Stampin’ Up! Just Thinking & Zoo Review!

Stampin’ Up! Just Thinking & Zoo Review!

Good Morning! Hope you are having a good day! I had my right eye surgery yesterday, and frankly, if the right one had been done first I would have been much more nervous about having the other one done! The left one only felt like two little pokes on my eye, but today's stung like you had snapped my eye with a rubber band! Ouch! It also took five zaps with the laser to get the hole 100% open, so that was a bit nerve wracking, but I held firm and got through it. The doctor is confident my glaucoma problems should be taken care of, and now that the "goo" is pretty clear from my eye, all is going well.

Enough about me, you came to see something pretty, didn't you? I hope you are not disapointed by this:

Sharon House created this swap using the Just Thinking single stamp in the Occasions Catalog, free Sycamore Street Designer Paper, Window Frames Framelits, and a Basics Glimmer Brad!

My second sample to show you today was created by my dear friend, Ruth Bingle!

Ruth used Zoo Review, one of the few Annual Catalog stamp sets I actually DO NOT OWN! Are you shocked? Now, I must admit that I am a stamp-a-holic, but many of my stamps were free to me from sales and promotions that Stampin' Up! offers. Add to this the fact that I've been a demonstrator for 10+ years and that adds up to alot of stamps! The "Best Wishes" is from Petite Pairs.

I actually emailed Ruth to ask her how she created the "zebra effect" for the long panel of this card. She reported that she started with a base of Basic Black, then free-hand cut an identical-sized piece of Whisper White into the pieces to create the zebra stripes! After she adhered the white to the black she ran it all through the Big Shot inside the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Folder! Easy Peasy!

Before I leave you today, here's a picture my daughter, Jessica, took of my 14-month-old grandson, Jaxon, and I yesterday at Steak n Shake before I had my eye procedure:

Jaxon & I have fun when we are together! Someday when he's a big, grown up guy, we will have to show him this picture! I LOVE him! I'm so blessed to be able to spend fun times with my grandchildren!

That's all for today (at least as far as I know!) I'm planning to spend my day planning and creating for my March parties and classes, so it should be a fun day! If you have any questions about anything, just call me, text me, Facebook me (Carol Payne Stamps on Facebook) or email me!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’Up! Button Buddies and Punch Elmo!

Stampin’Up! Button Buddies and Punch Elmo!

Good Morning! How are you today? I'm good. Still plodding away on the dreaded taxes. Yesterday I went with my daughter Jessica, to her accountant to take all of her tax information in and the lady had them done in a snap! Guess I did a good job compiling all the info she needed. Hope I can do the same for myself!

Today's cards are from the same monthly swap as the ones I featured yesterday. The theme of February's swap was Masculine or Children, and today's samples would fit in the "children" category, I think!

This first sample was made by Tamie Ackerson. She gave this little Button Buddies snail a fresh look with Tangerine Tango cardstock, Sycamore Street free Designer Paper, Sycamore Street free Ribbon & Button Pack, and "happy birthday" from the darling little greeting set, Made For You!

That's it for today! In addition to working on my taxes more today I'm also prepping for a Stamp Camp in West Frankfort tonight! I'm really looking forward to a "tax break" to stamp with some realy fun ladies!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

I can't let you go today without sharing an update on my little grandson, Liam! Liam is rolling, rolling, rolling all around the living room these days! My oldest son, Troy, was  a roller, too, so Liam is bringing back fond memories for me! Liam tends to take a toy with him as he rolls, sometimes he even takes a wooden yardstick with him (I will definitely have to get a picture of that!)

Today Liam was rolling with his xylophone accompanying him:

Liam the roller

I swear I didn't do a thing to stage this photo.This is all Liam! LOVE getting to spend a couple of days each week with him! I consider my self so blessed to be his grammie!

That's all for now! Big family day today! We are celebrating my sweet hubby's birthday with all of our children and his mother at our house! I have a 5 lb. roast in the crockpot, a hashbrown casserole and cream-of-chicken-potatoes in the oven, and all the veggies ready to finish as soon as we get home from church. Each daughter is contributing something yummy, and there's a fresh gallon of vanilla ice cream in the freezer (my hubby LOVES ice cream!) It will be a day of grandbabies, fun, and family!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
