Happy Friday...

May 1st was my grand daughter Lea's 2nd birthday.  She is also my 2nd and only one of 2 grand daughters that I have out of 8 grand kids...

I was very proud of myself because I actually made her a birthday card....I know, I know you wonder at that statement....I make cards all the time, but never hardly every for my family, even my beloved grand babies...go figure.  Well I actually did this time.. It was fast easy and glittery..just like both of my little girls...they both love bling, shine and sparkle...I also bought some recordable cards and sang Happy Birthday on it..she played it over and over several times much to the delight (not) of everyone.

Silver glimmer paper, Pink, Razzleberry, Rhinestones...whooooo..

The next couple of cards are one of the two choices we will be doing for card class this month...What do you think Barb B?

I got the idea for these cards from Mary Fish at 'stampinpretty'.  The top one is pretty much an exact copy, the second one I changed the dps and card stock. 

Well hope you have a lovely weekend.

I have a very busy weekend and week planned next week with lots and lots of babysitting, don't know if I will get in any stamping at all, horrors...

Well HS till next time,
Wanda

it's only been......

too long since I last posted.  Do you want reasons, excuses or for me just to move on?
How about I just move on?

First of all I would like to thank all my faithful and unfaithful blog followers for checking back and reading this post. 

Next I would like to welcome my newest reader (that I know of) Barb Berwanger!
HI BARB!

There of a lot of things going on in my world and Stampin' UP's, of course Stampin' UP is a big part of my world (just ask my husband he says my stamping has taking over my house).....

One thing I am currently doing is taking an online class to learn more about the MDS (My Digital Studio)  program that Stampin' Up has.  I am finally forcing myself to learn it, and I must admit, it's fun and addicting....I really don't think I will ever use it much for cards, but I have lots of ideas for other stuff....

Well there is lots of new stuff going on retiring stamps, colors, accessories..

We also had Christmas card night here Monday night. Here is one of the cards we made....

I will try to take a picture of the other on plus lots more of stuff we have done..

I really need to get started on this months class. I of course have my ideas, now to get them done.

I have homework with my online class to do, plus babysitting, swimming and tomorrow I have a lady that wants to make a scrap book for all of her grand children for their birthday's this year.  She has never made one before and is terrified.  I hope to show her where to start  and how much fun it is...

Here is some of my homework assignments I did with MDS...

 

Well here is one assignment..for some reason I found this one, but can't find the other ones....I will have to try later. 

This is probably a long enough post for today anyway.

Hope you have been well and stamping since I've been gone...

Take care and HS (which means, happy stamping, Barb).

Wanda

feast or famine...

It seems that I either post a lot or not at all....

Classes, babies and stuff...

Stinky is patiently waiting for me to get with it again.

I am going camping this weekend and will try to get back to it asap...in the mean time....

 

this is a card Barbara P made.  It's really cool.

 



 

Isn't cute, the way it unfolds?

 

Well Ethan is here and I have to get packed to go camping today.  We are not going too far, not the Smokey's like Eugene would like.

 

 

Have a Blessed Easter...

 

HS,

Wanda

i must say i am rather embrassed....

at my video...A stamping coach said don't worry about getting your video prefect just post it...so after several attempts to make it better I just posted it...and I must say it is quite cheesy.....

My grand babies love it so....in fact one of them is coming over today for us to make one with his skunk too (he wanted one for Christmas last year after playing with mine.)...It will of course be cheesy too so we won't post it on here.

I did try 5 times between Friday and Saturday to make a video showing you how to make the quilted star look object in the post on Friday, but kept getting interrupted.. I probably won't get it done today either due to the fact of company, classes and life...but I do have some cards I can show you.....

 

 

This is a card we did at Christmas card night last month..The goal is to stamp 10 cards a month so hopefully by Nov. you will have all your Christmas cards made.  Of course I never have mine made, but at least all my stamping girls that want to, have theirs done.

 

 

I found this card at Sandy McIver's blog and really liked it.

 

 

I've been awake since 2 something, up at 3...I have a feeling it's going to be a loooooooooooong day.

 

 

HS,

Wanda

ta ta...introducing....my new stamping helper....

Stampin' Stinky.....the video will explain it all...

I know I am simply gorgeous on here....

Actually I do have another card to share...we will be making these at class next week and I am going to try to have a video on how to make these tomorrow with Stampin' Stinky....you won't want to miss it, I'm sure.....

Have a happy Stampin' day.

Wanda and Stinky

the bunny, the bunny, woo i ate the bunny...

the line from a silly song from veggie tales...I don't know it all, so I keep singing the same dumb phrase....especially while making this card....

Don't you just love them?  I got the idea from my up line  Sharon, who got it from someone else somewhere on line......I did change it up a tiny bit.  I used Pool Party card stock for the card base, then embossed it with the new Honey Comb embossing folder.  The ears and head are cut out using the new Oval Framelits. For the inside of the ears and nose I used Pink Pirouette and sponged them with Pretty in Pink ink....

We will be making these cards next week too.  So come if you can.

Here is some pics of Mom's new 'dog'. Doorbell when to doggie heaven about a month ago.  Mom said she didn't want another dog and wasn't going to get one...blah blah blah....well after she saw this one my sister Holly showed her in MO, while visiting there...hummm she changed her mind....just like a woman..

Cute as a button and in some serious need of training.....

Well that's all for today. I need to get back to the 'card mines' as Jan Tink would say.

HS,
Wanda

no i didn't die or fall off the face of the earth...

but some days you feel like it.

Not getting up early, running most every day to Rachel's to help with sick babies, a workshop, and a dumb computer are my excuses for not posting.....oh yes and a lost camera...

Well I am back with lots of stuff to share, so I'll start now....

This is a card we made at Jenni Longbreak's workshop last Friday night and I am planning on making it for card class next week.

Here are a couple of cards we will also make next week.  I think they are so cute.

Well Mom is awake and talking to me and it's hard to concentrate on typing and her talking to me.. but I am glad she is here. 

Have a lovely day..

HS,
Wanda
