Did you Know?

Did you know that Stampin' Up! carried "Cork"?  Look on page 216 of the Idea Book and Catalog.  Pack of 6 sheets 6"x13" for just $9.95   They cut like butter!  With scissors, your table top paper cutter and of course with your BIG SHOT!  At the last Tips and Techniques club all projects were made with cork.  Thanks to my Friend and amazing Stamping Friend Linda Heller I was able to come up with these projects.  This one is cut with the big shot and the fun flowers die.  Sponged edges with Soft Suede  ink and sponge daubers, then put a layer of crystal effects on the cork and allowed it to dry before assembling. 

The cork Flower is mounted on the fancy favor box that can be easily cut with your Big Shot!  Try some.. If you don't have a Stampin Up! demonstrator I'd love to order you some so you can get started creating.  Stay tuned  More ideas to do with "Cork"

Happy I Do Day

We found out that our Son Reid is going to have a happy I do day in October.  I am making the invitations so I've been in the wedding mode.  This looks nothing like the invite.. (I'll share that with you soon) but this makes a great wedding card.  Super easy.  

Yummy Corn Salad

Even though our corn crop has not been the best this year, first the flood, then the crows, then the deer, and to top it all off the raccoons finished it off.  We did get some to freeze and eat but not like we'd hoped.  But there is always can corn....lol and that is what we used for this yummy salad.  The set that is used is the Best Friends forever set  love love love the vine that is in this set.  Crumb cake and black are some of my fav combos!
Thanks to my friend Barbara for this recipe

Be Yourself.

More fun with the button buddies set!  I love how when coordinating with other sets you can get such cute stuff.  My motto has always been to be myself.  True even if you are a pumpkin!
Have FUN

Kindness DOES Matter

I

I fell in love with this set.Kindness Matters, You can find this set of 5 is located on page 121 and should be on everyone's wish list.  I combined it with the French Foliage  on page 115 which is another one that is a must have.  This box is so sweet.  Thanks for stopping by

Just 9 more days to order from the Summer Mini Catalog!  This set will then be gone...I love having this set.  I know you will too.  

Farm Fresh!

This is not stamping releated, yet... I plan on making tags for our eggs we give or sell.  But wanted to share the first eggs from our chickens.  We have 64 layers but only 4 are laying now, so watch out when they all start laying.  

 They were YUMMY!  My first farm fresh egg EVER!  I'm thrilled I can walk out my back door and get myself some eggs!

Is is one of our girls!  She's so pretty!

Button Buddies

I am in LOVE with this set!  Button Buddies found on page 71!    this is one of the card we did at Camp.  They also learned how to use the blender pens to take color off of a stamp.  Plan to attend one of my events soon.  And Thanks for being MY Friend!

Big Shot Dress

This is a Dress that was on display at Convention that was appliqued using Material cut with the big Shot and the butterfly die.  It started out as a T-Shirt! I thought it was really clever and it is some of our new SU Fabric!  I don't sew but if I did I would make one.  Give it a try!

Birthday Card

I received this in the mail from my friend Karen!  I was searching for a great B'day card to share with my card club and it appeared in the mail!  Thank You Karen for remembering my Birthday and for the great card!  I love love love using the flower  for the triple layer blossom punch (122464)  I had this Designer Paper, "Just add cake" and I was off to this design.

Hope you will get out your gear and stamp, punch and glue something today!
