Ep. 615 ~ Stampin' Up! | "Animal Outing" Thanks A Bunch Card!

Hi there Crafty Friends,

Welcome to a New Stamp Set from the upcoming Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog to launch on June 1st, 2108! In this episode I am featuring the uber cute set called "Animal Outing" and I just love the whimsical line art of this precious set.

I discovered after trying many different methods of coloring that alcohol markers aka: Stampin' Blends give the best desired effect, I am anxious to get the complete set a.s.a.p.

I hope you enjoy this sweet card as much as I did creating it, I plan on putting this set to good use!

Happy Hugs,

Good morning Happy Stampers,

This little gem popped up in my Facebook Memories Page and I had to share it with all of you! This is my dear friend Fiona and her beautiful pup and warms my heart like no other.

She captured her fur baby watching one of my videos and I love that even the doggies out there wnjoy watching my videos. 

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do...

Happy Furry Hugs,

Greetings from Milwaukee OnStage!

Hi Everyone,

Well it’s Saturday and I am having such a great time at OnStage with all my crafty friends. 

Stampin’ Up! Founder and former CEO opened the day and was it fun to see and hear Shelli Gardner herself!

I won some new stamp sets from the upcoming catalog as well as played with new product to boot!

Of course we got to have a copy of the new catalog and I can assure it is FANTASTIC and you will not be disappointed ~ 

I hope to have lots of you celebrating our 30th Anniversary in Orlando in November!!!

Happy Crafting,

Made it to Milwaukee OnStage!!!

Hi Everyone,

Well we made it to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for Stampin’ Up! OnStage and I couldn’t be more excited! 

My family on my Mother’s side are from Milwaukee so I have spent a lot of time here and have so many special memories. My scrubby Bob (Scrapbooking Hubby) drive me up here so we are checked into our room which we were lucky enough to have upgraded to a large suite at no extra charge - yippee!

We are heading off to dinner at a fabulous place near my Grandmother’s house right on Lake Michigan.

Here is a picture of my Swap Card that I created, I love this GOJUS Flamingo and cant wait to get my hands on the *New* Catalog that  will debut June 1st! 

I am anxious to be able to Pre-Order some of the products too!

This picture of the huge clock, used to be on the Bradley Building not sure what it’s called now - but this is the largest “Faced” clock (not the largest, that goes to Big Ben In London) this clock has the largest face. Each minute tick mark is over 6 feet tall! Just some fun trivia for you from my childhood.

I’ll share all my swaps when we get back on Sunday, I wish all of you reading this could be here with me and all the demonstrators from all over the Midwest.

Happy Hugs,

Happy Easter, Happy Passover, Happy Everything!!!

I am in my craft room today making a couple Easter cards for my daughter and hubby that I didn't get a chance to make eirlier this week.

The "Hold on to Hope" Bundle is parked on my desk where I can quickly grab it because I use it all the time...

Ep. 614 ~ Spring Bouquet | Home Decor Piece!

Hi Everyone,

Happy Spring! You wouldn't know it was spring at all here in the Chicago area, we had a lite dusting of snow last night!

But it's looking like spring IN my house with this pretty silk candle ring that I was asked to review for a company called Silk Plants Direct.

I am so happy with the superior quality of this lovely piece, I know I will continue to enjoy it for many years to come.

Check out all the pretty pieces they have for indoor and outdoor use, I saw many items I would love to have!

Happy Easter ~

Happy Easter to one and all who celebrate Jesus’ Resurrection - “He Is Risen!” It’s a time of year that my family and I reflect on God’s only begotten son and all he endured on the cross for us. It’s a time of Good News, hope and love...

I made some really pretty Easter cards got my precious family and I thought I would share the card I made for Elise today. 

I hope today finds you surrounded by those you love and remember how much YOU are loved by our Heavenly Father.

Easter Blessings
