Stamp for a Cure!

Hello fellow Scrappers,

Do you like the beautiful Diabetic bags pictured above? Well if you do...READ ON!

Well this is the time for giving, and finding a way to help others......so let's do our part.

I have a fellow scrapbooker who needs our help. 

When I saw this I had to do it!!

So many of my family members have been diagnosed with this terrible Diabetes disease,

so if you can, please help...

Want to see how you can make a contribution and get something FUN in return? 

 Then read on..... 

Lynn Pratt decided to make this project in honor of her daughter Ashley. For those of you who have not heard, her five year old daughter, Ashley, has recently been diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. She is an amazing kid and continues to impress us with her great attitude towards this disease. ALL proceeds from this project will go directly to the American Diabetes Association in Ashleys' name!

The purses are approximately 7" across x 4 1/2" tall x 4" deep. They will easily fit many cards and envelopes inside and would be great to hold swaps!

By making a donation of any amount to the American Diabetes Association you can get the full tutorial for this project.

CLICK THE TITLE BAR to see Ashleys' Diabetes Page and/or make a donation!

I thank all of you who make a donation of any amount from the bottom of my heart. You are welcome to make a donation to this great cause even if you do not want the tutorial. So many people suffer from this disease and every penny donated gets them that much closer to finding a better way to handle the disease and hopefully find a future cure!

Thank you. Lynn Pratt

I would also welcome anyone else who has a blog, to post the photo of these purses and a link to Ashley's diabetes page or this blog post.
The more people that see this and are able to donate the better!

Funeral Bookmark

Our dearest cousin Celia passed away Monday, she peacefully went in her sleep.

 These are the bookmarks my cousin Annie and I made for her funeral.

Her favorite flowers were Pink Roses

 I typed the poem at the bottom.

Life is but a stopping place,

A pause in what's to be,

A resting place along the road,

to sweet eternity.

We all have different journeys,

Different paths along the way.

We all were meant to learn

some things,

but never meant to stay...

Our destination is a place,

Far greater than we know.

For some the journey's quicker,

For some the journey's slow.

And when the journey finally ends.

We'll claim a great reward,

And find an everlasting peace,

Together with the Lord.

REST IN PEACE OUR DEAREST CELIA

WE LOVE YOU!!

More White Beards - Just what the Doc ordered

Another one of Blinkin', Thinkin' and Inkin',

Ellen Kemper's awesome punch art!

HELLO DOC!

(Use the dwarfs in unique ways to make a "get well" baskets, or gifts

What do you think? Will that work?

Oh, who cares! - you just came for the tutorial anyway, right? (grin)

Here is a "how to" for Doc.

• More Mustard - full heart (trimmed with scissors) and large oval HOLE punched with wide oval
• Blush Blossom - 1 inch circle, 1/2 inch circle, small oval
• Basic Black - two standard hole punch
• Vellum, sponged with bashful blue - two standard hole punch
• White - smallest heart in Heart to Heart
  

Click on the photo in order to read the words

Add pen marks for folds on hat, eyebrows, glasses "ear pieces"
MAKE SURE you get your black eyes CLOSE (as in overlapping) because the glasses will go on the outside of the black parts. Add white highlight with gel pen.

I sponged just a little bravo burgundy on the top of his nose.

To attach the glasses - I rolled up a mini glue dot and stuck that wad at the bottom of his eyes - so your glasses are just attached at the very bottom of the 'lens'. This glue wad will show a little bit now but will be covered by his cheeks and nose.

I drew on a smile but it is not noticeable with the nose attached so you can skip that if you want.

You might notice my "fold" lines are a bit thick on the right Doc - I opened the wrong end of my stampin' write journal pen. Oops!

I have "ideas" for most of the dwarfs - I just have to execute them. (Execute: To perform or carry out what is required i.e., make the projects NOT execute- as in kill the dwarfs).

But I need HELP on one. I'm struggling with a way to use Bashful in the basket. The best I've got so far is putting him on a card and saying "Don't be Bashful, call me if you need anything". Any better ideas out there?

Hope you enjoyed another of Ellen's tutorial's

Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween 2010!

