Stampin’ for the Community Connection

2012-02-13T09:09:00.001-05:00

Hi Everyone,

It’s been such a busy time….

As you know I do an event every other month for charity here in the Jacksonville, Fl area. It’s so much fun but tons of work! I couldn’t do it alone for sure. This time I had 7 of my Girls (downline) helping me. Together we make this happen and raise $$ for the Charity. I’d like to share a few pictures of this as it means so much to me.

Looks like Donna (plaid shirt) and myself right rear in gray and apron are busy at the Big Shot machines showing our guests how to use the new Framelits and Edgelits. They loved them!

our embossing table…..

Here’s Susan making sure our guests are well taken care of.

Lisa S. had a cute Pennant card she was helping with.

Lisa T. was having fun doing a Birthday Card using the new Sweet Cake Stamp from the mini.

Janet had a cute card using the Candy Conversations Set.

Hey Christina!! She giving instruction on the Big Shot and flashing that fabulous smile!!

Gina helping and demonstrating a new technique!

Raffle Room….tons of fabulous prizes!

Check out the name tags that Lisa S. made for all of us!! How stinkin’ cute are these??

Our Raffle Board…..

This was my classroom….I’m over by the Big Shot across the hall….

Janet’s customer won the VIP of the Day prize. Tons of goodies in that bag, plus a coupon book of specials!!

Our lunch was done by Sweet Tomatoes. We had tons of food and it was so good! See the guy on the right….that’s my Hubby. He is such a huge help at these events!! He picked all the food up and helped Kari serve it.

Look at those cakes and Stampin’ Up Sweet Pressed Shortbread Cookies. Yum!!!

Here is Christina with her customer Donna and myself….look what she won!! A Big Shot!!! Can you say happy???

Speaking of Happy….here is sweet Pat and myself. Pat was the Big Winner!! She won a huge box of Stampin’ Up! product. She just kept saying I can’t believe it…I can’t believe it….I can’t believe it!! I was so happy for her.

A little Birdie told me she spent the day after organizing all of her new things in her stamp room. She still saying I can’t believe it!!!

Our next Event will be for the Special Olympics and will be on April 14th. If you live in the Jacksonville area and would like to come just contact me for more details.

Well that’s it for today….just had to share what I’ve been up to. I’ll be back soon.

Happy Stamping!

Stamping 411 Sketch #242 Party This Way!

2012-02-10T18:04:00.000-05:00

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my blog and another fun week of sketches from Stamping 411.

Here is today's sketch…how fun is this???

…and my interpretation.

I decided to do something a bit different for me. Okay so it’s still white but look at all that color!!! We’ve got Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral and Wisteria Wonder!! Hole Moly can you stand it?

The card base is 4 1/4 x 11 and folded in half. The Wisteria Wonder Mat is cut to 4 x 5 1/4. The next mat is white and run through The Big Shot with the Stripes Embossing Folder…that’s the right side and it measures 2 x 4 3/4. The side with the words on it is cut to 2 1/2 x 4 3/4 and stamped randomly with the Happy Birthday Stamp from “Party this Way”. It’s one of the free sets for Sale-a-Bration.

I then stamped the balloons with all three colors and punched out with my 1 1/4” Square Punch and matted onto colored card stock of the same color punched with the Scalloped Square Punch. I added a bit of Wisteria Wonder Ruffled Ribbon to divide the two sides.

My Party this Way arrow is colored with Markers and stamped on white and cut out. I then mounted it on Wisteria Wonder and cut again. It’s popped up with dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed my share today and will take the time to see what the other Operators have done.

Have a great weekend.

Linda Allen said...

Lee. I love the bow maker. I bought one and have received so many compliments on my "bows". One of the ladies in my stampin group has been wanting one. I guess if I'm the lucky winner maybe I'll give it to her.
Thanks again for sharing your wonderful cards and ideas with us all.

Simply Soft & Spring Fever Meet & Give-a-way!

2012-02-07T10:14:00.001-05:00

Hi Everyone,

I’d like to share a few things today. First a card I did using the image from the Simply Soft Hostess Stamp Set. I love, love, love this stamp set!

