Bluebird's Rock!

Good Saturday morning everyone! Aren't you just so glad it is Saturday? I sure am! Today we are having a Elementary Fun Day at our church and while we don't have a huge number of kids attending I think it will be fun...bounce house, water slide, games...yeah, it will be fun!

Each month we do a card swap at stamp club. This month we chose a get well theme. Easy enough, right? Well, I was having a hard time choosing Bluebird or Lots of Bots. Ultimately the cute Bluebird won out. I found this idea on Amy's blog and just had to make it for my stamp club members...isn't she cute? I used Brilliant Blue and Summer Sun card stock (Amy used Pacific Point and it looks fabo!). Lots of punches are needed for this blue bird and I'll list them at the end for ya. As with any project like this the thing that takes the most time is the prep...punching out all of those shapes...thank goodness for punches! It only took a minute or two to put them together though. Definitely worth my time don't you think?

I have signed up for two different secret sister swaps this summer and have started receiving and sending for both. I LOVE getting mail that isn't bills! I'll be sharing a card or two as I go along so that you can enjoy the swaps with me. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow? That and one or two of the swap cards from stamp club? Hmmm...sound like a plan to me! That means I better get them photographed (and I need to do my creative project from my photography class) so I'd better run!

Have a super Saturday!

Thnking of You

Happy Friday! We have plans for today and tomorrow so it will be a fun weekend.

Here is the other card from Stamp Club on Wednesday night. This card features the Level 3 Hostess set Kind and Caring Thoughts along with the new In Colors Melon Mambo and Crushed Curry. We also used Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper and Rich Razzleberry Polka Dot Ribbon. The unique fold and sentiment presentation makes this card a little extra special. I did see this layout someplace out on the internet but don't recall where so if it is yours please leave a comment so you get proper credit.

I guess I don't have much to say today so I'm off to spend the day with my hubby and son.

Have a wonderful Friday everyone!

Get Well Wishes

Good morning everyone! This week is flying right by for me. Today is my day to volunteer at Care Net and then tomorrow it will be Friday! Woot!

This is a card that I made for Stamp Club last night. It is super clean and easy but so cute...don't you agree? Sometimes that is something that you need...something that goes together quickly but is still cute. It was interesting last night as all of my lovely ladies were cutting out their whales at the same time. I wanted to say...scissors up...now cut! It was just too fun! Hopefully, they won't kill me for posting the picture and I'll be back tomorrow with another card! We had a funny conversation about how not funny it would be to get the whale card as a baby card (they were picking their sentiment) or Easter card or one other type of card. Just go with me on this one...it was funny!

I don't really think there is anything too difficult about this card that I need to explain it but if you have a question just leave me a comment with your e-mail address and I'll get right back to ya.

I hope you all have a super day! Now, go...do something fun for yourself and I'll see ya tomorrow!

Awesome Game!

Good morning all! Welcome to Wednesday! This week is going fast and I'm still not quite ready for stamp club tonight. Guess I need to kick it into gear, huh? LOL!

I made this card for a friend who is in my Bible study. Her son will be going to the baseball championship games in our area this weekend. I thought it would be fun to send the family a card. Well, deliver it as they leave on Thursday so not enough time to put it in the mail.

Anyway, this image is from Pink Cat Studio and is Sporty Billy. This particular image comes with the cute mouse catcher and the set has several sentiments for any sport. The fun patterned paper is from Best Creation Inc and I found it at Scrap Your Trip. I got lots of baseball and football papers from them...fun! The ribbon is from a ribbon share I was a participant in some time ago. I put some glaze on the helmet to make it fun. I really hope this brings a smile to their face!

Alright...I must run...I have to finish up my prep for tonight! Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Mix Up of Cuteness

Good morning stampers! Well, was the start of your week a good one? I'd have to say my Monday was good. Todd and I are working on getting restaurant reservations at WDW for while we are there. We have three places we'd like to go to but can only make reservations 90 days in advance. As of this morning we have two of the three reservations we'd like to have...yay!

