Episode #407 ~ Scrapbook Layout Using Penny Black Stamp

Hi Scrappy Friends,
  I hope you are all enjoying this long weekend with your families & friends! Perhaps you are getting some crafting done, we are getting lots of rain, so it's perfect for scrapping. I am trying to get caught up, but I've lost some pictures due to my phone getting wet when we were in Niagara Falls this summer, rats! My scrubby promises me that he will figure out a way to get those pictures back, we'll see...
  I used a really cute Penny Black stamp for my accent piece on this double page layout, I bought it awhile ago & was just waiting to use on our daughters Sweet 16 pictures. With my Copic markers, I was able to color the gown pretty darn close to the color of her gown, so that was really fun!
 Have a great rest of your weekend,

Episode #406 ~ A Lawn Fawn Haul...

Hello again crafty friends,
  I found this long lost video tonight form earlier this summer. My scrubby replaced our old modem & I am able to upload videos as easily as I used to!!! What a relief, it has been a frustrating last 4-5 months having all these computer problems.
  It wonderful to put that behind us & get back to everyone's computers running normally again, thank you Jesus!!!
  I am new to Lawn Fawn, but I think it's a really cute line of products, let me know if any of you use it as well. I bet another order will be in the making soon...

Episode #403 ~ Darcies Heart & Home Stamp Set Card & Share

Hi Everyone,
  Happy Thursday to all of you crafty friends... I got a chance to play with some new goodies I found at my local craft store. Have any of you ever used Darice's Heart & Home stamps? Gosh... They are super cute & I just adore the sweet little "Tin Pin" embellies that are available too!
  I also found a store called Pat Catan's when I was in Ohio on vacation a few weeks ago & went a little shopping crazy there too. I think I am preparing myself for a long winter & planning to hibernate in my craft room with all my finn goodies!!!
  Glad to be home & looking forward to one more vacation this summer to the Cape...

Happy crafting,

Leaving' On A Jet Plane...

Hi Crafty Friends,
  I hope you are all enjoying your summer, we are having a wonderful time together camping & seeing the sights! I just wanted to let you know that I will be at Stampin' Up! Convention in Salt Lake City as of TODAY! Yippee... I leave around dinner time & I can't express how excited I am! It is my first time going & it's the 25th Anniversary Celebration & I know they go all out for their consultants.
  As soon as I arrive home on Saturday, I turn immediately around & fly to Dallas for the Mary Kay 50th Anniversary Convention! OMGosh... pinch me, I think I am dreaming ~ This has been a long awaited "Mom Get-Away" as I have never left my family before. LOL, our oldest is 21 yrs. old & the other 2 are in H.S., is it is withe much excitement that I pack my bags. Scrubby will have his hands full, but he's wonderful & I have pre-made the dinners for him & I know they will be fine.
  When I get back from MaryKay, I will post lots of pictures & share all that I have learned. This is really going to be a whirlwind week for me...

Father's Day Cards/ Pt. 1

Hey Peeps,
  Gosh... It took me forever to upload this video today (really night now). I spent the morning making Father's Day cards for my scrubby from the kids & myself. I love when I don't have to rush off anywhere first thing in the morning.
  I hope these fun cards give you some ideas so you can make some for your favorite guys in your lives! Lovely As A Tree & Open Sea are really beautiful stamp sets & if you have any questions just leave me a comment & I will get back to you.
  May your Father's Day be filled with love, laughter & family!
