Here come the Holidays!

With Thanksgiving fast approaching everyone is talking about Black Friday sales, Christmas music is playing in all the stores and everyone is rushing around already.  Here are a couple fun Christmas cards to enjoy while surfing the web.  The dog pulling the sleigh is Great Impressions (E624), I love how cute this little guy is.  He reminds me of one of our dogs.  Now, take a breath, relax, and let your creativity flow.

Happy Halloween Everyone!

This is the card I took to Fremont for our annual weekend at the Cabin on the Creek.  The stamps used are Great Impressions ~ 2 Witches (G433), Sit for a Spell (B217)there are several coordinating stamps available too, We had way too much food and tons of laughs just like always.  The Creativity just keeps getting more and more amazing.  What a talented group of women I have been blessed to call my friends.  Now to come up with a really GREAT Christmas card for our next swap in November.  Once I get a chance I will post pics of all the cards from the Fremont weekend.  Until then happy crafting.

The Cake and Frosting sets

Fundraiser Sets

Here are some cake mix and frosting sets that I decorated for The Royal Event, a fundraiser for my daughter's school. Diane Vey showed me how to do these and they have been a hit.

Paradise is Open!

The CURDS were here last weekend stamping away until the wee hours of the night and we all agree that Stamper's Paradise lives up to it's name. Some of you may see me this weekend in Madison at the big Semi~Annual sale that Scrapbook Superstore has going on. I'm always looking more new and/or RARE gems to add to the collection. Plus, I drop of some of my neglected items for the sale too. Hope to see you there! Right now I'm off to Stamp Camp, just wanted to show everyone the progress made this winter! We are pretty proud.

There's 4 turn abouts and 3 bookcases with Stampin' Up stamps ~ these are the wood mounted, the cling are on another wall with the MS punches. A huge board of Spellbinders and I LOVE teaching classes on them, once you know how to use them your hooked. Whale Tale punches are all together and the "new style" are together in a separate area. There is plenty of table space to work at while watching movies. Sorry no cable just DVD movies and CD music for now. The perfect girls club house!

Big Smiles and Inky Hugs !

Hello out there...

Well, as much as I love to hibernate, things are still moving along, slow but moving. We can now watch movies and/or listen to music while we stamp or in my case organize and unpack. There is a bunch of stuff that is being set aside to sell. The biggest thing right now is ~ do I try to accommodate a wide range of styles or mainly stick to mine due to space issues. Yeah, 600 square feet and there needs to be more space~YIKES! There is a big SALE in my future to make room. I hope to post some pictures soon.
Stay Warm,
Mel
