  A Joke

 

Get A Few Chuckles From These Church-Going Kiddos

After the christening of his baby brother in church, Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car. His father asked him three times what was wrong. Finally, the boy replied, "That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home, and I wanted to stay with you guys."

I had been teaching my three-year-old daughter, Caitlin, the Lord's Prayer. For several evenings at bedtime, she would repeat after me the lines from the prayer. Finally, she decided to go solo. I listened with pride as she carefully enunciated each word, right up to the end of the prayer: "Lead us not into temptation," she prayed, "but deliver us some E-mail. Amen."

Control Freaks Blog Hop - Holiday Mini SNEAK PEEK

Blog

 

Whoo Hoo - it's time for a blog hop! I'm so excited to be showing you some fabulous projects using the new Holiday Mini Catalog products!!! The new mini catalog goes live (meaning you can start ordering from it) on September 1st. I'd be happy to send you one if you don't have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator - just pop me an email at [email protected].

If you are arriving from Wendy Weixler's blog I'm sure you're thrilled you're hopping with us - she does fabulous work! If you're starting here on my blog - make sure you click on the NEXT button at the bottom to continue on the hop!

I had a little spooky fun with my new Halloween supplies! I used a bundle with a  stamp set called SPOOKY FUN and matching Edgelit dies called HALLOWEEN SCENES - when you bundle these two together you save 10% on your purchase. I chose to use the HALLOWEEN NIGHT SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER - you get 2 sheets of 5 double sided designs and 2 sheets that are single sided with silver foil embossing - OH MY!!!

As I was creating...I remembered that last fall when I was in St. George, Utah I found an adorable little box frame that says BOO...I went hunting for that because I knew that this designer series paper was perfect to put inside the box - isn't it cute???

 

Z7

 

My card base is Pumpkin Pie cut at 11 x 4-1/4 and scored at 5-1/2. I layered that with Elegant Eggplant 4 x 5-1/4 and Whisper White 3-3/4 x 5. The HALLOWEEN NIGHT DESIGNER SERIES WASHI TAPE, the HALLOWEEN NIGHT ENAMEL DOTS and the HALLOWEEN NIGHT BAKER'S TWINE contain all my favorite Halloween colors!

There's even a die for the witch on a broomstick - so I die cut her and popped her up on a dimensional. FUN right? The moon is Elegant Eggplant that I punched out and sponged with black ink. That makes it look a tiny bit spooky don't you think?

 

Z9

 

Both of these projects were super easy to make. A mini glue dot holds my baker's twine bow on the BOO shadow box and aren't those little pumpkins on the bottom adorable? Another easy embellishment - YEP - there's a die in the bundle for those cuties too! Make sure you keep your eyes open when you're out and about shopping so you can find some sweet little decor items that you can dress up with all these delightful Halloween embellishments - it really does turn your so-so decorations into something special!

 

Z10

I can't hardly wait to start decorating for the SPOOKY season - one of my favorites!

Thanks for hopping with me!

Serene Scenery - BEAUTIFUL CARDS!

DSCN8306

 

I promised you yesterday that I would be showing you some cards using the SERENE SCENERY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER STACK...and here they are!!!!

 

Z

 

I chose the THOUGHTFUL BRANCHES BUNDLE because I wanted some super easy cards - but I also wanted something a little vintage and elegant. The SERENE SCENERY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER STACK really fit the bill! You can't see it in these photos - but I covered the white hydrangeas in CLEAR WINK OF STELLA GLITTER PEN - OMGosh - those flowers are beautiful!

I am gushing over both the paper stack and the stamp set and thinlits bundle - both of these are an amazing combination! The THOUGHTFUL BANNERS BUNDLE is only available this month and only while supplies last. This is one of those stamp sets that you'll want to add to your library. It's one of the most versatile sets I've had in a long time. You can cover all the seasons with this set as well and thank you's and sympathy cards. Did I tell you how much I LOVE IT???

