Stampin Up Regional Convention





I am so excited that tomorrow I am going to my very first Stampin Up Regional Convention. My hubby(Lee) already took on a dry run so I know where to go. It's pretty easy to find from my house. So I shouldn't have any problems. I've decided to dress comfortably so I can really enjoy the day. I will take my camera and get as many pictures as my camera will hold.

They have a card swap and all cards need to be made with all current Stampin Up products. Makes sense!

This is my card. I love how it turned out. I had started to 50 than did 50 more. I cut up enough to do another 50 but ended up not finishing them in time. So I will have 108 cards to swap! I can't wait to see the other cards.

Supplies used:

Sahara Sand ink, paper
Marina Mist ink , paper and 1 1/4 grosgrain stripped ribbon
Whisper White paper
Antique Brads
Sticky Tape
Adhesive snail tape
Stamp-a-ma-jig(I can't live without this tool!)
Paper-Piercing tool

Well, it's off to bed for me. Morning will be here in no time. Hopefully I will be able to sleep!

Take care and as always I wish you time to be creative but most of all time to stamp!

Spiderman Spiderman, cutest boxes in the land...Watch out! Spiderman!




I had so much fun making these for my nephews Valentine's Day party. He's getting to old for the little kiddy stuff. And this is his last year of these kind of parties. When did he get so big!




I had made a Batman box too but he really needed something red so Spiderman was the way to go!

I learned how to do these by watching videos from Tami White, Stampin Up demonstrator.




I also have to post this picture of one with really big eyes on the right(my first one I made). I am laughing as I type this!!! Lee looked at it and said "What is this? Spiderman's LUNGS!" I about fell on the floor laughing! Lee is so funny! And let's face it they look like lungs!

As always I wish you time to be creative but most of all time to STAMP!

Red Theme Swap





1st card is mine:
I "cased" this card from Lisa(lisaadd) off Splitcoast Stampers website. I used a different sentiment and the decorative cardstock I used was red with pink dots. Since I wanted it to be white dots I just used my trusty Signo White Gel Pen to color over the pink dots so I got the look I wanted.

2nd card is by Mary(my sister):
She used a Coronado Island stamp on leather. Great Job Mary!

Take care and as always I wish you time to be creative but most of all time to STAMP! :0)
