Stampin’ Up! Wetlands Meets Adventure Bound!

Stampin’ Up! Wetlands Meets Adventure Bound!

Hey there! How are you doing today? Things have calmed down around here after all excitement yesterday, and I had a little time to create! My hostess for tonight has requested a card using the Wetlands stamp set, so I put my thinking cap on.

I decided to use a bit of retiring Baked Brown Sugar cardstock for my card base, then layered on a piece of Adventure Bound Designer Paper from the stack in the Occasions Catalog. I cut a window with one of the soon-retiring Window Frames Framelits dies, then added a Baked Brown Sugar frame cut with the same die and the next-larger die from the same set.

Stampin_up_wetlands_1

I stamped a layer of Very Vanilla with the little shore birdies from the Wetlands set. My hostess had also admired a technique on a swap I had on my display board that used the swish stamp from the Work of Art stamp set, so I used that stamp to add the background colors behind the birdies. I stamped all of my images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink then colored the shore grass with my Blender Pen using Pear Pizzazz and Sahara Sand ink from the lid of the pad.

Stampin_up_wetlands_3

 Inside I used the cut-out from the Adventure Bound layer on the front, then stamped the sentiment from Yippee Skippee! (which is retiring) and cut it out with the next-to-smallest Window Frames Framelit.

Stampin_up_wetlands_2

A bit more stamping with the Work of Art "swish", the birdies and the grass finish off the inside. I kept the stamping of the grass and the birdies on the envelope simple by using just the Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Stampin’ Up! Monday Morning Mess!

Stampin’ Up! Monday Morning Mess!

Hey there! I was unable to get back home in time yesterday to add the names of the Sunday Swap Day card creators because the transmission went out in my car on the way home from TN yesterday. I know God was watching over me because:

1. The transmission went out AFTER I got through all of the construction/car wreck zone on I-24. If it had went out during the hour or so of just crawling along at 10 mph I would have had no where to go to get out of the way.

2. When I pulled over to the side of the road, I was only about 1/4 of a mile from an exit and it was DOWNHILL all the way to the exit! I was able to coast my car to the exit. When I got to the end of the off-ramp there were no cars coming and I was able to coast the car right into a filling station!

3. After we determined it was the transmission (my husband & I via the phone) my husband was able to borrow his brother's trailer to drive down and get the car and me. I was still about three hours from home, so I was prepared to wait.

4. I didn't have to wait by myself very long. My husband is the song leader at our church, so he had to call our pastor to let him know he would be missing the evening service and why. Our pastor's father-in-law, Tom Malone, lives just minutes away from where I was stranded. He called his FIL, who then called me. Bro. Tom picked me up from the filling station, took me to the evening service at his church, then he & his family took me out for a snack and kept me company until Mark arrived to load the van.

5. Mark had help from Bro. Malone and his son-in-law, Rick, to get the van loaded  and safely secured on the trailer, so we were on our way back to IL a little before 10 p.m.!

6. We arrived safely home around 1:30 a.m.

Needless to say, I slept in a little the morning, but when I got up I found this going on in my yard:

10941827_10204116400490886_3126015258303046914_n

I immediately snapped this picture, which prompted one of the workers to knock on the door to see if I was upset with them. They had tried to knock on the door and even rang the doorbell, but I was sound asleep until I work up "thinking" I had heard the doorbell. I think they thought I was a little bit crazy because I told them I just thought it was funny and ironic that on the day we have to leave my van out in the drive instead of under the carport is the day the tree trimmers come to trim our trees for the power company!

Another funny thought, isn't the "WORK AREA AHEAD"  sign they put in my yard supposed to be set up on a road????

Anyway, they were able to get the trees trimmed without any damage to my van, so it's all good!

That's all for now. I had a MOUNTAIN of laundry waiting for me when I got up this morning. My guys are pretty good about keeping things together around here when I'm gone, but the laundry got the best of them, I guess!

I'm going to go add the creator's names to yesterday's post and then get busy with my day! I have two parties this week and a presentation to make at the Spring Into Stamping event in Champaign, IL on Saturday! I have a lot to do!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Stampin’ Up! Sunday Swap Day!

Hey there! I am still in Tennessee this morning, but I'm going to post these cards without the creators names for now and when I get home tonight I will add them.

First, a pretty rendition of Painted Petals with a Something Lacy background. The "HAPPY BIRTH DAY" greeting is from the Honeycomb Hello set.

4/27/15 edit: This card was created by Linda Pagel

Next, the gold foil butterfly really pops on the Crisp Cantaloupe paper over a Basic Black Something Lacy background. A Gold Glimmer paper banner and gold basic buttons continue the theme.

4/27/15 edit: This card was created by Sue Barreth

Stampin_up_something_lacy

For this swap a Daffodil Delight Something Lacy background was paired with a Blackberry Bliss Crazy about You flower. The Lost Lagoon card base and 3/5" Stitched Satin ribbon is the perfect background and complement.

4/27/15 edit: This card was created by Kathy Morgan

Stampin_up_crazy_for_you

Real Red, Basic Black, and Whisper White was paired with the For the New Two stamp set for this tri-fold wedding card. The flower punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack was used to punch the blooms, which are centered with Pearls Basic Jewels.

4/27/15 edit: This card was created by Susie Wood.

Something Lacy for the center fold:

Hey there! It's finally Friday! yay! I think if the weather cooperates we will be taking the kids to the park today.I am helping my sister-in-law, Debbie, take care of her three grandchildren while their parents are on a trip. Even though I hadn't seen these little ones for about a year and half, they all three warmed up to me pretty quickly. By bedtime the oldest two, age 4 1/2 and 2 1/2, we both on my lap for multiple story books! The littlest one is only 10 months, so this is my first meeting with little Allison! I love it!

Before we take off for the park I want to share with you this card created with the Painted Petals stamp set and a Butterfly Basics greeting:

Stampin_up_painted_petals_1

It's simple and easy, but oh, so cute! Inside I finished it off with a sentiment from the Butterfly Basics stamp set and the some of the same stamps from Painted Petals.

Stampin_up_painted_petals_2
