Good morning stampers :
Early posting again today .. Yesterady I wanted to start a special card mailing to a dear friend of mine ( Linda from my church ) she will be turning the BIG 50 on Sept 8th so My thoughts are I am going to mail her a card every day ( starting yesterday) up until her BIG DAY. Her favorite color is PINK ( anything and everything pink ) she is such a HUGE part of our church and has really stepped up when our Pastor left our church this past April ..Linda has been doing out Bible study each and every wednesday night ( a HUGE undertaking to say the least ) she has been doing FABULOUS!! she is also our Sunday School director .. Linda is a very special lady and she is one of the biggest supporters of my cards ( she buys my cards in a 10 pack every couple months ) anyway . I made this card yesterday and its sooo her and I believe I will be keeping this one for the actual Birthday card on her BIG day I seen Debbie Olsens Bookmarker card and fell in love with it .. I had contacted Debbie to make sure it was cool that I posted my card on my blog today and being such a cool lady she said YES and also said it was cool to post her template for you all also ( I Hope this connects you all to her wonderful template ) Debbies Bookmark card template Debbie has been one of my favorite stampers and she has been showcased in so many Stampin Up! mags I can almost tell its her creations with out knowing its actually hers ..Debbie is also a Michigander which makes it even GREATER !! Which I already new there were GREAT stampers in Michigan Just from my group of ladies . anyway Staying with the PINK for Linda I created this fun Bookmarker card for her and to make it really UNFROGETTABLE I gave the froggie polka dots .. Never seen a pink frog with Polka dots in my life BUT then again I never met anyone like Linda before either :-) shes 1 in a million thats for sure .. I am sure she will use the bookmarker part in her Bible and Hope each times she sees it she will know that she is unFROGettable :-)
Today is our 18th wedding anniversary and here is the card I made my hubby
I also got the idea for this card from Emily AKA Waterpixie and I love her work also .. I got the ok to from her to give it a try so here is my version of her CLEAR card . Hubby will think its totally cool He is also my biggest fan and I always want to do something out of the ordinary for him ( he is a BIG fan of my movement cards also plays for hours with enjoyment ) anyway .. I used a window sheet for the base card and I know the scan doesnt totally pick it up BUT this card is sooooo cool IRL ( In real Life ) my daughter couldnt get over how cool it was .. I want to send a HUGE thank you to Debbie and Emily for their inspiration yesterday in my stampin adventures .. Today I am sitting and waiting patiently for my orders to come in tommorrow YAHOO! I have my club order coming and also my BIG DEMO order too:-) I have lots of goodies coming so stay turned for new RUBBAH uploads .. some of the new goodies I am getting tommorrow for my growing collection ( Yea right ) are Booglie eyes, Just between friends, Best friends ribbon keepers , think BIG, Wild about you and Aida cloth BG , and a couple simply scrappin kits ..and for my FREE money I got the designer label Punch box YAHOO come on tommorrow.. Gonna be a FUN day thats for sure :-)
PS: Another HUGE Thank you goes out to Nancy N & Peg H for their awesome annivesary cards we recieved yesterday ..Makes me realize I really LOVE what I do and hope the cards I send to others bring a smile to their face as theirs did to mine and Hubbys
Until later
Happy Stamping :-)

