UdderlyAwesome Stamping From The Heart

LAST DAY TO ORDER OUT OF THE CURRENT STAMPIN' UP! CATALOG! Plus the new In-Color bookmark that everyone coming to my Open House on Saturday will be making!

The new In-Colors for 2012-2014 are stunning!

It will be fun to see which ones are going to be our favorites!

So far I have worked with Gumball Green and Midnight Muse and LOVE them both!

The In-Colors have been made in the new Foam Pads, of course!

Click here to place an on-line order if you still want to make sure that you have everything that you would like to have out of the current catalog.

Sets are available.  Accessories will be hit and miss.

Thank you for stopping by!

Hope to see many of you at the Open House this Saturday from 10:00-2:00 p.m.!!!

Fun Flowers make a really cute gift card holder! Doesn't this say "You're Special"!

I'm giving three of these away at my Open House this coming Saturday.

You can write a note  to go down into the Petite Pocket Folder or stick a little gift inside.

I would LOVE to have one these sitting in my kitchen or my desk at work!

There is no great mystery as to how to put this together.  You're just using Fun Flowers and the Petite Pocket Bigz Dies, along with the Floral Fusion and Beautiful Butterflies Sizzlets and the Polka Dot embossing Folder.  I used Tangerine Tango,  and Daffodil Delight and Whisper white c/s.  I used the 1/4" circle punch first and then punched over the hole with the 1/2" circle punch to create the little circle for the top of the gift card along with Daffodil Deight Seam Binding.

The stick(Skewers for shish-ka-bobs) is stuck onto the back of the petite pocket with Sticky Strip. I'm going to add some Tangerine Tango Scalloped Ribbon to this before Saturday once my order arrives . 

 

If you live close enough to Duarte to stop by on Saturday, I'll look forward to having you drop in!

Thank you for stopping by!

Celebrating Grandpa's Birthday

Brad, Shelly, the kids, and I get together each year for lunch to remember Dave's birthday.  Last week was busy and a little bit complicated so we didn't have a day that Brad could join us.

So Shelly and the kids and I got together to remember husband, dad, and grandpa!

Thank you for stopping by!

Remembering...

My husband passed away in December of 2009 from Alzheimers.

Today would have been his 68th birthday.

I am enjoying remembering his love for the Lord, and me, and his children, and so many others.

He had such a corny sense of humor but he actually told a few jokes that I thought were funny and laughed at for 34 1/2 years!

You have to understand that my husband was a HUGE UCLA fan!  Here is one of his jokes that I still laugh about!

This takes place at the USC gradutation.  Bubba is a student who has been having some struggles with graduating.  So as he walks across the stage, the chancellor says, "Bubba, if you can spell the word DIPLOMA, you will be able to graduate". 

So Bubba scratches his head and starts to spell...D...I....P...L...O...M...A...  

And immediately a chant rose up fromt the USC student body, "Give him another chance!  Give him another chance!"

No offense to any USC fans:)

 

Have a great day and thank you for stopping by!

Could there be some money in this?

Just in time for Father's Day!

It certainly looks real enough, doesn't it!  BUT... It's just a pretty face!

Marie Leyva, took this idea from our monthly Stampin' Up! magazine and did a fabulous job recreating it.

Marie didn't put an inside to it other than white c/s, but you could easily add a gift card or simply stamp a saying.  I love it!

This would be so easy to remake into your own colors to make DSP that you have on hand!

Supplies:

• Stamps: #125467 Loved Ones (2012 Occasions Mini)  Retired.  You can use an alphabet to create "DAD" in place of this stamp if you do not have the set.
• Card Stocks:  Chocolate Chip, white,
• Designer Series Paper:  #122359 Well Worn pg 185 (RETIRING May 30th)
• Punches:#119849 Modern Label pg 209;  #119855 Large Oval pg 212; #119871 Corner Rounder pg 212;
• Other Accessories:  #105021 White Gel Pen pg 203;

Notes:  The wallet is an 11"x 4 1/4" piece of c/s folded in half.  The DSP is 5"x 1 1/2".

Thank you for stopping by!

I will be back to posting project pictures on Thursday

I had 16 people for Stamp-a-Stack on Monday and then I babysit all day for my daughter today so there has just been no time for stamping or posting.

Classes were a LOT of fun and getting to play with my grandchildren today was awesome....tiring...but awesome!  Yes, I am ready for bed early tonight!

The weather was beautiful for swimming today. Here are Jeremy (lft) and Joshua (rt). Jaelyn was in there, too, having fun:)

Thank you for stopping by!

It's Sunday! Am I stamping or playing?

That's easy!  I'm playing!

My niece's little boy, Joshua, is celebrating his first birthday!

Let the good times roll!!!

So after church a group of us headed out to a local park.

He is adorable and just beginning to take a few steps.

Here are mom and dad:  Dan and Heidi

And here are Heidi and Joshua.

And there was an adorable little dog at the party that ended up with the party balloons around his neck.

Thank you for stopping by!

 

Do you think that this tasted as good as it looks?!?! Celebrating May Birthdays!

Earlier this month, Mary Urspringer made  one of these Triple Chocolate Mousse for each one of us in the Wednesday night Stamp Club.  She put a LOT of time and effort into each one!
