Mimi To Jett & Katelyn(Mary Campbell) Stampin Up

2012-01-24T09:08:00.000-05:00

I have been sewing a lot lately.
Learning to make skirts for my grand daughters.
This is the first one I made. I didn't quite get the embroidery centered but pretty good for a first try. Right?
Also not the best picture. I need to get my camera fixed and I used my husbands point and shoot.
Hopefully I can post another skirt and shirt soon.

Cardstock: Whisper white, Calypso coral, in color DSP.

Ink: Lucky Limeade

Stamps: Bold blossom, Happy Birthday is from a set I cannot think of now but will add later.

Enjoy!

VC Rocks July Blog Hop

2011-07-08T23:59:00.004-04:00

Welcome to the July Blog Hop for VCROCKS!!!

Our home blog is: http://vcrocks.blogspot.com

If you did not stop there you can always go back there to start over or to find a blog you may have missed.

I hope you arrived at my blog by the blog of: Debbie Martin http://cleverandcute.blogspot.com

If not you can click on her link and go back to see what she has to share with you today.

What I have to share with you today is a slice of cake.

I love making these as wedding gifts. I insert a gift card in the back where there is an opening.

I downloaded this pattern from the SU web site. They have three different sizes you can make. I chose the largest of the three. I printed the template directly onto my white cardstock. Cut it out and folded on the printed lines.

Used a wheel and Versamark ink to make the pattern on the cakebox. Used black embossing powder and heated with the heat gun.

I used sticky strip tape to hold it together. It just fits on the fold lines. I then made my bows and wrapped the box in ribbon. I added a few pearls to the ribbon. I now have a great gift box.

Hope you enjoyed my share for today and come back often to see what else I have to share with you.

This is a picture of my one year old grandaughter Katelyn. She is modeling a headband I made for her.

VC Rocks June Blog Hop

2011-06-10T23:59:00.002-04:00

Welcome to the June Blog Hop of athe VC Rocks Yahoo Group...
Our home page is: vcrocks at: http://vcrocks.blogspot.com/
You can always start the hop there. We have 33 blogs to share with you. Hope you take the time to visit them all. You will find a lot of talent in this group of stampers.
You may have arrived from the blog:
Diane Clark-Sutton Stampin Ldygflr62 http://www.stampinldyglfr62.blogspot.com/
If not then I hope you go back and check out what she has to share.

Welcome to my blog, I am so glad you stopped by. I hope you will return for another visit soon.
This month we are showcasing the Big Shot machine,
I chose to use the embossing folder Flower Garden. This is in the Summer Mini Catalog.

Here are the details:
Paper: Perfect Plum,: card
Whisper White : 1 1/2 x 5 1/4 and 2 1/2 x 5 1/4
Subtles Patterns Stack of Designer Paper: 1 1/4 x 5 and 2 1/4 x 5
Ribbon: 5/8 Whisper white Organza (9.5 inches)
Embossing Folder: Flower Garden
Sanding Block

After running the DSP through the Big Shot I taped it down to the white paper before using the sanding block on the flower. If you don't then the DSP tears easily.

My second photo shows the card with a greeting. Just a simple Thinking of You.
I used a scrap of Whisper White paper and Perfect Plum ink.
I used the Word Window large punch and then using the Mat Pack and the paper piercing tool I punched a hole in the end and strung it with the White Baker's Twine. I then tied it on the ribbon and let it hang down.

My card is very simple and easy and can be made in any color. Make some up and leave the greeting off so you can grab one when needed to write a personel note inside.

Thanks again for stopping by.

April Blog Hop

2011-04-16T05:50:00.003-04:00

Welcome to the April SUStars Blog Hop

This month we are sharing anything but a card...

You should have arrived here from:The Bluegrass Stamper

http://bluegrassstamperstudio.blogspot.com/

I chose to share with you a flower. Not just any flower but a flower I made from fabric circles I cut with the Big Shot and circles #2 die. It is the cheapest material you can find. Get one that ravels easily.