To Quote Sheryl Crows Song : Soak up the sun
Its not having what you want , But wanting what you got ..
I love this song just for this verse .. because who out there whats everything? We really need to stop to see what blessings you already have in your life .... I must say though there is NOTHING like FREE RUBBAH!! I always want that :-) Yesterday UPS stopped by and knowing I didnt order anything from SU! ( Thats the only reason my UPS man stops at my house ..) delivered a package of FREE RUBBAH from SU! YAHOO! The set I recieved was from the award I recieved this past year for recruiting level 1 and the free Rubbah was the set " Much Love " Nothing puts a smile on my face like Free stamps and of course recieving a Anniversary card from Gina yesterday also .. YUP Tommorrow Hubby & I will be celebrating our 18th anniversary But actually going out on a "Date " Saturday night..Yahoo for alone time with HUBBY..
I made this card last night really didnt have a clue how it was all going to turn out . I added lots of different elements to this card .. I used the ON BOard accents Flower punch out as my template for the base part ( paisley paper from REBECCA DS paper ) ) and then added a little flower from the On board acceents coverd it with designer paper ' Rebecca" Then I used the slit punch to make the scallops on the top and bottom very easy to do just line up your slit punch and punch along the paper lining up each punch so it connects each other But not overlapping . I then punched out small circles and added them to the inside flower cut out ( this also gives the scallop feel too ) while I was making this card Hubby was watching me over my shoulder and he said he really liked this card .. HUMMM Anniversary card in the making .. But maybe with the HEART On Board accents ??
This morning ( remember I am up very early to get my bones movin ) I also finished up the 1st set of my swap cards for lansing regionals ..
This card we actually made this past saturday at my club meeting and its so cute and easy I thought I would make 10 of them to start me on my road to getting as many swaps done as I can over the next 6 weeks .. SO If I make at least 10 cards a week I should have a minmum of 60 swaps ... Sounds great . Now I am on a Mission :-)
Until later .. Happy Stamping

YAHOO did someone say stamp? I made this card last night and was going to post but I figured I could wait until this morning to post it . With all the hype over with the 1st day back to school seems like we are already in a routine every morning which is a good thing . This past week seems like Its harder for me to just spring out of bed .. last Nov I had a total knee replacement on my right knee and sooner or later My left knee will have to be done .. so Getting up early has its new challenges for me just to get the bones in motion especially in my left knee .. I will more then likely hit the R.A doc this week and get my knee drained to relieve the pressure .. enough of that stuff . Onto the fun ....The card I made was really nothing planned especially the colors I used .. I think I am getting in the "FALL" spirit and had to use the pumpkin pie color CS and being this is the last week to get any goodies out of the SUMMER MINI I wanted to use polka dot posies again ( one of my favs ) when I finished this card I was really looking at it and thought it needed something at the time I had no clue .. But then a light bulb went off and thought of Julie Ebersole great polka dot buttons she did so with the same theme I added a earth elements black small button with cooper cord and added the white dots with a gel pen .. I think it added just the right touch ..
Until later .. Happy Stamping :-)

YUP >> Chocolate...
I am not one to eat alot of Chocolate BUT my bestest friend Diane is a chocolate Goddess everytime we get together I know I need Cho. for our stamping time together .. Today I was coasting through our fabulous Stampers showcase on the SU! demo web site and I found the cutest card made by Jeanne Ciolli and I just knew that today was the day to case this awesome card since its such a wonderful day what better way to spend it making oreo cookies and then Chocolate chip cardstock was the perfect topping for my creations today . Below are my 2 cards I made today using of course chocolate chip CS .. for my oreo cookie card I used the ALL wrapped up stamp set with the title from Treat yourself . the jar I made in to a mug by adding a handle and the cookies were made from the lid in the same set . and then I added a piece of vellum for the milk line Hee! Hee! To funny ..:-)
OH MY GOODNESS Love this card for many occasions especially for childern ( and I have alot of Childerns Birthdays coming up next month from my Sunday school class what a great card for them .. )
the Cherish card I use my new set I resently got " Artfully Asian " something about this set I really love Just dont know what exactly it is .. maybe its the main sentiment it has, anyway I used the new IN color Buckaroo blue with Chocolate chip and a piece of the Sentimental Journey designer paper and accent it with appricot appeal Love the way it turned out .. Hope you all have a Chocolate-y Day and remember to Treat yourself to a WONDERFUL day too:-)
Until later...
happy Stamping ...

