Just a quick note today....the box I made yesterday is the same box I made back in MAY for my good friends Connie and Dawn. So, if you were of the ladies that asked me for the template, the box I posted yesterday is the same one from May. There are some similiar boxes on SCS, but this box is not one of those. You can click here to see the post in May.
See ya later!

This is my new Christmas Card set that I'm making for the booth that's coming up. Except one little change, I'll stamp the Peaceful Wishes right on the River Rock cardstock, instead of putting it on Vanilla. When I realized I needed to change that I coudn't because I used Sticky Strip.
Anyway, as I mentioned earlier, Jan and Dawn E. both volunteered to create the template for us. Thanks a bunch girls!! Here it is, Angie's Gift Card Box. If you make one, let me know so I can check it out. I made a little change on this one, I created the belly band so you can slide it up and down to open or close the box. That was the one thing driving me crazy about this box was using adhesive and then ruining the box for future use. (I attached the image with Dimensionals so the band could slide.)
So, what do you think of the photo???? So sweet isn't it??
Have a great day & Thanks for stopping by!!
Stamps: Peaceful Wishes, Ink: River Rock & Always Artichoke, Cardstock: River Rock, Always Artichoke, Very Vanilla & Le Jardin Designer Paper (pg 171) Tools & Accessories: Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon, Linen Thread, Dimensionals, DD Glitter, 2 way glue pen, River Rock Double Stitched Ribbon, Sponge, Template for Box (see above)

My final creation for my Stamp a Stack! We had a great time last night the ladies loved all the cards. It took a little more than 2 hours for some but that's still good considering they made 13 cards.
The next picture is of all four cards they made. The red and green card is cased, but again I tweaked it a little. Do you agree with me that someone casing you is a compliment? That has been a heated conversation on some websites...me personally, I think it's a major compliment!! (especially if they mention my name...hee hee)
Later I'm going to share with you a box I sent to Dawn and she had some friends create a template for us. Super cool, I wish I knew how to do that. I know several of you ask how I made the box & all I could say was I traced it. Now I have a template but I first need to figure out how to add it here.
Remember me telling you about the candy bar that Julie gave me? Well, here it is.....isn't it the most awesome thing ever?? She is soooo creative & a sweetheart of a person!! Thanks again Julie, I'll keep him forever..hee hee
The next picture I'm sharing is 2 wonderful cards from Rose Ann, they are so cute and I was so thrilled when I opened the envelope!! I can't wait to make one of them. Thanks Rose Ann!!!
Thanks for stopping by!!

Good morning!!
This is the 2nd card for my Stamp a Stack...isn't it pretty? But, I can not take credit for it. I cased most of it from Sharon.
Gotta make this fast today, still need one more project for my class tonight.
Tomorrow I'll share my beautiful cards from Rose Ann and my candy bar from Julie!!
Have a great day!!

Good Morning!!
I bet you're all waiting to hear how I did on my yard sale, aren't ya??? I sold exactly what I prayed for...isn't that soooo amazing? I've had that happen many times but it never ceases to amaze me when it does. This year has been so expensive, seems like everything has needed fixing or replacing, including my body (hee hee)...fyi, lost 5.6 pounds when I weighed in at WW this week....yippie!! Anyway so we had the yard sale to make some money to pay off my new computer, I sold the exact amount to the very dollar, do you have chill bumps too? (I have to share, I did not pray for tax or the extra software I had to purchase, but hey I'm not complaining!!!)
I need to shout out a huge thank you to my wonderful customers and downline that came by and shopped!! And a super big thank you to Sandra for bringing me lunch and just being here to keep me company!! Thanks & I love you all!!!
Okay now that I've typed enough to cover the top of the page, I have to share the card I came up with last night for my Stamp a Stack on Tuesday. RED FLAG....if you're signed up for my class and want to be surprised...look no further!!!
I love love love simple & elegant cards!! What do you think? It's kinda hard to see the glitter but it's there.
This week I'll share with ya more of my yard sale goodies but I need to get thru my Christmas Stamp a Stack first.
List to do on my blog...share tutorial on candy bars...share the candy bar Julie gave me last week...share my RAKS and promote my Christmas Tin Class I'm having on National Card Making Day!!!
Have a great Sunday!!

Good morning stampers!!
My club girls get a gift from me the night of their workshop and this pack of cards and jar of candy was for Maria.
I was totally surprised when she whipped out a gift for me!!
Can you tell what it is? Isn't it soooo cute!!!!! This one is a pumpkin but can't you see an apple out of this! I've got to run out and get some red fabric!!! I can't sew a lick so I gotta find someone to make a leaf!!! Thanks again Maria!!!!
The last picture is a gift that I gave to all my club girls. It's a sample of all our cardstock, along with labels on the back. I need to have one in my purse and one in my car!!!
Another crazy busy day....getting ready for my yard sale, took all my retired stamps to the garage last night, I'm also stamping some goodies to put out there. FYI, I decided last night I'm marking the sets down more. I had priced them at 30% off but I need to sell them so I'm marking them down even more!!!! I'm also selling all my retired designer paper for a quarter a sheet. I have five years worth of retired paper!!! If you came to my open house, just wanted you to know I'm slashing those prices with a red marker today!!!
Thanks for checking in, have a great day!!!