Hello Everyone, I hope everyone had a great Halloween. I just couldn't resist sharing these awesome Halloween pictures of my beautiful granddaughters.

The Friday before Halloween the girls went to Ana's Studios, where they took the most gorgeous pictures....Ana you always do such a wonderful job! Make sure to visit her for the holidays http://www.anastudios.com/

They were so cute, and the weather was perfect for trick or treating. The girls had a great time, they walked so much Andrea even walked right out of her costume. We took pictures of her poor little costume, with the feet all worn out :) And that was quite the journey for her, especially since my poor baby wasn't feeling as great as she could be.

 Take a look at the two prettiest witches!

 Mia & Giselle

~Sisterly LOVE~

Last, but definitely not least, the cutest Kitty ever!

Andrea your such a positive influence in our lives, we love you so much!!!

ANDREA

 Make sure to go to Ana's Studio's for your holiday pictures!!

I promise, you won't be disappointed..

 The bottom of Andrea's costume :)

Can you see her shoes?

Earlier in the evening we went to my cousin Maria's for a wonderful feast. ribeyes, baked potatoes, corn and a buffet of Halloween goodies...Delicious! 

 Then.......

Later that night we made carmel apples, my mom's famous hot chocolate and chili dogs, YUMMY!

AND......
then the most memorable moment of the night was when Mia lost her tooth!
A good lesson to remember is, never eat carmel apples when you have a loose tooth...lol

           As you can see, she wasn't as excited as we were.....LOL

It was a great night! I hope you all had a wonderful and safe Halloween also.

Now on to the next batch of holidays!

Thanks so much for visting us today....

God bless you!

Owl Punch Art

Look what you can do with the Owl Punch!

Hello Friends, and welcome back! I wanted to share one of the many different ways to use the owl punch. Take a look at this beautiful suggestion from one of my favorite Stampin Up! Demonstrator's, Gretchen Barron! http://gretchenbarron.typepad.com/

Check back tomorrow for more ideas!

A New Punched Flower!   For my card today, I am using Sunny Garden Double Sided Designer Series Paper, the Just Believe Stamp Set, 5/8" Satin Ribbon, Antique Brads, The Big Shot with the Lattice Die, Swirly Decorative Strip Die, and Square Lattice Impressions Folder. In addition, I've used Stampin' Dimensionals, the Small Oval Punch, the Extra Large Decorative Label Punch and the Owl Punch. Yes, you heard me right ... the OWL PUNCH!!! Aren't these tulips just the cutest things! And so easy and fun to make. Here's a quick tutorial! Punch the Owl body and the Small Oval out of your flower color.Trim off the little feet. Punch just the top part of the owl (with the ears) out of Green cardstock (I used Garden Green). Sponge the edges of the two pieces that will make up the flower. Using SNAIL adhesive, attach the Small oval punch as shown. Tape the Green "ears" to the bottom of the flower, turn and trim even with the curve. And there you have it ... a quick, fun and easy way to fabulous flowers with a punch! OK -- here's the Dimensions for this week's card: Layer One -- Peach Parfait Cardstock cut at 5.5 x 8.5", scored and folded to form a card base. Layer Two -- Poppy Parade Cardstock cut at 4 x 5.25". Run through the Big Shot with the Impressions Folder to emboss. Layer Three (DSP strips) -- cut at 3/4 x 4". Use your Grid Paper to space the strips evenly on the card. Layer Four -- Lattice Die Cut made of Whisper White Cardstock. Layer Five -- flowers and swirly leaves and stems Layer Six -- Sentiment stamped on Whisper White Cardstock and punched out with the Decorative Label Punch. Click HERE to learn how to make the frame around the punched shape. Layer Seven -- Inside of Card -- whisper White cardstock cut at 4 x 5.25". I placed another flower and swirl on the inside to dress the card up a bit! Hope this also inspired you to purchase the owl punch, for $16.95 through my website :) Just click on the shopping cart, or catalogs, to take you to my Shopping cart! Or go to http://vickylopez.stampinup.net/   Happy Halloween!!! Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you visit again Soon! I'll continue to post various ideas, both cards and scrapbookings pages.... Hugs!! Vicky http://Kreation-Korner.blogspot.com/
