A nice fall card

2008-10-10T13:24:00.002-04:00

This card was made @ Joan's last stamp camp. It is a great fall card. And on a beautiful Michigan fall afternoon I thought it was a great day to post it.
It was made with alot of the Big Shot dies that SU now has. Alot of sponging of colors, which always makes messy fingers.

Back From a Family Vacation

2008-07-26T17:37:00.002-04:00

We ventured to the east coast to see all the historical sites at Jamestown, Williamsburg, Mt. Vernon and all the at D.C. has to offer. We didn't get to see all that we wanted in D.C. so we will return in a cooler part of the the year. It sure is deathly hot this time of year out there. But we had a memoriable time.

Know that we are back and unpacked I can get back to some projects.

Here are a few good cards ...but if you want the stamps contact me because many of these cards have retiring set used to make them.

More of the '"JOAN"

2008-07-15T08:54:00.003-04:00

Here are samples from my time with Joan. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy making them with her. She is an amazing woman and stamper.

These are both made with the NEW In-Colors!! I love them! My preorder should be here today and I am eager to start planning a new year of projects, camps and classes.

Boy, it's been a long time

2008-07-02T11:07:00.004-04:00

I am sorry for the lack of updating.

I had a stamp camp on Monday and had a great time with the 1 person that came. Hey, it's summer!

I really want to start a new direction for what I do with Stampin Up. So watch for some classes in the mail and other projects that you can purchase and do at home. I am working on a few kits as well.. Kits that are something that you can do for craft projects with your children for gifts for relatives or friends ...or for a VBS or youth group project.

Check back...after 4th

I'm back but busy

2008-06-13T12:26:00.004-04:00

Here is the outside envelope for my card kits. ENJOY!

This is Joan Misner's datebook. It is 18month long and it is BEAUTIFUL!! Since SU doesn't have one for us any longer she made one. She is having it bond and then she'll use it for all her dates. I bet if you go to convention she may have it to show you.

Sorry for not being up to date on my blog. But I can't even find my stamp room!! It is in there somewhere!! I have been in the midst of a big mess out our house and it is getting nearly under control. I hope to get new samples up and designed next week. I have to get through this last busy/active weekend.

2008-05-29T16:10:00.002-04:00

I thought this was a cute card using the simple look of dots and cutting. Joan designed this one and I just had to make it.

Sorry I haven't been up on the updating and my own creations but I have been purging my house for a yard sale next weekend...then comes the packing. We are selling and hopefully building this summer/fall. I am selling a TON of my scrapbooking and stamping stock that I don't seem to use. I tend to do more collecting these days then scrapbooking.

As soon as I get this sale over with I am going to hit the classes and workshops hard.

Leave some comments...I want to give away stuff but I need to know people are here.

Other Fabulous samples from Joan's home

2008-05-19T18:37:00.002-04:00

Here are a few great ideas...

Scallop Notes....AWESOME!!!

2008-05-16T14:53:00.004-04:00

Joan made these AWESOME cards. The pictures don't really show the detail but they are spectacular! Look at all the gem brads she used.

Sweet Soft Card

2008-05-10T09:57:00.000-04:00

Mother's Day Card...

2008-05-09T16:13:00.002-04:00

Here is another card...I love making cards at Joan's. I wish she were my neighbor so I could stamp all the time.

Pretty card

2008-05-08T10:05:00.002-04:00

I made this at Joan's house. She had it done in Sky blue that is even more beautiful. Not a hard card to make but details. Lots of dimensionals!!

Tart & Tangy

2008-05-05T18:07:00.002-04:00

here are some samples from my day Joan's. We had fun yaking and stamping. She has such awesome ideas and extremely motivating. The seeds on the apples are done with cystal effects and a little black reinker (stazon). It really added to the card. Don't you just love the leaves!!!

Candy wrappers

2008-05-02T21:20:00.002-04:00

I made these for a swap. I loved this paper!! They are Hershey bar sliders I made these for just people. They are suckers in the base. Everyone loved them. Some said Happy Valentine's day and others For You. We will make them for our Mother/daughther event's favors next year.

Can't "flip" the baby

2008-05-01T11:56:00.002-04:00

I made these cards in packs of 4 cards/5 envies for the craftshow. I didn't sell any...but then again there wasn't many people to sell to. I don't know how to flip the photo and I am sorry you have to cock your head to see the cards.

I am heading up to Joan's again... to be motivated and inspired.
Keep watch for some new and awesome designs.

Here are some samples...ENJOY

2008-04-21T14:36:00.005-04:00

These two cards styles I sold 4 cards/5 envies for $3. No layering just a bit of ribbon. They sold the most...because of the show being in Holland Mi everyone is all about tulips:)

These calanders were made out of coasters. You noticed the retired papers?!?! Craftshows are a great resource to use your retired stuff and make some profits.

This was cased from Joan Misner. Loved the card!!

Thought of this one ....just tried to have tulips available.

These are the mini comp books. I made items in 4 different color tones. I thought it would make the display look less of a mixed bunch of stuff...so it would be inviting to the passerby. I did get alot of compliments from other vendors on the professional look of the booth. Sorry, no booth photo. I forgot my camera...it was a busy day to get everything together and the camera wasn't on the list.

I added magnets to the back of this one for work/frig. I needed one for work so this project was a NEED!

I hope you all enjoy my samples. Leave some comments:) Always love to read what people think

JOAN MISNER..SU hidden treasure

2008-04-21T08:40:00.002-04:00

I want to give a shout out to an amazing stamper...

JOAN MISNER

If any of you are lucky enough to attend her stamp camps you know what I am talking about.
This is a woman who truly LOVES SU!! She is extremely humble about her work and talents but I want the blog world to know how special she is. She doesn't have a blog and it's rare to see her post her work, but I hope one day she will share with the rest of you all the wonderful things she designs. Her excitement for the products is contagious and she is a fantastic motivator. After spending a few hours with her last week I came home with tons of ideas and an excitement to work my business.

Thank you Joan!!
** I will post some of her designs when I get home later

Carft Show OVER!

2008-04-21T08:34:00.002-04:00

The craftshow is over and I have alot left. The organizers didn't really do a good job on their part but I had fun and met alot of really nice people and vendors.
Thank you for being patient while I was super busy. When I get home from work later I will post my samples. My biggest seller (if you can even say I had one:) was my simple tulip notecards and the tictac holders. But when you only saw maybe 150 people...I can't really give it a WOW item for the day.

Check back later and I am also going to give something good away

Getting ready for a craft show

2008-04-07T08:34:00.002-04:00

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days but I am super duper busy with projects for a craftshow I have on the 19th. I am very very excited to have one with my stampin up business. I have done shows for years but with wood crafts and paintings. Now I am going to try the SU stuff. I will post photos later in the week of the stuff I have done. I know it is a subject that many people want to know more of.

I can tell you one thing...I have to have to work alot harder to get alot more product for my table. I had it all out the other night and my husband said it all looked cute but I needed 4X that amount. So I am going to be super busy cranking out stuff from sun up to sun down....

Come back by around thursday and I will have some new stuff to show you

My Easter dinner place cards

2008-03-28T17:48:00.003-04:00

I made these for easter family dinner. Each person's name was on the tag and the carrot was filled with jolly rancher jellybeans that were AWESOME!!! I am not a jellybean eater and I loved these.

I got the pattern for the carrots off SCS and shrunk it on the copier to the size I thought would be good for a place setting. Just thought I would share.

I am busy busy busy with making things for a craftshow I am in April 19 in Holland MI. I am a bit excited. I have done shows for years and I love the atmosphere of the day.

DESPERATELY looking for HOPE

2008-03-24T11:36:00.002-04:00

I am in dire need of the retired stampin up set....HOPE. The set had a stamp that looks like the breast cancer ribbon. I am not looking for the heart shaped ribbon set.. HOPE IS.

My sister who is in remisson is wanting me to make some Thank you's for a cancer group she attends each monday.

Thank you for helping this cause

My baby card

2008-03-22T13:02:00.003-04:00

These are an example of the swaps I have made for the Holland convention. There is a package of cappuccino inside each one. I enjoy making gift type swaps....because I enjoy getting them. We have been snowed in for the weekend and today I kept our son home because it was just to cold to have him out on the roads when all the districts around us have closed. So I am going to go stamp all day and let him watch movies.

Thanks for checking in ...

Sorry for not posting

2008-02-05T09:47:00.000-05:00

I wanted to post daily like some of the blogs that I admire. But reality set in.
I hope to post atleast 3 times a week...when I work. But when I am home...it should
be daily.
See you in a few days

Welcome Little One

2008-01-31T12:43:00.000-05:00

Another storm in heading this way for tonight so the kids are hoping for another snowday. I love having them home and staying in our pj's all day...but I don't get to stamping because my daughter has been being creative and there isn't room for 2.

