Loretta the Space Cadet!

I am a complete and total spaz. I have been running around with like a chicken with its head cut off. I have actually personally watched what happens when a cruel man (My father) hung a chicken upside down on the clothes line for an hour or so, to only cut it down and cut it’s head off with a sharp pocket knife. Gross I assure you. Could never eat the Fried Chicken for a long time after that.

Our family joyfully celebrates the union of Mike and Julie who where wed on Saturday. Between showers, pre-wedding and post-wedding things, it has been super busy.

So please forgive me for a re-peate picture. But on that note, it is just one more reason I love Queen Kat and the stamps, people and designers. There is something for everyone!

Stamp happy be a blessing!

How exciting, I have absolutely loved the Wild Orchid flowers for the last two years. You see as a result of one person and her bulling, I found out who my true friends really where. That gives me great joy. During this process of re-evaluating myself more importantly how I treat and act around and toward others is an important. People will forget many things but how you make them feel they will never forget.

This was also the point while watching some amazing You Tube channels that I discovered two wonderful ning groups. I belong to several that I keep up with trends, products and wonderful tutorials but I have two that I am truly committed too.

The first is Your Paper Pantry, it is a $12.00 annual membership fee. Yup, ONE Dollar a month. Well worth it. There are so many truly amazingly creative people there. So many swaps so much to do and learn!

I host the Cutting Room floor swap and this month I also am hosting the stach diet challenge. We are making cards and book marks to give to a local senior center.

The second is My Scrap room. Also very talented folks very talented artists. Many swaps and fun things to do in this group as well.

When I saw the design team call, I had to go for it, so above is my submission. Hopefully the organization will announce the winner’s today.

Have a great day, Stamp happy be a blessing!

Teal Newcomb — golden crested dragon QUeen Kat

Queen Kat’s designer Teal Newcomb strikes a total home run with this crested dragon image. I colored it with my copic markers and embellished it with a wiggle eye. The papers where a gift from Queen Kat, Vicki. SO very pretty.

With summer upon us, I wanted to stick with light teals, pinks and greens to accentuate this beautiful stamp. I used a sentiment from my personal collection to finish off the card. It is embellished with ribbon and tag gifted to me from Vicki.
Please visit the store for more great stamps, ideas and great values!
Stamp Happy, be a blessing!

Butterfly fantasy desk caddy for your paper pantry hostess

I created this adorable desk caddy for a hostess on www.yourpaperpantry.ning.com. She loves pink and I created this project with Wild Orchid Craft flowers, Shrink plastic butterflies and small decorative flower buttons. It is finished with ribbon, lace and bling from my personal collection.

This project was done in about 6 hours. As you can see by the photos in the slide show, the stickles (glitter glue) is still wet. It is sitting on my desk drying. It will soon go postal with the last swap I created. No I am not going to tell you who it’s for. She’ll be surprised for sure.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, Mike and I are heralding the soon arrival of the return of our neighbors. LTC., and his wife he is returning from service in Qutar. We couldn’t be happier to have them both back home in Maryland.

Next Saturday is the wedding, we’ll joy full rejoyce in the union of Michael and Julie and get to see Amanda and Mike. (Mike seems to be a theme) Baby R. Is doing well. He is getting big and we are looking forward to meeting him.

Have a great day! Stamp Happy be a blessing!

Telephone theme tag bag swap

I had a blast making these tags for the Your Paper Pantry tag bag swap for June. It took about 18 total hours to complete all six. They are now drying every where on my table. I had so much fun making them.

My table is a mess. I have glitter glue and stickles, lindy’s sprays, my home phone, stamps, oh my it is a mess,hot mess but one you love to clean up so you can move to the next creative process.

I hope you guys will have a great week, over the hump to the weekend. Please continue to pray for our family, we received some good news today and pray the Lord will continue to use us for his glory.

Enjoy the slide show!

Stamp Happy and BE A BLESSING!
