Wait...WHAT? Video & Joke of the Week

Today for my WAIT....WHAT??? tip video I'm sharing a short video that's packed with all kinds of tips to help you be a better internet surfer as a stamper. I'll give you some great tips about fun tools on blogs and how to navigate stamping groups on Facebook!

Joke

 

Bran Muffins

The couple was 85 years old, and had been married for sixty years. Though not young, they were both in very good health, largely due to the wife's insistence on healthy foods and exercise for the last decade.

One day, their good health didn't help when they went on a rare vacation and their plane crashed, sending them off to Heaven.



They reached the pearly gates, and St. Peter escorted them inside. He took them to a beautiful mansion, furnished in gold and fine silks, with a fully stocked kitchen and a waterfall in the master bath. They gasped in astonishment when he said, 'Welcome to Heaven. This will be your home now.'

The old man asked Peter how much all this was going to cost. 'Why, nothing,' Peter replied, 'remember, this is your reward in Heaven.'

The old man looked out the window and right there he saw a championship golf course, finer and more beautiful than any ever built on Earth. 'What are the greens fees?' grumbled the old man.

'This is heaven,' St. Peter replied. 'You can play for free, every day.'


Next, they went to the clubhouse and saw the lavish buffet lunch, with every imaginable cuisine laid out before them, from seafood to steaks to exotic deserts, free flowing beverages.

'Don't even ask,' said St. Peter to the man, 'this is Heaven, it is all free for you to enjoy.'

The old man looked around and glanced nervously at his wife.

'Well, where are the low fat and low cholesterol foods, and the decaffeinated tea,' he asked.

 
'That's the best part,' St. Peter replied, 'you can eat and drink as much as you like of whatever you like, and you will never get fat or sick. This is Heaven!'


The old man pushed, 'No gym to work out at?'

'Not unless you want to,' was the answer.

 
'No testing my sugar or blood pressure or...'
 
'Never again. All you do here is enjoy yourself.'

The old man glared at his wife and said, 'You and your stinkin' bran muffins. We could have been here ten years ago!'

KIND OF BRINGS A TEAR TO YOUR EYE DOESN'T IT?

Totally Techniques Blog Hop - BRUSHO!

Totally Techniques

Welcome to the TOTALLY TECHNIQUES FEBRUARY BLOG HOP! This month we are concentrating on BRUSHO CRYSTAL COLOURS! That's right! You'll be able to hop along when you click on the NEXT button down below to visit 11 different blogs featuring projects using BRUSHO from 11 different countries. WOW! You may have just arrived here from Zoë Tant's blog or maybe you're starting with me - however you got here, please make sure you scroll down and click on the NEXT button to continue on the hop.

I chose the MYTHS & MAGIC SUITE to use with BRUSHO. One of the samples I made when I was playing about with BRUSHO reminded me of a big flame. And what better way to use a big flame than with the dragon from the MAGICAL DAY stamp set. This set came be purchased with the matching framelits - MAGICAL MATES FRAMELITS DIES. And believe me - when I looked at the intricate images in the stamp set I thought to myself "how on earth am I going to cut those out?" Then I examined the Framelits and you could hear a big WHEW coming from my studio! LOL!

Fullsizeoutput_813

Here's a photo of both of my BRUSHO cards. I am over the moon happy with the results! I manipulated the flame a little bit - you'll be able to see how in my video below.

www.AStampAbove.com

 

Watch the magic happen - I really do LOVE these CRYSTAL COLOURS! 

Click HERE if the video doesn't play to watch it on my blog. 

