Happy Wednesday Stampers ..

I am so in love with these Carousel  notes  that are in the current Occasions mini which by the  way  this mini has been extended   until   June 30th  YAHOO!!  so you  still have time to  get them  Just contact me  to order yours  today . I made this sweet little holder  by  scoring on  the 3 sides  at 1 1/2"  and then cut the  two bottom  corner sqs off  then   fold inward.  the insert  I  added  for a Birthday greeting the stamp set  I used  was JUST CELEBRATE   which is also in the  current mini. I then used the scallop punch  for the top of  the  insert ( Just folded that in half  and adhered  down with snail  adhesive.

OH boy  what a whirl wind  day yesterday was  and Look  what I have sitting in  my  driveway .. HEE! HEE!  No I didn't buy a new car NO way I just  paid mine off like 5 months  ago~ Its a Loaner car  for the dealer ship  and Loaner means its FREE  for a couple days :-).. and NO I didn't  get in another accident  either ( I knew you were gonna think that ) I  was hearing a  noise   coming from my  car the last month or  so and  well I just now got  around  to taking it in  to be  looked at ( Don't know why it took me  so long  since its still under warranty ( Praise God ) It  ended up being  my  power steering  gear was leaking  and the  fluid was low and since the part  had to be ordered  and  its more than 2hrs  to work on it   they gave me this Brand new  2008 Pontiac  G-6  to   cruise around in  ( Enter Dawns Shocked face ).Pretty cute HUH? (OH YEA!! )

Our  Luncheon at church yesterday was  fabulous  I  was close to 45 mins late  due to  car issue, But better late than never  right :-) Then in  the mist of my  busy day I heard  from  so many of you  via  comments / emails congratulating me on my card that was on the  Stampin Up! Stampers  showcase yesterday WOWZIE!! which by the  way was THIS CARD   What a  fabulous day ! Thank you  girls  for looking  out  for me .. Stampers are the Best gals  around !

Detroit Tigers & More

I  found these little  boxes of  chip board  pieces at  the dollar store  and  I grabbed  one of each design . This is the  1st  card I made with this design box called "Baby Boy "  I think its sooo weird  making a card with my name on it  I just wish I  more letters  cause I would make all my  "Dawn " Friends one too .. Yesterday  We decorated our  church hall  for a  fellowship dinner we are having with  the Missionaries that are in  town  this whole week  so you  all know where I am going to be  today HUH?  Here is the theme  we decorated in  "He's got the whole world ~in His Hand ". Just curious have any of you  seen Expelled :NO Intelligence Allowed   yet ? I really  want to see this movie I have heard  really  awesome things  about it .. man I am really jumping  all over the  place today  sorry But my mind seems  to  be  going in  different  directions as I write this .. so with  that  how about seeing a less than 4 min video from our Saturday at COMERICA PARK with   our Detroit Tigers ..  beware  the  1st part of the  video may make  you  little woozie  with Jessies  sudden movements  But  its still fun  the  rest of the video is  just a FEW highlights  that I caught on  video  NSR ( Not stamping  related )  But  OH soooo AWESOME!! Thanks  for  peeking in  today.

Until later... Happy Stampin!

You girls are cracking me up ..

OH my goodness .. you  all have me laughing  today about my  mug I posted this morning,  So I thought I would post a couple  extra photos of this  cute  "design your own mug " from the  dollar store .. Here is what the  mug looked  like when I  bought it .. and then the next photo  shows a break down on how it  comes apart  for you  to add your  design .. I took the template out ( see 1st photo)  then traced that onto  the summer picnic   designer paper  and   then  inserted it back inside  super cute huh?  Your comments  and emails  today had me  crying with laughter .. you  girls are  to much .   You know Laughter is soo Great for the soul .. Thanks girls for making my  day!

See you tomorrow

Until then.... Happy Stampin!!

Look what I found ....