Jessicas 1st day of 9th grade today and also her cousins 1st day of 2nd grade she will be attending Jessies school this year and both are so excited about that .. the one person who will be sad today ( ok Not really a person BUT our family doggie Bowzer ) This Summer Jessie and Him were like 2 peas in a pot she was always thinking of crazy things to do to him ( Poor Bowzer ) from dressing him upto just plain teasing him
( BEWARE some obscene photos below ) and Bowzer was such a trooper going along with Jessies craziness what a mild temper He has when it comes to Jessie .. so I expect him to be a little sad today thats until 3:30 this afternoon when he will greet her at the door when she comes home .. Ok I am off to my stampin room to create something new today will be back later to share have a Great day

No stamping for me on Sundays due to the fact I am so active in my church and bewteen 2 church services and lunch and family time seems stamping doesnt take place on Sunday .. BUT I do want to post and tell you all tommorrow is an exciting day for us cause daughter is starting back to school 9th grade . YAHOO and whats even more exciting Daughter is ready to go back... So its back to stamping tommorrow . Funny comments I hear from people ..All I must do all day is Stamp OR that they are so busy and cant find the time to stamp , Or that they have a life .. Well All I can say to them is that .. The difference between me and them is that I make the time to stamp .. Stamping is a outlet for me and it is like theraphy .. Yes I do stamp often BUT thats NOT all I do in my 24/7 .. I love stamping and Stamping is a BIG part of my life thats because I love it and choose to do something I love in my own time . It would be a perfect world if everyone on this planet stamped~ YEA RIGHT:-) I know Stamping is NOT everyones thing .. BUT if you love something dont you find time to do it weather its surfing the web , skiing, camping , you name the activity and I will show you someone that loves what they do and will try anything to fit it in their lifestyle .... When stamping is NOT fun and when I dont find enjoyment in it any longer I will move on to the next big thing .. ( my past big thing was collecting Beanie babies ..YUP hard to believe huh? ) My hubbys big thing is Motocycles This man lives and breathes them in hopes of the day to own his own BIG Dog chopper .. and I know one day this BIKE will be a BIG part of our life but until then we watch west coast coppers, OCC, and ect.. what Kind of wife would I be If I sit there and roll my eyes and say YA know Rich is this all you want out of life ..( I wouldnt dare cause I may hear YES) JK I sit there with interest because I know thats what he loves to talk about and ect... and isnt this what makes the world go around Because lets be real .. If everyone loved stamping as much as I do It would be pretty boring planet .. OK well maybe NOT to boring ..
Until later .. Happy Stamping ..:-)

Shhhhhh whats that sound I hear ... Flip Flop..

I supplied the dancing flamingos on their head .. These gals were so Much fun.. Sally gave me her matching pin she made that says I "Heart" Frogs " soooo cute and of course glitter was all over it ( thank you Sally ) .. and Ronnie gave her flip flops to my daughter Ronnie said Jessie was a little Glam divia so she gave her Bling Bling flip flops to Jessie ( Jessie says thank you Ronnie ) & Philly literally gave the flip flops off her head to Jessie too( Philly Jessie says thank you ) .

I Have Fun stampin lined up for tonight and tommorrow night .. Tonight I have a few girls coming over to my flip flop party each gal is bringing the flip flops they each decorated and will be awarded for them :-) I will post photos tommorrow . I had 3 projects lined up for tonights party BUT yesterday while getting everything pre cut and packaged up I thought I would throw in a extra bonous of a gift card holder ..( Below~ 2 photos one closed and one open )
this is very simple to make just by using the one 1/2 side of your 5 in 1 envelope template and since it is a flip flop party we want to keep the theme going with all 4 projects .. Last night we went to daughters Orientation got to see her classrooms and meet her teachers , Hubby went back on nights for a while ( which he enjoys cause he is there with only one other guy working so NO interuptions is a BIG PLUS working nights ..) I for one can understand that HUH stampers ..Stamping at night is SO AWESOME!! I am a night owl stamper thats for sure ..:-)
Wanted to share with you also my newest goodie I got yesterday and Of course I havent had time to play with it yet But it's my new Staz On cotton white ink pad .. ( Below)
this ink pad comes with a refill all packaged together, OOOHHH so cute.. Staz On dries very fast Unlike our Craft ink ( which is great for embossing Craft ink stays wet for a Long time ) Our Stazon ink is great for stamping on Photos in scrapbooks ( which is one of the things I plan to do with mine ) and I will be getting Booglie eyes stamp set so I want to use this staz On for that also .. Just remember the ink pad comes UN INKED and also make sure you keep the little clear cover under the lid, this helps the ink pad to not dry out so Fast .. Because the Staz On inks dry out alot faster than any other ink pad.. So I think its fabulous they gave you a refill bottle with your purchase too, Just for that reason ..
Until later .. Happy Stampin :-)

