Stampin’ Up!

Posted on January 28, 2013 by Carol Payne

It's Monday morning and I'm spending my day with Liam, by youngest grandson!

He's jumping and having a party in his excercizer this morning! He's had a bottle and a nap, several diaper changes and a jammie change, we've played on the piano play mat and in the excercizer, and now it's just about time for another bottle and maybe another nap!

While we wait for the next step in Liam's day, how about a card share?

This is another card I swapped at Leadership, using the same "Paper Quilting" technique as the Tea For Two Gatefold Card with the More Amore Specialty Designer Paper. The heart is cut out with one the the Heart Framelits, and embossed with the heart strip of the Adorning Accents Folders, and one of the new "Needlepoint Borders" folders and even recycled the negative part of the image on the inside like I did on yesterday's card:

The "Be My Valentine" is from the "Delightful Dozen" stamp set. The "Love You" is from the Holiday Catalog carryover set, "Seasonal Sayings", which will still be available until April 30th!

Well, Liam has about decided it's time for a change of scenery, so I'll close for today!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Sale-a-bration has begun! How will you Sale-a-brate?

Posted on January 27, 2013 by Carol Payne

This posting is late today, I know, but it is still on time since it is still Sunday!

Before I show you my creation for today, how about a little picture of me and my sister?

Last Sunday afternoon my hubby & I traveled north about 2 1/2 hours to the city of my birth, Decatur, Illinois to attend a retirement party for my sister, Connie. Connie worked as a Respiratory Therapist for many years (over 30!). Her husband retired a couple of years ago, and now she has joined those ranks too!

Some say Connie looks like our dad and I look like our mom. I just know she was my favorite person growing up and is right up there on my favorites list now! I love you, sis!

Now on to today's card:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2013

This card's focal point is actually what would usually be considered the discard piece from yesterday's card. Remember the "quilted heart" from the center? This is the pieceit was cut out of, mounted on Chocolate Chip, then a heart from Hearts A Flutter stamped in Calypso Coral and a tiny little motif from the Sale-a-bration set, Madison Avenue, stamped in Pool Party. The "LOVE YOU" is from Itty Bitty Banners cut out with the Bitty Banners Framelits.

I have a confession to make: the base of this card was begun waaaaaay back in October of 2011! I was prepping swaps for the Louisville Regional that year and I ran out of time before I was able to complete them, so into storage they went, and were promptly forgotten! Leadership 2012, then Convention 2012 came and went, and these bases, Houndstooth-embossed Pool Party on Chocolate Chip, continued to languish, destined to oblivion once Pool Party retired in May of 2013. But lucky for them, while I was preparing the room where they were stored for Christmas family guests, they were unearthed (YOU don't have anything like that wasting away in YOUR craft or spare bedroom, do YOU?!)

So a discarded-but-now-repurposed focal point meets almost-forgotten card base. What do you think? I liked it once I completed it and it turns out I got lots of nice compliments on it when I swapped it in Orlando.

Thats all for today. It's a gloomy, cold, rainy & almost icy day here, but until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Finally Friday! And more swaps!

Posted on May 7, 2010 by Carol Payne

Here it is finally Friday and I've only gotten through the 3rd day of the cruise! We had so much fun, it's hard to leave anything out! This post is LOOONG because I'm going to show you a bunch of Share Night stuff!

Share Night is one of the highlights of every Incentive Trip; cruise achievers bring their best projects from the past year for display to "share" with their fellow achievers! It's always exclusive to Cruise Achievers only, so Jessica had to go back to our cabin by herself!

Renee Watson & I had to have our picture taken together! Not only were we were wearing the same blouse, but she had on brown capris, I had on a brown skirt, we both worth turquoise earrings, brown sandals, and even our toenail polish matched! We had never met before, but became instant friends!

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

Although Renee & I hadn't met before, we HAD swapped! We are both members of a monthly swap hosted by Carol Nordquist, and this was the fabulous swap I received from Renee this month! She used "Tropical Party" and the Square Lattice Embossing Folder! I love how she frayed her ribbon!
