Happy Sunday ...

Hi Stampers: 

What an awesome weekend  it has been .  Last night was  my Scrapbook camp  had 6  of my  Stampin Queens come and make their  scrapbook pages  with me . It is always  such a  fun time  getting together with my  girls .  I made a  quick  video with my Stampin queens at our  event last night ~ what a Hoot ! ( Enjoy the photos & Stampin queens Q&A video ( below)  from my scrapbook camp  event last night )

I  also thought I would share  something  I just got the biggest chuckle out of . My stampin  friend Trish  that  I met at convention  ..  She sent me this email  and  I  asked her if I  could  share it  with all of you today ( read below)..

Okay so you don't really know me (I'm one of the girls who accosted you at lunch on the last day of convention) but I thought you would get a kick out of this.  

 

On Sunday afternoon I had my stamp club girls here and we're all stampin' away in my basement workshop when my 6 year old daughter comes down the stairs and in a bang on impression of you says " Hi Stampersssss!"  Totally cracked us all up. 

 

So anyway, you're a rock star at my house.

 

Thanks for all you do and share!

 

Trish

Cute spider on a stick ...

Hi Stampers :

Today I thought I would make a short video on this spider ..  I mainly  wanted to show you how I  did the legs , But I also give you all the punches I used as well for the body , head  & eyes . The tag I used "Batty for you"  # 109363 Stamp set  and added  some googley eyes  to that little spider  tag  ( I used the 1 1/4" Circle punch #104403 & and 1 3/8" circle punch #104401 for the tag )

Enjoy the quick Video today Stampers .

Punches ..

Hi Stampers:

Look at what I bought  to hold all my  wonderful SU! punches. 

SERIOUSLY  though ,When I 1st purchased this  I figured I would have  a few extra spaces  for  the future punches I purchase, BUT as you  can see  every  slot is filled  so that just means I  will start doubling up ( which is Great as well ) .

Who  would have thought I had so many punches .. I never  knew  I had so many .I guess that's  because  I had them all scattered around my Craft room  in ( 2) draws ,and  on my  counter,  Everywhere else But never  all in one place. Sure  do love the  looks of them  in  one  lovely  location  now .

 I got this  hanger for my punches  at Bed Bath & Beyond  for $16.99   the  top two  slots   are small and those hold my  smallest  punches perfectly , Plus the  see through mesh I can  spot the exact punch I want  with ease .

 Have a Fabulous Tuesday  Stampers and Thanks so much for sharing a part of your  day with me  today

Until Later... Happy Stampin!!

Happy Sunday 9-21-08 ...

  Hi Stamper:

Here is another Double bag pouch I made  I used  the new Hawaii Papaya Designer  Series Paper # 112460.  I also used the  Designer  Label Punch #107590  for the  greeting  and  to layer that  I punched out the  Tangerine  tango  Card stock  with the same punch and  cut  it in half  to make the  layer  behind  the greeting . I also added  a bunch of  flowers using the  Trio  Flower punch  # 109183  in Kiwi Kiss  card stock  You can view the video on how to make this double  bag pouch HERE 

I have collected  some Fabulous designer paper  over the last 5 years with Stampin Up! So I have decided  to part  with all my  retired designer paper  that  I have collected and pass them on to YOU! 

 I  have cut  all of what I have  from over the last 4 years into  stacks of 6x6 ( all retired  from 2003-2007) . 

These stacks  are fabulous  for  quick added  elements to your projects , scrapbook pages  this size is also perfect for  the all kinds of Big shot goodies you make  for gifts . 

Each stack of 6x6 Has  retired Designer paper  & paper from  retired  simply  scrappin kits . Each stack  has 100+  6x6 sheets with   assorted  designs,   from older  designer packs which have designs on  one side,  some are  double sided  Plus  there  are  some  with Vellum  designs  as well from the 2003/2004 catalog  If your interested in  purchasing a  stack  for $25.00 Priority  shipping  is included  within the USA ONLY  Please contact me HERE   

 Updated 6:55pm 9-22-08

 All Stack packs have been SOLD ~

Thank you so much !

This breaks down to appox. 20 cents per 6x6  sheet  of beautiful  designer  paper.

For My Sunday share  today is this awesome video I came  across  awhile ago . Really  shows us  visually how Satan  gets in our  lives  making  us Promises and of  course  never  following through  &  Having  us  search for Happiness in many different  avenues,  BUT Praise God We Know  who Brings True & Total Happiness and fulfillment  &  what's even better is that  Jesus Christ  is  ALWAYS waiting  for  us to  run back to him  with HIS open arms to be our  Fortress ( 2 Samuel 22:2-4)   and Wall of protection ( Psalms 46: 1-7)  if  we let HIM!  No words  in this Video BUT  No words are necessary to hear the message Loud and clear .HE IS EVERYTHING!!!

Enjoy

Until later... Happy Stampin!!

 Dont you love  Frankie today .. He  got a new hair  do WHAT  you  can't tell ?.. yes  he kept the  same  color & style (Thank  goodness ) But his hair texture  is not card stock~ it's Foam  I used my Big  shot  and  cut  him out  with the  top note  Bigz Die ( which this  die  is  standard in the starter kit ) with Green  galore cardstock  and then ran  the  foam  through my big shot  with the same  die  for his Hair  a few cuts for his whispy bang and TA -DA a New Hair Do !!

I layered Frankie  on  Pumpkin pie card stock which I used the  HAUNTING HALLOWEEN stamp set  for the  background with black ink   and my white gel pen for the  stars .I  then layered that onto Back cardstock ..

I use the  Happy Halloween  greeting  from ALL HOLIDAYS  stamp set  Oh and  for his  neck pegs I used the MY WAY punch  and  just cut the  arrow heads off the large  arrow then he  fits  perfect on  a  standard card front .. OH I love mr Frankie .. Maybe not as much as Mr Crabby Pants But he is in the  top 5 for sure :-)

On a funnier  note here is a Great joke for you  today .. (Got this one  from  my hubby yesterday  LOVE IT!!)

Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who was better on the computer. They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was tired of hearing all the bickering.
 
Finally fed up, God said, 'THAT'S IT! I have had enough.  I am going to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results, I will judge who does the better job.'
 
So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.
 
They moused.
 
They Faxed.
 
They E-mailed.
 
They E-mailed with attachments.
 
They downloaded.
 
They did spreadsheets!
 
They wrote reports.
 
They created labels and cards.
 
They created charts and graphs.
 
They did some genealogy reports
 
They did every job known to man.
 
Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell.
 
Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning   suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, rain  poured, and, of course, the power went off.
 
Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known in the underworld!!!!
 
Jesus just sighed...........
 
Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted their computers. Satan started searching
frantically, screaming:
 
'It's gone! It's all GONE! 'I lost everything when the power went out!'
 
Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from the past two hours of work.
 
Satan observed this and became irate.
 
'Wait!' he screamed. 'That's not fair! He cheated! How come he has all his work and I don't have any?'
 
God just shrugged and said,
