Halloween Happiness

Another treat for my friend Melissa!

 And a cute card to go along with it!!

 Notice the dimension that I gave it by popping up the pumpkins several layers!!

I really love how this turned out!!

Now a little news on the home front... I have been spending this week with my three sisters at my parents house during the day and then I can come home at night to sleep.  What a blessing this time has been.  My sister that broke her leg so badly is walking with a cane already! I cannot believe her amazing recovery. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers for her.

One more... our 87 year old father is having a procedure on his heart today to shock it back into rhythm.  We are not worried, but we do cherish your thoughts and prayers on his behalf.  He is very dear to us and we hate to see him struggling to breath.  We will be spending today at the hospital with my mom while we wait for him to be finished and ready to come home.

Feeling Sentimental

Today is the first day of the Stampin' Up! Leadership Convention in Orlando Florida, and tonight Managers and above get to go the Exclusive Managers Reception.  Henry is holding my ticket and the invitation is sitting right next to him.  Where are we going?  We are going to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios!  Notice he is sitting on a stack of Harry Potter Movies...  Thanks to my friend Marla who owns them all and let us borrow them since we have never seen any of them we wanted to watch them before we left so I would know what to expect when I got there.

And since we were watching Harry Potter, Henry thought he would join us.  Henry is wearing Tyler's Harry Potter glasses that he used for his Halloween costume this past year.

In this particular episode Harry's form of transportation to Hogwarts School is through a telephone booth just like this one. Henry and I couldn't resist making a card in honor of my earning the FREE Exclusive Managers Reception.

 

and while my hubby and I were enjoying a day at Disney's Epcot Center we saw this phone booth and just HAD to have my picture taken by it.  I tried stepping inside to see if it would transport me to Hogwarts, but alas, it didn't open.

I thought I should make up my January Thank You notes using the FEELING SENTIMENTAL stamp set from the Sale A Bration Brochure.  This is just one of the stamp sets that you will be able to earn FREE with a $50 purchase between January 22nd and March 22nd.

Does this ever happen to you when you are stamping? Where you get ink on the edge of the rubber and mess up your card?  UURRGG!!

Here is a simple solution ~ all you need to do is take your handy dandy CRAFT AND RUBBER SCISSORS (pg 180 #103179 $19.95) and trim all around the edge to remove the excess rubber.  These Scissors are PERFECT and cut through your rubber like butter. When they get a bit gunky from the stickiness just clean them up with a little goo-gone.

TADA!  now you can get a perfect image!

Another super fun thing about going to any Stampin' Up! events are the SWAPS!  Earlier I showed you the card that I was swapping, but if you missed it click HERE to see it.  Then I thought I would like to bring along some 3D swaps because I know from experience that there will be some 3D swappers out there and I will wish I had something to swap with them. So this is my 3D swap

Fun little note books using some of the new Designer Paper and Stamps.  I can't wait to show you all the fun things I swap for.  Stay tuned...

Thanks For Stopping By!

Get Well Sooner

 Now that the weather is cold we are experiencing the typical "cold and flu season".  

I thought this was a fun card to have on hand to send out to those who are struggling with not feeling so good right now.  Thanks to Glenda who let me borrow her BUTTON BUDDIES stamp set, I was able to use up some buttons I had on hand.  

The Sentiments are from WORD PLAY and SWEETLY SAID.

 

I love cards that have a little element of surprise in them don't you!!

This is not the card that I gave my friend, Marla, after her shoulder surgery, but I thought it was appropriate to show you what Henry's been up to when he came with us to visit her.

Get well Soon Miss Marla!

Thanks For Stopping By!

Have a Healthy Day!!

Bridal Shower Gifts

Last Saturday I attended another Bridal Shower for Melissa, 

our soon-to-be-daughter in law.

For her gift at this shower I made up these 3x3 Thank You notes
complete with a Black Stampin' Spot and an address stamp. 
They demonstrated this little box at Leadership last January and I thought it
would be a fun way to gift the address stamp for Joey and Melissa.
 I made the box using an OLD retired card stock called Green Galore
and then used Tempting Turquoise on the notes.

These are the two colors of their wedding, and it is all coming together so pretty.

I used on e of the 3x3 note cards for her gift enclosure card that
we made on one of our play days.

I also beaded this set of serving utensils for them

 

It is hard to see the pretty colors of the beads but it sure got rave reviews at the shower

Melissa loved them!
Here is a photo of me with my four girls
Left to right... Jessica, Jeff's wife, Melissa, Myself, and Julie our daughter

Congratulations Joey and Melissa!!

Love, Mom
