Easter Baskets for School

Friday, March 27, 2009
This is the embossed Manhatten Flower using the Big Shot. I love this machine as you can tell. I made this card for a dear friend of ours that passed away this last week. I embossed this on Baja Breeze card stock and then added the new Scallop Oval with Chocolate Chip and added the image "Special Friend" with Chocolate Chip Ink. The polka-dot ribbon is Valet found on page 178 in the Stampin' Up! catalog. Remember there is only 5 days left of Sale-a-bration for you to get your FREE stamp sets with a $50 order. Be watching this Blog for my April special. I spent yesterday cutting out 40 Easter Baskets for 2 classrooms. I was mixing and matching DSP with card stock so they wouldn't all be the same. I will be forwarding some pictures after we complete the projects! I am sure the 2nd Graders will have fun. We are making them with 4 of the Big Shot envelopes and adding Easter grass and candy! Have a great day of stamping! I am on my way to town to get my hair cut, see my dad, and run some errands!

We did get to celebrate last night with a birthday supper, BTS cake, and opening of gifts.

Spring Storm
We are in the midst of another Spring Storm. This was a picture of our place yesterday morning with the winds from 60 to 80 mph with snow flying. They closed interstate from Chamberlain SD to Sheridan WY yesterday and it is still closed.
This is a picture taken at the same angle this morning. Everything is closed down, even Walmart! First time for everything! A lot of the ranchers are calving now so the result will be a mess I am sure.
This is a picture this afternoon after the snow has quit. Of course, the wind is still blowing. We don't have a lot of snow but a lot of big drifts. The snow is very wet so that will help with the moisture level this spring. We are suppose to get more snow on Thursday then again on Sunday.
I haven't got a lot of stamping done but baking and playing cards and cribbage. We did have electricity through all of this which was great!

Boxes
These are a couple of boxes I made with the new Box #2 that I made with the Big Shot. Talk about a quick package! You run this through the Big Shot with a half piece of DSP and then fold on the score lines, add a little adhesive and you are done except for your embellishments-way under 5 minutes. On the top box I used Tea Party DSP, image from Sock Monkey, scallop punch, and 1 1/4 inch circle punch and some So Saffron Ribbon from Saleabration. I just reversed the DSP for the scallop paper and also added some punches with my hand punch so get the little holes in the scallop.
Now off to get a package ready for my great niece in Lincoln, NE! She is in kindergarten and her teacher has asked for some supplies to make cards and address envelopes! The students are learning how to address envelopes and write letters so they learn the importance of reading and writing. I just happen to have a box full of cards, envelopes, adhesives, etc. I can send her. We are all suppose to write her a letter so she gets some mail! What a great idea!!! We are suppose to be getting in a huge storm today and tomorrow with 60 mph winds and a foot of snow with 30 to 40 inches in the Black Hills! Yesterday at 79 degrees we spent the day getting shelter for all the animals and of course we are in the midst of calving so it creates another challenge. Life on the ranch is always interesting and full of surprises!!!! Have a great day and keep warm.

Manhatten Flower
Good morning to everyone on this beautiful day! I went out early and did some chores-I fed this little baby calf (Pairy) by bottle! They are so cute and he is so lively! We just started calving yesterday so the work has begun! You probably noticed some new buttons and a siggy on my blog last night. Thank you so much to Michelle Laycock! Now I have an email button and order button and will also add some more details as soon as I get it all figured out! She did a wonderful job! The card that I made is from the Textured Impressions Die, Manhatten Flower! I used the Big Shot to make the flower on Riding Hood Red card stock and layered it with Baja Breeze card stock. It was then mounted on Sweet Slumber Specialty DSP which is found on page 158 of the Stampin' Up! catalog! This paper is just beautiful! It is a little heavier than the normal DSP-plus double sided! I also used ribbon from the Ribbon Originals on page 178. On April 1st you will be able to order the new Oval Scallop Punch and the Oval All Stamp Set.

Last of the St. Pat's Activities
Here we are making green doughnuts for the Hospital Rehab Physical Therapist Department and the Veterinary Clinic. We did a little experimenting with different doughnut cutters. I still like the medium sized cutter the best. This time we made more doughnut holes. I used a shot glass to cut most of them.

More St. Pat's Pictures
Oh, my gosh! How much fun can some stampers have in one day? I had a St. Patricks Day Appreication get together for all of my customers and club members. We had so much fun stamping, playing games, and socializing!!!!
This is a picture of Jennifer as she is studying the catalog. Look at those pages flip!!!

The ladies could sign up for Door Prizes, Count the Green M & M's and a Punch Class. In the background are some little baskets that I made each of the guests with their initial on them. I filled them with a sucker, mint patty, Stampin' Up! pen, and a stamp.
They are having so much fun with their Curly Label card. When they got through with their Make and Takes we played the game, LCR. What a blast! They had to play the game in order to win a prize of tiles, cubes, Big Shot Dies, etc. The game goes very fast so I had to have quite a few prizes.

St. Pat's Card
This is a St. Pat's Card made with the new die of the Big Shot. I used an old retired St. Pat stamp set. Just love that Stampin' Up! set. I used my aqua painter and stamp pads to color in the little guy. Then of course, I had to add some glitter!!!! Tomorrow is my Open House! Yikes! I am still not ready so must keep moving! Hope the gals have lots of fun with all the games, prizes and food!
