holiday Mini and they are so much fun.  I bought a bunch of these cards for a few reasons.  My thought was the possibilities are endless with these type of cards and I could send special messages to anyone.  I could sing—->OR NOT!  I thought about making some for my kids when they are having a bummed day as a way to lift their spirits.  Really, the ideas are endless.  For the DIVA's, I wanted them to know they are doing a great job and was excited I could actually say it directly into the card. 

I used a few goodies on the card like buttons, chipboard, and punches.  Overall, I hope they liked the message.  I really thought about singing in a few of them but that really would have HURT their ears!  hee hee hee!  I'm sure they are thankful. 

I have a busy day ahead of me.  I am putting the last minute preps on a workshop for tomorrow.  I am so excited about this workshop.  It means I get to meet new friends and share what I love doing… STAMPING!  YIPPIE!!!

Make this weekend a GREAT one!

Simple Little Snowflakes

I guess in reality snowflakes are not very simple.  They are these complicated little pieces of beauty that I like to see come and go… FAST!  I'm just praying this side of the East Coast doesn't see snow like they did last year. Tonight was a simple night for me.  I made it that way.  I had quite a few complicated issues that needed to be tended to and I pushed them all to the side so I could make a complicated card.  Ahhhh… it's the simple things! Right?  Of course one card ended up taking a few right turns but the other one I'm sharing is simple as can be!

If you are a Big Shot fan you will dig this.  In the Mini catalog there is a beautiful Decorative Strip for the Big Shot called Northern Frost (#120901).  BEAUTIFUL snowflakes that are so delicate. The Decorative Strips are great for card makers and scrapbookers.  Check this out:

See how delicate they are?  I placed the Antique Brads into the center of each of them and then sprayed it with Shimmer Mist (that's a little Frost Shimmer Paint and Alcohol mixed together).  Love this antique look/feel that comes from this card. 

Then the night took a few turns and the sewing machine came to life.  Here is what happened then:

I layered those delicate snowflakes onto each other and they just made me melt.  I sprayed the entire Vanilla cardstock piece with Shimmer Mist which the camera does NOT like to photo.  It really makes it look over done and from my eyeball view it's not.  Pffft!  Then I added the ribbon with the sewing machine and I fell in love with this vintage winter card.  <sigh> Overall, very glad I have the Northern Frost Decorative Strip because I see many more cards in my future. 

I didn't get a chance to write or create much this weekend as my little family kept me busy.  We had a great weekend.  I am completely drawn to the fall colors here in Virginia.  It's so stunning!  I wanted to get a few pics of the kids with the leaves in the distance and here are the little ham bones in action. 

The first picture of them running holding hands makes me smile.  The best part was they were not "coached" to hold hands.  They just did it!  This brings a big smile to my face.  Now the biggest boy of all didn't get his picture taken because he was a little sad faced.  Russ has a new hobby playing with RC planes.  It was kinda the reason for going to the big field.  I of course had a different agenda!  He was so excited to fly one of his planes.  We watched it go up…. and immediately right DOWN…in pieces!  That's when his face turned pretty sad.  Luckily these are not the expensive planes and made just for new RC guys like himself.  Needless to say we picked up the pieces and came home.  I think Russ is going to practice a little more on the simulator.  *smile*

Well thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope your week is simply amazing!

Getting scared!

I'm getting scared alright!  The fact that it took me about 2 hours to make 2 cards is scary in itself.  Now before you get crazy I have to explain.  Since it's been so long since I have been in my groove of stamping it's taking me forever to figure out what I need to do with all these great stamps.  Tonight my goal was to make a few Halloween cards.  Oh my word.  I love Halloween.  I had all these fun products all over my desk and then starting playing.  Then I started adding.  I just couldn't stop.  Kinda like yesterday's card that was never ending.  Remember that one? My card tonight was the same way.  I kept telling myself, "simmer down!"  It didn't work. 

Here is the card for tonight.  There are so many products on here I will just have to list them.  Seriously a little overboard.  <sigh>

Talk about getting the right angle on these cards.  LOL!  Note the card holder… it was too heavy to stand by itself.  <giggle>

Here are the products that I used.  Many are from the Holiday Mini that will be released SOON.  So exciting.You will notice at the bottom I used the Waffle Paper.  I will show you how to use this great product once you have your hands on it.  I actually double layered the Waffle Paper and did a little silly dance because I thought it was Spooky Cool looking!!

Cardstock: Basic Black, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White,

Ink: Basic Black

Stamps: Dark & Dreary, Wicked Cool

Accessories: Spider Web Embossing Folder, Waffle Paper Assortment 2, Nite Owl DSP, Raven Lace Trim, Brights Designer Buttons, Large Scallop Punch, 1 3/4" Circle punch, Rich Razzleberry Marker, Spritzer Tool, Shimmer Paint, Scallop Border Punch, Cutter Kit

I hope your week is going fantastic.  I'm plugging away at a long list of things to do.  It's all good things.  Things that make me happy!  I'm looking forward to this weekend.  I think we will surprise the kids with something fun to do.  It hasn't been the most event filled summer for them. I did get "Best Mom Award" today when I found Raspberry Filled Krispy Creme donuts.   Oh my word they are soooooooo good! I ate TWO!

I hope to surprise you with something new tomorrow!
