greetings earthlings.......

what a busy time last week...I went to IN on Wed afternoon and back Thurs evening....

I did get 3 card designed and ready for card class this week and 2 done when I got back...I am almost ready for this week's round of classes....

Although I did direct copy sort of, this card....the purchase of this stamp set was a mistake..
I wanted to order the cute valentine set called Hey, Valentine..in the new Occasions catalog, which was number 137135, in wood...But as I was typing in the numbers, I typed in 137134, which was the stamp set Wood You Be Mine?  I didn't think any of my stamping girls would like this set..I must admit, I wasn't to crazy about it myself.

I mentioned this to a couple of friends that I had gotten together with to work on projects with.

 

Tracy, who I don't really know very well, started sending me pins and ideas for this set...I really liked the look of this one.  (thanks Tracy)
 I forget who designed this card originally, but I like the looks of it so I made it.  When I copy I mostly just look at a picture and have to figure it out...sometime mess up quite a lot of paper...

I think this turned out quite nice and once again I say a BIG Thanks to Tracy for helping me out with this.

Yes I could have sent this stamp set back, but figured why go through the hassle and it was my fault...
so here it is...and yes I did get the Hey, Valentine set, which you will see next time...

So until then, TIMBER! and hs (happy stamping),
Wanda

can I keep this up?

who knows, but I posted 2 times already this year! WoooHooo!

Today I have a card we make in October's Christmas Card Night.  I had the girls stamp Merry Christmas as their sentiment, however I thought just in case I need to use mine after Christmas for a church card, I'd put something different on mine......

This was really a simple card to make but I really liked how it turned out.....
The colors were Lost Lagoon and Smokey Slate. There is a little hint of Pear Piazza in the designer paper...

Another one of my goals is to save one card so I can take a picture of it....sometimes I use them all before I have a chance to photograph them (at least the church cards ones) or I give all the samples to my Mom...she sends out over 300 cards a year....

I may have a really, really busy week this week, not sure, but I may have to take a trip to IN......and with card class next week and only one card designed so far, I have to get "on the stick". (wonder where that phase came from?)

Have a lovely stampin' day.
HS,
Wanda

Happy Late New Year!

A new year, a new month (well almost new), a new day......

I have no resolutions this years but a few goals....not that I will meet them all, but that I will continued to work toward them...One of them being post at least weekly!!!!
Wow a goal, plus a miracle......

Well I am today, and it even a Saturday.....

If you have been to face book and on my Stampin' Up web site, you may have seen this card....

e

Just wanted to show you that you could do the same card with different sentiments if you didn't need a valentine card :0)

I got the idea from looking at Mary Fish's blog.  She had a small picture frame with 4 hearts in it...that spurred the idea....

I really like how it turned out! hope you do too!

Want to make one of  your own plus more? 

Come to card class on Tuesday Jan 20th or Thursday Jan 22....
time are posted on my stampinup website wandamac2.stampinup.net and go to events....
or just email or call me....

Till next time
HS,
Wanda

It's really been a loooooooooooooooong time...

Yes one or two faithful fans, it has been a really, really long time since I last blogged.  I had great plans, high aspirations add to ignorance and life and really just not wanting to start back until I really had learned how to "do this right" and all I have to show for it all is 10 months of no blogging is nothing.

Well I have been stamping still, that's for sure.  No more empty promises just trying to learn one day and perhaps I may find out how to do this, but please, please don't hold your breath....

What has been happening in the last several months, you really don't want to know.  I don't have enough time or energy to explain it all...

But I am still stamping. I already said that didn't I?

Just got home from a week trip to TN to see and visit with my grand babies and their mom and dad.

I worked on a Boot card kit I sold, trying to finish it while I was gone and I only have a barely little to finish up tomorrow or should I say today and it's finally ready.

Card classes next week and Stampfest coming up. I am so glad Mom is back from NC visiting my 2 brothers there.

I will post a picture just for old time sake :0)
And who know maybe I will start posting again.  I am planning on it......

One from my Bootiful Occasion card kit, and one

to make you smile....

Happy Stamping till next time,
Wayward Wanda....

i forgot..

my catchy title...so I'll just move on...

We got back from Tenn. about 9:30 Sunday night...what a trip.  I forgot my c pap machine, so not much sleep at all Saturday night, then Sunday morning as I was getting dressed for church I realize I had packed 2 different black shoes.....was able to borrow some from Paul's mother in law....that was just a few things...we packed a lot of crazy stuff in that less than two day trip.

Well we are gearing up for the finally details of Stampfest...

Tomorrow is Barbara Parker's surgery, say a prayer for her if you think of it.

Now here is another card we are doing at Stampfest....

It a hidden message card. It can be made as a Birthday card or Christmas card, depending on the wording.  We made it a Birthday card here. 
I understand they showed how to do this card at Stampin Up's Convention this year (which I of course did not attend..), but Jan Tink made a video and I got the measurements from her. Thank You, Jan! I did change up the colors and papers, and it works!

Well I have another really busy day today which started at 3:30am and won't end until about 10:00pm..so back to the stamp mines, then swimming, then stamping, then church........

May not post any more this week until after Stampfest, but I'll try.

Until next time, HS,
Wanda

supprise!

bet you thought I was never coming back...well, I'mmmm backkkk....

I won't go into gory details as to why I have been gone (mostly lazy and busy)..but here I am again raring to go.... I also have a new grand baby. A boy born to my son and his wife on Oct 9, fourteen minutes after his mom got to the birthing center..talk about a close call.

His name is Kyle Scott McIntyre....that makes me 7 boys and 2 girls....and Happy, Happy, Happy..:0).

The top pic is of his daddy, Paul and big brother Darren....

 

 

After being in Tenn for 3 weeks, I am now working feverishly on Stampfest, happening on Saturday, Nov 9th.. I still have room for 4 more, so contact me if you are interested.

 

Here a little sneak peak at what's been going on.....

 

 



Mom help design the pop up snowman card, I had the idea and she came up with the general design...I love it!  We have lots more cool stuff too.

We are going to have fun....and if you don't come, you will miss it............!

 

Well back to Tenn. this weekend for Kyle's baby dedication while his other set of grandparent are in the states, then back home again for a really and I mean really busy week....

 

If you think of it, pray for Barbara Parker, the dear friend who helps me out a Whole Lot with my stamping classes and stuff.....She is have surgery on Wed Nov 6th..we will sure miss her at Stampfest, but know she is with us in her heart....

 

 

Well if you can bear.........





with me, I'll be back soon...

 

Until then Happy Stampin'

Wanda

it's een so long, i couldn't even remember my password....

I know, I know, it's terrible.... I have been home since Aug. 20th, then started it right in to getting ready for class...so on and so forth.

I have been busy since then and have made lots and lots of cards, over fifteen different designs, I don't even know how many actual cards, but I haven't posted any.....just shot me now...

Okay enough apologies and remorse, it's time for a card.

This is a special card I made for a dear long time friends' second grand baby in 13 years! and first girl!

Can you guess the theme and color?

I used Melon Mambo(pink) and Pumpkin Pie, Early Expresso, and of course Whisper White card stock and the Owl Punch for the owl and retired designer paper and ribbon for the accents.. and the new framelit swing card template for the base. 
I think it turned out pretty.  Hello baby and congratulations are from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.

Congratulations Mark and Jennifer!

Well Mom is up, Eugene is up and my peace and quite for now has been disturbed...(it also hard to write when people are talking to you.)

So bye for now...tomorrow's another day...

HS,
Wanda