Good Morning!!
Last night was my first club night and it went great!! Thanks Ladies!!
Quick reminder..... "Christmas Stamp a Stack" next Tuesday, please register as soon as possible.
This picture doesn't do this box justice!! It's really cute in person! It was demo'd at Convention as a 9 x 9 box but this one is 8 1/4 x 8 1/4 and score on all four sides at 2 3/4. Then score the four corner pieces from one corner to the other (I used a ruler and a stylus). Here's a picture of the back.....
You could add a handle but I thought it would be cute to leave it off.
Have a great Tuesday!!
Project Details: Stamps: Haunting Halloween Ink: Black Stazon Cardstock: Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie & Whisper White Tools & Accessories: Crop a dile, Pumpkin Brads, Watercolor Pencils, Sponges, Dimensionals, Blender Pen

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!

This was everygthing the girls made at my Halloween Treats Class. I know you've seen most of them but there's a couple I haven't shared. The box you see, I pretty much cased it! Why reinvent the wheel, if it's already perfect!! The two pins you see, are just darling and I wore the one with the ribbon all day at the booth I worked. The last item I hadn't shared, was the Trident gum holder (the skull and cross bones project). Anyway it was a fun class since I love Halloween and all the ladies loved them. Now I'm gonna make some of these goodies for my Yard Sale next week!!
Have a great Saturday!!! (p.s. I posted the picture of Brook and I on yesterdays post)
Here's some cards I received this week......
This first card is from Cari, thank you so much for sending a Halloween card, I think it's my most favorite holiday. Very cute card!!!
The next card is from Allison...thank you so much for such a pretty card. A huge thank you also for posting my tutorials on your blog and sending your friends my way. I had a goal to reach the "Top 100 blogs" and I reached it yesterday. Thanks a million!!

Isn't this the cutest!!!! I just love this idea and couldn't wait to share it with ya!
This is one of those black clips that we all have in our office, just turn it upside down and clip whatever you'd like on top. As you can see it will even hold a photo. This fall I plan on using it for Thanksgiving...check back later to see it!!
This picture is a really old photo of Brook but it's one that I had duplicates, doesn't she look cute. All my friends know that I dress up every year for Halloween, several times Brook and I have dressed the same....the best year was when we both went as a Bichon (my fingers hurt for days making those costumes). I'll look for that photo and share it with ya!!

Today's card is one of the cards that was in the booth that I worked on Friday. A group of us worked different shifts and I took several pictures to share. This is a set I keep resisting, but I still want to buy it!!
Not sure who made this card, but I really like it!
Have a great day!!
p.s. please tell me is my font to big now? was it to small before? with this 20" computer screen everything looks so small.
3pm update....I just created an album, named it Old Settlers and uploaded several of the cards. Check back in a couple days and I'll have more. I've figured out how to resize the cards but that's about it.

This Christmas Tin will be my project for National Card Making Day. We'll make this tin along with a few cards to go inside. The date is Oct. 6th, 11am to 2pm. You must preregister and prepay by Sept. 29th. Space is limited to twelve people. I'll post more details soon or you can check out my calendar on my Stampin' Up! website!!
What would we do without friends? I would be sooo lost. I've worked on and off all day on this computer trying to figure out how to get my watermark on this picture. Then Rose Ann, emails me and tells me to send her my picture and watermark and she'll send it back fixed...and here it is. Rose Ann, thanks a million!!!!!! Honestly, I can't thank you enough! I decided earlier today that I would just buy a new watermark and have already ordered it. I'm hoping that it will be easier that way. FYI, I checked on a class to learn Windows Vista today...are you ready for the cost???? $149 for a one day class...oh well, guess I'll stay in the dark...I also checked on a class for Photoshop...I think it was $82....but it was a online class and I'm not sure I can learn that way. We'll see, it may be worth it!
Giving credit where credit is due......I got this tin idea from my wonderful downline Jennifer. I posted the pictures a month or so ago...she used the Broque Motiffs...do you remember it? Well, after I got my new designer paper, I was thinking...Dashing would make a great tin class. But, as you will see, Corinne beat me to the punch. Thanks Corinne for your wonderful creations, I love checking them out everyday, even if I can't always post a comment. I'm so happy we've become friends. It's so funny because earlier this week she posted an idea she got from me and I was already working on this....great minds think alike!!!
Thanks for stopping by!!

I need help....I loaded Photoshop Elements 5.0...but I can't figure out how to add a watermark or add TEXT...I promised I would add a turorial this weekend but I can't do it without adding the text on the photo. Can anyone help me?
Here's what I need
1. How to add my watermark that Cindy made me a few months ago. (I used Gimp on my old computer but it was a free software and I didn't care for it.)
2. How do I add text to the picture?
I'd be happy to send you a card or two if you can help me. I tried reading the manaul but it doesn't mention watermarks.
Thanks a bunch!!! (I can add another picture without my watermark but I don't want to break the rule about Stampin' Up! images.)
Have a great Sunday!!
For all the new girls checking out my blog...I usually post a picture everyday....but with this new computer it may take me a few days to get going again!
