Have you seen this yet? You have to see this great video by Stampin' Up! demo Linda Heller and her husband Matt - it's so funny! You'll love it! Check it out here!
It's particularly humorous to me because we just used the Big Shot in 3 of the 5 projects we did last night at stamp camp. I'll share more about that later.....
My daughter Kristin and her friend Ty were rehearsing for a talent show at BYU. Her cousin recorded the rehearsal and the performance. Such a fun arrangement of Beatles' Come Together!! Hope you like it! And yes, it's the same girl before and after the straightener....:o)
Actually, I've been playing a lot - tennis that is. But I've had little time to play in my stamp room. We are headed to Corpus Christi for a tennis tournament in 2 days and I'm the acting captain for this event! And when I'm not on the court preparing, I've been busy, busy, busy with a million other things. I did get a chance to play in my stamp room this weekend, but I can't share it yet. I'm working on a surprise project for a friend and can't share it until the surprise is over.
I do have some other pictures from the last stamp camp that I could share, when I catch my breath. I have an open house that I'm getting ready for tonight for my NEW American School satellite school. I've been homeschooling my kids for 14 years and this year I will start 'homeschooling' other teens. My girls are in college and my boys, grade 9 and 12, are the only ones left in our homeschool so it's time to help others.
If your in the area, the open house for the school is at my house this evening, Tuesday, at 7 PM. There's another open house next Tuesday evening at 7 PM.
I hope you like the new layout. I'm still working on getting this blog where I want it.

Similar to last week's entry, these are pages that were made long before the pictures were added. A couple of years ago when my mom, my sister and I got together we had a scrapbook page swap. I added pictures to these pages these past February during our scrapbook fest.
Soon I'll add these pages to a real album and won't that look nice!!! Sadly, I have to admit that I have the albums on my shelf, but I haven't taken the time to actually put it all together.
I started by punching 3 - 1 1/2" and then stamping the blossom from Kind & Caring Thoughts at different angles with the Not Quite Navy. I used an aqua painter to pull the NQN ink onto the blossom and then finished with Pretty in Pink, Really Rust, Mellow Moss, and Old Olive. I used a versamark pen and clear embossing powder to emboss the painted flowers and leaves, before sponging with Pretty in Pink and sponging the edges with Really Rust.
The blossoms were layered on squares of Not Quite Navy, which was layered on the Pretty in Pink strip that was sponged with Really Rust. The white organza ribbon was tied on with a silver flower from the Hodgepodge Hardware.
The background is Whisper White, and the top is embossed with the big shot and SU texture plate. The texture was sponged with Not Quite Navy, then the piece was layered on Pretty in Pink and Not Quite Navy.
The little butterfly was white embossed on Really Rust, cut out and adhered with a glue dot. The sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes was stamped in the bottom corner with Not Quite Navy.
