Nature’s Nest Black Magic by Rose Ann

Hi Everyone,

I have a special share today. One of my downline (and friends) Rose Ann Marr stopped by today and brought a few of the projects she was working on. This is her beautiful Rendition of Nature’s Nest using the Black Magic Technique.

 

Isn't it lovely? It’s always surprising to see others work and they’re color choices. I love the blue and black and most likely would not have thought to pair them the way she did and bring the blue out in the eggs. Love it!!!!! Then she added the Gorgeous Stain Ribbon……oh it’s so dramatic in real life. Wish it had photographed better. The Textured mat is done using the Finial Press Embossing Folder and she dabbed a little white Craft Ink on the raised part. So-o-o-o pretty!

When I did my Black Magic I used watercolor pencil’s where she used Stampin’ Pastels (chalks). There are a number of ways to achieve different levels of color depending on product you use. With the Pastel’s its softer.

I’m glad you took a minute to stop by today and hope you will come back soon.

….and as always….

Have a Stampinglee Good Day!

Friends

Hi Everyone,

Can I just tell you a bit about my friend Amy?

I met her because she was visiting Jacksonville as her husband works here some weeks. She so wanted to hook up with a Stampin’ Up! Demo and happened to be at the bank where my Dear friend Margie (also known as my Personal Banker) asked her if she had any hobbies. Well there ya go…..she hooked Amy up with me and that was the beginning of a beautiful relationship. Margie has a way of sending people my way by asking that pertinent question!! She’s a Sweetie!!!

I am so blessed to have such special people in my lives, mostly because of what I do. Wouldn’t you love to have a job like that???

Today I’d like to feature Amy as she just sent me this Beautiful Friend Card!!!…..the best part is was for no apparent reason but to say hello and thank me for all the kindness I have shown. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm ….Hard not to be kind to somebody like Amy….she makes it easy. Love ya Girlfriend!!! You too Margie!!!

Without further ado…here is Amy’s card.

Didn’t she do a wonderful job?? I hope you will leave a comment for Amy to read she’s back in Orlando and I’m missing her. She is stamping away as usual…..you can see that.

Thanks for stopping by and if ever you would like to talk about what I do and think you’d like to give it a try…just let me know.

Now go out and have a ……

Stampinglee good Day!

Terri’s Halloween and Thank You Bag

Good Morning Everyone,

I’m still getting back in the groove after vacation. I had a workshop last night with a wonderful Group of girls. My friend Terri was there and of course she dazzled us with her creations, yet again. She brought me a Halloween Card and a Thanks You Bag for attending her Candle Party she had a few weeks back.

So I thought I’d share those with you today. Isn’t this a great card?

….and here is the Thank You Bag of Goodies she gave all of her guests with they’re candle orders. How cute is this???

I guess that’s it for today….except that I want to thank Terri for being such a good friend and for just being her!!!

Good Morning Everyone,

I have a special treat for you today. I have a Guest Stamper who would like to show you what she has done with our new Hostess Set, Patterned Pines.

I’d like to introduce you to Natalie she is four years old and just a delight. I met Natalie about 3-4 weeks ago when her Mommy had a Stampin’ Up! workshop for me. I could tell that she was very interested in stamping and was thrilled when her Mommy shared these pictures with me.

Natalie with her first creation…..

…….and the final result!!! (Look at that smile and those eyes!!)

She’s amazing…..this is her first card!!! This was her original design done by herself…..I’d say we have born Stamper on our hands wouldn’t you?

Thanks for sharing Natalie!!!

Rubber Hugs to You and I wish you a ……

Stampinglee Good Day!
