Hey Everyone!

After playing around with a couple of other blog options – I’m right back where I started.  I will be back to regularly posting and sharing stories about the kids and all the things going on in our lives and all of the Stampin Up news you have always loved!

The kids are getting bigger and bigger.  Brandon has completed his service to the US Marine Corp.  So glad to have him home!  Austin is now 20 and loving his new job just minutes from home, Caitlyn will be graduating from High School in June and her dance team is currently preparing for Nationals in Orlando!

And “Baby” Logan turned 4 last week!  We are preparing for his birthday party…Batman themed!  Watch for lots of pics!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and it’s right around the corner! I like to send cards to all of my nieces and nephews since most of them are under the age of 10 and hardly ever get mail. Over the next few weeks I’ll be posting Halloween card ideas for you to share with your friends and family. This card I made for a demonstrator swap last month. I CASE’d (Copy and Share Everything) from a board on Pinterest. I apologize I don’t know who the original creator is.

Card Stock: Pumpkin Pie, Motley Monsters DSP, Basic Black, Whisper White, Daffodil Delight
Ink: Basic Black
Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes
Accessories: Word Window punch, Petite Pennants Builder Punch, 2″ Circle, 1 3/4″ scallop punch, decorative dots Textured Embossing Folder, dimensionals

One of the things I love about Stampin’ Up is that every week they offer these amazing deals! You can go right to my webpage and order them and have them sent directly to your home!

I apologize for being incognito the last few months. This summer had a lot of twists and turns in my personal life and my stamping/scrapbooking was forced to the side for a while. BUT I am back…I’m ready and raring to get you motivated and excited for the upcoming holidays!

This is my favorite Christmas Card. We made this initially at a workshop in 2006 where my sister was the demonstrator and I was the hostess! I have made it every year. The trick is to send it to the ‘newbies’ on my list that way I know I’m not sending something they have already gotten!
it’s hard to see in the picture but the white is edged in dazzling details so it sparkles like crazy!
