Happy First Birthday, Lucy!

Monday, April 30, 2018
I can hardly stand it! Only one week before we leave on vacation!  I love to travel, but I also love my home life.  I'm so thankful to have a healthy balanced life.
One of the things that I will miss the most is our sweet Lucy girl who celebrated her first birthday on April 19th.
My cousin made Lucy this darling PUP cake, and she LOVED it!!


Our kids think we are crazy, but we consider it fun. We put Lucy in the booster chair mostly for a photo op and to replicate how the young parents celebrate the babies first birthdays with a smash cake. It also helped that I didn't need to crouch on my knees because they will be the next thing to go on this aging body!
This is a cute scrapbook layout that I made that was inspired by Rachel Tessman.  Rachel used the Party Pandas stamp set, but I switched it up for Lucy's first birthday pictures!! I guess we are a bit silly, but we are so in love with this little pup.
I used an element from a previous Paper Pumpkin kit and some clouds from several die sets.
Paper Pumpkin is such a fun kit to get in the mail each month and if you subscribe by May 10, your first 2 months will be 50% off!  What a great deal!!
Just follow the links below.
If you live in my area you may join us for a FREE Paper Pumpkin work night where we gather to work on our kits. It is so much fun to get inspiration from one another, and to "think outside the box" (like Rachel always says)

Sentimental Sunday

Sunday, April 29, 2018
She's finally here!!!
Miss Mercy Eowyn Waite
4.28.18
3:45 am
6# 8oz. 19.75"

She's just a teeny little thing, no wonder it took a little longer for her to arrive.
We are so thankful for a brand new, healthy, grand daughter!
Miss Mercy breaks the girl vs boy tie so we are now at 3 grand daughters and 2 grandsons.
Jeff tells us her middle name, Eowyn, is from a character in the Lord Of The Rings books (his favorites). A strong female character, who gives of herself for others. She is brave and spirited.
Please join us in celebrating this precious new life the Lord has blessed us with!
Thanks for stopping by today!

Therefore, I will share a sympathy card with you today
I used the stamp sets HIGH TIDE and ROSE WONDER (for the sentiment)
Colors: Marina Mist and Dapper Denim which are both retiring

Wherever You Go Graduate!

Friday, April 27, 2018
Tis the season for graduations!
I love this card that was made using the WHEREVER YOU GO Stamp Set - which is sadly retiring. It's got so many great elements to this stamp set, but I guess they cannot all stay on forever can they?!!
I used the Maize and Blue colors of our local school but I certainly will adjust the color for other schools. The ladies made this on Tuesday and that is the beauty of the Tuesday class.  They are allowed to change things up a bit if they want.  Some days they keep me hopping, but that's why I love this "job".
This card was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest but there is no blog link.
I'm sure I will be making more graduation cards - so stay tuned!!
Stamp a Stack Classes start up next week already so it is time to sign up for the class that fits your schedule the best.
Wednesday, May 2 at 9am
OR
Saturday, May 9 at 9am
You will make 8 cards for only $15.00 and this includes your envelopes
If you place a minimum $25.00 order your class fee is waived
If you cannot make it to class, I would still appreciate your online order.
Here is the list to my quick links to contact me or to shop with me...

Epic Celebrations

Thursday, April 26, 2018
EPIC CELEBRATIONS is another fun stamp set that we earned during Sale a bration! Did you get your FREE copy??
This is also another great set for teen cards so this is the card that the ladies made at one of the Tuesday Classes.
Why do I show you cards using Stamp Sets that are no longer available? Well, perhaps you were able to get this set during Sale a bration - now you will want ideas of what to use it for.
I also wanted to feature the STITCHED EDGE RIBBON. This card features the Pacific Point color, but the ribbon also comes in Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Fresh Fig. This super cool ribbon will NOT be carried over to the annual catalog so take advantage of the LAST CHANCE LIST before it is too late, and they are gone forever.
Also used on this card (inspired by Laura Allen):
Layering Circles Framelits, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Layering Oval Framelits, Retired Stamp Set: HELLO, from a previous Sale a bration.  See how handy it is to collect all of these stamp sets?
I made a pattern using a 3/8" hand held punch and a 1/4" hand held punch so that it took away the guess work for all the ladies.

