Whipper Snapper Swap

Hi Friends!

After a bit of confusion, mis-placement and some what mind altering of an experience, My friend Barb and I had a very good laugh! This one is missing the pretty sparkly red ribbon on the middle as I have run out of it. Hopefully I can find some tomorrow when I make my rounds. I plan to visit AC Moore and Hobby Lobby.

Here is the short of the story, I was certain that I only needed one Santa Swap, one Santa anything but a card swap and Whipper Snapper swap. I was also certain I had already mailed her one Santa and one Whipper Snapper swaps.

After more than a ‘few’ emails between us, we finally figured out what needed to happen, I needed to send in two whipper snapper, one Santa and two anything but a card swap. The entire time she had the other ‘ones I was sure I’d sent’, on her table, wheew, boy was I relieved!

I love swaping with Barb on SCS. I have the best time.

Ok you know about the blog candy, but here is another reminder, please grab my blinky and put it on your blog side bar, facebook or twitter post, make sure to let me know you’ve done so by email me at Ms.Rhetta@gmail.com . Every one of these entries will go into my ‘hat’ (which is really a mason jar) with 6 total votes, one for leaving a comment here and 5 for putting me on one or more of the above. The more you advertise my blog, comment, etc., the more times you get entered.

On a side note, the young man, Chad made the honor roll with a honorable 3.31 GPA, he can bring those couple of “C’s” up to A’s and B’s, and has been persuated to do so!

Tomorrow will be a sneak peak of the Digital Delights video tutorial, hope you will stay tuned for that. I will be shooting a seperate video using the Big Shot Pro. I hope you will view that video as well. The Big Shot Pro video will be posted to the blog tomorrow.

I hope you all have a wonderful week, many blessings!

A few things to look forward too with this week’s blog posts, I plan to do TWO video’s this week one will featuring COPIC markers (version 101). It will be a simple tutorial. The second is a new take on doing Chrristmas ornaments. I bought some larger ornaments at Michaels. They are plastic and where 50% off. I love the fact that the hard work I put into them won’t go “smash” if they accidently get dropped.

Christmas is just 5 weeks away, my sizzix die (for the pro-machine) will be in soon and I plan to use some of these boxes as treats. Please email me at Ms.Rhetta@gmail.com if you see a box (or boxes) you would like for your own use.

Bumble Bee Larry and Lara The Lady Bug and Blog Candy Lots of Pictures

Don’t forget, later tonight, the Video tutorial on how to make an “over the top” fold Jr. Legal Pad cover will debut. I hope you will enjoy it!

I wanted to take a couple of portfolio style pictures of the Lara The Lady Bug project as well as today’s mega project which is an altered large clipboard for a private paper arts student of mine. She like bright colors especially yellow. I thought this clipboard would be a nice touch. It will have a small (also) altered Jr. Legal Pad to go along with the set. If I can find an RSVP pen, I’ll alter that and include it as a set.

All Images are digital and are available to purchase here at Digital Delights stamps. I actually started this blog post about 3:00 pm and it is now 4:35pm, EST, Why has it taken so long for such a short post, I forgot to put the watermark on the images, it is kinda sad to think that you have to put a “copy right” on your work to keep it from being stolen. Remember my work is not for publication, sale unless otherwise noted.

Wanna read a funny “lorettaism”? Well, Last evening I was busy with my Big Shot Express *trying* to cut some shapes for the clipboard. When “it” happened.

I was trying to cut a scalloped nestie circle, and had the sandwich “perfect”, and decided to use a piece of scrap card stock on the top of the “stack” and run it through when the gears came to a halt and the paper along with the embossing mat (which was barely peaking out) both got “eaten”.

So I unplug my baby, say a few “choice” words and continue on my quest to unplug the machine. Me (not being one for directions) started at my contraption with the small screwdriver attached to the bottom of the machine, when my husband (remember him, the handy handsome one?) said the famous words “do you need help”. No, I’ve got it, Its just a “minor jam” (yeah right).

So, handsome and handy hands me a “many” screwdriver and I proceed on my mission. Did you know that those tan embossing folders are very well, flexible. I cut, I preyed, I took apart and after more than two hours, finally got it loose. Picture this, by this time there are 2 dozen tiny screws, washers and the like on my desk, just waiting to be put together.

Then, I tested my baby and she was working fine, I re-assembled the screws, parts and put the machine back on the table where it “lives”. When I replaced my machine, I found the “instructions” for fixing such a problem, all I really had to do was undo ONE (that’s right One) screw, turn the gears and “unwedge” what ever was caught. Next time, (I hope there is never a next time) I’ll know exactly where the instructions are and save my poor machine from the humiliation of being “woman” handled in such a way!

I hope you enjoyed my story, I also hope that if you have any type of electronic or manual die cutting machine that you will READ THE DIRECTIONS before trying this for yourself.

Have a great night, stamp happy enjoy tonight’s later post!

Blog candy from November 10- December 15 in honor of my 46th birthday. Drawing will be December 16. Please post a tidbit to your blog. COMING SOON, I’ll have a blog blinky you can grab so you can more easily post my information to your own blog!

Stamp Happy Be a blessing!
