'Snowflake Soiree'.......such a beautiful set!

Good morning!
Here is another 'Snowflake Soiree' card using the new Illuminate Glimmer Watercolor Stampin' Pad.  This card is done with the technique called triple stamping- with 3 layers on top of each other & colored layers in between.  It is another one of my upcoming Stamp 'Til You Cramp projects.

 This is an easel card.......cool huh!!  Don't you like how it opens up!

WOW- I had a great time stamping with Alyce & Vicky & their friends yesterday.

It is so fun to share my love of stamping!
Is is great to see old customers & meet new ones too! 
I am sure they all learned some new things & had tons of fun doing it.

YIPEE!

Nathan had a great night of racing.

He won his heat!!  
And he got a very close 2nd in the main.
(Had we not had 3 cautions he would have won it!)
This qualifies him for an outside front row spot for tonight's race.
Hope he has good luck tonight as I think this will be last race of the 2012 racing season.

The boys had fun & were so good- all 3 of them!!

Brayden is a great big helper with the twins.

They all love each other- that is very obvious! 
So cute!
And they all like race cars too.

I'm off to stamp now.

I have TONS of stamping to do for my Stamp 'Til You Cramp projects.

I pray that I have good mojo.
I'll decide later if I'm going to go with everyone else to the races tonight or if I have to stay home to stamp.

Have a fabulous day!

Happy Stamping!

ENJOY!

SNOWFLAKES!!

Good morning!

Here is a very simple, but elegant snowflake card.  It is amazing to me how beautiful the new Illuminate Glimmer Watermark Stampin' Pad is.  I love the look of it when stamped here onto the Whisper White card stock.  I loved it too when I stamped it on the Midnight Muse too.  (See the snowflake card I posted on 10/15/12.)

They have several friends coming & I can't wait to share with all of them.

Then late this afternoon we are headed to Donnellson!

I hope that Nathan has good luck tonight.

We'll be there to cheer him on!!

Go #52!!

Hope you have a great day!

A beautiful ornament!!

Good morning!

Here is a beautiful ornament that I made.  It is one of my Stamp 'Til You Cramp projects that everyone attending will be making!  I've been cutting the pieces for it......oh my gosh- there are tons of them!! 

Nope no stamping.....on this project.  But it is all Stampin' UP! (R) products!  This ornament is similar to the one on the front of the Holiday Catalog.

cs:  Marina Mist, Whisper White 

Silver Glimmer paper (12x12)

supplies:  Big Shot, Holiday Ornaments framelits, Snow Flurry Bigz die, Faucet Buttons, Large Pearl, Whisper White Organdy ribbon, White Twine, 1 3/8"Circle punch, 2 1/2" Circle punch
To put it all together I used- Tombow glue, snail adhesive & a hot glue gun.

 I love the sparkle & the bling!

It has been a busy week with lots of stamping every spare minute I can find.

I'm gaining on creating projects for my upcoming Stamp 'Til You Cramp!

WOW- everyone attending will leave with TONS of ideas that I have to share with them!

I can't wait- but I still have LOTS MORE TO DO to get ready for this big annual event.

Thankfully I have one more week to cram in getting ready for this!

Last night I enjoyed a trip to Iowa City with my husband.

We delivered lots of stamps on the way up & back.

We got to visit a bit with a few friends along the delivery stops.

(THANKS Jenny T. for our Halloween chocolate treats you made for both of us!)

Then we did a little shopping for new shoes, belt & socks for Deke.

(He has to dress up for all of his meetings- which has been ALOT lately!)

And we went to Texas Road House for supper. 

(We don't eat out very often- so this was a treat!)

I have a big workshop tomorrow with Alyce & Vicki & their friends- can't wait!

They have lots of friends coming & I can't wait to meet them & share.
We are all EXCITED!!

AND then tomorrow night we will all be headed to Donnellson to the races!

Wishing Nathan tons of luck!

We'll be there to cheer him on. 

We have a box seat- so it shouldn't be too cold for us.

I know the Brayden & the twins are excited about getting to go too.

This might be our last race for the 2012 season.

Nathan plans to race next weekend too- but I can't go because I have my STYC.

 Ok- gotta run......

Have a great day!!

Happy Stamping!
ENJOY!

A snowflake scrapbook layout!

Good morning!

Here is a pretty 12x12 scrapbook page layout that everyone at Sharlene's Stampin' Party made.  It is a CASE (Copy and Share Everything) that someone at Founders shared on the table in our gathering room, with a few little changes.  I love it!!  Again- more snowflakes & glitter- how could it not be pretty!  I love Midnight Muse.....it goes with everything!  It is just so elegant.

Silver Glimmer 12x12 paper
Comfort Cafe Designer Paper
ink:  Cherry Cobbler & Midnight Muse
supplies:  Big Shot, Snowflake die, Cherry Cobbler Tulle, 2 1/2" Circle Punch, 2 3/8" Scallop Circle punch, 1 3/4"Scallop Circle punch, Itty Bitty Punch Pack (circle), dimensionals, glue dots,

Look at the Tulle with the Snowflake punched out in the middle of it.

So pretty with the Silver Glimmer Snowflakes made with the die.

Now to find time to scrapbook & get some pictures on my pages. 

I have been busy working on Stamp 'Til You Cramp projects every spare minute I have.
Registration closed yesterday for this & I have a nice sized group of stampers that are coming to spend their whole day stamping with me!
I can't wait to share......just have LOTS & LOTS to do before then.

Tonight I have a date with my hubby as he needs some things from Kohl's.
We have cash back from a few weeks ago when I had to replace my vaccum, so will get new shoes for him.
We are going to deliver stamp orders along the way- to & from, eat supper & then do a little shopping.
I'm not a shopper & neither is he- so it won't take us long. 
And I'll be back in my studio creating as soon as we get home.

Happy Stamping!
ENJOY!