Springtime Foils Sympathy

Wednesday, April 25, 2018
How many times will I need to say this? Sympathy cards are my best selling cards - how sad is that??
The SPRINGTIME FOILS Designer Paper is one of the most beautiful papers that we have had during Sale a bration. I made sure to stock up, that's for sure. It is combined with Gold, Silver and Copper. On this card I combined it with the GOLD FOIL SHEETS
I used the With Sympathy sentiment from FLOURISHING PHRASES.
This card was inspired by Kathleen
This stamp set, thankfully, is carried over to the New Annual Catalog. It is chock full of wonderful sentiments for many occasions
Here is the list to my quick links to contact me or to shop with me...

Truly Foxy!

Tuesday, April 24, 2018
Oh my goodness!! I simply love this fox card (inspired by Donna Globy on the Demonstrator Planning Place on Face Book. (another great perk for being a demonstrator)
The stamp set I used here is called TRULY TAILORED and it coordinates so well with this masculine Designer Paper TRUE GENTLEMAN The TRULY TAILORED stamp set is bundled right now with the TAILORED TAG PUNCH for 10% off. BUT... here is a heads up...the Stamp set and paper did NOT get carried over to the Annual Catalog so you will WANT to get your hands on them NOW.  Follow the links below to place your on line order. 
Good News!!...the TAILORED TAG PUNCH did carry over to the Annual Catalog.
Also used on this card: FOXY FRIENDS Stamp Set and FOX BUILDER PUNCH.

Bubble Over with Happiness

Monday, April 23, 2018
BUBBLE OVER!  This fun stamp set is being carried over from the Occasions Catalog to the Annual Catalog that comes out in June!
These are a couple of the cards that we made at a Tuesday class
This first card was inspired by Linda Callahan
This second card was inspired by Dawn O
Everyone says how hard it is to come up with cards for teenagers, but this stamp set is perfect for the teens (as well as so much more!!) If you are into alcoholic drinks, think beer and champagne.
Card #1 I stamped the soda pop bottle, and in Card #2 I used the die to cut out one of the images on the Designer Paper that we were able to get for FREE during Sale a bration. The Designer Paper was also used on the card fronts, but using your creative juices you can design such adorable cards using the BUBBLE OVER Stamp Set and dies!  Purchase them NOW as a BUNDLE and get 10% off.  Once the Annual Catalog goes live, the Bundle price will retire, but you will still be able to purchase them individually.
I'm so excited about the NEW Annual Catalog coming out in June!!
Look how fun! LOVE IT . LIVE IT . SHARE IT! 
If you want to reserve your copy please place a $50 or more order in my online store and I will make sure that you get a copy for yourself. HOWEVER, if you are a regular purchaser from me, your copy is already waiting for you (once I am able to order them).

Swap Cards and Shares

Friday, April 20, 2018
Time to wrap up this week of Team Shares
This first share was one of the items that they received as a Swap at On Stage. It is an air freshener made with coasters, and it smells so good!! Very Clever idea!!
This is the card that Shirley brought to OnStage as her swap card! LOVE IT!!
These 2 cards were received as swaps and they are so cute I had to share. There were so many great shares, but I only chose a few to share with you.
The stamp set WE MUST CELEBRATE was not chosen to be carried over to the Annual Catalog so if you have fallen in love with these cute cards be sure to click on the links below to place your on line order before it is too late.
This is the swap card that Inez brought to On Stage as her swap card.  She shared with us that she very often is late sending birthday cards so the little sloth is perfect for her! And this is a fun technique too.
These are the cards that LuAnn brought to On Stage for her swap card using the CRAFTING FOREVER Stamp Set
And last but not least is this MAGICAL DAY card made by Peggy. This is the one that she brought for her swap card. She is bummed that this stamp set did not carry over to the Annual Catalog, BUT... the background stamp, MARBLED, did so that is one good thing at the end of the rainbow!!
