Rubberstamping Class November 15, 2018

                     The top 2 cards were taught by Nancy.

 The morning class made this card with Peaceful Noel stamp set and Sprig punch.  The center fold card below with Tropical Chic stamp set and dies was made by both classes. The colors are Granny Apple Green, Garden Green and Poppy Parade.  The bottom card the afternoon class made using Dashing Deer dies. The joy dies are not a Stampin' Up die.

I Love What I Do

I am so lucky to do something I enjoy so much, teaching card classes and being a Stampin' Up independent demonstrator.  I love going to Stampin' Up events twice a year.  It is a great opportunity to be with 7000 like minded crafty people!  The excitement at these events keep me motivated and excited about what I do.  While I am at On Stage in Orlando this week with my team we will be having a shoe box swap with each other.  So during our free time we have all prepared the supplies in a shoe box so that we can make each others cards.  This is the card I have designed and prepared for my team to make at On Stage.  I used Love What You Do Stamp set, Flourish thinlits, Stitched All Around thinlits, Mint Macaron Ink and Frosted Floral Specialty Paper.  The paper is the focal point.  This pearlized paper was designed by Stampin' Up this year to celebrate their 30 year anniversary.  Pearl is the gem for 30 years so I thought it was fitting to use this paper on my shoe box swap card.  It is a pretty fast and simple card to make.  The silver edged satin ribbon brings some nice bling to the card.

On Stage Gifts for my Team

Here is a bag I recently received with flex points.  I love this new logo of flowers that Stampin' is using this year. On November 7 through 10, I will be in Orlando for the big 30th Anniversary Celebration at On Stage Live Orlando.  I feel so fortunate to live close by.  My team keeps growing and 9 wonderful ladies from my team will be joining me at this big event.  On Wednesday we check in and then 5 of us will be heading to EPCOT for Center Stage and some fun times at Food and Wine Festival.  Thursday through Saturday we will be at the Orange County Convention Center.  I saw this great idea for the Tic Tac Gum Holder from Susan Campfield.  I also made laminated bag name tags for us to put on our On Stage bags so they don't get mixed up.  We are staying together at the Marriott Grande Vista timeshare condos so we want to keep our stuff straight.  To decorate the gum holder and tag I used Very Vintage Stamp set, apron builder dies, Crafting Forever Stamp set.  Nancy and I also made post it note holders and portfolio style folder to a wish list for On Stage.  This idea was also from Susan Campfield.  I will try to post pictures later.

Barn Wedding in Wisconsin

 Here are the pictures from my niece Amy's wedding this weekend in Oconomowoc,Wisconsin.  The  wedding reception was in a barn. They had the cutest displays set up on antique door tables and dressers.

 The wedding took place outdoors. It was a 40 degree day but sunny. It was a beautiful setting.

 Both my niece and her husband are fire fighters for Johnson Creek.



 My husband and daughters, Danielle and Breanne

As you can see I was cold so I had this blanket poncho on all evening.

Fall Wedding in Wisconsin

This is the card I created for my niece Amy and her fiance Scott.  The wedding is at Trinity Barn in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin this weekend.  I sure hope it's not too cold.  Living in Central Florida now, I am not used to the cold.  It dropped to 50 degrees last night and my feet were freezing.  I used the colors of her wedding Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango( both retired colors).  I used the Barn Door stamp set and matching dies.  The sentiments and flowers are from Beautiful Bouquet .  The bride I stamped inside is from Wonderful Moments.  I'm sure glad both my nieces are getting married so that I had a good reason to buy this beautiful set.  It was so much fun to make.  I had to take the ribbon off the wedding invitation to finish this card ,as I no longer had any Island Indigo ribbon.  I used White Shimmer cardstock for the door, Island Indigo for the card base, Tangerine Tango cardstock for the front sentiment and the barn door hardware is Silver Foil paper. The wreath is stamped with Crumb Cake ink on Crumb Cake cardstock.  I'll try to post a picture from the wedding next week.  It will be a busy week with a wedding in Wisconsin then the On Stage in Orlando celebrating 30 years.
