~ Merry Christmas! ~

This little pretty was inspired by a fellow demonstrator Barbara Gonzales! I Love how sparkly this card is! The Stampin' Up! Winter Wonder snowflake embossing folder was tucked up way in the upper left corner and then brushed over with Wink of Stella clear pen. We have some pretty gold doilies, gold sequins and such pretty ribbon!

Merry and Bright! So colorful and done so very easily with our beautiful Stampin' Up! designer Christmas card stock Quilted Christmas! A very versatile card layout! Stamp Set used is Hearts Come Home and pretty red sparkly ribbon...all Stampin' Up! quality!

Blue Bells! Created with the oh so very cute Stampin" Up! Bell Punch and some silver and dazzling diamonds card stock.

Those are my shares for today! Not cooking for Thanksgiving this year at our home. We are invited to a dear friend of ours home and Ken is making a delicious potato gratin dish.

We do have a fun weekend ahead of us though with visiting with one of my son's and Chelsea our little sweetheart doggie has a birthday party to attend...along with her mom and dad.

Hope you get some fun stamping time in the next few days!

Til next time...

Happy Stampin'...

~ Stampin Up OnStage Roomie Gifts ~

Happy Wednesday!

Today's share are some roomie gifts that I shared with my roommate Ellen while at the Stampin Up OnStage Event in Salt Lake City last week.

This Daisy Delight stamp set is so very pretty and versatile and I adore the Delightful Daisy designer paper that coordinates with it too. Ok...so I love flowers...well...you know why? I live in Phoenix, AZ, the Desert Southwest and flowers. well...although the desert can be quite beautiful at times, well I have tried to no avail to grow flowers and have not succeeded, and so I turn to my beautiful Stampin Up sets with flowers galore!

Calendars are a weakness of mine, I must admit. Everywhere I look in my craft studio, I can see a calendar...LOL! Anyone else share my fetish? 

And if you are reading this far down my post, please leave a comment and I will choose someone to send a lovely hand crafted Stampin Up card to! I will contact you privately when you have been chosen to gather your mailing information.

Thank you for visiting my blog today.

Stampin' Up! makes me Happy and I hope it does the same for you!

Happy Stampin!

~ Stampin Up On Stage Swap 2017 ~

What a whirlwind the past few weeks have been! All wonderfully Good! My brother-in-law and his wife stayed with us for a few days and it felt as if my dear husband and I were on vacation with them.

We ran around a bit and enjoyed their company very much! One evening we listened to some oldies but goodies music and songs which brought back a flood of memories for all of us!

Meanwhile, I was getting ready for Stampin Up OnStage. It had been three or four years since I attended a Live event and I was so very excited to go this time. I was working on swaps for a few weeks prior and so thoroughly enjoyed the little mermaid card that I created for an event that is hosted by my up-up line Barbara Welch. It was entitled "Swap in Your PJ's" ! Each of us were required to make 36 card fronts and you would not believe all of the pretty cards that I received in return. 

Stamps: Magical Mermaid

Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Tempting Turquoise, Bermuda Bay, Blushing Bride, Memento Black

Paper: Tempting Turquoise, Island Indigo, Shimmery White, Copper, Basic Black

Misc: Basic Pearls, Copper Trim Ribbon, Ruffled Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder

Well...there you have today's share! Stay tuned because I have lots of fun things that I received at 

OnStage and I am planning on attending another OnStage Event this coming April 2018 in

beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada! If you are interested, I would be more than happy to share how you too may join in the festivities and fun with me and about 2,000 of my favorite Stampin Up friends!!!

Luv ya Lots!

Happy Stampin'!
