For Teacher

Well as promised here is one of the teacher cards I made for the kid's teachers. I used the For Teacher and School Colours builder wheels. The School Colours wheel was run trough Versa mark then I applied pastels to the Versa to get the mix of colours...nice and bright! And for the For Teacher, I used Real Red ink and then applied 2-way glue to one apple and red glitter, cut it out and popped it up with a dimensional.I also put some red glitter around the salutation punch too...it looks nice and bright in person!

I will try to post sometime over the long Holiday weekend. We are off to the Tiger Cat game tomorrow. Skyler is the Scotia Bank Kid Captain tomorrow...he won it! He gets to go to centre field during the opening coin toss, gets a team jersey, 4 tickets to the game and a prize pack! Plus the Glanbrook Gazette has asked to interview him too...so he is feeling like a little celebrity right now...too cute. He should be on TV or at least the jumbo screen tomorrow! So if you are at the game or watching it on TV check him out! Plus Kendall, Skyler's twin sister is a Jr Tiger Cat Cheerleader and will also be at the game and on the field for pregame...ah a busy time tomorrow for my kids and one anxious and proud mom!!

Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canadians! And happy long weekend!! Thanks for stopping by! Lynda

Fifth Avenue Birthday

I was hoping to show you my Teacher Thank You cards today but I'm a bit behind...working on them now...so I'll show you them tomorrow, albeit a bit late but that's ok ;)

Here is a Birthday Card I received from my upline Joanne. She makes beautiful cards!! And so effortlessly! She used the stamp set Fifth Avenue which has been one of my favourites for a while...I need to use it again soon! Joanne water-coloured the flower with refill inks on Shimmer paper and let the colours blend together - it's so beautiful! Love the bright colour combinations! Thanks for the beautiful card Joanne and the yummy lunch too! You're a great friend!

Have a great Wednesday everyone and see you tomorrow!  Lynda

PS. I have an order going in today at noon if anyone wants to jump onto my order!!

Notaly Ornate Note Book

Wow it was a great night last night! My Mystery Night was a success! I had a house full of women who love to stamp, create, and shop! What more could you ask for? Everyone loved the New 2011-2012 Stampin' Up! Idea Book and Catalogue and who doesn't? It's beautiful! Full of so many new stamp sets, card ideas, accessories, punches and Big Shot Dies!! I look at it daily! And if you join my Technique Club or my Watercolour Club you receive a Catalogue for free!

Here's a little project I've been working on for Teacher's gifts...Joanne (my upline) brought one home from her Alaska Cruise, it was a gift to her from one of the ladies at her table. I knew I had to make some the moment I saw it...they are mini Notebooks...a great idea for those that like to carry a note pad around in their purse.

They're so cute, I just love them!! I also meant to show you a picture of my assistant who helped me so much in the past few days! My daughter Kendall has been a huge help to me getting ready for my Mystery night, plus the fact that she has been stuck inside and home from school - sick! Yes she has tonsillitis and pink eye...poor kid. But she really enjoys stamping and has been a great support for me! Thanks Kendall!! Don't worry, she's not slave labour...I do pay her well...and she loves it too!

Thanks Kendall, you have been a great big help! I love you!

Thanks everyone for stopping by! Have a wonderful Tuesday! Lynda

Wedding Card Congratulations

Well last night I had my 'All Things Special' class and thanks to the ladies who came out! We made 5 very special and very decorative cards that can be used for Wedding, Anniversary or a Special Occasion. Here is one of those cards that could be used for any Special Occasion...

The background card stock is Basic Grey, then Baja Breeze, then some DSP, then Velum paper. We spritzed the Basic Grey card stock with a mixture of Shimmer Frost paint and alcohol...love this look! We Silver Embossed the salutation on the Velum paper, then added those darn awesome Rhinestone Jewels! We also decorated the inside of all the cards too! That was a must for these special cards!