I paired it with the DSP from the Spring Favor Simply Scrappin? Kit. That DSP is gorgeous!! Don’t you think?

I just love the springtime feel to it. It’s so crisp and clean and sweet!

I stamped the image onto an oval cut with the Ovals die and colored it in with my markers. I dotted the area around the oval to freshen it up and make it pop. I think it adds to the sweetness of it too. The bow is done using the Pear Pizzazz Seam Binging and my Bow Maker (available for purchase on my right side bar). This makes bow making a breeze!!!

How would you like to win one???? I will be giving away a FREE Bow Maker to one of you. All you have to do is leave a comment.

I’ll also be giving one to the first THREE people that place a $50 order at my online store!! Talk about a win-win…..you get $50 in product + one SAB item and a Bow Maker sent directly to your door. Sweet!!!

I will draw a name for the winner of my blog candy on Friday so don’t delay.

Want a sure thing?? Be among the first three to order on my website. Offer ends on Friday as well.

Have a great week and thanks for stopping in.

Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge # 241 Sprinkled Expressions

2012-02-03T18:00:00.001-05:00

Hi Everyopne,
Ready for some more Stamping fun with the Stamping 411 Operators? Here we go.

This is the fun sketch…..
….and my interpretation. I really had fun with this one.

Card Base is Whisper White cut to 4 1/4 x 11( no surprise, huh) and the next layer is 4 x 5 1/4. I used a strip of the fun new DSP called Sweet Shop….look at those raided Polka Dots. Love it. That piece is cut to 1 1/2 x 4. The mats are done in Wisteria Wonder (Love it) and cut to 2 x3 (2 of them) and followed by two whisper white pieces that are cut to 1 7/8 x 2 7/8. One is run through the Big Shot with the Polka Dot Embossing Folder and the other is the image piece and it’s stamped with the Sprinkled Expressions Image in Wisteria Wonder. Added the sentiment from the same set, a few Rhinestones and a double bow to create this cute-cute card. Well at least I think it’s cute.
I hope you like it and will play along this week over at Stamping 411!!!
Happy Stamping!!!

Love it and you Midge.

At Leadership Conference I had a special dinner date with Pam Morgan and my some of my girls that attended Leadership…check it out.

From left to right: Myself, Pam, Susan, Kanaka, Christina, Lisa and Janet. We had such a good time! It’s so wonderful to work (can we call this work?) with a company that is so warm and personal. Pam is the VP of Employee and Demonstrator Development at Stampin’ Up! and just a delight. I first met her on the Alaskan Cruise last year when my Husband and I were invited to her table for dinner one night. How fun.

These are just some of the “Good Times” we have with Stampin’ Up! Gatherings….they are the best!

Thanks for the memories Pam and a special thanks to all of my downline who made the trip so memorable!

Stamping 411 Sketch #240

2012-01-27T18:00:00.002-05:00

Welcome back! It’s another fun day with Stamping 411.
Here is the fun sketch:

…and my interpretation….

I used the fun set Everybunny! It’s got the cutest bunny images in it. I chose this little bunny in the shell for today's challenge. The base of the card is cut to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and folded in half. the next layer is white as well and covered with DSP called Nursery Best. The pieces are 1 3/4 x 5 and I used the same sheet only different designs. The rick rac look is so totally cute with this set….I wish you could see it in person. The Crumb Cake Mat is cut to 1 3/4 x 2 7/8 and the image piece (white) is cut to 1 5/8 x 2 3/4. I stamped the bunny image in Basic Brown and colored with Watercolor Pencils and Blender Pens. I wanted this to be very soft….kind of like Beatriz Potter. the sentiment piece is cut to 1 5/8 x 2 1/8 and the image piece is 1 1/2 x 2. I stamped the Happy Easter from Teeny Tiny Messages. The little ric rac on that piece was cut from the DAP scraps and glued on with my two way glue pen. I then added a double bow with the Crumb Cake Taffeta ribbon to top it off. I hope you like it.
Hope to see you back soon.

Leadership Cards and Fun

2012-01-25T23:26:00.001-05:00

Hi Everyone,

I don’t think I told you all but I was asked to Present at Leadership Conference in San Antonio last week. Talk about nervous!! Holy Moly!!!