  Look what I  found at my local  dollar store .. YAHOO!!  super  cute HUH?  and  can't beat that for $1 . I of  course  just had to use  my Summer picnic  DS paper again  and I used the  stamp set  BE HAPPY  for the   center  "Smile" greeting then added bashful  blue card stock strip  around the  base ..  Easy peasy ..  Now I just need my  7-Eleven  coffee inside then I'm all set LOL

Have a fabulous Monday girls .

Until later... Happy Stampin!

My 1st Detroit Tigers Game

  WHO's YOUR TIGER ?

 

OH my  goodness  what a  Fabulous day yesterday was   we were gone  from 9am until late last night  we got  to  meet  so many  Tigers  that  each gave their  personal  Testimony of  Christ in their life ..  I personally think this   was the best part of the  whole day  It was amazing .. I have alot of videos I need to make for my hubby  WOW!!! Here are a few that  shared what Christ has  done in their  life

Kent  Bottenfield ( retired  MLB pitcher,

Jason Grilli ( Tigers Pitcher ),

Nate  Roberston ( Tigers pitcher) ,

Todd Jones ( Tigers Pitcher ),

Frank Tanana ( Retired Tigers pitcher ) 

and Willie Horton WOWZIE!!!

After we  heard  the players  testimonies  we all got to go on the field  and Look~ here are our feet on the  turf.. WOW  what an amazing  feeling  being on the  field  and not a dandelion in  sight LOL... Tigers won 6~ Angels 4

Over 42,000 in attendance for the game  Over 5,000  for Home plate  event . I  had sooo much fun and  believe it or NOT I can  understand  why so many LOVE Baseball  Its sooo AWESOME  who would have thought  that ? NOT me  LOL  So many highlights   I will let the rest of the photos speak  for themselves .

 

I must share  this   funny moment  with you all  after we are in our seats  probably  20-25 mins or so   have passed loud speaker  comes on  and  says  there is a car in the parking lot ( License plate  number is read & type of car ) that  is still running  and  is Unlocked and Keys are in  the ignition .. Not thinking anything  about it  But   really who could have  done that  ? All of a sudden Our Pastor  jumps up and  takes off  and  Guess  it was  Our Pastor Brad's car .  NOW Whats  really  amazing  is that NO one actually  drove off with it .. I mean really  we  were in  Detroit  LOL :-) Praise  God !! Such  a Fabulous day  I am really looking  forward to next year  to  go with my honey bunch ..One thing we must not  forget next year is the Sunblock ~YIKES!!!

Thanks  for peeking in  today girls and Have a wonderful Sunday ..

P.S OH YEA~  don't think  Pastor Brad is getting off that easy  our  Song leader will be making  an announcement    to the church  this morning that there is a car in the parking  lot  still running  with the keys inside   OMG  its  gonna be a HOOT!!

Until later ... Happy Stampin!!

TRUE FRIEND..

Howdy stampers ..

Here is a card  I made last week  and  I love the black with the purely Pomegrante and the groovy guava  makes it all POP  with the black HUH?  I used the ONE OF A KIND stamp set  with BOHO BACKGROUNDS and  TRUE FRIEND for the  greeting .. I also used the 3/16  corner rounder for the  top scallops + the 1/2 circle punch for the  center of  flower. and Look at the greeting I used the white gel pen  to highlight  Friend  and You ( Love that part ) :-)

HEY guess whats  on tomorrow night ?

Jump  on over to my  STAMP SHOP  and see what I have been making ..

Until later...Happy Stampin

Once in awhile ..

