STAMP 10 Part IV

Okay, now we are going to venture away from the Valentines theme and make some all occasion cards. Starting with a fun Thank you. The ladies did very well with the Stamp-a-ma-jig tool to align these trees. Even our newest gal caught on right away – so never think you cannot learn a new technique.

Future Computer Geek?

Gracie loves to play games on Gramma’s computer so when she is here by herself I let her do just that. Doesn’t she look like a computer junkie?

Oh Gracie, you always amaze me. At 4 years old she maneuvers the computer pretty well. Sometimes I will say to her “what are you doing now?” and she will respond… “I’m just waiting – it’s loading”. She just makes me laugh.

Thanks www.nickjr.com for the fun and educational games.

So For Now...

Happy Grandparenting!!

SWAP

At last Thursday’s down line meeting we had another SWAP – this time using a stamp set from the new Occasions Mini Catalog.  Not everyone was there, but here are the ones that we received that night.  Oh, BTW – the new Occasions Mini has some GREAT new stamp sets, punches, designer paper, etc. 

Glenda’s card

She used the new dot impression folder and new Bird punch – I love it!

  Lori’s card – She used the

new border punch, and the stamp sets I (Heart) Hearts, and Whimsical Words – this one you can earn FREE with a $50 order during the Sale-a-bration period through March 31, 2010. Very pretty Lori

Rachel’s card – Rachel used the new stamp set called My Matryoshka, window sheets and rub- ons.                                                                                           Patti’s card – she used the new stamp set I (Heart) Hearts as well.  The Heart to Heart punch fits perfectly for this stamp set.                                                          This is the card I submitted, and I, too, used the new stamp set I (Heart) Hearts.

Hope this gets you excited about what other wonderful things we have in the Occasions Mini.  There are so many great incentives going on during the Sale-a-bration period that you won’t want to miss out on.  Two starters kits are available at 15% off – the regular starter kit and the My Digital Studio kit.

Sunday Share

One of the blogs I check regularly always has a Sunday Share for her Sunday postings. When I was sent this link I thought I would share it with you all. We were all so proud of Jeff when he sang the National Anthem at the Griffins hockey game, and I can only imagine how proud the parents of this 7 year old boy were when he sang at an NBA game. I hope you all are having a blessed Lord's Day.