I was asked to share about how I do business “My Way” by helping those in need in my community. It is awesome and I have never enjoyed my job more. To think that I get to do what I love and help people in my community at the same time is just the best!!!

Here are a few shots of me doing my thing……hehe!

Yep!! I was nervous but then I realized these were my Stamping Sisters and they were genuinely interested in what I was doing.

They were very attentive don’t you think? glad I didn’t have any hecklers!!

I spot some of my Downline in that Audience…..they are such a support to me. I just love them! I couldn’t do what I do without them that’s for sure. They make me so proud!!!!

I think I was holding the table up here…..uh huh!!

There’s my friend Cindy in the pink….I just love seeing her. She brings lots of memories. We’ve been friends since 2007

I think I’m answering questions here…..it was warm up there…but so much fun once I got the hang of it. I was delighted to have Shelli Gardner in my first Audience for the whole presentation. How sweet of her to come and cheer me on. Her daughter Sara was my “Person” to introduce me and help me through the day or the moment!! Can you believe my glasses broke two minutes before my first presentation and Sara fixed them?? Well she did!

Then I had the best Minute Man….he is the guy that hold up the minutes to let you know how many you have left. Yep!! It was Sterling….Sara’s Dad and Shelli’s husband.

What a family!!! A Stampin’ Up! Family I would say. That’s exactly how they make each and every one of us feel. Like family! I was honored to have them helping me.

Did you know that you can join the Stampin’ Up! Family during Sale-a-Bration for only $125? ….and you will receive a free pack of Designer Series Paper FREE every month for the next year. Wow!! It’s unbelievable. You can join my team too if you want by just signing up on my website here. I’d love to have you on my team. Have questions? I’d be happy to answer them….just email me and I’ll get back with you. Not a problem.

That’s it for tonight. I’ll see you back in just a few.

Happy Stamping!!!

Stamping 411 Sketch #239

2012-01-20T18:00:00.002-05:00

Hi Everyone,
Another week of fun over at Stamping 411. We’ve got a fun sketch for you to play along with.
Here it is….

…..and my interpretation…
I made this card with my Hubby in mind. You see we both got each other Bicycles for Christmas….so how appropriate. hehe
This is the new set called Take it to Heart - isn’t it cute? I just love it. The card base is 4 1/4 x 11 and folded in half. The first base it 4 x 5 1/4 and the newsprint is cut to 3 7/8 x 5 1/8. They are taped together and run through the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. I then rubbed a sponge with black ink lightly over the embossing to distress it a bit. The black Heart is cut using the new Framelit and the image heart is cut using the same Framelit. I did however decide to cut it close to the silver embossing folder so the black heart will be the mat. Cool huh? Now the smallest heart in the set was embossed on Cherry Cobbler and cut out and popped up on the black right piece. Tucked under the separate right side is a Cherry Cobbler piece cut with our new edgelits and embossed with the Bordering Romance stamp set which matches the edged border. I love this!!! So easy to use and so fun.
Well I hope you enjoyed today’s share and will play along with us over at the Stamping 411 Blog.

The Little Pokie Things from the Soily Sizzlet

2012-01-19T09:15:00.004-05:00

Hi Everyone,
Are you as excited about the new Doily Sizzlet as I am? It’s just so gorgeous. However it does need a little help sometimes. You know everyone’s Big Shot is just a tad different and may need a little help with a shim (piece of copy paper or card stock) to help with the intricate cutting of this doily.
Here is what I did…..

1. Open big Shot Platform to Tab 2 and place a clear cutting plate on the platform followed by a shim (I used Black Card Stock)

2. Then add the Sizzlet and you choice of card stock for the die cut piece. I again used Black. Then run it through the Big Shot. It will be a harder crank but the results are so worth it.

3. Here is the finished piece……that is before eliminating all the pokie pieces.

4. Here is the best part….take a pencil and roll the doily around it to help pop out all those little pieces….

5. Roll it a few different ways to eliminate as many as possible.

6. You will still be left with a few little ones but nothing like before….so just use your paper piercer or even the pencil tip and poke the rest out.

7. Isn’t the result just fabulous????

I hope this helps you with all of your doily creations…..I know it did me.
Have a fabulous day and Thanks for stopping in.

