Guess Where I am Going...

Tuesday, October 30, 2018
Guess where I am going...
I'm so excited to be going to Florida for the 30th Anniversary of Stampin' Up! Celebration.
Can you see that I used the CABLE KNIT Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder for Minnie's sweater. Minnie was created using Stampin' Up!'s fabulous punches.
Not only do I get to enjoy a fun time at ONSTAGE LIVE I get to enjoy a week vacation in Florida with my friend Janell. Janell is in the second level of my downline, and I just want to say that I sure have met the best friends through Stampin' Up!
I had to give Janell one of her pillow gifts early because she is going to need it for her luggage.
My sweet friend, Becky, made these for us.  Aren't they adorable!! The photo shows the front and back views. Another gal from my down line is hoping to meet us in Orlando closer to the On Stage Event so Inez also received a Disney luggage tag. I'm so excited that the Centre Stage Event (a special time for Silver Elite and above) is at EPCOT!! WOOT WOOT!!
When I get home there will be one more craft sale. I hope to see you there...

Teen Dancer

Monday, October 29, 2018
Today is our Sweet Gracie's 13th birthday!
I hope you have enjoyed my 13 week countdown watching Gracie grow up.
I can hardly believe that Gracie is a teenager.
Although our first two children, Julie and Jeff, are only 2 years apart, they had a large year spread between having children so we have many years to wait until Sawyer celebrates his 13th birthday (9 to be exact).
Here is how we celebrated Gracie's birthday...
Gramps and I let the kids choose the restaurant that they want to go to
This year Gracie chose Panera - YUM!!
 She received $13.00 (because she is 13) and I bought her favorite Nothing Bundt Cake White Chocolate Raspberry!!
On the way home we stopped to check out where my sister is building a new house when I realized I didn't get a picture of Gracie with her money and cake.
Gracie is our dancer so this is the card that I made for her inspired by Kelly Kent.  I did not make Gracie's card a spinner card, but just attached the ballet girl directly to the front of the card.  However if you want to make one as a spinner card you can see what Kelly did if you follow the link to her blog.
You have until 5pm tomorrow to get in on my October special...
My drawing for October is...
MAKING EVERY DAY BRIGHT Photopolymer Stamp Set
And the CHRISTMAS BULB BUILDER PUNCH

Paper Pumpkin Halloween Cards & Treats

Saturday, October 27, 2018
More Halloween cards
This time I wanted to make some Halloween Cards for the gals who are Paper Pumpkin Subscribers through me.
I wanted to feature the stamp set that was included in the September kit
After I put together all the treat bags exactly as instructed I still had some elements left over to use on the following cards

 Colors: White, Pumpkin Pie, Gorgeous Grape, Basic Black, REGALS DESIGNER PAPER STACK
Inspired by Paper Pumpkin Fan Club Facebook Group.
 Colors: Basic Black, Tranquil Tide, Pumpkin Pie and was inspired by Debbie Henderson
This card was put together perfectly lined up thanks to our amazing STAMPARATUS. Inspired by Paper Pumpkin Fan Club Facebook group
The little spiders were stamped with Craft White Ink
I wasn't thrilled (at first) with this Paper Pumpkin Kit but I am learning to sit back and glean amazing ideas from other Stampin' Up! demonstrators on the Paper Pumpkin Fan Club on Face Book. I ended up thinking how much I love the stamps because you don't have to rely on the elements in the kit, you can stamp all the words ("boo", "eeeek", "spooky")
My drawing for October is...
MAKING EVERY DAY BRIGHT Photopolymer Stamp Set
And the CHRISTMAS BULB BUILDER PUNCH

Halloween Cards

Thursday, October 25, 2018
Time to share some Halloween cards that I made to send to my team and some of my friends
Because my team is growing (YEAH!!!) I had to make more than one variety because of how much Designer Paper that I had on hand.
This first one was inspired by France Martin.  
What I changed: I did not purchase the CAULDRON BUBBLE Stamp Set
so I had to rely on some pumpkins from a retired Stamp Set (FALL FEST). I DID purchase the TOIL & TROUBLE Designer Paper
so I could have cut out some pumpkins from that adorable paper, BUT...I used all that paper up on a 3D treat for OnStage. You will see this on a later post.
I also used a retired bat punch because I did not purchase the new SPOOKY BATS PUNCH

Although it does not look exactly like France's, it still turned out really cute
I cut the B from the LARGE LETTERS DIES one from Gorgeous Grape Card Stock and one from the TOIL & TROUBLE Designer Paper.
This second card is my own design. 
I wanted to make a Halloween card that featured our Lucy and Katy Pup. Most of the ladies who come to stamp and the gals on my team just love these two adorable pups
The designer paper is NATURES POEM
Pumpkins from: FALL FEST (retired)
"Happy Halloween" is a past Paper Pumpkin stamp
I added some stamped witch hats from another retired set:
and the darling pups are from BELLA & FRIENDS

I won't be home for Halloween this year so I'm not sure if Dale will dress up the girls in their tutu's for all the trick-or-treater, but it sure would be fun and don't they look adorable??
Tutu's courtesy of our son and daughter-in-law, Joey & Melissa!
This fun card also features the TOIL & TROUBLE Designer Paper, plus I hand cut the Good Witch, kitty, and the cauldron from the Designer Paper. I did cheat again and used some retired web doilies. this card was inspired by Kim McPeek.  Do you see the little SPIDER TRINKET?  So cute! and I HATE spiders! but this one is adorable!
After all of the three card varieties were made I realized I still needed a few more.
This card was inspired by Melissa Davies and features the September Paper Pumpkin Kit.
I also used the tree from SHELTERING TREE, the Smoky Slate clouds are (not clouds at all) from HIGH TIDE. My Moon and Stars are punched using the TWINKLE BUILDER PUNCH, and the same retired bat punch. This time I cut a pumpkin out from a retired Designer Paper. (Wish I would have remembered I had a little of this paper when I made card #1)

My drawing for October is...
MAKING EVERY DAY BRIGHT Photopolymer Stamp Set
And the CHRISTMAS BULB BUILDER PUNCH
There is so much more to this stamp set than just Christmas. Can you see the cute little bunny, and one that looks like bunny ears? So cute for Spring, along with the flowers. Then there are pinecones, feathers, spider webs and so much creativity!
HERE ARE THE DETAILS for the monthly drawing special:
