Stampin' Up! Big Shot Hero

Oh my goodness, you have to see this. Stampin' Up! has a contest every year for demonstrators to film a commercial. This one is so funny. I love to use the Big Shot. Have a good laugh at this commercial made by Linda Heller. If you are interested in learning more about the Big Shot and are near Kings Mountain, NC, drop me a line at howe1472@bellsouth.net. I would love to show you and your friends the wonderful things you can do with this great die machine! I have been traveling every day this week, but hope to sit down this afternoon and make some cards to share with you. We traveled to Virginia Monday, back to North Carolina Tuesday night, South Carolina today, and back to North Carolina tomorrow. Whew! Lots of miles on the road and the Lord has blessed us with safety and the job that made those trips possible. Have a great day stamping, creating, or whatever the day brings!

Stampin' Up! Sense of Time Stamp Set

I love this style of stamp art. Stampin' Up!'s Sense of Time has some great sentiments and images. I wish I would have had my brads when I made this card. I would have added one to the center where the hands are on the clock. Most of my stamping supplies are in South Carolina and I made this card in our home in North Carolina. I made this card for a Monday Mailers NC Demo Yahoo group I am in. We send a card out every Monday. Each month has a different theme and we can sign up if we want to. I have loved participating in this program.

Isn't it wonderful to receive a handcrafted card in your mailbox? If you are a stamper, you know the time involved in making them. Send a smile in the mail today. You never know if the person you are sending to is dealing with something stressful and your card might be uplifting to them. Plus you will be stimulating the economy especially since the Post Office is having difficulites as we are all right now.

Stampin' Up! Cardstock - Close to Cocoa, Confetti Cream, Mellow Moss, Night of Navy, Chocolate Chip

Stampin' Up! Ink - Night of Navy, Close to Cocoa, Mellow Moss

Provo Craft Lunch Tin

Sorry I have been missing the past two weeks. My mom had major neck surgery and I have been staying with her. She is in pain and needs prayer. I think she is doing very well considering. My sweet hubby sent her and me flowers last week. He sent them to me because he misses me. He is in another state working and I didn't get to go with him the past two weeks. Well that is more than you probably wanted to know.

I had a lunch tin (for cards) class a few Saturdays ago. This is what I made for me. I have one already but needed another one. I use an acrylic template from http://www.thecardladies.com/ for the top and snap and a tutorial on http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/. I love making these. They are fast and easy. I make dividers for the inside and use the stamp set Sincere Salutations. I used a retired Designer Paper. I need to use some of the paper I am hoarding. Hope you have a wonderful day of creating!