Welcome Back!!! It’s that time again. time to stamp along with us over at Stamping 411!!

I love-love-love this little Elephant. I’ve been itching to use it and finally had a minute to play. It’s called Elebration. Cute huh?
I stamped the image onto Whisper White with Black Stazon and then colored with my watercolor pencils and Blender Pens. Love those things!!! this card will be for a very special young lady who will have her Birthday soon. it’s my Granddaughter Kayla. I know she will love this as she love all stuffed animals and it’s got ink on it!! How can I lose!! hehe
I used the new Framelits to cut the shapes and and attached it to the polka dotted background. I attached the Melon Mambo Ribbon with adhesive on the back of the dotted background cut to 4 x 5 1/4.
Since it’s for Kayla I had to add a bit of sparkle with my two-way glue pen and Dazzling Diamonds…..just had to. A girl has got to have Diamonds, right? hehe
Well I hope you enjoyed my share today and I hope Kayla likes her Birthday Card from Grandy!! Love you Kayla!!

Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge #237

2012-01-06T18:00:00.002-05:00

Hi Everyone,
Welcome back!! Hope you all had a fabulous New Years!! Here’s wishing you all the best in 2012 !!
It’s time for another Sketch Challenge from stamping 411…hope you’ll play along.
Today sketch:

….and my interpretation

Today's card features the Triple Treat Flower and it’s stamped in Baja Breeze. I used the large flower punch to punch it out. I stamped the flower twice and punched the second flower out using the five petal flower punch. I popped up the second flower with dimensionals and added the brightly colored Designer Brad. Love this color combo!! The polka Dotted square is 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 and the Tangerine Tango Mat is 2 3/4 x 2 3/4.
I then used the Happy Birthday form Happiest Birthday Wishes to stamp the background. I did that by stamping randomly on the white mat that is cut to 3 7/8 x 5 1/4. I them matted that with a piece of Baja Breeze cut to 4 x 5 1/4.
The strip is cut to 1 1/2 x 4 1/2 and run through the Big Shot using the polka dot embossing folder. Easy Peasy and quick and fun.
I hope you enjoyed my share today and hope to see you back soon.

My Brighton Valentine and Product Share

2012-01-02T09:12:00.001-05:00

Good Morning Everyone,

Happy New Year to all of you. Here’s wishing you all the best year ever. I know I’m ready for that.

I had a ton of scraps left of the silver glimmer paper and didn’t want to throw them out and wondered what I could do with them. It’s just to sparkly and pretty to pitch you know?

Anyway with the new Heart Framelit (available to you on January 4th) I used the smallest heart to cut our a ton of hearts to make this cute card. No Stamping just lots of Hearts that say “I Love You”! We’ll leave the inside for the sentiment. Doesn’t it look like something “Brighton”?? I just love how easy it is to cut and line up these framelits to wherever you want them to be. When I tell you it was tiny pieces I had left I wasn't kidding and I had no problem cutting these perfect Hearts.

Stamping 411 Sketch #236

2011-12-30T18:00:00.002-05:00

Hi Everyone,
Time for another Sketch Challenge from Stamping 411.
Here is the sketch:

…and my interpretation.

I used the new Apothecary Art Stamp Set on this one. Can I say I’m in love with this new product!!! Well I am!!! Talk about card making made easy!!!
The base of the card is Very Vanilla and cut to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and folded in half. The next layer is 4 x 5 1/4 and run through the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. I attached my Always Artichoke to the back of that mat after tying my double bow on my bow maker. I then stamped the image in Black Stazon onto a piece of Very Vanilla and placed it in my Big Shot using the new Framelits to cut the shapes. Holy Moly!! It’s fantabulous!!!
The coloring was done with my Aqua Painter and Watercolor Wonder Crayons..I went with Rich Razzleberry on this one. Love it!!! So rich and Beautiful in real live and took me no time at all.
I hope you will play along with us this week on this fun sketch. If you’re like me I needed the break and so enjoyed just sitting and playing with my new toys!!
Thanks for stopping by!!

Uncle Jim!

2011-12-29T11:25:00.001-05:00

2011 is almost a memory. Hard to believe but true.

