Swap Cards

These were the cards I made for the Canadians,INK! group swap. I joined two groups so I made two different ones.



I used Baroque Motifs set for this one. I stamped the swirl first then the flower and cut it out. Put a brad in the middle and mounted on with dimensional. Very simple card.

This one was a lot of work. I cased this from someone on SCS. I tweak it to make my own. The flowers were a lot of cutting. I had this duh moment when I did the flowers. I could have stamped the flowers on Real Red and Tempting Turquois cardstock in black ink instead of on Whisper White cs then colour it in. But the kids enjoyed colouring them for me. They loved helping me with my swaps.

Happy Stamping!

Hope is 8 months and growing fast. She's crawling and so independent. She wants to walk already. She has this big smile on her face everytime I hold her up to walk. It is so cute cause she is such a tiny little girl.

UPS Memo ... hilarious!

Got this from my upline's blog site.

Subject: Crazy Stampin'Up! Ladies

This time of the year has come around once again. Stampin'Up! is releasing the New Idea Book and Catalogue. Please be extremely cautious of Stampin' Up! demonstrators (SUDs) for the next two weeks.

Watch out for the following:

1. At the distribution centers, please be on the lookout for SUDs. In the past they have been known to cut fences and sneak inside covered with close to cocoa ink in hopes of blending in with the trucks.

2. The ladies have been known to run after your trucks. If they catch you and ask if you have a "package" for them, be careful with your answer. They do not take "no" for an answer. If you do not have it, just say "I will double check in the back" and turn and run as fast as you can to your truck and drive away. Do not turn back and look, just keep going until you are a safe distance away.

3. They have also been know to drive up next to you at a stop light in their mini vans and SUVs and ask if you have a package for them. Turn up your radio and pretend you cannot hear them. Do not let them approach your delivery truck at an intersection. SUDs have been know to stop traffic and throw all your packages off the trucks until they find their new Idea Book and catalogue.

How to Deliver the New Idea Book and Catalogue

1. Be sure you have fixed your squeaky brakes, If not - park your truck two blocks away so the SUD can not hear you coming.

2. Put in your earplugs and secure your safety glasses.

3. If you see children looking out the window, put your finger up to your lips and say "SHHHH".. They are on a "lookout" for you and are being paid to "alert" their mothers (SUDs) when they see you coming to the door.

4. Approach the front door and very quietly, set the package down in front of the door (Make sure you place it in FRONT so when she opens the door, the box will be in the way and give you a little more time to escape).

5. Back up as far as you can and reach for the doorbell, (BE READY TO RUN !!!). Ring the doorbell and make a mad dash back to your truck and drive away....DO NOT LOOK BACK !!!

The UPS corporation is informing you of this because in the past years, SUDs have been known to scream at the top of their lungs with excitement and try to tackle you with hugs for delivering their catalogs. After you have been smothered with appreciation for getting them their catalogs on time, watch out for flying packaging material as they will open up the box before you have had a chance to leave, or they have gone inside.Best of luck to you with this mission, and remember...

Let's Be Safe Out There!!!!

Absent Blogger

Hi everyone. Sorry, for not posting lately. My family is still sick. My husband seems to be getting the worst of it. He was down during all of last week. The kids each took turns with the stomach flu this week . I have really limited time to stamp and am way behind on blog reading. I do have some cards to share but just need them to be uploaded, which is way beyond me.

Have a nice stamping day.
