Stampin’ Up! Best of Christmas!

Posted on November 24, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I'm posting tonight from my new laptop. The old one (only 2 years, but apparently that is old in laptop years) is on it's last leg. It doesn't charge well anymore, so I decided to upgrade before it completely bit the dust. My techie son, Troy, says he can get all my info from it even if it is dead, as long as the motherboard isn't dead, but I wanted to upgrade before I go to Leadership anyway (and for a end-of-year tax deduction!) so here I am!

I am on a learning curve, as this one runs Windows 8, which is COMPLETELY different than my previous Windows 7, but I am gradually getting used to it. I am also trying to operate without my trusty wireless mouse! I've been mouse-dependent for years, and have been really resistant to using just the built-in mousepad because it seems like every one I've tried to use before, things just sort of went flying around as I was typing – losing my place is frustrating, but this time I think the pad is cooperating with me and nothing so far has flown away! lol!

We had our family get-together for Troy & Logan's birthdays today, and it was a great time! There are 17 of us now, including the babies, so it definitely isn't quiet! I LOVE it!

After everyone went home to tuck the babies in bed, I sat down and created these two projects with the Best of Christmas stamp set:

It's a luminaria! I cut the opening for the vellum with one of the Festive Flurry Framelits, then embossed the Crumb Cake layer with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Folder. I heat embossed the nativity image from Best of Christmas with Early Espresso Stampin' Emboss Powder. I also sponged the texture with Crumb Cake ink.

From the side you can see the battery-powered candle I used to light it up!

I heat-embossed a phrase from Christmas Messages with Early Espresso powder, then cut it out with a smaller Festive Flurry Framelit. The "Believe" is from Snowflake Soiree, Early Espresso heat-embossed then cut out with an Oval Collection Framelit.

For my ornament I Gold Heat Embossed the same image on Crumb Cake, cut it out with a Festive Flurry Framelit, then sponged the edges with Crumb Cake ink. I mounted it on a circle cut from Champagne Glimmer Paper, then another circle of Chocolate Chip. Both circles were cut with Circles Collection Framelits. I Gold heat embossed "Believe" on Chocolate Chip, then cut it out with one of the Circle Card Framelit Dies. I added a hanger to the back of Victoria Crochet Trim. LOVE!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day and My Relaxing Day in Chester, IL!

Posted on October 26, 2013 by Carol Payne

Hey there! I had a fun, relaxing day with my girls and Oakley at a wedding they were shooting in Chester, IL. I'd never been to Chester before, even though I've heard of it all my life! I didn't even realize until I got there that it was right on the Mississippi River!

The first place we went to shoot pictures of the bridal party was Cohen House. This really intrigued us because of Jessica's oldest little boy, Cohen. This is a really COOL house!

Located on a bluff high above the Mississippi, this house was built in 1855. Yes, that's right, eighteen fifty-five!

The sign says it was occupied by the Cohen Family until 1983. The City of Chester bought it in 1984 and maintain it as a Civic Center. I didn't get a chance to tour the inside, but a glimpse I did get (on my way to use the restroom) was gorgeous wood and beautifully maintained original architecture!

This is the back of the house as you approach from the street. The "front" of the house I showed you in the first picture faces the Mississippi.

Beautiful delicate stained glass.

It was a perfect October day with a clear view across the river into Missouri.

Alisa shot pics of the groom and his men first, then after they left, the bride and her maids came and had their turn.

The sun was so bright that Alisa had to shade her camera after every shot so she could check them!

The town of Chester was quite picturesque too. Many old but well-maintained homes built in approximately the same area as the Cohen Home gave it an aura of a bygone age. Next door to the Cohen House is a B&B called "Stone House". I wonder if I can get my hubby to come back here for a little weekend visit?

Even though I really enjoy sharing my adventure with you, I know you want most to see some pretty card inspiration, don't you? I hope these swaps won't disappoint:

Calm Christmas by Gina Cardera featuring a Frosted Finishes Embellishment.

Amy Combs version of Snow Day with Winter Frost Designer Paper and Festive Flurry.

This swap using one of the Expressions Thinlets Dies was only stamped with the name "Donna".

And finally, Catherine Stephenson's Christmas Collectibles creation with Winter Frost Designer Paper and a 1/8" Silver Ribbon bow!

That's all for now. You can shop for your favorite products for any of these cards in my Online Store HERE
