A story from 12 years ago

Sorry if you have heard this story before but I had to share again. Logan knocked this picture out of my shadow box above my stamping desk and it made me laugh when I looked at it. This is a picture of Rebecca when she was just 3. I was brand new into stamping and she wanted to play like mommy did. I was doing dishes and she was playing in dining room.... well you know when your kids get too quiet you know its time to look in on them??? Well this is what I found. The old style of stamp pads did not click lock like the ones now so they just flipped open.. well this little lady and her afternoon hairdo.... decided she was going to investigate that pad. It was my new real red.. it just came out. Well she apparently tried to taste it, smell it, feel it and wear it like make up. She was so proud. AND..... she didnt get a single smudge on my biege carpet or my white chair coverings.. Amazing. Jump forward 12 years and she is still into my stamp stuff but she is a bit more careful. haha

Because I care

Here is another card I made for camp. The set I used was Flower Fest. 5 of the stamps match punches so I only had to cut out the leaves. Easy Peesy. You know me I love those textures so of course I had to emboss the black. The bow is a faux bow... haha I wrapped the ribbon around the card and then I just tied a knot on a separate piece of ribbon and stuck it on with a glue dot. For those of my fellow stampers who are allergic to ribbon ;)
I will post the other 2 camp cards after Sunday's gathering of stamping goodness.
Enjoy this fabulous weather.
Happy Stamping

Birthday card

This is the card I made for Rebecca's 15th Birthday. You cant tell but the scoops are gradual layered with dimensionals. I think next time I will add texture to the scoops. can you tell I like that set called Swirls and Curls? so cute.

Recommitment to my blog

Hello all.... I have made the decision to move my blog from my wish I could get to it list to my list of things I must do. I will start today by posting 2 cards. One for the upcoming camp and the other is for a very special Birthday. Check back often as I am going to make sure I post lots of inspiration for you. I am inspired by so many of my fellow Stampin Up demonstrators and I will mention your name if your ideas are the ones that draw me in.
Stay tuned.

Stamping Mojo....

This cute card is one that we will be making at stamp camp this next weekend. Inspired by a fellow stamper Mary Brown... it is a cute combination of punches and textures.

This card is for my BFF Gwen. When you care to send the very best... you better stamp it!

Love my punches and embossing folders.. sure adds the pop to the card.

Sneak peak for RH Aug and Technique Tues camps

Cards 1 and 2 are from camp tomorrow. This baby card was inspired by a fellow stamper on Stampinconnection.

Who doesnt need a child birthday card every now and then?

The next card was inspired by Rebecca who drew up her idea and I made real.

This next one is using punches and then peeled to make a flower. Come to camp to see how its done.

A few cards from July camp

Here are some of the cards we did for camp. Felt like using some of my favorite colors. No ribbon this time for those of my campers who are allergic. haha you know who you are.