Here are the circles I started with. You can double up on the number of circles you use to make the flower as full as you want it. I placed my circles on top of each other and punched a center hole with my crop-a-dile. Next I placed a brad in the center. This holds the layers together. If you use a Rhinestone brad be careful not to melt the center. I held my layers down with the point of my scissors. Then I used my heat gun to melt the flower layers until they curled like I wanted them to. You have to have a little patience as it can sometimes be a slow melt or it can be very fast if you use a thinner material.

I cut out a felt circle to glue on the back and then glued on a hair clip

I hope you enjoyed seeing my share today.

What a Blessing today has been!

2010-12-19T20:06:00.000-05:00

My day started early today with church. We had a joint service with our sister church a few miles away. Both churches participated in the service and both choirs performed a Cantata. The Love of God.

The service was very touching. After the service we went downstairs to the fellowship hall for finger food prepared by the women of both churches. We were back at church at 5 pm for the Live Nativity. See photos below. We were just getting the people dressed and sent outside when this photo was snapped. This year was different as we did not have any live animals. We sometimes have sheep, goats, horses, donkeys and what ever else is available. The weather has been very bad here and people did not want to get out like they usually do. But for the ones who braved the weather it was a wonderful time of fellowship and everyone was Blessed to share in such a joyous time.

My Weekend

2010-11-08T12:12:00.000-05:00

My hubby and I spent our weekend with the grand kids. We had so much fun with them at Bass Pro. Santa arrived on saturday and we took them to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas. We let them make a craft and play with the train, remote truck and cars. Then we went upstairs to Starbucks for popcorn and hot chocolate. They are age 6 months, 3,4,and 6. We had as much fun as they did. Sunday we took them to what they call the bouncy store. It is called Puzzles and they have lots of blowups where the kids can get inside and bounce. Then we took them to Cracker Barrell to eat. Another great day!

Singing in Church

I am very nervous. I do well for my husband but when I get before a crowd I get really nervous. Please pray for me. Thank you, Mary Campbell My Stampin Up website: http://marycampbell.stampinup.net

Snowman Card Changeup

2010-09-22T09:02:00.001-04:00

This card is a lot like yesterdays except I forgot to add my ribbon before I taped down the card front so I made a sentiment to add. I punched a large oval in crumb cake. I punched a scallop oval in Bashful blue and I punched a white circle after stamping on it. The snowman and the sentiment are both from the new set Jolly Old Saint Nick in the new mini catalog. I like it and hope you do to.

My Family!!!

2010-09-07T15:32:00.000-04:00

My family had a great Labor Day weekend at the lake!!
We took time out to clean up and take some family photos. Something we never do. We have too much fun together playing, fishing, swimming, riding the pontoon boat, jet ski, campfires and smores, grilling and enjoying each others company.
My children live about 5 hours drive away from me and my husband. We visit as often as we can. I am so glad they live close together. I can't wait until we can move closer to them. I love spoiling the grandchildren and would love to be able to babysit them.
Thanks for looking. Mary

Good morning. My share today is a card to give the Sunday school teachers Sunday at church. We have our Rally Day program then.
This stamp is not Stampin Up. It is one I bought before I found Stampin Up.
All paper, ink, markers are stampin up.
After coloring the image we covered the entire front layer with Versamark. Sprinkled Irridestant Ice over this and heated with the heat gun.
My ladies group loved how this turned out and can hardly wait to hand them out to the teachers on Sunday.

VC Rocks Blog Hop #3

Welcome to Blog Hop # 3
I hope you arrived here from Veronica Miller's blog: Bluegrass Stamper Studio,

http://www.bluegrassstamperstudio.blogspot.com/

My share today is the birthday cards I made for my two foster grand daughters. One is turning 4 and the other is turning 6. They are having a pool party today and I thought they would like a card like this. I got the pattern for this in a swap here on VCRocks. It was made by Sunny Skye DeWeez. Hers had the foot pattern on the outside. I placed mine on the inside.

This shows the card and a little of the envelope.

A closer view of the front.

Picture of the inside. How do you like my nail polish?

The outside of my envelope. I used a legal size which fits the flip flop card perfectly. I stamped all over it because it will be hand delivered.

Stamps: Tropical Party, Perfect Punches
Paper: Whisper White
Ink: Wild Wasabi, Pacific Point, Melon Mambo
Acc: Ribbon, Rhinestone brad, filigree brad

I hope you enjoyed your visit and come back often.
