World Card Making Day

OCTOBER 6th!!!!

Get ready to celebrate with me and every other cardmaker on World Card Making Day!!!

http://www.worldcardmakingday.com/

Take a look at the cards I have posted in the gallery... did you find them??

I can't wait to stamp the day away!

Tag: You're It!

This is my first time being tagged. Charmaine is my long lost stamping friend from the old Divas stamping group... she found me out in blogland!!! She is a total sweetheart with bubbly excitement - and Girl, she can STAMP!!!

Okay now... I need to post seven little known facts about me. Hmmm, that's tough, let's see...
1. I married my highschool sweetheart while on a mission trip to Panama!
2. I accidently vacationed for 7 hours in Fiji.
3. No furry pets at our house... we have an 80 pound African Silcada tortoise named Tank.
4. I detest ironing... in fact I had a job that lasted 2 visits assisting an Indian woman... but I was fired when I burned her husband's silk shirt.
5. I do not have cable television (which is why I have time to stamp).
6. I was on tv when I was in 6th grade - on TBN's One Way game show featuring Bible memory.
7. I use to eat peanutbutter on my hotdogs, but now I'm much more civilized and eat it on my pancakes.

There you have it. Email me and let me know how many of my seven items were 'new news' to you!

Now then... I am going to tag my two favorite people in the world:

Stampingly Yours & His,
Shauna!

Freedom Thanks

Thank you - all of you - who serve our country - who wear the uniform of freedom - who live and die under the colors of our flag.
These cards are on their way to Iraq for soldiers to use to write home. I pray for each soldier who uses them to communicate with loved ones... and I pray for the loved ones who are home waiting to hear from their soldier.
Happy 4th of July.

Cherished Wrap

Cherished Wrap - as in wrapping paper - ideal when you don't have the appropriate wrapping paper . I had a bit left over from last Christmas... and I'm so glad! I wanted the gift to match the card I made her (shown in a previous post). I'm loving this new set from Stampin' Up!

SU! has done it again!

It's HERE!!!! I'm tickled and thrilled to find that SU! has done it again! Every year I wonder the same thing... how could they make this catalog better than the last? And every year they DO!!!! I can't wait to share it with you!!!!!

Snappy Birthday

This little lady is from the summer mini catalog - Crab & Company. It was a 'he' lookin' crab... but a few eyelashes and some makeup made 'her' look adorable!
So if you have some birthdays to celebrate... he or she... this fun lovin' crab can help you celebrate - in a snap!

Howdy Baby Jacob!

Baby Jacob was adopted into a horse-lovin' family... so this little cowpoke will look great in his stable (I mean bedroom)!

Decorating tins is easy and fun! Your best adhesive for gravity defying projects is sticky strip. Glue dots and dimensionals work well for adding additional elements to a tin - like the ribbon and twine for a lasso.

There are so many great ways to use these once some paper has been glued on. This tin is holding 8 photo dividers for the first year until Mommy has time to scrapbook them (which amazingly I think she is caught up so far!!!)... and it also holds a plaid shirt and denim shorts.

Can you think of ten more uses for a personalized tin?

Beautiful Baroque

I loooove being a demonstrator and PRE-ORDERING goodies!!!!

SU! was awesome and gave us all an extra discount on the stamps in the preview catalog... so of course I ordered them all! Now they are all cut out and happily asking me to play with them! No problem!!!

My backdrop is the new Brocade designer series paper... double sided for double pleasure. The card is stamped on shimmery white cardstock with the new Baroque Motifs set in Gold Encore metallic ink and the new in-color Purely Pomegranate. Add some Pomegranate Palette O'Prints paper, wine organdy ribbon, and vintage brads for finishing touches.

Father's Day Folds

I love folding clothes... when they are made out of our new palette o'prints paper!!! In fact, I seem to have turned all the household chores into stamping techniques. The iron is for wax resist, the mopping cleaner adds shine to my projects, bleach works great on dark cardstock, the oven is for polyshrink, and the blender is for handmade paper! lol

I had fun uisng the old in-color Vintage Violet and the new in-colors Soft Sky and Pomegranate!! Don't they look nice and crisp together? If you live nearby, come on over Thursday night and we'll make this card together.

I had not posted in awhile... technical difficulties. But as they say, there is more than one way to skin a cat (is that the right saying... why would you want to do that?). I can't connect my camera to my computer, the scanner and computer aren't talking, the computer won't read the USB memory stick where my photos are stored as I could only download to the computer without internet access... urgh! So... that new little camera on the computer will have to take my card photos for now! I feel like a 'MacGyveress' having figured that one out!

All Year Cheer II, Circle of Friendship, Vintage Brads,Violet Stitched Ribbon - all items by SU!

Spell That?

Thunderclap - did I hear you right? Could you please spell that??? OooooooooooK!

My brother and his wife are adopting a baby - THIS WEEK. However, they will not reveal the name they have selected, if they even have one chosen yet! So my sillyhead bro began referring to the baby as Thunderclap Neuman!

This card coordinates with a blanket my friend made (don't you love doing that?) for the baby shower. I think this is the happiest color on earth - this Cool Carribbean. But to put it next to Chocolate Chip makes it even yummmmmier.

Charlie has some adorable baby goodies at sweetbabytot.com that you will want to check out!!! I never did learn how to sew... took a class but my mom finished all my projects for me - usually at a very unreasonable hour. Yeah Mom!
