Carol on stage at Leadership

Carol, one of my downline, got to walk across the stage at Leadership in Orlando as she was promoted in the last year to Supervisor. Yeah, for Carol!!! Have a great day-I am going to clean my stamp room and stamp pads. Yesterday afternoon I worked on the new Swallowtail stamp-it is so beautiful and so addictive. I will post some cards tomorrow. Have a great day!!!

Beyond Plaid

These are some cute cards using the background stamp "Beyond Plaid"and the stamp sets  "Dapper Dad" and "Henry Says". Really cute cards!! Staying home today from the Stock Show and trying to get my My Digital Studio transferred over to my new desktop and also working with the new gorgeous Swallowtail stamp.Hope to have some samples to show you tomorrow!! A beautiful stamp!! Hope you have a great day!!!

Helping Orlando Teachers

At Leadership in Orlando, demonstrators stuffed 2,000 bags of Stampin' Up! supplies for 135 different schools and gave them to each school teacher.

Making A Difference

How Stampin' Up! has progressed in 25 years!!!!! I joined Stampin' Up! in 1996 under my sister, Rhonda, and have met so many new friends since that time.This will be my 17th year completed in June, 2013! I have been to all but one convention and have attended 3 Leaderships! What a great way to spend time with family and friends and still be able to laugh and have a business!

Everything Eleanor

Another card using the new Valentine Fabric and also the stamp set Everything Eleanor! I also used the Beehive embossing plate, lots of pearls and embellishments from the Artisan Embellishment Kit.

Today was a great day as I spent the day with my 2 daughters. Kami and I went up to see Lana and Levi's new house and then had lunch together then some shopping! What a great day!!! I love spending time with my girls!!!

 

Lacey Valentine Card

I finally got to stamp yesterday! I helped my husband tear down a fence in the morning and then it was quiet in the afternoon and evening so decided to be creative and stamp a little! It was so nice! I was experimenting with the new fabric #129307 (More Amore Designer Fabric) and created this card!

I also used the $5.95 stamp that we could buy earlier and the new Artisan embellishment kit (#129328 for $9.95) found in the new Spring Mini. The lace is so beautiful and fun to work with! I also used Real Red, Vanilla, and Basic Black card stock. The embossing folder that was used was the Fancy Fan Folder (#127751) and the Hearts Collection Framelits (#125599)--no cutting except for the fabric!!!

Plan to attend the Stock Show today and take in the Stallion Row and Horse Sale!It is suppose to be in the low 50's today so should be a great day!!

Lana & Levi's new Home

This is a picture of Lana and Levi's new place near Buleah Wy which they started building in November! It is so beautiful out there. They have their pens and lean to done and now working on the inside of the house. Hope to be done in March so they can move in!

These are the pens that Bud engineered along with Levi and Lana! They are loving the pens right now as a place for the horses.

We watched the Scatter Cattle Event last night at the Event Center! So fun and exciting to watch! There are a lot of events at the Stock Show to watch this week and next.

Whale & Valentine

Good morning everyone! We woke up to snow again this morning and cold but no wind so that is great! I have ladies coming this morning for a My Digital Studio Class so will be a good day! These cards are from the Leadership board and again cute as can be! The bottom card is a very simple card yet so nice with the added glitter and scallop punches.Also, the Hearts a Flutter framelits and stamp set were used. Hope you have a great day!

Whale Scrapbook Page

We made this scrapbook page in club this month using Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Series Paper (#126922) Melon Mambo, Pacific Point, Whisper White and Daffodil Delight card stock. We also just had to use the cute Oh, Whale stamp set (#129132) along with the Clearlits Die (#129403) and the new embossing folder (Cloudy Day #127022). I did not adhesive these as they can then move the Melon Mambo card stock around for their pictures and can also move the whale around after pictures are on.

We made this card with the new Secret Garden Bundle (#131099) as it is more reasonable to buy the bundle than the stamp set and framelits separately. The framelits are such a time saving device-no more cutting around an object. "Thanks So Much" is from the Oh, Hello stamp set and also added some Starfruit ribbon and a dahlia. The Designer Paper is from the new Print Poetry DSP Stack where you can get 48 sheets of 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 papers for only $6.95 (#129312). We also paper pierced around the white card stock and added a little accent color with the scalloped edge.

I hope you are having a great weekend. My daughter is coming down to visit us today so looking forward to a great day! Last night we went out to eat and our great friends, Archie and Shirley, walked in so we had a great visit dining and visiting with them. Looking forward to another My Digital Studio class tomorrow!!!