Every  once in awhile I  come up with a bright idea  Hee! Hee!  while I was playing with my  Carousel Notes ( Which are FABULOUS girls ..  SERIOUSLY!!!

you ALL  must get them before they are Gone this next month )  Look  what I  came up with ... pretty cute huh?  I think This will actually be my Moms Mothers day card this year, Since it's Very unique ( Just like her ).. What I did was fold the Carousel notes in half ( one of each color  Soft sky, Wild Wasabi, and  Groovy guava )   and  used  the  scallop punch  to make a type of a  suspension  card on each panel  . I  then added  Chocolate  taffeta  ribbon  to  hold the  circle punches in the  center of the scallop punch outs  and then made a  ribbon loop tag  to  add a little flair  to her card .. I  took photos of each panel and also of the  side  to  give you  a  visual of  what it looks like  put together. I used the ONE OF A KIND &  TRUE FRIEND stamp sets  to  bring it  all together .. a TON of dimensionals  were  used for this project. 

Dawns Little side note .. You will punch one  scallop out then line the others  up with that punch out  since it is really hard to punch  through  2  layers ...

I really love  the way it turned  out , Just as I imagined  it .. Don't you like it  when  things  work out that way ?

Yesterday  I was able to take my  car in  to start the  work on repairs YAHOO ..  We decided  Not  to go with the rental car  so instead  I am using my hubbys truck :-) .  I called to see how much it  would be  to put   insurance on it  and get it out of storage  for 5  days  and get this~ It's ONLY $12.66  for all 5 days  The rental  was  going to be  about 20.00 a day  so thats a savings ..  But  I am sure that will be  eaten up when I have to fill the gas  up  at the end of the 5 days ( Its all GOOD!! and  still Praising  God ) .. But  whats even better is that we are driving it  since its been just sitting there  for over  1 year now .. It's sooo pretty & fun to drive.

Have a Fabulous Tuesday !

Thank you for  stopping  By today .

Until later.. Happy Stampin !!

Dreams come True ..

Oh my  goodness  I just love this card .. Nothing  really fancy Maybe thats why I think  it looks   sooo Masculine ..  The  creamy  caramel  and cho chip together  make it OH soooo   yummy.  I used the  retired  wheel "Star studded "  for my  background  in  chocolate  chip  then filled in  the stars with the white gel pen  added  the saying  "May all your dreams  come true" in  chocolate chip ( see upclose photo) then  used  my  daubers alot  around the  edges  in  chocolate chip and then added Creamy  caramel  ink with dauber  on the swirls  and  ontop of the white gel pen stars .. I  got to use my new "STAR "punch( Love it!) which I punched out in Whisper white CS and then used my dauber with Creamy  Caramel and Chocolate chip inks for them also . I  used lots of  dimensionals  and the 1 3/8 sq punch  for the  center layer that holds the 3 stars.

What will I be doing today ?

I will start working on my cards for my Stamp-a- stack event YAHOO!! , Which is on May 24th  click HERE for more  Information, if your in the area  and want to  come and play~ I would love to have you  join us ..

For my  card I was playing this weekend and  was throwing  some  different  colored CS together  that I rarely use and TA DA!!!  I think it looks  pretty spiffy  HUH?  The colors  are  Night of Navy , Really  Rust and More Mustard ( Who would have thought? ). The  stamp set is  a hostess ONLY set called INFINITE GOODNESS level 2.

Praise  God no one was  hurt  and  My Insurance   company will be paying for the 1,300.00  worth of damage  and It was NOT my  fault ... We live  between  2 schools  one on  each  end of our street  and for  some  reason  the  parents  at the elem. school  park their  cars  on both sides of the street  which they are NOT to do .. while I was  passing   the truck which was parked Illegally her son  swung open the  back  driver side  door  really fast to get out to go into school and well you  can see what happened next right ..  Just praising God  it wasn't worse . I will be taking my  car in next week to be fixed  and make it look like new..  sooo while my  car gets  a face lift, me and a rental car have a date next week  for 3-5 days while they replace the  front  fender , fix my  door  and  put a new mirror on .