The Funniest things come to us stampers for Inspiration .. Now take this fry Box from Burger King ..
Not only are they YUMMY!! But Hey keep the box and make a template of your own and this is what ya get :-)
1st of all you need to eat all the fries inside the box ( Duh.. No directions needed for that Huh?) then proceed to ever so gently take apart the box so it is in one piece preferably then trace template onto cardstock or in my case I used the designer series paper from the Sentimental Journey .. SO the next time your sitting in drive thur picking up your fast food think to yourself HUMMM wonder what I can stamp with this ??
Until later ... Happy Stamping

Wild because This morning was the 1st day to get registered for Lansing Michigan Regionals with SU! YAHOO I got in and so did 3 of my other glitter queens ( Diane , Kelly and Carol) 3 of us will be car pooling and Carol will be staying over night at a friends home in lansing BUT all are going I cant hardly wait for Oct 14th to get here. NOW I must start thinking of what I want to do for swaps MY goal would be around 150-200 BUT I really dont think this is possible BUT I will try to reach that amount ,I just love swapping... it is one of my favorite highlights of any SU! seminar and with regionals being a small seminar than Convention its so Much more cozzy..
I got reistered quickly & smoothly for regionals But some did have a harder time at it , We will also be with my upline ( Lisa ) and her upline( Tyann) and Becki all will be attending also maybe we can all get a table with them .. who knows I am just so excited ..
Wild wednesday also because My projects I did today have nothing in common and I just stamped whatever I wanted to and this is what I came up with .. My 6x6 scrapbook page .I have been wanting to get that photo in my book since the day I took it .. and the Bud Basics card I made 10 for my Hostess this Saturday night , and then I loved the card in the catalog from the Bitty boos too set so I cased this card .. Love those colors ..I did not use the only orange for the BG on the bat I used creamy caramel and I also used the Cheesecloth for my BG on the bat where as the sample card in catalog used the canvas BG . I love the way they all turned out ..
Until later... Happy Stamping

I met up with a dear friend of mine to exchange goodies she got for me from convention ( Hi Sharon ) I made this card organizer for her as a small token of my appreciation for her doing that for me .. We met for Lunch at Mr. Pita and WOW what a Fabulous Lady, I am honoured to call her my Friend .. Our vist wasnt long enough and we plan to meet up again But what Made our vist even better ( If thats possible ) is that she also brought all her swaps she recieved from Convention this year so Of course I had a fun time taking photos of her goodies ..Thats until my camera Battery died ( Boo Hoo) BUT no fear the smart one in our family ( my beautiful daughter Jessica ) said "Mom use your camera on your cell phone " What a relief .. Theres nothing wose than seeing awesome swaps and not being able to document them for my mind to remember . Now if I could only upload those photos from my cell photo to my computer Thats another story for another day ..
Thank you so Much Sharon ..
Until later ..Happy Stampin

