Hi Stampers : Happy Sunday Friends!

What have  I been up to  this last week ?

HUMMM Well I got our Taxes  done  on Friday

 This past week the front end of our Grand Prix  shaking a little bit  and thought  it was  time  to rotate and balance our tires well That didn't fix  the shaking ...

Ok so maybe I need  to get a front end  alignment  so I went yesterday  to have  that done  and  The guy asked me what was happening  and I told him the front end was shaking  But only  when I  accelerated  and he  said he didn't think it was the  alignment.

 They took it  for a  test drive  and  yup it didn't need  an alignment ,   BUT  needed  the 2 front  axle's replaced  so  I went ahead and did  that but I didn't know my GTP grand prix needed a special  driver side axle  that Only 1 place  in Oakland county had on hand  so  they had  to  go pick it up  in Ferndale Mi  YIKES!!  Long story short My Car is  driving Great again :) YAHOO! 

Earlier this week we had to take Bowzer in  for his ears . Poor  baby  HATES  going to the vet  because of the tile  floors.

  Sure enough he had a infection "again" But he  is feeling much better.

 

Bowzer gets so excited  to go bye bye But if Bowzer ONLY knew where he was going I don't think he would be  so excited :(

Jessie wrote a poem for her Creative writing class  at school  and Oh my  goodness  I love it  so much  I thought I would share  it with all of  you  Just click HERE to view .

This weeks Sunday Share  video is super  awesome .. You all know  the commerical FREE CREDIT REPORT.COM  well Tim Hawkins  has done it again with his Spin on this catchy commercial song with a Christian twist ~ LOVE IT!! 

J-E-S-U-S Baby !!

  Hi Stampers :

Today's card I used the Level 2 Hostess stamp set in the Occasions mini called Picnic  Parade.

I thought it  would be cute to have  the bird  flying away  with the  basket . 

I love too color & coloring these cute little images was  really fun and relaxing for me .I used the Sending love notes~ Hugs # 118778   from the Occasions mini, It seemed  to be the Perfect size for my card  today .

I used  Bashful blue for my card base and the matching Bashful blue satin ribbon #117120.

Did  you notice  all my doodle dots Holy moly  I  kinda went crazy with my white gel pen # 105021  But  it sure was fun . I even added a doodle dot to my 2 brads  Hee! Hee!  

I also added  tiny touches of Dazzling diamonds # 102023 to certain parts  of my little animals.

P.S    SU! Markers were used  for coloring :)

Thanks  for stopping by today...  I will see you  tomorrow .

Until later.. Happy Stampin!

Let the fun begin !!

Hi Stampers :

Here is a card I made over the weekend . I just love  all the purple /aka Orchid Opulence  on  this card  and it really pops with the black card stock .

I used the  stamp set Let the fun begin #115350  for the greeting  so many cute saying in this set  and it  fits  great in the word window punch too :)

The designer paper is from the Shades of Spring designer paper # 117160 in the Occasions mini .

I used the Beautiful Wings embosslit #118138  as well as the Scallop trim border punch which you  can get for FREE in the Sale-a-Bration mini HERE.

 

Until later.. Happy Stampin! 

Guess this explains why ....

Hi Stampers :

Guess this explains  why My right hand/wrist was hurting  so bad over the  weekend .

 We started getting  lots of  snow  last night after midnight  up to 8" are expected by the end of the day YUCK!

Have  to venture out in the snow today to take my  Bowzer to vet  for his ears .

Until later... Happy Stampin!

Hi Stampers :

 If  you have been  following my  Sunday shares  for  awhile  you  all must know by now I love Michael W. Smith  and this song is one of my All time favorites. 

  So very powerful and is  the most requested  song  by me  to our Song leader ( Andrew ) at church  I think  he plays it just to make me be quite .. 

He  has been Jessie's  "Rent-a-Dad"  while  Her Dad is  away  and what a Awesome "Rent-a-Dad" he is  for Jess too.  Who else  would let her draw a third eye on  the back of his head :)

 

I am so Happy I can play  this song on You Tube whenever  I want  so I don't have  to bug Andrew  all the time Hee! Hee!  

We love  you Andrew!!

OH wait a minute I have 1 more video  for you  today remember when My  week Daughter (Ashleigh) lived with us  for 10 Days .. Well Guess what ?

Happy Easter ....

Hi Stampers:

 Todays card may look familiar to you if  you seen this post  on my  blog last month .

I cased  the layout of my card from my  friend Debbie's card that  she sent me . ( Thank you Debbie ) .

