Please stand by...!
I'm SO sorry! After three great days of the tour, I wanted to be able to have stuff up and going - but my computer is NOT working. :( No scanner, no pictures, no NOTHING - I'm on Kenn's computer to let you know.
Those of you who pray, PLEASE do so - we so cannot afford this!!
Thanks, dear friends! I HOPE to be able to post soon!

BLOG TOUR - DAY TWO!
CLICK HERE or scroll down for DAY THREE samples!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WELCOME to my blog! I've been so excited about showing you some wonderful creations I've made with my feature set, THE MORE THE MERRIER. It's a level three hostess-only stamp set, which means you can only EARN this stamp set by hosting a party that has over $500 in sales. Contact your demonstrator - or, if you don't have one, ME! :D - for details!!! (You can view this stamp set on page 17 of your 2009/10 Idea Book & Catalog!)
I HAVE BLOG CANDY TO GIVE AWAY AT THE END OF THIS TOUR! All you have to do is leave a comment - and you may enter each day, so up to THREE entries per person! Be SURE and leave your email address so I may contact you. I'd really like to know what you think of each day's entries! The winner will receive SWEET LITTLE SENTIMENTS, a retired hostess-only stamp set, valued at $12.95!
Now, on with the show! I'm going to show you three samples each day: one card, one 6x6 scrapbook page, and one 3D project - and I'll probably have a few more to throw in as we go! :D IF you don't see something one day that floats your boat, come back the next day! :D Who knows what you might find??
Also, there are a LOT of samples on my blog. Please bookmark me, so you can come back when you have more time, and look around to your heart's content. :) My goal with my blog is to show you projects that YOU can do at home, not that you'll look at and say, "HOLY SMOKES! That's GORGEOUS!!!", and then not even attempt. :D I want you to know you can do it, and - if you don't like a color combo or a certain accessory, CHANGE IT! - and then DO it. :D
Please note: You can see any of the pictures larger by just clicking on them!! SCROLL DOWN FOR YESTERDAY'S BLOG TOUR POST!
If you have ANY questions, PLEASE don't hesitate to ask me! My contact information is in the sidebar; I'd LOVE to hear from you!
Now, ON WITH THE SHOW!
The Card
Card stocks: Melon Mambo, Basic Black, Whisper White, Bermuda Bay
Ink: Jet Black Stazon, Melon Mambo, White craft
Stamp set: THE MORE THE MERRIER!, Boho Backgrounds, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Accessories: IN COLOR Stampin' Write Markers, dimensionals, modern label punch, 1" circle punch, 1-1/4" circle punch, 1-3/8" circle punch, 1-3/4" circle punch, word window punch, scallop edge punch, white gel pen (frosting! :D)
Fun, isn't it! :) Make several of these up at one time, and give a card and a cupcake to your co-workers for their birthdays! :D
The 6x6 Scrapbook Page
For some reason, this set certainly lends itself to Halloween layouts! :D I had a lot of fun designing this one.
Card stock: Basic Black, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie TEXTURED
Ink: Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Versamark
Stamp set: THE MORE THE MERRIER, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Accessories: 1-3/8" circle punch, 1-3/4" circle punch, modern label punch, dimensionals, embossing buddy, Chocolate Chip and Garden Green Stampin' Write Markers, heat tool, black embossing powder, watercolor brush and bleach.
This was SUPER fun to do; the bleached areas actually came out almost perfectly matching the Crushed Curry!
The 3D Project
I'm showing you the same IDEA in two different celebrations here. :) The one on the left is a great birthday bag; the smaller picture is a Halloween bag. :) They're super simple; just cut your card stock 1/4" wider than your bag. Cut it twice as tall as you want the ffront to be PLUS 1/2"! Fold it so the 1/2" is in the middle, and cut out a section for the handles to go through.
I'll put the ingredients for the Halloween bag, WHERE IT DIFFERS, in parentheses. :)
Card stock: Melon Mambo, Basic Black, Whisper White (Soft Suede, Dusty Durango, Crushed Curry)
Ink: Jet Black Stazon (Versamark)
Stamp set: THE MORE THE MERRIER, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Accessories: Dimensionals, Modern Label Punch, Assorted IN COLOR Stampin' Write Markers (Word Window Punch, embossing buddy, heat tool, black embossing powder)
Can't you see a LOT of potential for this bag cover?? Oh, and do you see my "mock brads"? :D I just colored little circles with a Bermuda Bay Stampin' Write Marker! Easy, and I think it adds my all-important TEXTURE! :D
OK!! I'm off to do even MORE wonderful samples to show you! :) I hope you enjoy yourself today on the tour - and then, please take the time to STAMP something!! :)

