RemARKable LOVE Blog Tour - Day 2



Okay you all...this is a struggle! I posted a set of things for Day 1 and feel compelled to post something similar for Day 2. I struggled with this but as you can see, I ended up altering a notebook, making a post-it note matchbook cover and a large paperclip. I used the Shades of Spring Designer Paper from the new Mini, Barely Banana, Orchid Opulence, Old Olive and Very Vanilla papers. In addition, I added SU rhinestone brads and Very Vanilla grosgrain ribbon. All of the punches are from the SU catalog. The sentiment on the matchbook is from one of my all time favorite sets - Define Your Life. Hope you enjoy! Please make sure to check back tomorrow for Day 2 of the Blog Tour and be sure and visit the wonderful talented Laurie, who is next on the tour by clicking the image below.

RemARKable LOVE Blog Tour - Post 1


Welcome to the RemARKable LOVE Blog Tour! Thank you for taking the time to visit me. This was a quick little set to put together. For all three pieces I used Stampin Up's Vintage Vogue set from the new mini catalog. The Specialty paper is also from this same mini catalog and is titled Sending Love Specialty DP. The remaining papers used were SU's Very Vanilla, and Pretty in Pink. The ink was Pretty in Pink with a touch of Regal Rose. The brads and Dazzling Diamonds are also from SU. The little matchbox holds four chocolate nuggets and was cut using SU's Matchbox Die. I wish you all the joy of this season and may all your dreams come true in the new year. Please make sure to check back tomorrow for Day 2 of the Blog Tour and be sure and visit the wonderful talented Candyce who is next on the tour by clicking the image below.

Merry Christmas!

I would like to wish all of you a belated Merry Christmas. As a department store general manager, my life has been a little hectic for the last month. I've had two days off in the last 31, but.... I'm taking four days off this week and have all kinds of stamping and scrapping plans. This is the Christmas Tree that was in our den. I had six trees up in my house and will try and post some more of them before I have to take them down. My dream is to have a bed and breakfast with all of the rooms decorated for Christmas so I'd never have to take it down. Talk with you later. Don't forget to check back soon. The Remarkable Stampers are having a blog hop which starts on December 31 please join us!!! This next tree is the one in my bedroom. Hope you enjoy!

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas


Well....so much for dreaming. This was at 8:00 last night. This morning we had another 12 inches (20 on the ground.) We shoveled three times yesterday and again this morning so that I could get to work. This also proved to be interesting as I had to be towed in the parking lot of the mall. We are one of three stores that are open. The kids have a snow day from school and are loving it. I'm hoping to get some more of my Christmas projects up by tomorrow. Have a great, warm day!