 Just by changing the colors / designer paper/ stamp image  from Debbie's sample  it   gives  this card a whole new look. That's 1 thing I love most about stamping . 

Oh my Goodness  Valentines  day is over & here  comes Easter.  Pretty soon  my Tulips will be  blooming  and you all know what that means right ?

 SPRING !!  

 My  Happy Easter  card I  wanted  to use  Spring colors  so I  used the  new designer paper from the Occasions mini called Shades of Spring# 117160  ( Perfect  name HUH?)

Here are the measurements for my card :

Base  4 1/4" X 11 " ( scored  at 5 1/2") Orchid Opulence card stock #100969

Whisper white  # 100730  layer  cut at 4" X 5 1/4" 

I used the new Perfect polka dots impressions  folder #117335

Side  panel  is cut at 2" X 4" with Shades of Spring DSP #117160

The square :

Whisper white  cut at 2" x 2 1/4"

Barely banana card stock #102701

is cut at 2 1/4" X 2 1/2"

The Orchid Opulence butterfly I used the Beautiful Wings  embosslit  # 118138

Rhinestone brad ~ Circle ice# 109111 with Orchid Opulence

I will post a video on this card soon :) 

Thanks  for  taking time out of your busy day  to stop in  and visit  me today :)

Dawn's Sunday Share 2-14-2010

Hi Stampers :

 Happy Valentines day Sweets !!

 What a Valentines day it is too .  Some very exciting  news was announced on the SU! web site this past Tuesday ( 2-9-2010)  I would have shared sooner  But  thought I would share it  with you today for  my Sunday share  instead ..

SU! has announced  that  there  will be 24 SU! demonstrators  across the USA and Canada  that will get a Workshop of a Lifetime  with  the 1 and only Shelli Gardner

Guess what ?

 I am 1 of the 24  OH my goodness I was  called  personally  by my  SAM ( Service account Manager )  on Wednesday 2-3-2010  and was  told the Great news .   BUT  the only thing was  that I had  to keep it all under wraps until the  "official" announcement  was made on the SU! web site . Those 7 days  were like torture for  me .

Seriously  I  am not  very good  at keeping  surprises  to myself  even for Christmas  so this news  was  like torture ..  So needless  to say I think  I may have  even impressed myself  with keeping this under wraps  until Tuesday  morning when the "official "  announcement  was made.  

I am sooo excited  and  even more excited  that I can tell  you all. So many of my  fellow SU! demonstrator  friends seen the announcement  and  were calling me / emailing me / leaving   comments  to me  about this amazing  Workshop of a lifetime  with Shelli .

Thank you all for being so sweet .  I have been in contact with Shelli's personal assistant and we have  set the date  for her  to  come to Michigan in April  . PINCH ME  I must be  dreaming that Shelli is actually coming Here~ I still can't believe it !

Of course I will be sharing  lots of photos  with you  from this  amazing  event  when it takes place . I am sooo very  excited and looking  forward  to having Shelli here for 1 day!

Ok on top of all this excitement I have been planning Jessie's Graduation party  which will be held on June 19th .

Jessie and I have started  on her (4) display  boards of photos  oh my  goodness  talk about   thousands of memories  rushing  back . We are so very Blessed !  

Warning : If  you  Dare  to click to enlarge your  viewing  of this photo Beware  there are  a  few photos of me  back in the hay day  and you may not even recognize me Hee! Hee!

For my Sunday share I have this  amazing video  for you  from Britain's Got Talent  this  young boy ( Aidan 12 yrs old )  can sure dance  and even though I could never dance like that personally  this is exactly how I am feeling  this week . One  thing  that stands out  about Aidan is that  you  can sure tell he loves  to dance   and that's 1 thing we both have in  common cause I sure love to stamp.

 

 

 Here is another one from Tim Hawkins  called Poop Scoop Boogie  OH my  gosh  you  dog lovers  will get a chuckle  out of this one :) LOVE IT!!

Hi Stampers :

Here is a no layer card I made  using the  You & Moi stamp set  which you  can get for FREE during Sale-a-Bration.

  It is one of the  stamp sets  in the Big Idea book & catalog   but is also   listed on the last page of the Sale-a-bration mini.

Sale-a-Bration mini for FREE  you  will add the # 120207

 To purchase  this same stamp set from the Idea Book & catalog the item is this # 111716

Remember the item #'s in the  Sale-a-bration mini are  different from the big catalog item #'s   To add the  FREE sets  you  will need the item Numbers  in the Sale-a-Bration mini.

I used the following supplies  for my   card I will film a video on this card later  for you . But until then  I used 

Scallop oval punch#114889