 

Here's a close up of my mermaid card. The blue BRUSHO reminded me of a swirling sea. And then when I saw those little seahorses I just couldn't resist! I used the die from SWIRLY SCRIBBLES THINLITS to die cut come fun waves out of Pacific Point cardstock.

www.AStampAbove.com

Dimension:

  • Lemon Lime Twist 4-1/4" x 11" scored at 5-1/2"
  • Basic Black 4" x 5-1/4"
  • Watercolor Paper 3-7/8 x 5-1/8"

Here's a close up of my swirling sea - the picture just doesn't do it justice - it's so MAGICAL!

www.AStampAbove.com

And here's my dragon card - this one made me giggle with happiness at the way the BRUSHO looked so much like swirling flames! What do you think?

www.AStampAbove.com

I can't wait to give this card to one of the boys in my life - they are going to be amazing at my creative talent - LOL! Well - they probably won't but their moms will!!!

www.AStampAbove.com

The little soldier was the perfect little embellishment that I needed to finish off this card. And I love that I didn't have to cut him out - WHEW!

Joke

 

Have a Seat

A man was looking for a place to sit in a crowded university library.
He asked a girl: "Do you mind if I sit beside you?"
The girl replied, in a loud voice. "NO, I DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE NIGHT WITH YOU!"
All the people in the library started staring at the man, who was deeply embarrassed and moved to another table.
After a couple of minutes, the girl walked quietly to the man's table and said with a laugh: "I study psychology, and I know what a man is
thinking; I bet you felt embarrassed, right?"
The man responded in a loud voice: "$500 FOR ONE NIGHT? ..... I`M NOT PAYING YOU THAT MUCH!"
All the people in the library looked at the girl in shock.
The man whispered to her: "I study law, and I know how to manipulate people too."

Control Freaks Blog Hop - Birthdays!

CF Header

Welcome to the Control Freaks  blog hop featuring BIRTHDAY projects. That's the theme this month. I'm super excited to show you a couple of the cards I made for my Facebook Live event on Sunday night with the fabulous WATERFRONT stamp set!

You might be arriving from the talented Connie Babbert or you might be starting right here with my blog...either way...make sure you go to the bottom and look for the NEXT graphic (it looks just like the one above only it says "click here to proceed") and continue on the hop with us! There are 8 blogs in this hop with fabulous creations to share with you.

I went for a masculine theme and here's what I came up with:

Fullsizeoutput_7d1

I stamped my mountains in Basic Gray with the lighter one being a second generation stamp - meaning I didn't re-ink the stamp after I stamped the first mountain. You can see that I did a little masking to stamp the trees behind the mountains on the left. My lake is stamped with Marina Mist and the trees are just stamped all over with Old Olive and Tranquil Tide. I added some clouds with Marina Mist and the sun in Daffodil Delight. This card came together so quickly - the stamp set is so much fun! The Birthday Thinlits were the perfect embellishment to make a GREAT statement for this man card.

www.AStampAbove.com

Dimensions:

  • Marina Mist 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"
  • Basic Black 4" x 5-1/4" & scrap
  • Whisper White 3-3/4" x 5" & 4" x 5-1/4" (inside)

And here's another man card with the same stamp set!

Fullsizeoutput_7d2

Tranquil tide ink makes this card look very masculine and rich. My mountains are stamped in Soft Suede on Watercolor Paper and then blended a little bit with an Aqua Painter. I did the same with the grassy meadow and Tranquil Tide ink. It's hard to see but I used the new BASKET WEAVE embossing folder on the Basic Black layer to give it a little texture.

www.AStampAbove.com

Dimensions:

  • Tranquil Tide 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"
  • Basic Black 4" x 5-1/4"  scrap
  • Watercolor Paper 3-3/4" x 3-3/4"
  • Whisper White 4" x 5-1/4" (inside) & scrap

 Heres the stamp set I used - the WATERFRONT set has 16 different magnificent images:

146386G
 

Ingredient List:

  • Stamps: Waterfront
  • Ink: Basic Gray, Marina Mist, Tranquil Tide, Old Olive, Memento Black, Daffodil Delight
  • Cardstock: Marina Mist, Basic Black, Whisper White, Tranquil Tide, Watercolor Paper
  •  Accessories: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Layering Circles Framelits, Big Shot, Dimensionals, Emerald Envy Crinkled Seam Binding, Birthday Thinlit, Black Baker's Twine, Basket Weave Dynamic Embossing Folder, Aqua Painters
