Dawn's Sunday Share 9-27-09

Howdy Stampers: 

Happy  Sunday  to all of  you .

As I sit here  I am not  really  sure If I will be  going to church or not this morning :( I have had  no voice all week long   But now I have a  terrible cough and can't  seem to  stop  when It starts  .

 I did finally   go to the doctor yesterday and  they gave me  some cough syrup  with codine to help with the coughing. Doctor  said  laryngitis  can last 7-10 days  and to try and not  talk ( do you know how hard it is not  to talk ?)   which  is  what Jessie  keeps  telling me ( not  to talk ) cause  I sound  sooo Terrible ..

 It seems like forever  since I  went to church even  though I know it has only been 2 Wednesdays  and 1 Sunday  that I missed  due  to Founders Circle  trip  and being  sick.

 I am very Thankful I made  this past weeks 2 videos ahead of time  before  I left for FC  trip  since I came  home  and was sick  all this  week  YUCKY! 

  Please Say a prayer for me & my voice  that I can get  some  videos  done for  this upcoming  week. 

 I was able  to  send my  digital scrapbook in to get  printed  and I am waiting   for it  to arrive any day now .   The Great news  is that  My Digital studio# 118108  will become available   for all of you on Oct 1st .. YAHOO!

  I am so excited  for all of you to get this fabulous  program  I Just love mine and I  will be making a calender  soon  also .  stay  tuned  for my  finished  book  I am so excited  to get it

We  finally ordered  all of Jessie's Senior pictures  this past Thursday  evening , We are  very excited  to get them all back  next week Plus  then I can share  them with you.

Jessie went  to her Homecoming dance  last night  she went  with a bunch of  girls  this year and had so much fun !

For my Sunday share  video my friend Gwen sent me this adorable cat  video ~ What a HOOT!  and here I thought cats didn't like the water ( go figure )   .I guess this cat thought it  was easier  to soak his head  under the  faucet to get a drink ~ sooo cute :)

Can't view todays Sunday share video click HERE

 

Have a Fabulous  Sunday  and thank you so much  for  peeking in today  and I will see you  again tomorrow .

Hello card video ....

 

Hi Stampers:

I thought It would be fun to start a new  Video catagory  and call it  Happy Stamping.

  This catagory  will feature  cards that  are  simple  and quickly  made.

  I will make  the  whole  card  with you  in  each video  except  for the  cutting  and adhereing some  items  together   to help speed  up the proccess  .

This  catagory will  be added  to all my other  video links  HERE .  

You  will have  to scroll  down  to  view the new  Happy Stamping  video  links .

Like most of  you  I love  all kinds of  cards  Moving , spinning , pop up   and  lets not  forget the technique  ideas BUT  sometimes  it  just  fun to stamp a simple  type of card,  so this will be  what this  Happy Stamping  catagory will focus on . 

 So  does that sound like a bunch of  fun or what  ?

Today's  Happy Stamping  Card  will be this Sweet Hello card .  I stamped this card  at Convention  this past Aug   So if  you  are a demonstrator  and  were unable  to attend  convention  Here is  one of our M&T's  we made .

This card  can be used  for many occasions   a Thinking of  you   card  comes  to mind as I write  this  But  wheather  you make one  or a bunch  to have on hand  for those last minute  grab & go   cards  this is  the perfect  quick  & simple  one  you  can  send  to  everyone  to make  them  smile :) 

 Click on over to my Stamping Studio to view  todays  video  and  get the  supply  list there  also .

 Until later.. Happy Stamping!

Founder's Circle 2009 ~ Part 3

Hi Stampers:

Today will be the last  founders circle  post for  at least a couple days  so I can bring  you  my  videos for the week :)

PJ party  was Friday Night  and I started loosing my  voice  I sounded like kermit  the frog  that night  YUCK!  anywho Update  today: I still have no voice But I have a  cold  so thats  double  yucky .

 anyway  Lets  talk  about  Founder's circle  highlights of places we went  and  things we saw  shall we :)

  On the list of places  to go  was  to visit  Kanab Friday morning. 

This is  the  one  place  I was  so excited to  go  and see . Kanab is where SU!  manufacturing  facility is  and we  got  to see how  a Stamp set is  made  from  start  to finish.some of us even got  to cut the rubber  and  box  sets  sooo funny  how slow we were  compared to  the SU! employees that do this everyday .

I Just love that all our Rubber stamp sets  are made  right here in the USA

Oh my gosh if  you only knew what  there is  to make 1 stamp set  I am  sure  you  would be amazed  as  I was  and I have  such a deeper  appreciation of  how  things  work on  that end  then I have ever  had before . 

We were  not  allowed  to  take photos of  the 

actual  areas  where  the magic takes place But  did  get  some  photos  of 

Shelli's apartment  on the top floor  which is  where people stay  from corp  and  whatever  else 

they want to use it  for . The apartment  just screams

Shelli everywhere  so beautiful  and of  course one of the 

highlights before & after the tour  is to head  down to the  famous SU! rock

and get your photo taken  by it .

