Retro Week Garden Silhouettes and Vintage Wallpaper

I had forgotten how much I love this stamp set and textured embossing folder.  So much fun to pull them out again! I thought that it would be fun to use my retired denim ribbon but, in spite of the name, the denim ribbon did not match the color!  LOL!

Happy stamping!

Weekend Video Pretty Pocket Card Kit

Sorry...I was exhausted from a busy week and totally spaced on posting over the weekend.  I am upstairs in my stamping nook working on this week's Retro week of stamping so check back tomorrow for the first card in my series.  I had lots of positive feedback about last month's retro week so it will be a permanent feature for awhile.  Maybe I can Julie in on it?

Happy stamping!

Hey Chick card for club

This morning it dawned on me that the end of the month was sneaking up on me and that club was this week.  February always throws me off because it is such a short month.  LOL!  I was lazy yesterday and just enjoyed the day and rested up from a busy week last week but now I am wishing that I had spent an hour or two prepping for club.  Silly Stefanie!

Saturday Video Celebration Duos

Happy Saturday!  Today is gorgeous and I have enjoyed walking the dog several times already.  I have a big pot of potato soup in the crock pot and whipped up some yummy paleo goodies for me (chicken soup and cinnamon chia seed pudding).  I am going to chill now because my week so incredibly busy and Sunday is still to come.  I have to admit, so many of my friends are home sick with the strep that it makes me hesitant to go anywhere.  LOL!

Enjoy the video and enjoy the sunshine!

Dragonfly Dreams Card #4

This card is the product of too much time on Pinterest today.  LOL!  I CASED a bunch of ideas and this was the end result.  I am excited to try one on Monday with some great neutrals and a shabby chic feel.  I am definitely having fun with this bundle.  Need...more...time...

Happy stamping!

Dragonfly Dreams #3 Card

Check back on Friday for another Dragonfly Dreams card for my upcoming stamp camp.  I have been having a blast checking out Pinterest and the internet for inspiration on these cards.  I saw a similar card and just tweaked a few things to make it my own. 

Happy stamping!

Dragonfly Dreams #2 Stamp Camp Card

Hello!  I missed posting yesterday because I was not at home to stamp.  My hubby works for Veterans United Home Loans and they treated spouses and significant others (over 22 years does qualify me to be a significant person in his life..lol) to a nice lunch in a banquet hall.  After lunch I went to sit with Grandma at the hospital but she is heading home now.  Hooray!  After school today (love home school because we started early and will be done early) we are heading over to drop off some soups.

I CASED this card here and then added a few fun changes for my card.


If you are interested in stamp camp give me a holler!  I am considering adding a few more cards to the camp so the card count might go up.

Happy stamping!

Saturday Video Up and Away Thinlits dies

I had so much fun stamping with friends at a party this morning.  It rush, rush, rush though for the rest of the day.  I left the party to go walk the dog and then head to see a family member in the hospital and then back past the house in the opposite direction to pick up the kiddos from a "play date" with friends.  I am going to sleep hard tonight!  LOL!  I am hoping to have a few minutes for fun on Monday so that I can post another dragonfly card but that would require time to stamp.  Crossing my fingers and toes!  If I don't post on Monday then check back on Tuesday.  I definitely deserve time to stamp on Valentine's Day!  (-:



Happy stamping!

My Retro Week/ Hardwood and Harvest Blessings

Hello!  This week is my retro week and I am pulling out retired sets to stamp up some cards.  I love this masculine birthday card and found my inspiration on Pinterest.

On a different note...I discovered that I have a Hardwood set in my retired stamps and one in my current stamps.  Grr...can't believe I did that crazy stunt!  If you know of anyone who would like a discounted Hardwood set let me know.  (-:
