Everything but the kitchen sink!

Hidy Ho Stampers,

 

More pictures to share.  Here's a card I did last month at one of my classes.  It is using a stamp set that will be in the new catalog.  It's called Bright Blossoms.  It's such a stinken cute stamp set.  So here you go….

I used Elegant Eggplant and Whisper White card stock.  I ran the Whisper White CS through the Big Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder (#117335).  I also used matching Elegant Eggplant 1/2" Scallop Dots Ribbon (#124143).  For the circles, I used the 1 3/8" Circle Punch (#119860) and the 1 1/4" Circle Punch (#119861).  The images are from Bright Blossoms (#125495 wood mount or 125497 clear mount).  They are stamped with Elegant Eggplant classic ink (our new pads oooooooooo ahhhhhhh) and Old Olive classic ink.  Add Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#119246). 

I did adhere the circles with Dimensionals. 

This is a very fast and very easy card.

 

Okay more pictures from the happiest place on earth…

so do they look like the Paparazzi?

We headed for our favorite Soda Shoppe -

it's called "Beaches and Cream", isn't it cute, very 50's, very retro.

This is the start of an ice cream that they call "The Kitchen Sink".

It has an ENTIRE can of whip cream on it along with EIGHT scoops of ice cream! OMGosh!!!

Then he was jamming FULL size candy bars in there.  OMGosh!!!!!

And here was his master piece.

No, we did not order it but these gals let me take their picture

because they DID order it and ate it!  Look closely, the container has

a faucet and two handles just like a real kitchen sink…too cute.

This one was big enough, this was called "No Way Jose!"

mmmmmmmm

 

Don't forget to get everything you want from the 2011-2012 Stampin' Up Idea Book and catalog, it's going to be done at the end of this month!  HURRY!!!!! 

 

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Hi Ho Hi Ho it’s Off to Stamp I go…..

Hidy Ho Stampers,

 

Did ya miss me?  Well I have to tell you that I had the most wonderful – MAGICAL time in Disney for 10 days.  Shelli Gardner, the co-founder of Stampin' Up! invited those of us who earned the trip to come to Disney for a VERY magical time and she did NOT disappoint us!  It was amazing.  It was a free trip for both my husband and myself.  Do you want to go next year, just ask me how you too can join us!  Read on…

 

Before I left freeeeeezing New York and headed for wonderfully warm Florida (ahhhhhhh) I made swaps for the Stampin' Up! card swap.  I just had to incorporate the little lady (Minnie).  My card was made with supplies from our April Special.  I used the Bright Blossoms Stamp Set, Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper, Basic Black 1/2" scalloped ribbon (I turned it over so the dots did not show), Scallop Cirle Bigz Die # 113468, 21/2" circle Punch 3/4" circle, 1/2" circle punch, Heart to Heart punch, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, 3/8" basic black taffeta ribbon.

 

So after the short airplane ride, we arrived at our destination

Disney's Boardwalk Hotel!

 

Isn't it beautiful – well stay tuned…

 

 

We were greeted by a wonderful lady that lead us into the hotel lobby – OH MY GOSH!  I think I died and went to heaven (remember this trip was completely FREE!)  Can ya stand it?!!!

 

And look what was waiting for us when we got to the room – BON BONS!!!!  :0)  Really, can you stand it?!!!!

 

And here is a view from the back of the hotel overlooking the lake!!!!

 

Here is the Boardwalk that comes ALIVE at night!

 

And across the lake…

 

 

Here is one of the Villas!  Isn't this so stinken cute!

 

When taking the boat to or from Epocot or MGM, here is the gateway that brings us home.

 

SPECTACULAR!!!!

So stay tuned, this week I will have samples and more breathtaking pictures for you!  Thank You Shelli from the bottom of our hearts!  It was a-m-a-z-i-n-g!  I can't wait for the Fiji trip next year!!!

 

And don't forget to get keep checking the DISCONTUNUED LISTS and the CLEARANCE RACK.  Things are going fast.  Log onto my website to check out what is left.

Thank you for stopping by!
