You know What... Wednesday's are just not good for me, ever!
If it can go wrong, happen, or just plain not work, it happens on Wednesdays.
Every time too, so I just decided to get up go to work come home go to bed...
It was a plan...now into the real world.
This swap reminded me of an even better plan, a file folder all decked out received from a good friend Lenore Whitehead.
I love Stampin Ups Motto (statement of the heart).
To love what we do.....
so I will do this on Wednesday's instead of going to bed, now that's a better plan.

More of my Favorites....& a Free class

This swap done by ...Hope I get this right
Lorna Raczynski
Definitely one of my Favs!
She took apart the twill tape to create the strings and used different sized brads for her spider...
TOO COOL!

I had a great stamp a stack only 2 came but still a lot of fun, it only took about and hour, yep an hour long SAS.
This got me to thinking this would make a great class for any and all.
So I'm going to put it together and give it to you FREE.
The even better part is they can be done cheaply (as long as you chose one style or already have the stamp sets).
Whether you are a creative person who is looking for a quick way to make cards for Christmas or a Demo who need a Class that's quick and great for your customers.
Nope I'm not going to put it on here (the blog) you have to ask for the PDF of
Pics, Lowdown, pricing of each card, 6 in all with a box,

Tribute Cont....

Melissa made this and about 19 or 20 more of this gorgeous wall art.
Me and several others earned this one of a kind piece because of some challenges we were encourage to do through the 2008-2009 Stampin Up year set up by Melissa and Faith Clark the other Demo who runs the Inky Angels and Inky Blessings group of over 200+ demo's.

Wait till you see Faith's tribute...have to ask her first.
She is just as amazing!!!! Very Chic (say this with the accent)
You know what just join with me and you'll get to see these two in action:)
She used the SU Long board chipboard to give you a better idea of how big it is.

My Up line Melissa Ellis is a phenomenal stamper!
She is really the only other stamper (there are a few others only hers are more) I have put and shown off her works on my blog.
Plus I'm being slack in my own stamping due to some unexpected Mommy duties.

This week is going to be all about her.
I'm pretty sure I have aloud enough time for her do to these with her customers...just in case they should happen upon this site. I don't want to ruin there surprises.
This is her card from a swap we were in together a few weeks back.
I think she used the baby wipe technique, not sure but she will let me know *NOPE it's the polished stone technique
and used the scallop square die for the card.
The new Autumn Meadows paper and Autumn Splendor set from the mini.
Wish you could see this in person the colors are very vibrant.

Guess what....

I got a little busy so this is super quick and still no video...but soon.
I was sent this card via e-mail from a friend, Thanks Luann.
I changed it from the original, it had more DSP, and Lilli said they look like penguin's more than snowmen.
Add a little more black and I guess they could.

Have a good weekend!

Mini Punch...

I've got to say I am impressed with this mini.
It is slam packed with some great stuff.
I wasn't so sure where SU was going with the catalog and how toned down it has become. But it all make since to me now with the Holiday mini release. With the main catalog and it's staple items they can just go wild with what they release with the minis and salebration.
If you haven't checked out the mini yet or would like a copy, let me know.
I'm here to help!
This card (quick and easy) uses the ornament punch from page25, I have already seen so many ways to use it, and I'm going to show you another way real soon.

The coolest things you find!

Well I'm still here that means I must of survived the first week....Barely!
I will file this one in the worst of them category's.
It all started last weekend with Lane being sick with lets say Flu like symptoms. I was so sad he was going to miss his first day of Middle school, but there was no way he was going if he did not clear up, well luckily he did and survived and made the football team. Probably feeling awful too.
Well that flu decided it wanted to hit the rest of us! UGH!
This Mommy tried as hard as she could to keep the immunity system fighting hard, clean hands and the wonderful works of Lysol, it still got me!
In the end Lilli missed two and I missed one day's of the first week.
Is it swine flu...
the Dr said without a test (didn't want us coming in to infect them...can't blame em) he couldn't tell me, but more than likely it is.
So that was the first week.
Now the video I wanted to do didn't get done, but that's OK I was able to stew on it a little longer and came up with another idea for it, so stay tuned. There might even be two.

This cool card is the product of a video I found by Donna Moore
Crimping and embossing ribbon, to cool.
Almost all ribbons can be done even with impression plates, to stinking cute!
So this week bring out the old White Rain and Aqua Net liquid hairspray and go to town on your ribbons.
SmUUUUches..oops sorry I'm well now! HE HE!

New and improved

My blog is going under a redo thanks to Michelle at Laycock Designs.
Stampin Up Has informed us of some changes to their IDA Independent Demonstrator Agreement...it's not so bad but as I wait on the Devine Michelle who is super talented and popular (busy) I will be updating and re adding the Blogs I love to my side bar , unfortunately if you directly sell another competing product I will have to keep you in my reader and still visit.
But, since I am still new to stamping I'm feeling another blog is in my future as I am loving all the new companies and products out there.
Now on to this blog and the exciting new changes....
Lots of Videos (Lilli's Video is up) and tutorials to come and a 3 day post week.
With having a full time job and sporty little ones, I'll keep my sanity Thanks.
When I can make this, Stamping and Stamping Up my full time job then you will have a hard time shutting me up.
That's my goal anyways.
Soon I will shut down the comments, Who needs them? I did at one time but found they are not necessary to me anymore and actually time consuming, I love my work and am going to love showing them to you.
I will still visit my favorites and comment too. But if you need to say or ask me something please email me.
