Altered Easter Egg Swap — My Scrap Room

I signed up on the very last day to participate in this swap. After viewing Gina’s video I couldn’t help but go and get an egg and get started!

My partner is Fred and She and I have had a wonderful time chatting back and fourth while creating our eggs. Mine features bunches of flowers, and as you can see in the video, it is just so fun. You may click here to watch the video on YouTube.

For those who asked, You can go to the bottom of my blog to turn off the music, if in general the music isn’t liked, I will be glad to remove it from the blog. So let me know (in a nice way please).

Have a great weekend! Stamp Happy!

Hugs, Loretta Rodger

Queen Kat and Maigan Lynn designs – Whimsical Ink Sorority@

Fantasy Art of Maigan Lynn

The name of this stamp is “Love never goes out of style”. How true that statement is.

I love the styling of the Whimsical Ink Sorority and this stamp by Maigan Lynn. You will find that these stamps are richly detailed and so much fun to color.

I chose to use paper from the Whimsy stack by DCWV. The card base is a light green color, and then I used the patterned hearts from this set to finish off the card.

Please go visit our store website, there are some great new products, new artists and always great stamps at great prices.

Thanks so much for all of the warm wishes for my Boy’s at the loss of their paternal Grandmother. We arrived home on Monday, March 21 late in the afternoon. It was a long drive.

Have a great day, stamp happy !

I Love Stamps!

This is an adorable stamp from The Greeting Farm.

I have so enjoyed watching the many video tutorials on coloring skin tones with my Copic markers. Even though I have a copic certification, I am the very fist to admitt that I still have much to learn.

I have also been published again! I have a card in the new issue of Just Cards Magazine, Spring 2011 on page 22, the write up is on page 23. It is a whipper snapper card using the swooning cow.

I can hardly believe it is the beginning of a new week. Most of the weekend I was sick in bed with a terrible headache and a stiff neck. I could hardly even turn my head! My sweet husband stepped up to the plate and pretty much took care of the meals.

Chad is doing well. We had such a great laugh with him over dinner, telling him stories of when Mike and I first met and how stubborn he was back then. His laugh is so genuine the entire room lights up! He is such a great kid, we are very lucky parents!

I hope you will all take time today to do at least one thing (big or small) that truly brings you happiness and joy. Today I’m going to do some more stamping, I love stamps!

Sqigglefly New releases: Wishing Well – Lynne Stansbery

Hi Friends!

I am have not posted in a few days. My children, Craig Allan (age 22) and Chad Alexander (age 16) lost their paternal Grandmother last Wednesday. She died suddenly in the hospital of a massive heart attack.

The three of us made a trek down south to Augusta, GA to attend the services. Craig even wore his uniform. I was very proud of both boys during this difficult time.

I am glad to be home, and am slowly catching up. My husband Mike did a fantastic job while I was gone caring for our home and dogs, I couldn’t ask for a better or more loving man to be mine.

Today’s post features Squigglefly! Oh you guys have to go check them out here. There are so many fun images in the store and so many fun things you can do with them.

I printed the images off onto good quality card stock and used my heat gun to be sure the printer ink was dry. I then colored them with my Copic markers. Both cards took me about an hour to complete, mostly because my desk is a hot mess right now after my long trip. Hopefully I’ll get caught up and cleaned up here soon.

Thank you for your support and prayers! I look forward to getting more post here on the blog for all of you and starting to catch up on some of my ‘stamping’ projects this week.

Stamp Happy be a blessing,

Loretta Rodger

Coming soon to this House!

The picture is there just so you can have something to look at! Cheesy I know.

OK, so onto our families big news, no I am not Pregnant. We are getting ready to remodel our home. We are going to re-do the siding and roof, replace and enlarge the front porch, add a fireplace and a new slider rear glass door.

On a different note, I promised to share my weight and weight loss goals here. OK, here it is, I’m the heaviest I have ever been, weighing in at a not so healthy 190#. That means to meet my goal weight I have to loose nearly 60#. I have a doctor’s appointment next week to chat about my blood sugar levels, blood pressure issues and current medications. I hope to start decreasing my medications as the weight drops off.

Speaking of medications, my antidepressant is working great, I am taking Wellbutrion and it has done very well for me. I would like to take a moment to encourage those of you suffering with depression to find a good doctor and it may take a few trials to find the right medication for your needs, but it is worth the journey.

I hope you are all doing well. I hope to shoot a video tutorial for Queen Kat this week, so stay tuned!

Stamp happy!
