Wacky Wednesday

I'm so excited to share with you a card that you can do at our next Stamp A Stack. 

You may be wondering what is the difference between a Stamp Camp and a Stamp A Stack.

Stamp Camp

You are making 10 difference cards that have more elements to them. 

Stamp A Stack

You are making 20 cards; 5 different cards 4 of each.  Very simple to do, the elements have already been die cut out or if the embossing folder is used it is done for you!


Here is a card for our next Stamp A Stack which will be held November 21-22.  At this Stamp A Stack we are offering both Christmas and All Occasion...

Here is one of the All Occasion one.....

 

Here is one of the Christmas ones....

Terrific Tuesday

Stamp Camp is only 10 days away....I'm so excited I just have to share with you another sneak peak of one of the cards.

Its a gift card holder...using the Top Note Die (oldie but a goodie)...so cute.

And of course here is the finished product....the trees are stamped with the All Is Calm Designer Series Paper and of course we had to add a little bling with the Frosted Embellishments.

I hope you can come and bring your friends it should be a fun time.

Monthly Stamp Club

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  I wanted to give you a little sneak peak of one of the cards we will be doing at our monthly stamp club.

You may be wondering how the monthly stamp club work.  Well its pretty simple...you commit to come to stamp club for a minimum of four months and spend only $20 then......you come to my house and stamp three cards and get a little "treat" when you are done AND one of those four months you co-host a Stampin' Up party and receive the hostess benefits!  How simple is that.  Club is typically held the first week of the months, but the date/times are very flexible.  Well here is the sneak peak of one of the cards.

 

We will be using the new Under the Tree Specialty Designer Paper....we will also use the star framelits....can't wait for Club.

VA Project

On a personal note, my Mom and Dad were married almost 67 years when my Mom died in 2010.  My dad was so lonely it was so hard to see him like that, after about a year, he realized that he needed to get out with people and we were able to enroll him the VA Adult Day Health Care Program (ADHC)....what a blessing!  He met so many wonderful people.  One day he called me and told me that there were some high school kids who came and visited with them, they did crafts, played bingo and just talked to them....HE LOVED IT.  I immediately had to find out what school, I was so surprised when I heard it was through the Area Learning Center.  I knew when I retired that I wanted to give back to all the people that helped my parents....so I contacted the head of the program and started my volunteering with the program.  When I walk into the ADHC I have such a wonderful time with these guys, they appreciate everything we do for them, but if they only knew how much they did for our family, especially our Dad! 

So.....one of our projects this month is Veterans Day...WOW this is such a special day because we remember all of our Veterans and I'm so proud to say that my Dad was one.  For those of you that knew my Dad he was maybe a little rough around the edges, but he loved his family, country and his God and for that I'm very thankful.  He was proud to have served his country during WWII and proudly wore his Purple Heart. 

This weekend, my sister Brenda and I are prepping for the projects we are die cutting the stars and then next week one day I will go to the Area Learning Center to work with the students gluing the stars together....then on Friday November 7th, we will go out to the ADHC and finish the stars and play some bingo....what an honor to not only work with these students, but to spend a few hours with our Veterans.

Here is the finished product.

They can either hang the stars in their rooms or stand them up....My friend Lynell helped me come up with this idea...then I called my sister Brenda and she volunteered to help prep them...what a wonderful time we will have at the lake prepping for this and remembering "Dad".
