True Friend

I received this gorgeous card from a fellow SU! Angel, Kelly Swienton. I have linked her blog to her name and you simply MUST go check it out!!! One really exciting thing is that she has a Airborne Ranger son that will be returning from Iraq after 15 months deployed! Praise God!

Kelly used the fabulous stamp set called True Friend from the Holiday Mini. I wanted this set when I saw it but I have Fabulous Flowers so I thought I should wait for True Friend but sheesh...actually having a card made with this set in my house makes me want it even more! Maybe I'll see if anyone is ready to trade their set off. Oh, and look at that large eyelet! Isn't that just the coolest thing since sliced bread? I've been wanting some of those too and just have put it off on my orders in favor of other things. Some day, I'm tellin' ya! And beautiful fall colors including the gorgeous Apple Cider Designer paper...gotta love it!

Thanks for checking in everyone! Have a super fantastic Friday! I hope everyone is attending a World Card Making Day event tomorrow and if not...my house 1:00 p.m. BE HERE!!! :o)

Smile on your face!

Good Thursday morning everyone! I have a little something to show you this morning that I made for my Halloweeneee sister. It is a mini clipboard. It is 2"x3" and decorated with SU!'s Creepy Crawly DP and then I used the set Batty For You to decorate it with. I love the saying...You light up the place with that smile on your face. Who wouldn't like receiving something like this? Oh, the cool thing is that it is on a key chain. Not sure I'd use it as a key chain as the clip part is easily bent but it is still cute! I'll go post this on SCS, come back, and then you can click HERE to see what all I used to make it!

I'm heading to Yakima today and one place I'm going to stop is Craft Warehouse. I'm so excited! I'm looking for some little brass hinges for another project for my Halloweeneee sister! :o)

Anyway, have a great day and I'll catch ya'll tomorrow!

I got free rubber!

I forgot to tell you guys that I signed up for a free stamp set HERE and I won! Woohoo! Actually, my chances were pretty good because I think they gave away 1,000 sets! I'm really looking forward to using this set and I'll definitely show you what I do but right now...I HAVE to work on getting my swap finished for Regional's . Also, I have to do a couple of things to put into my Secret Halloweenee Sister's box. I signed up for this fun swap on SCS and I just need to finish it up because I need to get it out in the mail. I can't believe how fast time goes! It seems that yesterday I had 2 weeks to get my package out! LOL! I'll make sure you see what I send for that too!

Have a fantastic Wednesday!

Man Made Card

Nope not by my DH but you are gonna love it anyway! MAN MADE CARD

Goin' to Regionals!

Hey, everyone! I've got lots of info for ya! First, my upline and I are going to the Stampin' Up! Regionals in Portland on Oct 12th and 13th. I'm so stinkin' excited! Here is a card I'm thinking of taking for the swaps that will be going at a frenzied pace!!! I've been told that it is not the best idea to use non-SU! products on the card (the scalloped punches) so I'll change that and I'll probably make the vertical strip a little thinner but this is it AND I love it! Whatcha all think?