BLOG TOUR - DAY THREE!
OK, so it's not like the other two posts - but it's still the same stamp set - and you can STILL enter to win on this entry!! :)
Yes, that's right. Today's are ALL about the SNOWMEN! :D If you've been around for a while, or taken a look at my blog, you'll notice that Christmas is my absolutely favorite time of year. I love to design Christmas projects!! :D Today's scrapbook page may look a little plain to you, but I think you'll see that a picture will be absolutely PERFECT on it!
The Card
Card stock: Shimmery White, Bermuda Bay
Ink: Jet Black Stazon, Bermuda Bay
Stamp sets: THE MORE THE MERRIER!, Christmas Punch (Level 2 Hostess-only set!!!)
Accessories: modern label punch, word window punch, assorted Stampin' Write Markers, dimensionals
I just LOVE this card! The Bermuda Bay is such a wonderful SUMMER color - but it works just as well for a cheery winter card, too! (And I LOVE snowmen, and snowflakes - this card just ROCKS. Wish you could see the sparkle IRL!!)
So, what do YOU think?? :)
The 6x6 Scrapbook Page
Card stock: Whisper White, Bashful Blue TEXTURED
Ink: Bashful Blue, White craft
Stamp sets: THE MORE THE MERRIER!, Simple Friendship
Accessories: Gel pen, assorted Stampin' Write Markers, embossing buddy, white embossing powder, heat tool
It's REALLY hard to see the swirls from SIMPLE FRIENDSHIP on the background, but they're there, I promise! :) To get the snowmen that kind of translucent white, I colored with a gel pen, then wiped it off with my finger. :D I wanted to outlines to show, but I didn't want all-Bashful Blue snowmen! :D Again, it may look a little plain, but once you put the friendship photo on it, it's going to be JUST enough.
The 3D Project
I LOVE this project - and my mom's commented on it a couple of times, which means it's made an impact! :D It's also possible to lay this flat, so you could store these - say, if you made them for centerpieces for a women's luncheon - or you could mail them as a gift!
Card stock: Bermuda Bay, vellum
Ink: Jet Black Stazon
Stamp set: THE MORE THE MERRIER!
Accessories: Assorted Stampin' Write Markers, 2-Way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds glitter, paper trimmer!
This votive square is 4"x4". It's easy to MAKE, but the coloring and the glittering take a bit of time to dry. :) It is SUPER-sparkly IRL; it's definitely going to catch the light! It's also big enough that you could use a REAL tealight or votive candle in it without much chance of it going up in flames. :D
I hope you've enjoyed this blog tour as much as I have!!!! It's always fun to challenge yourself, like making ONE stamp set your focus! :) I also hope you'll keep coming back; it's a fun ride from now until Christmas, and you won't want to miss anything!
My class schedule for the rest of the year will be up soon, so if you're local, I hope you'll come to some classes! And if you WANT this stamp set, contact me or your local demonstrator to book a party NOW!!! Don't wait; get your party on the books! If I AM your demonstrator, hold your party (at my house, honest!:D) by the middle of October and be invited to my hostess appreciation luncheon!!!!!
Now, scroll back up or down to go to the next blog. :D Have a wonderful time on the tour - and don't forget to bookmark me! :D

Using paper snips, snip UP from the bottom to the 1" line along the four score lines. Take the little corner where the 1/2" tab is off; fold, and stick everything together with Sticky Strip!

I can FINALLY announce my personal pick! :D
OK, so you all know Gina won the popular pick for best birthday card - and, again, CONGRATULATIONS, Gina! But I'd like to show you MY personal pick! :D
Congratulations, Tory! :)
Tory received her prize from me today - I've been waiting until she got it. She received, ordered and delivered directly from Stampin' Up!, a new MEDALLION BACKGROUND STAMP! She told me she'd seen it recently, and it was moving up her "Wish List" - so I marked it off for her. :D
She just got home from work and opened it a little bit ago, and here's what she said:
Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Lori! I was expecting something along the line of deminsionals or a blender pen or MAYBE a single stamp (you know like Dasher or somesuch) But, WOW! It's even grander IRL than I imagined! I can't wait to try this baby out. I've seen this used on several different blogs and it had creeped further up my wish list. Thank you so much! Wow! Thank you! You really shouldn't have. I'm already dreaming up ways to try this out. This is too cool! I love it! Thanks so much!
:D I like making people happy - and my Annual Birthday Card Contest is the BIG contest I run. :) So, start thinking about YOUR entry for next year! :D Have fun, Tory!!!