One of the places we'll go at WDW is a place called Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate shop. Yah...we are eating a meal there...not! I do really want to go and have a snack there though. Ghirardelli is my favorite type of chocolate so it should be good!

I guess since Todd and I were talking about that yesterday that would be the reason why I have sweets on my mind, huh? Well, I just got the Unity Stamps set Mix-up of Cuteness from limeLIGHT yesterday so I pulled that up, inked up the sweets and away I went! I went with Basic Grey's Lemonade paper and buttons again, added lots of bling through the dots along with some shine by making the ribbon shiny and the bite out of the creamsicle looks shiny too. Now I just noticed that both the paper and buttons are out of stock at LLPC so just shoot Mandy an e-mail to find out when those will be available for you!

Now you know limeLIGHT has specials every week, right? This weeks specials are:

25% off Stampendous Clear Stamps and Stamp Sets
25% off October Afternoon Cherry Hill and Weather Vane Stamp Sets
25% off Crate Paper Lemongrass paper and accessories
And, ALL orders over $15 will receive a FREE package of Kaisercraft Pewter Pearls!!

You all remember that I'm trying to loose just a little bit of weight right? Well, apparently the fact that we are going to Disney World has given me a kick in the bootay as I am only 4.5 pound from my goal weight! Yay! I've also started Candice Stringham's Oh Shoot! class but have yet to do the first assignment as I need some action in my life...lol! I'll let you know as I go along how it is going.

Alright, enough chit chat. Have a super day everyone!

Love Bugs and Alphabet For Sale

Welcome to a new week everyone! While this morning is a cloudy day here in Central Washington I still am happy it is a new week and excited for the possibilities that it holds.

I have a clean and simple card for you today using a brand new Level 1 Stampin' Up! hostess set called Love Bug. This is such a cute set that I knew I had to have it. This card also uses the Movers and Shakers Curly Label die for the Big Shot. All you have to do is place the Curly Label die within the front card section of the die, run it through the Big Shot and taadaa...you have a card all set to go! Very simple and it takes no time all! Remember, you can go HERE to my demonstrator website to view all of those products I mentioned and feel free to e-mail me anytime with questions!

One other thing today. Some time ago I bought a Stampendous Pail filled with the wonderful alphabet letters that you see in this post. Each of the letters also has 2-3 little images included as well. I used the pail the other day but have never used the letters so I thought I'd offer them up to my blog readers at a special price. The letters retail for $2.99 each but I'm selling them for $35 for the set (the only way I'll sell them is in the entire set) which includes shipping. That makes them $1.35 each. Shipping within the United States only and payment via Paypal or money order only please. As a side note the ring that I have the letters on is NOT included. Just e-mail me if your interested.

Alright ladies...I'm off to get some other work done, then exercise, and into church for a little while. I hope you all have a fantastic Monday!

Friends

Good morning friends! Was your Saturday wonderful? I didn't really accomplish much but sometimes...that is okay!

So, did you guys see the Paper Makeup Stamps release for July? Not only did they have some super fun fairies released this month but they released some wonderful word art, too. The sentiment to the right is one of them. Oh, and they are all digital this month...kinda cool. SNRS had a fun challenge on Friday which was a sketch posted at 5 p.m. my time which had to be created and uploaded to their website by 6:15 p.m. The card you see is the one that I made and uploaded. Super simple but since I forgot until 5:45 that I was going to play in that challenge, it needed to be. The paper is from the Lemonade Basic Grey pad that I got from limeLIGHT as are the buttons and the ribbon is from SU! I think I told you guys that I have a friend that will be moving soon and I plan on giving her this card.

I'm making this a short one since Todd turned on the Tour de France. and I'd like to see today's finish. So, with that...have a wonderful Sunday. Take some time to relax and enjoy your family!
