And the Blog Candy Winner is!

Not sure if the clear stamp set shows up very well or not, but it is the ‘surprise of the blog candy for this round of fun! It is an Inkadinkado 21 piece clear stamp set called “Warm Holiday Wishes”.

The card you see beside it I received from Kanne (her screen name on Splitcoast stampers is ragdoll) she sent me this very beautiful Birthday random act of kindness card! The stamp, layout and the stickles are very beautiful. I really appreciated her thinking of me.

The blog candy winner is:

A pretty Christmas Card!

Christmas Tree Card!

Don’t you think this is a beautiful stamp?!

Recipe;

1.Stamp tree onto white card stock that measures 2 3/4″ X 3 3/4″ using markers directly to the rubber.
2. I used stickles on and around the tree.
3. The tree is layered onto red card stock that measures 3″ X 4″.
4. The decorative paper on top measures 3″ X 4″ and the embossed (swiss dots from provo craft) and it measures 4″ X 2 1/2″.
5. I used a small nestabilities rectangle for the “Merry Christmas” stamp. Sponging the edges. The rectangle measures 1 3/8″ X 3/4″. The stamp is from a dollar set I picked up from my local stamp store.
6. Embellish card with ribbon. Use pop dots to attach the stamped image to the card base as shown.

Inside is simply sponged with the greeting on top and the small christmas tree on the bottom.

These cards will be going to our neighbors as part of their Christmas gifts!

Today one of my friends treated me out to a very nice lunch since she won’t be seeing me on my Birthday. (Its Monday, December 15th by the way!).

REMINDER: BLOG CANDY WILL BE DRAWN TOMORROW EVENING! There is an extra surprise that you’ll receive in addition to what I have posted, have a great time reading the blog and exploring as well as leaving those wonderful comments.

I have a nice b-line on a recipe for oatmeal cookies, when I receive it, I’ll gladly post the recipe for all to enjoy!

It has been a really nice day. Thank you to everyone for their words of encouragement with my son’s enlistment into the Military! Your kind words and prayers are so much appreciated!

Have a great Friday night!

Stamp happy, make a difference in someones’s life today!

One rainy Thrusday!

America’s future right here people! These fine young men and women took the oath to become active duty Airmen with Craig on Tuesday.

Sorry no pictures of stamping stuff today! I have been a busy mom. Tonight I plan to start the task of cleaning the kiddo’s room. He may be at basic training, but I wish the drill Sergent would make him come home and yell at him until his room here was satisfactory.

Will try to get some pictures posted this week of a few more projects I am working on!

Does any one have a great Oatmeal Raisin cookie recipe? I really need one. The last time I even attempted them, they came out like hockey pucks, not a good thing when they are the favorite of your hubby!

I hope every one has had a good day!

Stamp Happy!

Proud Air Force Mom

Boy am I tired! It was a long evening yesterday and now it has been a long day!

Lets just say Mike and I are disappointed in the lack of information and quality of information given to us by Craig’s recruiter.

Top upper left, Craig getting smushed (is that a word?!) by a Mom not really sure if she can let him go, middle top, Mike, Loretta and Craig. Far right, Toby (Craig’s biological father) and Craig bottom left, Loretta with Craig.

Mike took Craig out for breakfast and a ‘what every boy needs to know about becoming a man’ speech. Later that day Toby met us and we took Craig to his favorite resturant, Red Lobster for lunch.

Last evening we took him to the MEPS station and stayed until nearly 8:00 pm, this morning we where there at 9:05 a.m. and did not return home until after noon when we returned after lunch the mom took a much needed nap.

I am hoping that he will do well through basic training and grow up! It’s just time!

I am hoping to do some Christmas shopping tomorrow and drop by one of my favorite local stamp stores, Create It crafts. You can click here for their websight! I will be teaching the “Never Ending” flip card this Saturday. Click on the calendar at the bottom of the page to find out more details!

I hope every one has a nice week, I’ll be blogging a little later on this week!

Stamp Happy!

A Happy Stamping day!

Rejoice in The Lord!

As many of you know, I am a Christian. My faith in the Lord strengthens my daily life and with the upcoming Holiday season, I just wanted to let you all know each of you are remembered in my thoughts and prayers.

Today has been a very care-free day. Thanks in great part to my wonderful husband. Guys, I know I blog about him a bunch but I truly couldn’t ask for a better life partner than I have in him.

Tomorrow Craig, my 20 year old son will leave for Air Force basic training. I’ll be a puddle so please pray for me as well.

This afternoon I had some friends over for some wonderful and productive stamping time. I stamped about 20 of the little mouse guy and colored the images with copic markers. All of the images got a good dose of three different colors of stickles as well.

The Christmas tree card was an after thought. I had some pretty back ground type stamps and I used the new versa mark that has the glitter in it, it offers a nice shine without being over the top. I think the card is too simple and is lacking something. When I figure out what it needs I’ll post it for you guys to see. Any suggestions on helping it out would be appreciated.

I hope every one enjoys their evening and has a wonderful week!

Stamp Happy!
