Hi Stampers :
Happy Sunday Friends !
I am back home and WOW what a fabulous Cruise I will share photos with you this upcoming week .
Sooo much fun meeting with so many of my SU! demonstrator friends and the best part Hubby was able to go this time ..
( Last year he was in Iraq still so Jessie and I just went )
That was seriously the best part of this Alaska cruise was that we were all able to go together !
The photo above is when we went to see the icebergs on our way to Juneau AK. sooo Beautiful !
Here is another photo closer to the iceberg.
Every port we of course had to hit the Harley shops and pick up some harley shirts :)
We did see 1 whale at dinner which jumped out of the water BUT of course we didn't get a picture :( Boo Hoo .
I will share more photo of what Jessie got from her camera .
We did see this Bald Eagle which was sooo beautifulin Ketchikan AK.
We got home Friday evening then Saturday we attened Sam & Michael's wedding and then Jessie's Boyfriend Tyler ( photo below) came over and is staying with us until Tuesday,
So needless to say even though we are home from Alaska we have had a very busy weekend . I have also been working on all your Thank you notes. Thank you for your patience.
For my Sunday Share today I have another sweet doggie video for you . OH my goodness I laughed so hard at this video .It really looks like he is talking and screaming ..LOL
I hope it makes you laugh today like it did me .
Have a Wonderful Sunday friends !
Until later .. Happy Stampin!

Hi Stampers :
Happy Friday Friends !
Oh my goodness I love this Fathers Day card sooo much.
Love the Black card stock and Crumb Cake card stock together.
I used the Versa Mark ink pad #102283 and the Black embossing powder #109133 to make the top greeting and the ties pop even more .
I used the Versa mark ink pad with Clear embossing powder # 109130 for the bottom greeting
The images are from the stamp set called
Best Dad Ever
I will get a video filmed on this card soon ~ since the photo doesn't show what the whole card looks like when totally closed . But the Crumb Cake card stock is cut smaller than the Black and fits inside ..
Sorry I can't decribe it better .
I also used the Crumb Cake 1/2 " Seam Binding ribbon # 122332.
Used the Photo corners punch #119878 and then added 2 black brads from the Neutrals brad pack # 119736
Thanks for peeking in today !
Have a Fabulous Friday friends !

Hi Stampers :
Happy Wednesday Friends !
Todays card was inspired from the Idea Book and Catalog on page 9 But of course I had to change it up .
I used the brand new Postage Stamp punch #122344
with the In Color designer paper pack #117158 in Pear Pizzazz
I layered that on the 1 3/8" Square punch #119877 in Certainly Celery card stock # 105125
I also used the Blossom Bouquet triple layer punch #122464 with Early Espresso card stock #119868 & Certainly Celery card stock .
The tiny flowers I used the Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack #118309
Basic Pearls # 119247 were also added .
The Stamp set I used for the greeting is called Bold Blossom
Which is in the Summer Mini HERE .
Then punched that out with the Decorative Label punch # 120907
I used the 1/2" Stitched Poly ribbon in Pear Pizzazz# 119265
and layered the Certainly Celery 3/8" Taffeta ribbon # 119963 on top of that . Then added Linen Thread around both strips of ribbon.
Hey Guess what??
I am excited to report I have my computer back and I have my videos ready to be posted tomorrow & Friday . YAHOO!
Thank you all for being so patient with me while my computer was being worked on . I am so happy to have it back .
Tomorrows ( Thursday) video will be on my Thank You notes for May which I know is a little late But better late then never right .
I have heard from so many of you and my heart has been touched beyond words . I have seriously had tears rolling from so many emails missing my videos and sharing your concern on if I was ok .. I am doing just fine but without my main computer My hands were tied from posting videos .
So as of tomorrow I will be back on schedule .
Also after getting my computer back I seen my blog was not showing up correctly like I have heard from some of you asking what was happening with my blog looking weird
I thought I would let you know what I did in hopes to help you get the proper viewing of my blog .
I installed Adobe Flash player HERE on my computer and also updated the firefox plug ins HERE .
The funny thing was that I was also not even able to view my You tube videos over on my You tube channel HERE everything else showed up just not my videos But after I did both of these updates everything is back to the way it is suppose to be .
Both of these updates are FREE and will make viewing much better .
Dawns side note : Once you update It will take a few mins or more to actually kick in and reset your viewing. You should restart your computer after doing the upgrades .
I really hope this helps you .
Have a Wonderful Wednesday friends
Until later ... Happy Stampin!
