Announcing.... the next Overnight Scrap & Stamp!

Hello friend!

Finally, I've got dates set for the next Overnight Scrap & Stamp... and I've extended the hours!  Yippee!  We'll be back at the Holiday Inn Express on Friday, February 25, from 4:00 p.m. to Saturday, the 26th at 10:00 p.m.!  More details will follow, but my goal is to keep the price as close to last year's overnight as possible.  And remember, there is only space for 24.... so mark your calendar and start making plans!

Here's a card I made after I borrowed a Lattice die (see page 206 of the Idea Book) from Deb Loyd.  (Thanks, Deb!)  This is another die I think I will "have" to have.  The card was copied from one my upline, Chris Vidourek, sent in an e-mail--and I'd love to show you Chris's version, but I must have deleted that message.  If my memory serves me, this is fairly close to the original. 

Have a great day!

Happy Birthday, Grover!

Hello friend!

The other day, Hannah sent me this link of a video spoofing those Old Spice commercials that I think is pretty funny.  (I'll admit it, Grover is pretty much my favorite of the Sesame Street characters--how can you resist Super Grover, "The Monster in the Mirror", or such a literary classic as "The Monster at the End of this Book"?)  So of course I decided to try making a Grover card with the Big Shot....  While looking for a photo of him, I ended up on Wikipedia--and there I learned that today is Grover's birthday! 





Happy Birthday, Grover!

To make the ovals for his mouth and eyes I dug out my Coluzzle.  Pacific Point didn't seem the right blue, so I dug out some old Brilliant Blue for his head.  His nose probably should be more like the old Pink Passion, but here I used Regal Rose.

I should photograph the Elmo cards I made for last week's craft show, and post those another day.  :)

Lots of info... quick post!

Hello friend!

So much has happended, and I need to fill you in!  First off, thanks to all of you for your prayers.  Dad's surgery went well, and my mom got out of the hospital on Friday.  She goes back for more tests, but I have a positive feeling about this.

I picked some of the last tomatoes the other day to make a batch of salsa... and got to wondering about "fried green tomatoes".  You've probably seen the movie, but have you eaten them?  I never had, and since I have tons of green tomatoes left, I wondered what they are like.  If you have a favorite green tomato recipe, please share!  (and if you want some green tomatoes, please stop by and take them.)

This is a card I took yesterday to the craft show... and I'm just realizing I never really talked about it here.  I'll be sure to invite you next year.  (I have a friend who owns a one-room schoolhouse, and we had a small craft show there yesterday. What a beautiful day to be there!)

.
Here is another card for the craft show.  This is one I started playing with at the end of the Scrap & Stamp last week.  (I'd show you photos of the All Day Scrap & Stamp on the 2nd, but I forgot to take pictures!  We had a GREAT time, though)



The spider comes from the Dark & Dreary set in the Holiday Mini.  I'm  totally loving those stamps, and when you can add brayering, sponging, and DSP... well, that's just going to be one of my all-time favorites!  :)  The "ribbon" is actually a torn strip of fabric--one of my favorites that I'm using on my Halloween wall quilt.  It reminds me a little of eyeballs....

Enough for now.  Will try not to let it take so long to post again.

Thanks for stopping by!
Wendy
