My next favorite card....

Good Tuesday Morning! I hope you're having a great week! :) Lines, costumes, and lines are on MY mind this week. Phew. :D I can't wait to do the show, tho - it's VERY demanding physically, and I've got a pretty big part. Come see me as the evil stepmother! :D I perform this weekend; next weekend, the part will be done by the incredible Paula Fox. Tickets are available - you can call the church at 615.444.0776 for information - for Thursdays ($9, show only), Fridays ($20, dinner and show), Saturdays and Sundays ($12, dessert and show). I would SOOOOOOOO love to see you there! :D

OK. Here's the card!



Isn't it fun? :D

SUPER easy! And I think it's pretty cute. :D

OK, I'm outta here. Final dress rehearsal is tonight! EEP! :D

Have a WONDERFUL day - and be SURE to make the time to STAMP something!!

Here I am!

Wow, where has October gone?!?! The Hostess Appreciation Luncheon is a week from Saturday! (If you think you should have gotten an invitation and HAVE NOT, please let me know!)

We've been on the road - with Kenn's birthday last week, teaching, and being gone until last night, I don't know what I'm doing or where I am.... :D It's time to teach again tomorrow!

Anyway. :D Here's today's sample; it's #4 of 5, I THINK, of the colorblock cards.

Isn't this a FUN card?!?! I really like it - and SO simple!

The colors are Tempting Turquoise,Whisper White, Marina Mist, Bashful Blue, Pacific Point,and Pool Party. The medallion is made with the Tiny Teacup stamp; I just love that stamp. It's really versatile, and so fun! That's the 1-3/8" circle punch,and the scallop circle punch for the medallion. Ta da! :D

OK, I'm off. I have to work on the luncheon plans, and write a sample speech to show my class how to do what I'm looking for! :D Have a WONDERFUL day, and be sure to take the time to stamp something!

The last Monday of September 2011!

Where has this year gone? Is it just me, or has time flown? So many activities this year, so much gone past so quickly. And now, we're on the downhill run to CHRISTMAS! :D

Anyway. :D Here's another card from the last Quick Card Class; the Holiday Quick Card Class is coming up soon! Let me know if you want to come!

Card stock: Very Vanilla, Pumpkin Pie

Ink: Pumpkin Pie

Stamp sets: Four Frames, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Word Play and Tiny Teacup (inside - see below!)

Accessories: Take a Sip Stampin' Around Standard Wheel, designer label punch, Pumpkin Pie 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, dimensionals, Snail

It's really cute IRL. :) Just a cheery, love ya kinda card. :) Change the colors, and you change the whole feel of the card! Add some color to ONE of the cups; add a knot of ribbon, punch out the saying and pop it off the frame - you've got LOTS of options! Here's what we did on the inside:


Again, change up anything on the inside, and change the feel! :)

OK, I'm outta here. Have a WONDERFUL day - and be sure to take the time to STAMP something!

Wow! Where is this week GOING???

Can you believe it's Thursday already? Tomorrow's school again. Time is FLYING by - next week marks the end of September! And I just got out my personal fall decorations; the downstairs has been done for over a month, because of Mom and Dad's trip. Soon, it will start turning into our Christmas wonderland. I can't WAIT! :D

OK. Back to reality. :D This is the gift I made for my new hostess last weekend, using Lisa Somerville's template on Splitcoast Stampers. (Lisa is INCREDIBLY talented; she used to be a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, and you will be amazed if you go look at her blog or gallery!)

I LOVE this teacup stamp! I didn't ink the "hello" at the bottom - and it doesn't look that crooked IRL. :D It's TINY TEACUP, a single stamp. Very versatile, a great size, and I love polka dots. :D

Let's see. I used Tempting Turquoise, Lucky Limeade, and Daffodil Delight ink, Whisper White and Real Red card stock, and the ticket corner punch. Add a little Real Red grosgrain ribbon with a glue dot, and voila!

OK. I'm outta here. The studio is a MESS, and I have a class on Saturday - it's 3D Mania!!!!!!! :D Have a wonderful day, and be SURE to take the time to STAMP something!

Another simple workshop card!

Happy TUESDAY! Today's the first day of my Tuesday Bible study, so I won't be available from 9:00 a.m. - noon Tuesdays. When I'm HOME, that is. :D

OK! Today I'm showing you the second card we did at last August's workshop! I really like this one - the color is a BIT off, and I cannot figure out why. But, there ya go. :)

It's a HAPPY card! :)

Ink: Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip Craft

Stamp set: Tiny Teacup, Sincere Salutations (inside)

The Pink Pirouette card stock is cut at 5"x8.25", and it is the part that opens. Inside, we stamped and embossed the "Thinking of you" stamp from Sincere Salutations.

OK, I'm outta here - lots to do, need to finish packing, etc., etc! :D Today is our 14th anniversary; if you happen to read this, Bear, I LOVE YOU. I can't wait to see you again this weekend! BE SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