Good afternoon! :) How are you today??? It's another beautiful day here in middle Tennessee; the temperature in the middle of the afternoon is only 82°!!! It;s AMAZING - and I'm so grateful! :)
Anyway. These two cards today are from Tuesday evening's ADVANCED TECHNIQUES class; we had a great time, and again the cards focus on using basic supplies. ALL TECHNIQUES ARE FROM TECHNIQUE JUNKIES! Go HERE to learn more - and tell Pat I sent you! :)

Inks: White craft, Summer Sun, Old Olive
Stamp set: A Beautiful Thing

Ink: Chocolate Chip
Stamp set: Dasher, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Accessories: Assorted Stampin' Write Markers, black fine point Sharpie, modern label punch, ruler

CHRISTMAS IN JULY!
I was saddened that a lot of my Christmas lovers couldn't come to class on Saturday; we had a GREAT time! It was nice and COOL, too, so all the windows were open; we listened to Christmas music, sang along, and just enjoyed things. :D
I think you're going to like the projects, too; no SPECIFIC instructions, although I might make the basket for a video tutorial. I know I still owe y'all one on the purses, too. It's just DOING it, and finding the time when it's QUIET around here, has been difficult lately. :D
OK. On with the show! Don't forget! Sunday starts the next BLOG TOUR! Check out the side bar for details - and I WILL have blog candy!!!

This box is the perfect size to hold some trial-size hand creams, maybe some chocolate - you'll be surprised! :D It's double-sided, so it looks like a coke bottle carrier. If you REMEMBER those.... :D
Last project!!!!

Inks: White craft, Ruby Red, Night of Navy
Stamp set: Level 2 hostess-only stamp set, CHRISTMAS PUNCH

Thank you, Tory! :D
Thank you, Tory! :D
If I hurry....
I can publish this and say it's still morning! LOL!
Thank you SO much, those of you who said a prayer for me. There's lots going on IRL, and (to add to it!!!) yesterday morning I fell. In what could have been a very serious accident, God protected me! I've got some scrapes and sore muscles, but not nearly as bad as I thought I'd be the day AFTER. God is GOOD!
But to get on to what you're here for: the card. :D
I told you I'd be showing you more from the Medallion background stamp, so here's another. :D We made this Tuesday at my workshop; I just LOVE it!!
Card stocks: Crushed Curry, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip (but we used Soft Suede for Tuesday's!); More Mustard on the inside
Ink: More Mustard, Chocolate Chip
Stamp sets: Medallion background stamp, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Define Your Life inside
Accessories: white gel pen, Pretties Kit, Word Window Punch, Modern Label Punch, dimensionals, ticket corner punch inside
Isn't it CLASSY???? Single layer, so very simple - yet I think it's STUNNING. :)
OK! Lots to do today, including getting ready for the big blog tour coming up!!! I hope you have a FANTASTIC day - and please, make sure it includes taking the time to STAMP something!!! :)

Holey Schmoley, WHAT A WEEKEND!!!
For those of you who didn't know, not only did I have the NEW IDEA BOOK & OPEN HOUSE on Thursday, but my sister and BIL came in that day, too. They left on Sunday, and between 10:00 a.m. Sunday morning and 2:30 Monday afternoon, Kenn and I drove OVER 300 MILES!!!!!!!! I'm sooooooo tired!!! The windows in the house are being replaced, too, so no rest for the wicke - er, ummm, WEARY. ;D
ANYWAY. Here we go with THREE samples, since I didn't get a chance to post yesterday!
New stamp set, new colors - what more could one ask for?!?! :D

Inks: New IN COLOR Stampin' Write Markers in the following new IN COLORS: Dusty Durango, Crushed Curry, Soft Suede

SO easy! I LOVE the new IN COLOR markers - they make stamping with any of the colors SO EASY, and they're SOOOOOOOO portable!!!! If I were making my list, I'd be sure to put down a package of the new IN COLOR assorted card stock, and the new MARKERS, too! (CLICK HERE, then click on ORDER NOW! :D)
It's only 171 days until Christmas, and we ALL know they're going to FLY by!!!!! Never too early to start thinking about what your cards will look like this year - unless you're coming to my card classes this fall. Then you can let ME do all the planning for you! :D
Card stocks: Very Vanilla, Ruby Red, Garden Green

Don't forget that, as a hostess, you could not only earn free stuff, but also get an invitation to my Hostess ONLY Appreciation Luncheon in October!!!!! I've already decided on the dessert to make. :D You WON'T want to miss it! Call me or email me TODAY to get on my calendar!!!! Oh, and take the time to STAMP SOMETHING, too! :D