One of my latest memories is having dinner with our favorite Uncle Jim who live in Georgia. We were pleased when he agreed to have dinner with us and our son and his family right before Christmas. He’s always tons of fun and has so much to share. Needless to say we all love Uncle Jim!!!

Here is my family with Uncle Jim right before Christmas.

Isn’t he handsome (he’s in the Blue Sweater). Over the years this man has shown all of us just how special he is. He is one of the finest men I have known in my life. He was always kind, loving, caring, considerate and compassionate …as well as intelligent and thoughtful. Having him in our lives was a great gift from God.

You know he mentioned he wasn’t feeling well and we thought it was because of his last surgery and you know…..you don’t always have a great appetite after surgery and he had five!!! You’d never know it as he just does and goes on without complaint. He just had his 88th Birthday and joked about how he had to renew his Drivers License and wouldn’t have to do that again until he was 98!!! He always makes us laugh.

Well on December 27th Uncle Jim was taken to the ER as he just didn’t feel well and he passed away within 3 hours. His lungs were full of fluid. We are just devastated to lose this inspiration in our lives. We will be saying our goodbyes tomorrow.

Thank You Uncle Jim for always being there for us and for making us laugh and cry and everything in between. I hope you know how important you were to us and how much we adored you.

I will never forget you…..

Stamping 411 Sketch #235

2011-12-23T18:00:00.002-05:00

Hi Everyone,
First I would like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderfully Happy and Healthy New Year!!! Where has time gone…..it soon will be 2012!!! Hard to believe isn’t it???
Today I’ve got a fun card for the sketch challenge. Hope you like it and will take a minute out of you busy day to play along with us over at Stamping 411 .
Here is the sketch:

…and my interpretation.

Isn’t this a fun card? I had tons of fun playing with this new set soon to be released. The set is called Bordering on Romance. I decided it would look good in Black and Vanilla with just a splash of color. Oh Yeah!!! How about that fun thin Ribbon??? You can get that during Sale-a-Bration. It’s just the coolest.
Anyway I colored in my image with my aqua painter and watercolor crayons. I used the Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango for the mix of color. The leaves are done in Old Olive and Wild Wasabi.
The card base is stamped with one of the images to make my own background. I used Black Stazon for that. The first Black Layer is cut to 3 7/8 x 4 3/8 and then I cut a mat of Newsprint that is 3 3/4 x 4 1/4 to lay on top. The next black mat is 2 7/8 x 3 5/8 and the image piece is cut to 2 3/4 x 3 1/2. I stamped the image in Black Stazon and colored in. The final touches are the small pearls and the fun ribbon from the soon to be released Sale-a-Bration Catalog. I couldn’t decide on which ribbon to use so used them both. hehe
The sentiment is from Just Believe. Doesn’t it just fit the card perfectly?
I hope you’ve enjoyed my share today and will come back soon. Don’t forget to check out the Stamping 411 Blog and see what the other Operators are up to.
Have a great weekend.

Stamping 411 Sketch 234

2011-12-16T18:00:00.002-05:00

Hi Everyone,
Welcome to the latest Sketch Challenge from Stamping 411!!!
I Hope you will find time in your busy days to play along with us this week. It’s really a stress reliever….really!!
For this weeks sketch I used the lovely Simply Soft Hostess Set. I so adore this set. It’s so easy to work with.

Here is my take on the sketch….hope you like it.
Crumb Cake is the base of the card and is cut to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 The Vanilla Mat is cut to 3 3/4 x 5 and run through the Big Shot using the Polka Dot Embossing Folder.
I added a strip of Crumb Cake and punched with the Scalloped Edge Punch. On that I added some Melon Mambo Designer Paper….cut to 1 1/2 x 5 1/2.I attached the double loop bow behind the mat with adhesive.
The image piece is stamped with Black Stazon and colored in with Pretty in Pin, Rose Red and and Melon Mambo Markers. I used Old Olive for the branch and leaves. there is just a hit of shadow created using the Sahara Sand Marker going lightly around the image. the little just for you is stamped on scraps and cut with scissors. I did pop that up with dimensionals.
Thanks for stopping in….hope you’ll catch your breath and play along.