I pulled this out of the box.
LOVE IT!!! Another Joan Misner's stamp camp ideas
ENJOY

BBBRRRRR Snowday

2008-01-30T14:27:00.001-05:00

Sorry for a late entry. My daughter and son are home from school due to the weather. And my daughter has been on the computer all morning. I just bumped her off so I could upload a project.

This is an example of a prayer book I made for each of my ladies in our small group. I found it was very helpful to pray for needs of others and then right in when and how the need was answered.

Keeping warm on this blizzard-cold of a day...

Zoo Day

2008-01-29T12:44:00.000-05:00

I pulled this one out of my stash. I made it at an event and love the elements. I could have done a better job coloring it.. especially after reading how to be a great color-er on Tricia blog.

This was made with the In Colors..river rock, bayou and wasabi and a piece of white.

I am heading back to the stamping hole to come out with some new designs.

Sorry I haven't posted my emergency kit cards but Jackie wasn't at church and I am not heading toward Zeeland anytime soon. But I will post them.

I love to hear some comments on the blog. I see my counter go up but being the people person I am I want to know "who".

Have a blessed day

My Trades For Holland Convention

2008-01-28T10:15:00.001-05:00

These are the two different trades I have made for a convention in March that my unit has every year. LOVE IT!! So many new ideas, business speakers and the make & takes are great. I made 20 of each of these and I have a 3-D project that I made 40 of that I will show later.

I again have gotten this design from Joan Misner. If you have never been to her stamp camp, you are missing a hidden treasure!

These cards are made with Guava and Pomegranate, ivory, close to cocoa regular and designer paper. I used the Baroque Motifs set with the matching inks per card. I used the scalloped paper punch and handcut the layering flower. You might not be able to see the deminionsals used but under each layer of the flower & scalloped punch I used Deminionals. Then I punched and set a eyelet with my crop-a-dile...LOVE THAT! I used ribbon from the Sherbert's pack. I did alot of sponging to age the paper.

These are just card fronts. I found that making a whole card is a waste because if I trade with someone that later finds she doesn't like it I haven't wasted alot of paper when it goes in the trash.

Have a great Monday. My kids are home so I am off to make pigs-in-a-blanket for lunch!

Emergency Card Kit

2008-01-27T09:04:00.000-05:00

Good Sunday Morning. Before I head off to church I thought I would post my lastest project...
I CASED this off SCS (Splitcoaststampers) and modified it to my colors. I also have on for Thank you and for Encouragment. I made this envelope from the 5 in 1 template but added 1/4 inches all around. This kit contains 8 3X6 cards with envelopes and a pen.
I made it out of Mellow Moss pattern paper,Ruby Red,Chocolate Chip and Mellow moss with some River Rock ribbon.
I will post the cards later today. My upline took the kit to post on our unit Web site and I will get them back today at church.
I will make samples of the other 2 kits so you can see the front sayings... I wrote them and thought they are cute.
Have a Blessed Day

Happy Valentine's Day

2008-01-26T09:30:00.000-05:00

I normally do valentine's day cards around some kind of a candy. But this year I thought

I would make an actual card.

I used the heart from the Time Well Spent set and the scrolls are from the Baroque Motifs. I used Rose Red paper and ink, white of course is the main card and a patterned pieces from the Rose Red pattern pack. I used diamond glaze on the heart to give it some dimension. I also colored in the flower with the white gel pen and then cut another flower out of vellum and adhered it by a "bling" brad. I used the slot punch to keep it closed and it give the card a different look. Dimensions were used to bring things off the card.

I hope you like the card... leave me a comment

Enjoy this day that the Lord has made....

My First Stamping Blog Post

2008-01-25T15:45:00.000-05:00

Here is my first card for my new blog. I copied it fromJoan Misner's Stamp Camp and just love it. It is the Time Well Spent set we got as a gift from SU. I also used Sanded background stamp inked with Creamy Carmel. The paper used was Creamy Carmel, Cameo Coral and Ruby Red. The same colors in markers were used to color in the "FRIENDS". I finished it off with my favorite Close to Cocoa ribbon..

Welcome to my new stamping blog. I visit so many daily that i wanted to start one myself.
I hope to have many of you visit daily... and see my counter raise rapidly...

Here we go!!