One of the cuttest moments  when  we 1st arrived  at kanab  was  we  were directed  to the  restrooms  since they knew we all really had  to "go" since it is a 2 hour  rode trip there  BUT before  he pointed us in the direction  he mentioned that  they converted the Mens  restrooms  into Ladies  just for US! OH  How sweet  is that ..   NO  not a Huge conversion  Just a  little  small fine  detail  that  most would over look  ( see photo ) So Awesome !

After the tour  we headed down the road  to Kanab Park  for  a catered lunch YUMMY!! 

Notice the  super  cute busckets  which  went  with the whole theme  the 5 days of Founder's circle~ Just darling .

Then after  lunch  we  walked over to the  park  where all the  scrap rubber SU! donated  to make as a cusion under the  play items  of  course this was  way cooler  with my shoes off  so  I had  to  jump in  with my bare feet  and feel all that rubber  between my toes :)  talk about  a  awesome  and weird  experience  at the same time .

Then  after photos were taken and rubber  being tossed in the air  we headed  to a little  country  store called Dennys  Wigwam and shopped  for a little while .

I snaped this photo of  the  girls  relaxed in the  big  chair  how cute are  they :)  

This was Just one of the fabulous things we did  at Founder's  Circle  which was a HUGE highlight   for me  and everyone that goes .

Please click on any photo to enlarge  your viewing .

Until later... Happy Stampin!

Founder Circle 2009 ~ Part 2

Hi Stampers :

Every night during Founders Circle we were so spoiled  with  pillow gifts .

 I am sorry I have to  distort the 1st  pillow gift photo . Some of the items  we  got  are not even released yet. I hear  you  all gasping  ~ sorry ... If it gives you  any comfort there was alot of  GASPING in our rooms  over all our Wonderful  pillow gifts too:)

#1 Wednesday night  we recieved  this bundle of goodies  all wrapped  up in  a pretty ribbon bow . Inside the bundle  are the items listed below : 

a FREE stamp set , a package of all the new 6 In color markers , and 3 spools of   in  color Polka dot ribbon. The in Color  markers  and  ribbon  were all tucked inside  the 2 Gusseted  envelopes . These were the items  we also got  to make  our M&T's  with .. so much Fun!

 

#2 Thursday night  We  all got  The Secret Garden book  all  tied  up laying on our beds . The sweetest  thing is that Shelli Hand  signed each and every book  personally  to  each Founder circle  achiever . How awesome is  that ?

#3 Friday night ( PJ party )  We all returned  to our rooms  to find  these AMAZING Stampin Up! Boots . OH my gosh I think I may have  screamed  the loudest  when I seen these  awesome  boots  sitting on my  bed  .  1st question  came  to my  mind was How  did SU! know my shoe size ? 

The best part is that MY boots  fit  and yes I will be wearing them ( I Will share photos of that  when I wear them ).

The Boots were custom made for us, cause I thought at 1st  they applied  decor'elements to them BUT Nope They were made that way~ Soo stinkin cute ! 

A few   girls  mentioned the next morning at Breakfast that  they are going to   put  them on  display  with  flowers  inside  ( Love that idea  too ) BUT I am for  sure going to wear mine .  I added  another photo  to show  you  the SU!  logo on the back . The  journal that is in the photo with my  fabulous boots  was givin to us as the PJ party along with a Beautiful SU! Pen  to write  with.

#4 Saturday Night ( Last offical night of Founders circle )  After  our Mystery Dinner date  Saturday night  we returned  to our rooms  to find  this  Beautiful Butterfly  charm  in  super cute Matchbox( Hummm  did everyone  get a Purple box ( pale plum )  or was that  something else  they knew about me? HUMMMM)  The Charm  has 2 butterflies  attached with the bottom  butterfly  engraved  " Founders Circle 2009"  Is that Precious or what ?

SU!  Truely  spoiled  us  from the moment  we landed  at the airport  with bottled water and snacks  to greet us for our  Ride  to St George . 

When we arrived  at the hotel we all signed up  for  a game  to play I called it  the butterfly  game  any who  the object was  to have  all 5 butterflies  you   got ( same color )  you needed  to swap  your  butterflies with  5 other  founder circle  achievers  to end  up with all 5 different  colored  butterflies  Once you  got all 5 different  color butterflies  you  can  go get your FREE stamp set . which by  the  way  is a stamp set that has not been released yet  also ( All 3 FREE stamp sets  we all got are all Brand new from the Occasions mini  )

 BINGO was  played  on the bus  ride to Kanab with SU! goodies as prizes ( Ribbon , button, clips , rub ons  etc...) . But even if I didn't  win  at Bingo  we all got  a spool of 3/4" Polka Dot GG  ribbon # 115608  and  the Ho Ho Ho On board  chip board pack # 117613.

Plese click on any photo to enlarge your  viewing

 Thank you  so much Stampin'Up!  you  are  truely  AMAZING !    I am so blessed  to be  a part of  such an Awesome company .

Thanks  so much for  stopping by today .