Ok now off to finish stamping 5 of these kits!!!! Have a great one everyone! Lynda

Flower Fest Swap Card

At my last Downline meeting, Cathy B made this beautiful swap card using the Flower Fest stamp set. Unfortunately Cathy didn't attend the meeting because she was in Myrtle Beach but she did send her cards along and this was the result. I love the colour combinations she used and also the simplicity of the card. I also like how she stamped the background 'blue' layer too...great card Cathy! Thanks for the creation!!

Ok off to finish prepping for my class tonight, then a pedicure (finally, my feet are hideous) then lunch with a special friend - Lori! So a great day ahead!! Have a good one everyone!! Thanks for checking us out! See you again! Lynda

Create a Cupcake with thanks!

Oh my gosh! I totally forgot to post today! I am working away in my stamp room and just realized at 1:45pm that I didn't put up a post today!! Yikes I am so busy working on my 'All Things Special' Class tomorrow that I completely forgot...so here is a special card I received from my very 1st downline - Rose V. She is the sweetest person I know with one of the cutest little boys I know...I just love her son Johnny he should be in commercials honestly!

Rose sent me this Birthday card a few weeks ago - before our mail strike. She cleverly used the Create a cupcake stamp set and punch and did an amazing job! Thanks Rose!!

Isn't it a great card? I love it and thanks again Rose!!

So here's a picture of her little man and my favourite little man...Johnny...

and here is Rose and Johnny aren't they both beautiful?

I just want to squeeze them both!!!

Have a great day everyone and thanks for stopping by...Lynda

Just Add Cake!

Here is another sneak peak at some new DSP - Just Add Cake! It's a fun geometric designer paper that I paired up with the new In-Colours...Island Indigo, Pool Party, Calypso Coral and Lucky Limeade...boy it would be a fun job naming these colours!! These are the cards I included in my customer's order bags this month...that is, if you placed an order with me, you get this card for free from me!

So can you guess which ones are called which colours? Good luck!

Anyhow, off to prepare for my 'All Things Special Class' and hopefully some rest...still not feeling better yet! Have a great day and thanks for stopping by! Lynda

Pennant Parade

So sorry this post is late! I have been under the weather lately...spent most of the day in bed or on the couch yesterday. I have a horrible sore throat and the chills yesterday...as I was dressed from head to toe and wrapped in a blanket laying in the sun yesterday on the deck to get warm, my neighbours were swimming in their pool. And today more of the same but just so lethargic and this throat! Plus I had to get a tetanus shot this morning so I'm sure today won't be very productive either! Anyhow, I hope most of you had a good weekend!

My Saturday was nice and busy - dance recital, pool party, Father's Day dinner with my Dad! So at least half my weekend was great!

Here is another sneak peak at a new set and new punch from the New Catalogue...and boy this was a fun card to make...and easy! This stamp set is called Pennant Parade with so many possibilities and the new punch is cool!!!

Again I am using some new colours Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade and some new DSP (just add cake) too! Hope your day is great and see you here again soon!  Lynda

Faith in Nature - New!

I just adored this stamp set the minute I saw it and knew exactly what I wanted to do with it..."Faith in Nature' is a new Hostess stamp set and a set I think I will use often! It's quick to use as the the background lettering is part of the stamp - so often we use two sets to accomplish this look and I just quickly applied some colour and mixed it with my Aqua Painter to get this look. Again I have used the new colour 'Lucky Limeaide' as the card colour and also a NEW ribbon in chocolate chip! Yeah, they brought back Chocolate Chip coloured ribbon again!! I like this ribbon because it was easy to apply with your Snail!!

I used my Spritz tool to spray some speckles in the background and on the card stock. Oh I am going to love this set...wait until you see the other stamps in this set!! We will also make this card at my Mystery Night on the 27th!! Make sure you attend!!! Check out all the new colours, some new stamp sets, catalogue sneak peaks, free prizes and door-prizes! Hope to see you here!

Have a great weekend and see you Monday! Lynda
