Stamping 411

Life has been very stressful lately and I haven't been able to do any stamping but I needed to make a birthday card for one of our granddaughters so I thought I would play along with the Stamping 411 operators and follow their sketch. The image and sentiment are from a retired set from Stampin' Up! The colors I chose are Tangerine Tango and So Saffron.

Please keep my family in your prayers as both of my parents have heart disease now and my husband continues to battle cancer. I had hoped that becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator would bring in some extra income for my husband and I but it hasn't worked out. I may have to step down very soon as the orders just are not there. I truly love Stampin'Up! products as I know those of you who use them do. Although I may have to step down as a Demo I will continue to use the products and try to get in on all the great promos they have. I'll continue my blog and share when ever possible. Thanks to all of you who took an interest in my blog.

Little Boy B-Day Card

I totally cased this from Debbie Henderson. I'm not sure if she designed this or someone else. Anyway I changed the card design a bit but the car is the same. Isn't it cute? I'm sending this to my husbands Grand Nephew who is turning 3. I love punch designs. It was easy peasy. Thanks Debbie for showing this on your blog.

Another snow day and making cards!

Day two of not getting to work. When it comes to icy roads, I avoid them. We had 5+ inches fall on Sunday night into Monday and freezing rain late Monday afternoon and evening. So what better way to spend the day than "stamping". Here's a birthday card I made for Mom who will be 84 on the 14th of this month. It's a larger one made from a 8 1/2x 11 piece of Blushing Bride card stock folded in half. My Mom is losing her eyesight to Diabetes so a smaller card just wouldn't do. I used the 6x6 In Color DSP in Blushing Bride. The larger flowers were cut from the new Bigz Fun Flowers (love my bigshot), which is in the new Occasions Mini and the smaller ones were punched from the BoHo Blossoms punch. Of course I had to ad the Basic Pearls for adornment.

Forgot to ad that the bow was made using Lee Conrey's "Magic Bow Maker".

FYI

Just want to let you know that as of January 14th I will no longer have a Demo website with Stampin'Up. It's been close to a year now and I've not had any orders from it so decided not to waste my money any more by keeping it active. Should anyone want to place an order with me, it will have to be done through me personally. Of course you can still call me or email me. Thank you to those of you who take an interest in my blog.

Happy New Year

Wishing all of you great beginnings to a brand new year. I wonder, will it go by as fast as last year? Hope not. These next few months will be challenging for my husband and I so please keep us in your prayers. Now on to my card share. Two simple birthday cards. Hope you enjoy.

WHITE CHRISTMAS

This is what we woke up to this morning. Beautiful! It started early evening yesterday and snowed all night. I've lived in North Carolina for about 22 years and never has it snowed on Christmas. I love it.

I hope all had a wonderful Christmas. I had a great time with my family and so thankful I was able to have another Christmas with my Mom and Dad. My daughter-in-law was gracious enough to host the gathering. She's a real trooper, since she was feeling under the weather. Wow, almost another year has past. Where does time go? Hoping next year to be prosperous for everyone. Keep peeking in. I have some new stamps sets from the new Ocassions Mini to show you.

Wow! Has it been that long?

Okay, my life has been somewhat crazy but hope to get back to some kind of normalcy(is that a word?) I wanted to share just a few Christmas cards with you. I really haven't had much time for stamping but here you go. Oh and I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas.