 

Zz

 

All I did was stamp a greeting and die cut the flower bunches & the stem with leaves - adhere them to the front of the designer series paper. Add a White Baker's Twine bow with a glue dot and WAAAAA LAAAA - Easy Peasy - Lemon Squeezy!

 

Zzz

Below are just four of the choices I used in this paper stack. Click HERE to see the details on the rest of the pages - in my post from yesterday.

Do you love Waterfalls?

DSCN8251

 

This is one of the most amusing cards you'll ever make! It's a called a waterfall card and it looks a lot more complicated than it really is. Kids and adults will have a blast pulling and pushing this tab as they gush over how creative you are! This was a card received from my Downline Carrie Schumacher - didn't she do an amazing job???

Blog

 

Above is the front view of the waterfall before you start having fun...and below is what it looks like when you pull the ribbon and the first panel flips up...

Here's a view of it with the second panel pulled up...

Cased THANK YOU

DSCN8259

 

Isn't this a cute card? I have to tell you - it's completely CASED! CopyAndShareEverything! I found it on Pinterest when I was looking for a swap card idea. The theme of our TEAM MEETING swap was a CASED card. This one fit the bill perfectly - I made 24 of them!!! Swirly Bird is one of those stamp sets that is easy and spectacular.

 

Photo4

 

I love the soft, yet vibrant colors. Peekaboo Peach and Flirty Flamingo is one of my favorite color combos. Combined with Wild Wasabi and Crumb cake - it's a beauty!

Do you love the HUGE greeting? It's from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set!

I love being able to crank out a ton of cards in a short amount of time.

Feature FRIDAY VIDEO - Double Z Fold

OH MY GOSH! I made another one!!! A Double Z Fold card that is! Isn't this adorable? It was super easy too! I've never done this before but I promised you I would - I made a video showing you how to make the card and ice cream container I posted yesterday and in the process you'll learn how to make a Double Z Fold card so you can make this one too!!! I didn't want to post the same projects for you - so here's another idea using the same fun fold.

OSAT Blog Hop - Dog Days of Summer

  6a0120a5bac552970c01b7c86b160f970b-400wi

Welcome to the OSAT August Blog Hop! Our theme for the hop is THE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER. What does that mean to you? Well...when I heard the theme I immediately thought of super hot days and the joy that ice cream brings to my life in August...and that's where I started with my card and gift holder!

You may have just arrived here from the talented Rick Adkins's blog or maybe you're starting with my blog - whichever it may be - please make sure you click on the NEXT button at the bottom to continue on the journey to see what THE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER means to the rest of our talented bloggers!

 

DSCN8242WA

 

I chose the SWEET CUPCAKE stamp set to make....wait for it....an ICE CREAM CONE!!! How cute right? I love when I can take a stamp set that's designed for one thing....and make something else out of it. It makes the stamp set more valuable to me because it's more versatile right?

 

DSCN8232WA

 

I had a vision of neopolitan ice cream...which is strawberry, vanilla and chocolate. MY neopolitan has mint in it - tee hee hee!

 

DSCN8237WA

 

And check out the inside - it's a DOUBLE Z FOLD! I love fun folds and this one is super easy!!!

I cut the white strip 1-1/2 x 11 and scored it at 5-1/2 and 2-3/4. Super cute right?

DSCN8238WA

 

My intention was to make this little ice cream container into something that looked like a snow cone...that really didn't happen for me. But I liked it well enough to keep it paired with my card!

I used the pansy punch to make all the little flowers on the top of the container. It's big enough to hold a small gift, some candy or a gift card.

Stop back tomorrow for my FEATURE FRIDAY VIDEO and I'll show you all the tips and tricks to make my card and gift container! SUBSCRIBE to my blog - look in the right hand column and add your email address where it says SUBSCRIBE right under my EMAIL ME button so you won't miss it! I post a video every Friday!!!

 

DSCN8245WA

 

Can't wait to give this card and gift container to a special friend!!!
