Happy Birthday, Tyler!

Today is our oldest grandson's birthday! Happy Birthday, Tyler! I can't believe we have a 17 year old grandchild.

This photo was taken several years ago when Tyler tested for his black belt.
It's rare for us to get a photo now days - you did hear me say that he is 17, right?? enough said!!
We did have a nice dinner out with him last weekend, when we took him to Herb Fire Pizzaria!

Only 5 days left to take advantage of the LAST CHANCE PRODUCTS before the new Annual Catalog goes live on June 4th!
This card is one that we made at the Tuesday COME STAMP WITH ME CLASS this week.

I am happy to tell you that the GEARED UP GARAGE stamp set and dies AND the CLASSIC GARAGE METAL EMBELLISHMENTS are also returning!!

So what product is retiring that is featured on this card? The PICK A PATTERN WASHI TAPE that you see in the top left of the card.

Happy Birthday, Jeff!

Happy Birthday wishes to our son, Jeff!

This amazing son of ours is the spitting image of his father (Dale), but he is also bearing the image of his Heavenly Father. We appreciate what an incredible husband he is to Jessica, and father to Lily, Mercy and Sawyer (L to R).

Of course this is NOT the birthday card that I made for him, but I did want to share a birthday card on my blog today (I featured his card in an earlier post)

This card was out for the ladies to make at the last COME STAMP WITH ME TUESDAY Class

The stamp set BEAUTIFUL DAY is returning!  YEAH! but what is NOT returning is the NEEDLEPOINT NOOK Designer Paper. The great thing about this "technique" is that you can stamp your butterfly onto the Designer Paper of your choice using VERSA MARK INK and heat emboss it like we did here. The Happy Birthday Greeting is also stamped with VERSA MARK INK and Heat Embossed with BLACK EMBOSSING POWDER.

Piece of Cake

This is one of cards that was out this week for the COME STAMP WITH ME TUESDAY Class

I'm super excited that the stamp set PIECE OF CAKE is returning along with the CAKE BUILDER PUNCH. But if you buy these two items now you can still get in on the 10% bundle price.

What's not returning is the fun Designer Paper: HOW SWEET IT IS.
The Highland Heather Organza Ribbon is one that you could get free during Sale a ration (January through March). If you follow my blog regularly you get all the info on current promotions. Just click on the SUBSCRIBE button on the side panel to subscribe to my blog which means it will come directly to your news feed/mail so that you do not need to search it out each time.
Also used on this card are the awesome STITCHED RECTANGLES DIES. You can see that I used 3 different sizes. Check it out on my online store and see how many dies are included in this set.

Thanks!

Having 2 puppies can be challenging at times, especially when you need to go away for an entire day and cannot take them with you.

Thanks to friends who are willing to take them in so they can have a fun day and meet new friends.

Katy got to stay with Piper's family. Piper's mom showed us a hilarious video of the two of them ramming around the house. Katy is such an instigator! but looks like she got all tuckered out, sleeping with her favorite elephant "Jasper"
Lucy got to stay at our son, Joey's house with Leo and Bailey.
Divide and conquer was our goal for that day! PLUS Lucy got to stay over night  and we got Mother's Day dinner cooked for us the next day when we went to pick Lucy up. SCORE!

This is the thank you note that I made for Piper's moon using our NOTE CARDS & ENVELOPES

The NOTE CARDS & ENVELOPES are made with the THICK WHISPER WHITE card stock so they are nice and sturdy. I cut a second piece of Whisper White card stock 1/4" shorter for the top layer and embossed it with the SOFTLY FALLING Embossing Folder. (after I stamped the "Thanks" on it with Melon Mambo Ink). The "Thanks" is a sneak peek to a new stamp set coming out on June 4th called GOOD MORNING MAGNOLIA.
I added a BELLA & FRIENDS puppy colored in as Katy's colors. Super simple and super sweet.
Check out the retiring products list because of the items I used, the SOFTLY FALLING Embossing Folder and BELLA & FRIENDS are on the last chance list.
Get what you want/need before it is too late. Only 6 days left!

We're Having a Picnic, We Want You to Come!

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!
We are planning ahead for our Neighborhood Picnic

I used the BUFFALO CHECK Background Stamp for the base with Real Red Ink.  Added a few picnic ants marching along the bottom.
The invite was created on my computer using the My DIGITAL STUDIO program that Stampin' sold MANY years ago, and cut it out with the LOTS OF LABELS Dies (R)

This year I made 20 invites and Dale and I walked door to door to hand them out.

This started as an outreach that our church initiated last summer. We were encouraged to reach out to neighbors, friend, family & strangers. We chose to start an annual neighborhood picnic.  It was a huge hit last summer and everyone said that we should do it every year - so we are!!

Think of ways you can use your Stampin' Up! products to encourage someone or to make fun invitations like these. Don't be a card collector - SEND THEM TO SOMEONE and brighten their day!

Only ONE WEEK left to get in on the LAST CHANCE PRODUCTS. You can check it all out on the links below...

Thanks to You from Baby & Me!

Our church celebrates the first child born to each family with a baby shower and this past week we celebrated yet another baby being born into our church family.

This time we did not know if it was going to be a boy or a girl so the thank you notes that I made for her gift had a few colors: Mint Macron, So Saffron and Calypso Coral.

I used the stamp sets CUDDLES & KISSES and SOMETHING FOR BABY - both of which are retired but still a favorite on my shelf.

The POLKA DOT Embossing Folder will be available through June 3 - yup, it's on the retiring list.  Get it now before it is too late. Check out all my links below.

I used the WHISPER WHITE NOTE CARDS for the card base but I had the note card sized envelopes left over from my April Paper Pumpkin Kit and they coordinated nicely with the thank you notes that I made so it was a win-win for me!!

Romance Diagonal Fold

Monday night was our group #2 Card Club and this is one of the cards that we made.

This is a fun diagonal fold card and was inspired by Cindy W

The three cards that I featured at Card Club were using product that is on the LAST CHANCE LIST.

In particular for this card, the ROMANCE DESIGNER PAPER and the FLORAL FRAMES Stamp Set and Dies are retiring.

Thankfully the QUILTED Embossing Folder is still current and carried over to the NEW Annual Catalog!

This card fold would be FABULOUS with any Designer Paper you chose.

We will be starting up another Card Club in September so if you are interested in joining us we would love to have you.

Do you have to live here in my area to be in the Card Club? 

Of course NOT!

Although you won't be here to join in the fun of being together, I will mail you the projects and the instructions.

REQUIREMENTS: 

We meet the third Monday of the month (every other month) ie: group #1 meets in September and group #2 meets in October, etc.

You need to make a minimum $30 purchase every other month. One of the months you will be the hostess and will need to supply the treats, but you will also receive the Hostess Rewards.  If you do not live in my area we will work out the treat issue.

You can contact me HERE

The Retiring Products Lists are available while supplies last or until June 2nd.