With the theme still going strong from this weekends events .. It seems only appropriate that I reflect on my Past with Stampin Up! This October will mark 3 years since I signed up to be a demo with SU! and WOW what a blessing SU! has been in my life .. Stampin Up! Is a Huge part of my life but Thats not all of who I am . I found SU! at a time in my life when I was totally unaware of what a Rubber stamp can do to change my life & others around me .. actually it was my cousin Ruthie who introduced me this wonderful world of SU! I attend her workshop with a demo that would end up being my upline ( Lisa ) It took my 6 months to finally bite the bullet and buy the starter kit with of course my Main supporter being my Husband ( of course to save money was his hidden agenda ) either way It was added to my LONG list of " "The Best thing I ever did List" ) In 2001 I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis after I signed up in Oct 2003 I found that when ever I was stamping I noticed I felt better .. Call it stamping out the pain or whatever you want I knew I felt so Great when I was creating I was in my own little world and knowing I could bring the slightest smile to someone that I made a card for made this a GOD sent for me .. I soon told the Lord I knew this was what HE wanted me to do and That some way I wanted to Glorify HIM so soon after I signed up I started making cards every month for all my church family everything from thinking of you , Happy Birthday , Happy anniversary you name it I was so excited . Now with almost 3 years under me now as a SU! demo so many folks come to me at church and ask if I will make cards for them weather its thank you notes for our Youth group , to just a pack of 10 cards for their own personal use, Graduation announcement ..My Mom is also My biggest encourager she tells me all the time that Stamping is Gods calling on me and My life .. I Don't claim to know all there is to know about stamping BUT I do know stamping has changed my life and I love having it be a BIG part of my life to share with others .. When I signed up I was NOT going to peruse the business end of SU! I just wanted the discount and thats all .. ( That was a understatement There was NO way i was going to do workshops ) Well that all changed 3 weeks after I got my starter kit ..My dear friend asked for me to do a workshop I was so nervous and excited at the same time After that 1st workshop I knew if I could touch womens life's in a way that was instantly gratifying and the feeling of accomplishment, It was going to be a AWESOME Journey !! well as they say the rest is History .. Below is My 1st card I made at my very 1st workshop I personally had before I was a demo .
Not the prettiest thing I ever seen looking at it now BUT I remember the time I made it I thought WOW I did this .. and it was the most beautiful thing I seen :-) The past 3 years I have met so Many wonderful women ( yet to find a male stamper ) I believe this part of what I love to do has been the most rewarding thing in my life , Relationships are what I base everything on . This is what makes the world go around . SU! may have brought us together But its our friendship that makes this sooo awesome . I have 10 wonderful women in my Glitter Queens stamping team and This has been ONE main focus I try to get across with them with my Toot your horn on Tuesday .. This is when all my girls email their concerns , praises , Happiness , sadness , encouragement whatever is on their heart that they want to share with our group .. this has been a rewarding event for myself and I believe all my girls ( at least I hope so ) Because when it all comes down, its all about relationships & everyone wants to be cared about and sometimes it takes talking with other woman that may have been through some of the same things Or just having an outlet to express yourself with out any judgments on them .. The other part of my relationships that I am also Thankful of is all my fellow demos out there I cant express to them enough what a blessing it is to have other demos encouraging me and helping me along the way with ideas, directions, the willingness to share everything with others like me etc.. Just having that area where we bounce things off each other has been such a rewarding part of my Stampin business I consider them all my upline .. sorry for this long post on my Journey down memory lane .. Ok so back to Stamping girls
Until later
... Happy Stampin:-)

Ok not so many Memories of this era for me since I was born in 67 BUT still AWESOME hearing everyones stories Like my moms 1st car and where she met my Dad stories ( Side note :YUP My Mom & Dad right on Woodward at the BIG BOY resturant) What a Wonderful day at the cruise .. I know this is my Stamping BLOG But had to share my Great day with all of you .. Well we put a 4 sale sign in the window of the chevelle and a few people want the car ( Typical story BUT you know the drill NO MONEY ) BUT 1 man will be calling this upcoming week ( His 1st classic car was a chevelle and it was Gold so When he saw our car he fell IN LOVE with it and Hubby even took him for a ride with 2 burn outs as an extra bonous :-) Now we just wait and see .. I have uploaded the photo of Hubby and the Guy interested in buying the car ~ PRE 2nd Burnout~ ..Hee! Hee! I also uploaded a photo of the whats under the hood ( Hubby & my dad Restored the Whole engine and had the Block in my mom & dads living ) ..All I know is that it is shiney and TONS of fun to drive & super FAST. Me and My Mom took it for a spin and stoped by my house for a quick minute ..Hard to explain The Kind of Attention we get in this car .. We could be driving a 2006 Hummer/ or a new Cadillac and NOT even touch the comments & looks we get in this car ..What a BLAST!! The Morning started out with RAIN :-( and for classic cars this is MURDER But we stuck it out and stayed cause you know the weather man said it was going to clear up And IT DID YAHOO Not sunny BUT at least NO rain .. reported over 40,000 classic cars there this year with 1.7 million vistors OH MY Woordward was Jammed packed and Tons of fun for everyone, Mainly Me and my Whole Family even in the rain Right Ruthie ?
Until later ..Happy CRUSIN ! ( Oops I mean Stampin)

Good Morning everyone .. Quick Post before I head out the door .I thought I would show you what I found yesterday under a bunch of other goodies in my stampin room. I bought these at my local grogery store on sale ( Of all places .. Meijers ) anyway they are sooo cute The 1st card I made was with out the little accent and then once I found these metal accents buried I used the same card and put a metal accent on it covering up the "Thinking of you " ..
Can you see the difference ..I really like the way it looks with the metal .. Alot more masculine I think so anyway. This technique is called Faux Marble At leasts thats My name for it ( another tearing project )
Just stamp your image on whisper white and then stamp your image again on cool caribbean holding the cool caribbean stamped image in both hands and having the image face you tear a piece of the image with your right hand towards you , the piece in your right hand will be the piece you will layer on top of the whisper white ( DONT use the Left side piece because if you do the image will not be under the cardstock once you tear it apart ..( Dawns side note to self : I will try and put up a visual this weekend sometime) .. then continue to tear out assorted pieces from the cool caribbean then layer them on the whisper white . Pretty cool technique huh?
Until later....Happy Stamping !!

I thought I would continue my weekly themed days cause its so fun .. Well I still havent stop drooling over that simply scrappin kit .. I made this cute matching set ( Greeting card with a gift hold holder ) last night for my Aunts surprise Birthday party .. Did I mention those die cuts in this kit ? So many things to peel and stick to your projects . anyway
The measurements for my gift card are 9" L X 4 1/4 W Score at 2" and at 5 5/8 ( for those like me thats the mark just past 1/2 " mark . ( ***Inside joke Below**)
I used the Retired SU! scallop deco scissors to finish the egdes on mine you can glue the inside flap or do what I did added a ribbon and brads .. The ribbon is glued down on back side with glue dots to remain in position for opening and closing Ribbon serves as a closer and a decortive look when open ( see open scan of my gift card below ..
**Inside joke ** Diane knows how crazy I am when it comes to reading a ruler YIKES!! I count the marks so when someone says 5/8's I look at my handy tape measure my hubby bought me with all the measurements listedwith the #'s added ..and yes I did Graduate from school :-) .. Diane laughs at me everytime something comes up about measurements .. in a very supportive way I must add ( wink wink)
HEY did you know ?? you can click on any of my scans in my main blogging area to view a larger photo upclose .. See it is a FABULOUS Friday HUH? :-)

Still Learning the Ropes around this new Fabulous BLOG.. Please be patient with me as I move along slowly . Yesterday ( 8-16-06) I made this cute DVD holder Idea came from the Mag from SU! and I just winged it on my directions for this 1st one,
anyway here is what you need 1 sheet of Cardstock cut at 9.5"l X 6"w score your CS in half at 4.75"
Then score on 9.5" sides in at 1/2 "on both sides ,
Then cut away one side of the 1/2' score line( both score lines on one of the sides of 4.75" should be cut off ( this will be making the dvd holder pouch ) Should look like this below
Make punched out hole , apply sticky strip to the 4.75" remaining score line
and decotate with SU! Goodies
Til Later ...Happy Stamping .