Thanks  for  stopping in again  stampers see you  tomorrow .. Your comments  today  about Elvis sure has  lifted my  spirits  and got my  mind off my car issue.. Love to hear from all you  ELVIS fans ..  Thank you !!! You  made my day reading your sweet  comments( keep'em coming ) :-)

NSR  today girls .. Just getting  ready for  the  videos this week wink wink !! So today I thought I  would share a  little  about  whats going on in our neck of the woods .. Plus  share a New  hairdo  that Bowzer has  Hee! Hee!

This past Monday I called and got appointment's  for Jessie.

#1.  To have her 4 wisdom teeth pulled YUCK!  Its looking  like the end of May  for  that to happen  since she will be out of school  then for the summer ..

Then #2 appointment ~ Brace yourself Jessie  will be starting  driving training  June 13th  I am in a wee  bit of  shock that we would be  approaching  such a   wonderful day in my  Daughters  life already  .. Where oh where has the time  gone .. The  really  cool thing is that her last day of Phase 1 will be  on the day her dad comes  home  for R & R. SOOO  I guess you  can say  Him & I will have a  Chauffeur alot of the time when   he is home ..( Its been a long time  since I sat in the back seat with my hubby ( kwim? ) I am  so excited for her  But  Not as excited as she is of course .. Now the wisdom teeth being  removed   thats another story.

By the way she doesn't  wear glasses  she  got these at Claire's  in the Mall  she has a thing  for  glasses, Like her  mom does about Hats I suppose :-)

#3 Then last night Rich & I decided  that we would   cash in our  resort points which are going to expire  in 2 weeks ( WHEW did that in the nick of time )  for  (3) 4 -day hooper  tickets to Disney  YAHOO !! I feel a  Florida  vacation  coming  in the near future....:-)

Is this the cutest  thing or what .. Here is Bowzer  with the Pirate  hairdo Hee! Hee! ..  You can pimp your pooch(  or cat  I suppose)  HERE  can't wait to see what your  fury friends look like .. Will you pick the Jessica, Ashton , Donald trump or  another one  that they have listed over there  ( Bowzer is a Pirate ).. Its to  fun! Jessie and I would have  done PINK but Bowzer is a Boy  you know :-) and Johnny Depp is a hottie , So I guess this makes Bowzer a "Hot" Dog.. Hee! Hee!

Thanks  for peeking in today .. Looks like it will be 70 degrees  today~ YAHOO  for Spring !

Happy Stampin!

Thinking of you ..

I  was playing  this weekend  and I made this cute & very simple  card using the ONE OF A KIND  stamp set  along with  the  rub ons from SAB and with the Fabulous BOHO punch and ticket corner punch . I Then added  some celery Ds paper  and celery  GG ribbon  and  did  alittle  paper piercing  along the  top of the  whisper white& bottom of  celery DS paper,  then  added a couple  silver brads .. Cardstock colors  for base and layers are Groovy Guava, Purely pomegranate. I think this just may be one of my  SAS cards .. I'm still  thinking on it though ..

Thanks  for  stopping  by today.

Hi Stampers:

Hope your weekend was fabulous !  I just love this card .. actually my  club girls  were the 1st to see it  YAHOO! I seen THIS card  and  Had to make one myself .. Of course it is  using  the  orange  from the TART & TANGY stamp set ( again ) Isn't  this the cuttest thing  you  ever  seen .. I added a  extra  little  accessory to mine, which you can see better in the upclose photo.I hand drew the watermelon seeds  with my  Black Marker  then added  Crystal effects  to them .. really makes them POP If you KWIM ?( Know what I mean )  and seems  so life like  IMHO ( in my humble opinon) . I just love the SPRIAL punch & my  cuttlebug  with the Green galore Card stock . I added  black and white doodle  dots & 2 Black Vintage brads .. The greeting  is from a  stamp set that retired a fews  years  back  called FRUITY PHRASES   This set will  forever be in my  collection   and so happy it is  since  it  goes so  Fabulous with this card ...Don't  you think  ?

Thanks for peeking it and sharing a  part of your day with me
