Blossoming Basket Bundle card for Club

Hello!  Today is club day and I am so excited!  Thursday was a crazy, crazy day but we are all done with standardized testing for the year and everyone is getting over the sinus issues.  Phew!

Can I just say that this was a super fun and easy card?  On a whim I pulled out the epoxy dots and colored them with the green Blends marker.  Very cool!

Happy stamping!

Beautiful Peacock Brusho Card for Club




Hello!  Today is a red letter day because I had THREE student bookings for online tutoring this morning.  When I went to bed I had two slots booked but woke up to a third booked!  Hooray!  I am now a VIPKID teacher and teach ESL (English as a second language) online now.  So much fun and the hours won't interfere with home schooling or stamping.  Can anyone say, "Having cake and eating it too?"  LOL!  Click here if you are interested.

I had to use the Peacock even though Sale-a-bration is almost over!  It looks stunning with the Brusho background.  I prepped this card with 11th grade English running in the background and heard a class recite "The Road Less Traveled"...in case you want ambiance for this post.  LOL!

I was a bit tired when I prepped this card today (too much Adrenalin to sleep) so I decided to change the  CS from Navy to Denim.  When I looked at this blog post for inspiration I realized that it had magically "changed" to agree with me!  Wow!  Am I amazing, or what?  <insert laughing emoji>

Stamps:  Beautiful Peacock (free during Sale-a-bration)
Colors:  Berry Burst, Tranquil Tide, Dapper Denim, Shimmery White (CS)
Supplies:  Big Shot, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Linen thread, Brusho, spritzers

Happy stamping!

Weekend Video Cake Soiree

Click here to see a video
I am back in the saddle again!  Hooray!  I am sitting here with my stamping peeps at Stamp Camp while they stamp their little hearts out and I prep posts for my blog.  Last week was Missions Conference at our church and we hosted my very good friend Marcy and her family at our house.  The Conference was amazing and such a blessing.  This past week I was catching up on sleep, teaching, housework and prepping my stamp camp projects.  Next week I will be posting my club projects and I have cards from Julie as well. 

Happy stamping!

Amazing Friend Card

My friend Paula  made this super cute card for club this month!  It was so much fun to sit and to stamp a project that was not my creation; it nudges me towards stamps/goodies that I would not normally purchase but then love.

Happy stamping!
