Valentine Workshop

Here is another Valentine we did at that workshop. This one took a little more time because of all the layers. It was more involved, more layers and more pieces.

Stamps used were beyond the basics, wee watercolors from one of the hostess sets a couple of years ago,Tags so much set all from SU, A heart stamp which I picked up from Michael's a long time ago bf becoming a SU Demo.

Inks use were Rose Red classic stamping pad from SU

Cardstock used were Glossy White, Basic Black, Pretty in Pink, and Rose Red. SU

Accssories used were Got flowers from Target, Black gingham ribbon from a craft store, gold brads from SU.

Well Hello,

It's been a little while. I was suppose to go to class today but she cancelled it. It was a pleasant surprise so that gives me time to upload the cards we made at my Valentine's Day theme workshop from Sat which ended up pretty good considering we had a bit of snow that morning.

This is one of the cards we made. I love the combo of red and white and absolutely love the polka dots from the Polka Dots and Paisley set we recieved at Christmas time.

This card was made using shimmery white cardstock, love this paper, real red cs,
Ink was Real red spot and craft whisper white. Stamps used was polka Dots and paisley, loving hearts, red gingham ribbon, and the ticket punch. Very simple to make and not much mess. All proucts from Stampin' Up!

Just thoughts

It's been awhile, Haven't had much to talk a bout lately.I have a workshop tomorrow which is just about ready to go, cardstock has been cut an refrshments have been bought. I have three people that are coming, all RSVP's had to be in today. I had 5 that couldn't make it, and about 5 who didn't respond either way I will assume they aren't coming. A little discouraged. Well anyways the workshop will go on and we will be making 2 Valentine's Day cards and a Valentine's day topper to go onto a baggie filled with Hershey Kisses. I will post the pictures of our projects soon. Have a great night. Til next time

Dreary Day

Today is a dark dreary day and the weather is blah we' re due for freezing rain and sleet and boy is it cold. Today is an important ball game so we will be in tuned to the Patriots later on. Not really a football fan but I do like it when we start to get to the playoffs for the Superbowl, I guess you can call me a fair weather fan besides when you live with a husband and two boys you learn to enjoy the game. It's not so bad. It's a good day to stay in. Later I will do some stamping.

Tomorrow it's back to work . The kids are off from school so they get to sleep in lucky them. Hopefully th roads will be o.k. to travel on by tomorrow morning.

I'm expecting my big SU order tomorrow also, I hope it will still get to me. I can't wait. I'll be able to play after work possibly and then I have Tuesday off. Also I have a couple of 40% coupons for Michaels. I really want to get a cuttlebug with one of them and the other I could pick up a couple of the plates or folders that are used with it. Is it hard to work with? Any advice would be appreciated. I've seen so many beautiful creations using it . It kind of looks complicated.

I really want to get some things on my blog page also. I would love to have a calendar and still need to learn how to add links. I would love to put a photo in my profile also but have no clue how to. Tried it a few times but had no luck. Well time for kick off til next time, thanks for stopping by.

Supplies will be on time

Today I finally got confirmation rom SU that my huge order will be arriving on the 15th . Glad to know this because I need some of the supplies for my workshop that I will be having on Sat. Jan 27. I was getting a little nervous.Whew

It's late il next time, tanks for stopping in.

Stamping again an loving it.

We are into a week of the New Year and now it's time to focus on my Stampin' Up business again. It's an exciting time for Stampin' Up! It's sell-a-bration time this means a chance to recieve free product with every $50.00 purchase. You'll love the six sets to choose from.

My first workshop of the year will be January 27. for more info check out my SU web site at http://4everstampingpam.stampinup.net for times and place. It will be a lot of fun, we will be foccussing on Valentine's Day projects. I sure hope all my supplies come in on time or I will have to slightly change my ideas.

Well I have finally had time to stamp again. I'm so excited. Right now I am finishing up my step daughter's wedding photos that they had sent us. I always find scrapbooking a challenge, I'm not real quick to come up with ideas for this. I need practice. It taks me a long time to finish just one page. One of my New Year's Resolutions I think will be to start including a scrapbook page into some of my workshops and Technique classes that I hold once a month. Who knows maybe I'll reach some new people who would prefer to do scrap booking. Til next time, thanks for reading.

Playing wih colors and new stamp set

I got this stamp set for a Christmas present from SU and wanted to play. So this is what I came up with while playing with new set and experimenting with some colors. I think it came out pretty well considering I was just fiddling around while hubby watches the football games.

I used cool carribean,pink passion, black and glossy white cardstock. Ink was pink passion. Black gingham ribbon dimsionals all from SU. The prima was from Target. I love these primas. Need to get more. Pretty simple to create, cutting the panels took a little time but not too much.
Technique was DTP.

Hope you enjoy, thanks for visiting and ave a good night. Til next time.

High School Musical coming to Samost

Well my son as been in auditions for High School musical which the samoset school in Leominster,Ma will be doing. He's been auditioning since Tues. Finally today they got the results. He tried out for the part of Ryan but didn't get that one but he did get the part of Zeek. He is thrilled and I'm so happy for him. He really needs this to boost his self esteem. He gets teasd and made fun of a lot in school from other kids and he has been depressed. He was a straight A student and his marks have gone down. Maybe this will help him get back on track. Here's hoping anyway. I'm just excited for him. Til next time.

Oh there's where my smiley ended up. I just tried to use Smiley Central. It' not exactly where I wanted it but it will do. I'll have to practice with hat a little more.

Happy New Year to all

Happy New Year!


The beginning of a New Year. I'm so excited because I just put in a big order to Stampin' Up this afternoon. It's like another Chistmas he he. Now I have to sit and wait, and from what I've read there is a slight delay on shipping, oh well.

Got some stamping time in last night. I love the polka dots and paisley stamp set that I recieved from SU. It's really versatile.

Went to Target tonight with my hubby because we had recieved a gift card for Christmas and we got some things, then I made the mistake of going into the scrapbooking section and found Primas. I was so excited. I didn't own any and loved them and was wandering where I could get some. Now I do own some. There were so many diferent colors in bottles it must have taken me a half hour to decide. I was narrowed down to the aquas, pale yellow, a lt green and a white or an olive green, burgandy,pink, and a rose. I chose the aquas, pale yellow, white, and lt green but then had second thoughts and just decided to get both lol. oh well. There are also some bright ones which i'm probably going to have to go back and get before they are gone.

Well just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year. Til next time.
