September Stamp Camp cards
Straight Hair
This is our Pretty Rebecca. She got the great idea that she wanted to straighten her hair so I bought a straightener and went to work. Now our little Rebecca (boo as we call her) has thick curly hair (picture 1) so it took a while but we finally got it looking pretty straight. I dont think we can have totally stick straight without a ton of product but she was super happy with the results. So she wants to have her picture take for school in this shirt and straight hair. She is 12 but looks older in the 2nd picture. However she does it.. she is beautiful to us.
Logans 2nd Birthday
He blew out his candle all by himself. Last birthday he was a mess with frosting... this year he decided that he didnt want to be messy. Auntie Cathy was happy with that.
Of course he loved all his other gifts but hey he is 2 years old so he has to focus on just a couple of things at a time. So Happy Birthday to our sweet Logan.

My hive is bigger than your hive
Ok so this started as a tiny little thing that the girls noticed. I figured it being up 2 stories we would just let it be. Ok well that was dumb. Now the thing is over a foot long and has lots of giant hornets working away. I have to say it is sorta cool. The neat thing is that it is upstairs above the garage so I went inside and was able to take this cool picture that I am sure most people dont get. On the screen side they have plastered their mud on it so you cant see the hive but on the glass side you can see all the different layers. I did see some inside but you cant tell in this pic. I am hoping that when it frosts and they all leave I can somehow take it down for the girls to take to show and tell. My hive is bigger than your hive. hahaha So the big fellas are up high and have not really bothered anyone. We do find the ones that are on their last hours walking the ground and we smash them and rush them to the end. Shoes are a must for the kids to play in the driveway. I hear you can get spray.. haha what a joke. I would have to stand on a picnic table directly below them to even reach it. So someone said.. well open the upstairs window and spray thru that.. well that is great and all but the hive front door is in the front.. not the back.... and do you think I want to come back out of the garage with a hundred angry hornets flying around. No thank you. You would have to spend the night in the garage. So we wait.... and wait.. and wait... and it grows and grows and grows. haha If it gets bad we will call someone but in the meantime we will take our chances.
BBBUUUZZZZ
Simple card and Purse card
Just 2 cards that we are doing for camp. The first is using designer paper and my ever favorite the scallop punch. I used 2 circle punches behind it then one of the new buttons available in the new catalog. This card is a super easy one that you can make multiples in a short amount of time. Just think... you could whip out 25 cards in no time for something like Thank yous, holiday or even invites.
The 2nd is using the round tab punch folded in half to make the bag part. The handles are the small oval then the large oval cut over that. The clasps are the word window punch and the 3/4 circle punch. I used brads as the locks. I also used my cuttle bug for the back ground. This idea came from pictures of the SU convention that my upline took. I am not sure who came up with the purse idea but it is so cute.
Well I have 2 more to take pictures of and then they will be on the blog soon. They are also cards from this weekends camp.
Until next time.... Happy stamping
Thanks for reading

My stamping area part III
Ok so the back wall is a giant piece of pegboard which I love. I need to see what I have or I forget it. So with lots of hooks and the doll rod I can see lots of goodies. Can you tell I love my punches? I do. I also have my little baskets that hold my minis and watercolor crayons. Another one holds my wheel handles. I bought the crop a dile case at a different store but ours does not have one. Makes it a snap to hang it up and out of the way. But if you dont make sure it is snapped close you are going to be hunting down all those tiny pieces that come with the case.
The hanging containers at the bottom pop open and they hold my business cards, extra black spots, and jumbo ink cartridges. I found those at Menards. Not my favorite store but when you have a home you have to fix things and therefore visit Menards. Why not see what they have for my stamps :)
Ok I am getting a bit tired after the long weekend. I will finish posting the rest of the pictures tomorrow. Still have to show you each of the side walls and what goodies I keep there. Till then. Happy Stamping
