I really loved the way this card came out, I wanted the cards to all have the yello polka dot paper, but did not have enough of it to make six cards, I do really love the flower patterned paaper with the purple accents, and have to admitt my long time hate relationship with the color purple seems to have eabated.

I love the new nestabilities dies and the possibilities the larger dies are going to give to the home crafter! Check out Stamp TV for up to the minute videos and fun stuff with Gina K.

New — Kit of the month for August and Mini Blog candy!

Just a few more days until August, and I am starting off the month with a few exciting changes.
First of all, I want to let you know the August kit of the month will be a surprise, the cost of the kit will be $8.00 and the overall retail value of each kit will exceed $10.00. There will be many surprises in each kit. Please email me privately at ms.rhetta@gmail.com and I can quote you a price for the kit that is only shipping. I do not expect for you guys to pay for a kit if for some reason (which will remain between you and I) you are unable to do so. The fee coveres my expenses in materials and shipping, it also allows me to put in a few extra things and surprises including embellishments and completed mini projects for your enjoyment. Ok, onto the new “mini” blog candy. Randomly EVERY WEEK I will put all the comment names in a hat and draw for a mini blog prize, Each of those winners will be put into a hat and at the end of September (around the 30th) a large blog candy give away then. The more you comment the more chances to win, increase your odds by posting my blog link to yours and explaining the rules. I am not sure if you guys are keeping up with CHA events and announcements, but I am head over heals in love with the new Spellbinders grand dies, I already have a large and extensive list of the new dies. Now I am thinking about seriously increasing my own collection of dies and purchasing the new Sizzix Pro machine. I will be selling off my Big Shot (without a multipurpose platform) this is the manual black machine and is was barely used. I chose to use the more efficent and easier Big Shot Express which is the electric machine. If you are interested in purchasing the big shot machine for $90.00 with flat rate shipping, let me know via email. Please feel free to ask any questions and go ahead and start placing your orders for August Kit of the month, as I receive five or more orders they will be drop shipped to your address. Paypal only, use the link on the side bar for the purchase. Coming Soon! Custom Scrapbook supplies, books, materials and stamped images, I am always happy to stamp some images using memento tuxedo black ink (Copic friendly) for you, all you have to do is ask! I would as only that you leave a tip in my tip jar for the amount of postage it takes to mail them to you. Have a great Thrusday afternoon, and please let me know what you think.
Stamp happy and many Blessings my friends!

Birthday Greetings

Happy Sunday Friends!

I hope this day has brought you joy and peace. It has been a wonderful day in my Sunny home in Maryland. Did you know that I am praising the Lord for the soon blessing of rain. I hear the thunder and I see the sky turning a forbidding gray.

Shortly after starting this post, Mike rushed to the top of the stairs to let me know he was going to get Chad. I immediately went up the stairs to get a flashlight. I didn’t have that flashlight in my hands 5 seconds before the power went out. We where without power from about 3:45 pm until early this morning — probally around 3:00 am. The really sad thing is that we didn’t get much rain out of the storm, just a hot muggy night.

Today I have a violin lesson. I plan to leave out early enough to go to the thrift store. I didn’t buy much in the way of shorts and am finding that the ones I have from previous years are throughly worn out. Besides we have a beach trip coming up, I would like some “new to me” things.

The Birthday/ goinging away present is for my friend Tracy who is leaving with her family to go to Alaska. She is a very sweet lady and inspite of any differences we have had in the past, I find her truthfulness, honesty and concern very comforting and I consider her to be a true friend. I will miss her.

Have a great day, and I hope to get some fun stamping time in.

Stamp happy,

Loretta,
I have never seen this type of card before – I’d love to see a tutorial for this!
Great thoughts on your post today. I hope you are doing well!
Hugs, Ramona

Here is the tutorial for my forever famous (the coolest card ever) . As published in Just cards magazine.

Thank you for all the wonderful comments, Ramona, please email me at ms.rhetta@gmail.com with your snail mail addres so I can send out your goodies.

Have a great Friday! I’ll be enjoying time with friends!

Hugs,

Owl be thinking of you — a never ending card.

Every time I make a never ending card, I seriously question my own sanity. I necer really start off with one thinking “umm, I’ll make this one in xyz theme today”. Generally speaking, they take on a life of their own keeping in mind what I happen to have out on my desk at any given time.

It must be an orange and golden yellow kick. I sure am drawn towards these bright colors this week! This really started with my playing with the new stamping up punch, the little owl that I poped off the card using black dimensionals.

I will be bringing the card and cute mini note pad to my group counseling appointment this week.

Last week’s party/session was such a huge success that when it is time for e to finish up my sessions (in about 6 weeks) I plan to bring something special for everyone!

So, here are a few things about the feeling of today’s card.

When you have time on your hands, put them together and pray.
Be the person who changes everything in some one else’s life. Your own life will be blessed.
Be true to yourself and believe in the power of your dreams. Even when you don’t see a point, know that the blessings to come will come down like a welcome shower of rain on a super hot summer day.

Speaking of rain, our dry parched neighborhood received very welcome thunder storms and nice heavy steady rain last evening. You could hear our vegtables and grass raising up and praising the Lord for the bounty of the blessing.

Blog candy will be drawn on July 22, so please remember to get those comments in, tell your friends and spread the word! Thanks to all whom have emailed, signed up as followers and left positive and encouraging feedback!

Have a wonderful Monday night, we will be enjoying our first Bacon,Lettuce,Tomato sandwiches using our own lettuce and tomatoes! I am so excited about a sandwich I’m getting pretty excited thinking about every mouth watering bite!

Stamp Happy, Be a blessing to someone today!
