Gracie had her second Dance Competition last week.
Her category this time was Ballet
Words cannot express how extremely proud we are of this girl.
We love that she loves to be with us and the relationship that we can have with her.
I sent some photos to my friend, Carla, to let her know that Gracie took GOLD in her competition, and she was so sweet to make a special card for Gracie.
Carla combined DAISY DELIGHT Stamp Set and the DAISY PUNCH with the BEAUTIFUL YOU stamp set. I love the daisy petals as her skirt, and then the daisy stamp as her background paper!
SO, SO CUTE!!
Gracie's first competition she took Platinum in Jazz
Look at that giant trophy!
She's growing up so fast!
She has one more competition, and I am so sad that we cannot be there. I'm sure Julie will keep us up to date how she is doing.

When I created a new HOSTESS CODE for the month of May it came up like this
Now I don't know about you, but I am an extreme ice cream fan, so when it started with DQ all I could think about was my favorite Dairy Queen Blizzard! I always get the Banana Split Blizzard - which one to you choose?
Of course my thoughts went right to making a card
Here's want I did (the sketch is loosely based on Dawn Griffith's Sketch #78
I used the largest and the second largest STITCHED RECTANGLE DIES
I cut them from Crumb Cake Card Stock then using the SPONGE BRAYERS I sponged Crumb Cake ink all over both of them.
My red banner (although it looks pink in this photo) is Whisper White Card Stock sponged with the SPONGE BRAYERS and Real Red Ink.
The Crushed Curry is 3 3/4" long and they both measure 1" wide. I ran it through one of my favorite retired embossing folders.
Now for the DQ cup. I used the SPONGE BRAYERS again with Pacific Point Ink on Whisper White card stock and cut out with the COFFEE CUPS FRAMELITS
The Whipped Cream was stamped with Smoky Slate ink onto Whisper White Card Stock and cut out, and the plastic cover was cut from VELLUM Card Stock, all using the COFFEE CUPS FRAMELITS.
I went onto Google to get the Dairy Queen icon, printed it, cut it out and attached it to the front of the cup and adhered the cup with Dimensionals.https://www.stampinup.com/ecweb/search/dimensionals
The top layer of crumb cake is also adhered with Dimensionals - I think I go through those things like water because I like my cards to have dimension to them
I imagine I will use this card as a gift card holder at some point to give a DQ gift card as a gift.
How Fun!! Time to think our side the box and create something unexpected!!
BTW - the COFFEE CAFE` Stamp set and COFFEE CUPS FRAMELITS DIES are all retiring. Get yours NOW before it is too late!!

There is an amazing song by Jeremy Camp called GIVE ME JESUS and when I saw this card on Pinterest (I do not know the original artist), this song immediately came to my mind.
Check out the song - it's amazing - so inspiring!

Check out how inky my fingers got making this card!! I figure you cannot keep your fingers clean when you are stamping! It is the sign of an avid stamper.
Dimensions: Thick Whisper White: 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
Tranquil Tide (retiring color - get yours NOW): 5 5/16 x 4 1/16 (3/16 smaller than the card base)
Whisper White: 5 1/8 x 3 7/8
The original creator of this card used the words from the ENJOY LIFE Stamp Set:
When you arise
in the morning,
think of what a
precious privilege
it is to be alive;
to breathe, to think,
to enjoy, to love.
These are great words too, and the ENJOY LIFE stamp set was designed by one of our $1,000,000 achievers, and these words are perfect for her and her family. I think if I would every achieve the $1,000,000 in sales - #1 it would be a pure miracle, and #2 I think that the stamp that I would design would need to be one that is faith based, because that is what defines me.
I would love to have you as a part of my Stampin' Up! team, but more than that I pray that you will be a part my sisters-in-Christ team.
