How About 2020….

Author: June 13, 2020 0 Comments

Hey All – I know long time no post. So much going on end of 2019 and let me just say before Covid-19 hit my 2020 started off with a Bang! Let’s start by saying slab leak? Ummm……yes then yet another leak I don’t even want to say how much it all cost.

I was in the process of starting up my classes and have an open house in March when everything hit. So I’ll be taking things into another direction. On-Line Classes and going to try a Virtual Open House. Hmmmmm….sounds fun and something interesting and from the comfort of your own home. It’s all about getting creative and crafty! I’m going to start up my YouTube videos again.

The NEW Catalog is here and it’s jam packed with LOTS of Goodies inside! If you don’t have a Demonstrator and would like a copy please let me know.

Will be sharing a few things that I’ve been working on. Looking forward to start blogging and sharing my creations again.

Please stay safe out there! Thanks for stopping by and Happy Stampin’!

Magical Day Card

Author: September 16, 2019 0 Comments

It’s been way to long since I shared any kind of of anything lately! To say it’s been crazy around this house is an understatement! But things are getting to be some what less hectic. If that’s even possible! LOL!

Wanted to share this Card I made for my Granddaughters 1st Birthday! She’s my little Mermaid! I used the Magical Day stamp set by Stampin’ Up! which is now retired. You could say this whole card is using retired product. BUT I LOVE these colors and I love Mermaids.

Looking forward to getting back into my stampin…it’s been way to long! Stay tuned as I’ll be sharing another Card that I made for my Grandson’s 3rd Birthday. Just a hint he LOVES Dino’s!

Thanks for stopping by til next time Happy Stampin’,

Happy Mother’s Day…

Author: May 12, 2019 0 Comments

First I want to wish all the Mom’s out there a Happy Mother’s day!
I know it’s been WAY to long! So much has been going on over the last year with work, family my kids and grandkids that I had to put things on hold. Not ALL the way on hold just a little bit! I’m still stampin’ and will be doing more things with that. Updating my videos for one!

But things will be changing as I get into the swing of things. Next month we start with the NEW Stampin’ Up! Catty! I’ve got to say WOW! Just WOW! Lot’s of changes but one thing that doesn’t change is ALL the awesome colors and stamp sets and accessories Stampin’ Up! has to offer!

So stay tuned….

Author: July 26, 2017 0 Comments

So I needed to make some 3 x 3 Note cards and was inspired by a card a saw on Pinterest by Tracy May – so these are what I came up with!

Love ALL the color combos and how extremely FAST these were to make! The Butterfly punch is retired but you can use the Butterflies Thinlits also.

I used the Work of Art, Swirly Bird and Thankful Thoughts stamp set all by Stampin’ Up!  Want to know how I made them please ask!

As always – Thanks for stopping by and…

Good  Morning and Happy Saturday! Welcome to Day #6 of Mermaid Week!

Today’s card was inspired by another Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator (Lisa LoPresti Curcio). She did a Beautiful Card using the New stamp set “Fabulous Flamino” from Stampin’ Up! When I saw her card it was just breath taking.  Don’t have that set “YET” so of course what came to mind???

Yes my current obsession “Magical Mermaid”!   So here is what I created!  I did get a little heavy handed with the Tango Tangerine BUT it was to late! I will be doing this one again!

I ended up LOVING the final results though!  There is something about it that just draws me in!

Magical Mermaid Card #4

Author: July 20, 2017 0 Comments

Well it’s officially still Thursday and so I’m here with Card #4 of Mermaid Week!

I was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest for this card. I haven’t done the “Sponging Technique” in AGES it seems.  So I’m pretty pleased with how this one came out.

Using Emerald Envy Ink and stamped the image in Calypso Coral.  How FUN is this card!  Of course I used the Magical Mermaid Set too!  I don’t know there is just something about this set that I just LOVE!  Well until tomorrow thanks for stopping by and as always….

Happy Stampin,