Have a Fabulous Tuesday

Until Later.. Happy Stampin! 

Founder's Circle 2009 ~ Part 1

Hi Stampers :

I feel as Though I have a smile embedded on my face  from  the AMAZING  Founders  Circle  event  so many of my friends asked me what the highlight of my  1st Founders circle was ?

There is NO possible way to narrow it down to  even a hand ful of highlights  that I loved the most ~  since I loved EVERYTHING That took place over the 5 days  of  Founders circle .  So over  the next Few days I will  touch on just a few  in details ~How  does that sound ?

1st having Shelli  at Founders  Circle was  sooo wonderful  she was so accessible  to all of us  there  I felt as though I was dreaming. 

 Shelli  took   time  to chat  with  and  share  herself with  all of us .  She took part in everything we did  ~

yes even swapping her card   and  stamping. This was sooo amazing :) 

Next on my  most memorable  highlight  are all the Fabulous friends 

I made at Founder's  . 

Being the  new kid

on the block at

Founders  

everyone made me  feel very special  and  so many  friendships were  started at this event

 

that I hope  to have  for a lifetime .  So many  of my  friends  I knew already  made this  amazing  event  even  sweeter.

I added My photos  from Founders circle   in a gallery ( top right side of my  blog )   I will  touch base on  these  photos over the  next few days  But  go take a peek  if you like  and  please  click on any photo  here  in my  blog post  to enlarge  your viewing .

Happy Haunting....

Hi Stampers:

This is  a pop rock  candy  envelope holder  which is the same  thing I made  for my  Founders circle  swaps HERE

  but instead of  holding a packet of Hot cocoa  I added Pop  rocks candy instead  & this one is Halloween themed . LOVE IT!

For the background of my  envelope  I used the bubbles  from the  stamp set Halloween Hoot # 111582  The Skeleton & Happy Haunting is from the  Scary Skeleton  stamp set # 113244. I then  added a small  snip of Black Grosgrain ribbon  #109027 .Then I added a Bunch of dazzling diamonds # 102023 to my skeleton

Thanks   for  stopping back in  today

See you  later.

Special card for a special person ...

Hi Stampers:

Todays card is just the cuttest thing  especially  since  the person I sent it to  will get such a laugh :)  Thats  the best part of this card  for me Hee! Hee! 

  I made this card  for my Favoritest  cousin Ruthie   as a thank you note for her  giving me  this Coach purse . Look at my  cute little girl bear  she is  carrying  a Celery " Coach " purse too . Jess & Rich  both wanted me  to add  C's  to  her purse  But  when I tried doing this it  just wasn't  working  right . so  I am sticking with  No designer  lable designs . But  I am sure Ruthie  will totally  understand  the  card LOL .

I used the  stamp set Things I love#115229  for my background  on my  card  I embossed  with clear embossing powder #109130 on  to the Creamy  caramel card  stock

The  Build-a-bear  items I used for my  girl bear   are as follows

Stampin'Up! Bear Bigz Die # 117977

Stampin'Up! Beary Essentials  die # 117978

Stampin'Up! Beary Girl #117982

Pawsitively Prints  designer paper # 118060

Yesterday was Jessie  1st day as a Senior .  I had  to snap a photo of her on her  way out the  door. 

Plus  this past week I got my  flight information  and  these  cute luggage tags  all packaged  up in this  adorable Gusseted Envelope # 115693 from Stampin'Up!  The package  is for my  trip to St. George  UT.  for Founders Circle  event next week  . I am soo excited .

Stay tuned for tomorrow  video :)

Until later..Happy Stampin!

Spooky Nights Scrapbook Page...

Hi Stampers :

 I am having  so much fun with Build a bear  goodies.

   Today I wanted to share  this 8 1/2 "X 11" scrapbook page I made.

 Most of  you know  I don't  do much scrapbooking   BUT  Hold on~ All that is about to change  since  we got the new  Digital Studio in the Holiday mini ( YAHOO!!)  Stay tuned  for  that :)

 anywho .. Todays page  I used the build a bear   Dies  for my little  pumpkin  teddy .

He is  sooo cute ! I used the Stamin'Up! Bear  die # 117977  and the   Hallowen costume  my bear is wearing is   the Stampin Up! Kooky  Spooky die # 117979 .

 For my  sparkly  glitter  strip along the left side of my page  I used sticky stip#104294 and  then add  the   gorgeous orange  glitter  from the Fine Supernova glitter pack # 114287 How easy is that ? LOVE IT!

 For  some reason I always  think  that Lovely lilac and Green  galore  look  so Great  for the Halloween season and paired  up with the  Only Orange & Black makes it even better for my  simple   8 1/2 " X 11" scrapbook page huh? . I just love these colors  together :)

 The Spooky nights  greeting  is from the  stamp set called Halloween Frights  # 111766 and that was stamped in the  Crazy cool # 115211 Bubble

Have a Fabulous Monday .

Thanks  so much  for  peeking  in today .

Until later.. Happy Stampin!
