A Few Cruise Highlights to Share

Diana Gibbs sent these pics to me this morning, mine are not downloaded yet...so here is sharing....This is the morning we were to see the first glacier at the end of Tracy's Arm....we were arriving to the glacier at 6 am....so it is o'early!!!!  Coffee and Bailey's morning.....(it was not real cold, but I had 4 layers on)

The ice in the water that you can see are chunks from the glacier and you only see an 1/8 of the piece, 7/8 is under the water....

Make and Takes.....Kim and Diana ready to dig in and start stampin!!!



This is the table of woman that I shared Make and Takes with....so myself, Diana, Leeann and the 2 ladies on the end closest to the camera I did not know or meet, so if you know them, let me know....and Meg is hiding (going down the other side of the table) Tiffany and Susie.  What a fun time this was...we went for adult beverages when we finished, followed by a nap....and dinner!

The Open Sea

These are from the NEW Summer Mini Catalog set "The Open Sea" (123030 W or 123032 C) and they are perfect for the Stampin' Up Cruise gifts I will be taking with me this month.  They also have the DSP ( 122343) Nautical Expedition which I love and have ordered more of....

If you have not ordered this paper and stamp set yet, you will be sorry if you let it go.  Everyone at Stamp Club fell in love with it boat lover or not.

Photos to Share

Mandy is a nail tech where I have my nails done and she is a new mommy, so who better to ask for some baby photos from.  I told her if she would print me some photos of Zoey, I would make her an album to share with her clients when they ask and then I also would have another example to share at Stamp Club.  So it was pretty cute finished.  I used black and blushing bride CS, as her room is hot pink and black and gray.

May is National Scrapbook Month....Take advantage of the savings!

Sale-A-Bration: Bliss Project

Western Themed Thank You

CASED from Stampin Connections

I saw this idea on Stampin Connections, our demonstrator only site where we post new ideas to share with other demonstrators (a huge plus when becoming a demonstrator, no lack of ideas for any project).  Thought it was cute, so I had to give my own flair with ribbon and the friend stamp, distressing and some spritz.

For You

So we were invited to a Yellowstone Art Museum Fund Raiser last weekend and if you follow me on facebook, you
know I didn't win on the auctions I wanted, but I was inspired.  So I came home and began playing "as an artist" and these are my thank you cards to the people who had invited us.

Here is just a closer view!

Mr.

Anne Murphy, the decorator from Slumberland came out needing some help on a Fund Raiser center piece.  So this is what she came up with and I added the brads and cumber bun, just to give it more WOW!  She was going to do them out of paper, but she sews, so decided felt was more her thing....cute huh!  So it is wrapped around a hurricane glass jar.  Now just doing a girl one.....wait and see!

Cuter copied!

Have you ever copied a card right out of the catalog?  Its ok!!!! You can!  Well this is my favorite set in the Sale-a-bration sets and I have found I use it often.  So I decided to share the example right out the the catalog and......its way cuter in person!  I made several of these in 5X5, 4X4, and 3X3....super cute don't you think!  Well go try it!  and if you don't have this set, I can help you with that too!!!!

Sale-A-Bration: Sweet Summer Project
