It's still Monday! :D

Did you miss me during the day today? :D I've been SUPER busy; the hostess appreciation luncheon is this week, and I'm so busy this week it's not funny. I'm doing my "to do" lists for the week, and starting to hyperventilate.... :D

Anyway. You're not here to hear my practice my deep breathing! :D This is a card I did for a sketch challenge about a month ago, and never posted, and don't even remember which blog the challenge was from! LOL!


Cardstock: Whisper White, Shimmery White, Brushed Silver, Pacific Point, Bashful Blue

Ink: Pacific Point

Stamp set: Many Merry Messages

Accessories: Big Shot, Top Note Die, Snowflake die, Petals-a-plenty texturz embossing folder, snowflake punch, dimensionals

It's a little different than I'd usually make, but the more I look at it, the more it grows on me. :D What do YOU think of it??

I can't BELIEVE it, but we've had over 25 THOUSAND hits on Lori's Stamping Spot since I started blogging! It's AMAZING! Next week, after I get the luncheon done, I will do a giveaway - and when I'm getting ready for the luncheon, I'll get the prize all together so all I'll have to do is mail it. :)

OK, I'm off. I've got bunches to go before I sleep!!! :) Have a WONDERFUL evening, and be SURE to take the time to STAMP something - I am, like CRAZY. :D

Frilly Friday! :)

OK, y'all, it's frilly AND fabulous. :D And it's Friday - one of my last free ones for a while! :D So I'm off. Be SURE and take the time to stamp SOMETHING - I'm already working on samples for next month's classes! :D

Same stamp set, different look! :D

Good afternoon, y'all!!! How are you today? I hope you're praying for those who've been devastated by our flooding here in Tennessee; if you're not in the area, the national news hasn't really said anything about it. It's AWFUL! So, if you get a chance, take a look at the Nashville news, and if you can help out in any way, PLEASE do!

So! On to today's share! I'm going to just tell you what's different from yesterday, versus retyping everything. :D I think you can figure it out pretty easily from the "ingredients" - but, as usual, if you have ANY questions, please don't hesitate to ask me!:)

OK, I'm off. :) Have a WONDERFUL day - and be SURE to take the time to STAMP something!

Happy Thursday!

This week is all messed up. Today feels like Wednesday - where did my lost day go?!?!

The Holy Family stamp set is just beautiful - and I enjoyed all three stamps in it! Remember, if you still want anything from the Holiday Mini, you have until bright and early January 4 to make sure you get it!!!

Also, did you know I can offer your family a gift certificate or gift card for either merchandise OR class fees? I'd love to help them out with their gift shopping - just have them call or email me!

OK, I'm off. Our dearest friends from Oregon are here for a week, and we're gonna enjoy every moment! Of course, I may have to drag Corrine into stampin' something with me - so YOU stamp, too! :D PLEASE let me know what you think of this card, and/or if I can be of ANY assistance to you!

Only 22 more days until Christmas! DECK THE HALLS - and REMEMBER THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!

Tuesday already?!?

Time is FLYING! So, straight to the show - I know you're busy, too! :D

Challenge for Late Night Stampers!

Good Monday morning! Did you have a good weekend? Are you ready for this week? Me, either. LOL! But GOD is good - so let's get to STAMPIN'!

The group Late Night Stampers does weekly challenges, among other things. Last week, the challenge was to use your favorite candy bar as inspiration for your project. Favorite? You gotta be KIDDING - my fave changes with my mood! :D But I do have a soft spot for TWIX - so that's what I chose.

Card stock: Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Real Red, Brushed Gold

Ink: Encore Gold, Chocolate Chip (inside)

Stamp sets: Christ is Born, Many Merry Messages (inside)

Accessories: Big Shot - I LOVE MY BIG SHOT!!!!!!!!!!! :D, Petals-a-Plenty Texturz embossing folder, ticket corner punch, dimensionals, gold embossing powder, embossing buddy, heat tool

This card goes together QUICKLY - the longest time involved is waiting for the heat tool to melt all the embossing powder! I LOVE the Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder; it's SO pretty! I've got lots of things to show you with it in the next few weeks - it's ONLY available in the Holiday Mini, so grab yours before the end of the year!

OK, I'm off - trying to get everything done in the next 36 hours, so I can go to Chattanooga with a certain hunk.... :D Have a wonderful day! Don't forget to take the time to STAMP SOMETHING!
