Stamping in your Scrapbook page

I don't have a card for you today but do have a great article written by a fellow demonstrator from the Business Stampers Coaching Group: Stamping in your scrapbook pages – by Angela Anderson – Independent SU Demo When I first started scrapbooking, I had to have every single patterned paper and sticker I set my eyes on. I had to have all the latest designs and everything cute. I… Read More »

Dogwoods

   I used the stamp Christmas Rose from a Christmas Cardinal Stamp Set to make my dogwoods.   Don't you think they look a little like dogwoods??  The dogwoods are out around our area and they are beautiful!  I was going to take some pictures to share but it's been raining – maybe tomorrow.  Recipe: Stamp Set:  Christmas Cardinal Paper:  Whisper White, Natural White, Certainly Celery Ink:  Black Stazon Accessories:  Stampin'… Read More »

An Egg-cellent Easter

I made these holders for my grandchildren, David 10, Felicia 8 and Rachel 2 1/2.  I bet you can guess who will receive which candy holder.  They are like the ones I made for Teacher Appreciation Week.   After making the 1st two candy holders, the next 3 went pretty fast. I didn't really want to give the kids candy (or a lot of candy) so I thought the Hershey bars… Read More »

You’ve been tagged!

New crazy game of tag.  You get tagged, pick the 6th folder in your photo gallery, pick the 6th picture in that folder, add to your blog with a description. This picture was taken about a month ago.  If the grandkids maintain good grades (A's & B's) through the semester, we celebrate by taking them out to dinner (restaurant of their choosing).  This time they chose the Red Lobster. So… Read More »

Teacher Treats

Today's post includes two candyholders I made for my grandchildren to take to their teachers since it is Teacher Appreciation Week.  I cannot remember where I got the template for this box, but it was about a week ago.  Sorry I cannot give credit to the original owner.  I had to modify the box (made it larger) because the candy I bought (Hershey Bars) did not fit into the original box. … Read More »

Age Happens

  It's time again for the Emerson girls!  I love these images!  They are by Emerson and are from the American Art Stamp website.  At least, that where I buy them because they have a large selection.  I know that they are also available at Hobby Lobby but they only have two or three of them and for the last couple of years, it's been the same three. The image was… Read More »
