Most of you know i a digi scrapper -for about 3 years now, so i have been eyeing this, believe me!! It's a computer program that lets you scrap digitally, create <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">photobooks</span>, cards, and calendars!! This program is both user friendly for newbies, but great for more <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">experienced</span> computer people.It contains TONS of SU stamp sets digitaly, as well as their papers, cardstock, embellishments and scrap kits!! There are over 2,000 images on these DVD's!!<br /><div><br /><div><br /><br /><div>However, it gets better! Do you already have a favorite program on your computer such as Photoshop Elements? Well, SU will also have separate individual files that you can purchase thru my online store, and download onto your computer to use in the most popular photo programs!!! How cool is that?! I will be explaining more about this product in future posts.. If you want to be one of the first "in the know" then subscribe to my blog - or shoot me an email, at <a href="mailto:smvenancio@yahoo.com">smvenancio@yahoo.com</a> and i will put you on my email list!</div><br /><br /><div>My Digital Studio will be available on Oct. 1, but one of the perks of being a demo is getting wonderful products like this a month earlier than the public!! So, guess what i have been doing all day?! </div><br /><div>As you can tell from the following layouts, i am trying to catch up on my Disney trip from August. Hope you enjoy them!!! <img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 410px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 415px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/disney1a-001-1.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 430px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 419px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/disneyalbum1-001.jpg" border="0" /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 416px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 405px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/disney2-001.jpg" border="0" />Stacy Vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02134403789002815272noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4514226109182762286.post-11887659113405180312009-09-03T11:04:00.001-07:002009-09-03T11:43:11.175-07:00Fairytales do come true....Today, i am going to show you a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">lil</span>' tutorial on how to use a Stamp a Ma Jig.. This is a great way to line up any image to where you want it to be specifically.<br />I am working on my sister's wedding invitations, today i am doing the envelopes. Now, i want the wording to be lined up perfectly on these.<br />Here is what i used: The envelopes are <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">SU's</span> 5x5 whisper white. The stamp set is "Once Upon A Time" #113746 (19.95). And i am using Melon Mambo ink.<br />My sister's wedding colors are Pink (like Melon Mambo), Black and White.. And she is having a "Disney Fairy Tale Wedding" - she is getting married at the Grand Floridian at Disney's wedding <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">pavilion in March 2010. I am SOOOO EXCITED!! Ok, back to the tutorial..</span><br /><a href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05017.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 486px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 397px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05017.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05019.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 475px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 391px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05019.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />First, you will notice that the Stamp A MA Jig has a clear plexi piece that goes with it -- you need to flip it over to have the rough side facing you.. then line it up to the bottom edge corner as shown of the SAMJ .<br /><div><a href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05020.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 460px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05020.jpg" border="0" /></a> Next, you will stamp your image (with your ink) on the rough side of the plexi-plastic stuff... (see below)<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05021.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 436px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 401px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05021.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05022.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 439px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 395px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05022.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This is your guide.. so take that plastic piece, and put it exactly where you want it to go on your envelope.. Then, line up your SAMJ . (to the corner - same as how you stamped)<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05023.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 448px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 404px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05023.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05024.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 461px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 408px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05024.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Now, remove the plastic, and KEEP THE SAMJ WHERE IT IS!!! While it is still in position, line your stamp up to where you took the plastic from , and when you have it set - remove your SAMJ.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05025.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 474px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 407px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05025.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />And STAMP! :)<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05026.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 470px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 404px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05026.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />There you have it!!!! IT's a wonderful tool!! </div><div>Now, to finish my envelope, i am going to show you how i embossed it. I got my new toy in yesterday - the Sizzix bigshot! I love it!!! </div><div>So, i used the SU Elegant Bouquet folder, you just follow the directions, with layering it into the machine, and run it thru...<br /><br /><br /></div><div><a href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05031.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 458px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 397px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05031.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05032.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 468px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 412px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05032.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05033.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 472px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 406px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05033.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05035.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 455px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 319px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05035.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><div><a href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05034.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 458px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 364px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC05034.jpg" border="0" /></a> And there we have it!!!!

Good friends. Don't you just love 'em ? This card today is a tribute to all good friends in our lives.. I got this color combo idea out of our demonstrator only monthly magazine - "Stampin' Success" which we receive each month that is full of ideas and creativity, ask me more about this if you become a part of my team! It's something i regularly stalk my mailbox for at the end of each month. :)<br /><div>Anyway, for my card, i used Not Quite Navy, Ruby Red, and Old Olive - all out of the Earth Elements color family.</div><br /><div>I stamped my image from the "Good Friend set" as seen below, using the Not Quite Navy for the bird's body, the Ruby Red for his beak, and the Old Olive for his legs. I lined up all my stamps using my "Stamp a ma jig" - see pic below - This tool ROCKS for getting your image to line up! I will post a tutorial tomorrow on using this wonderful lil' tool! I will also be using this in my September workshops/classes, so if you want first hand touchie/feelie use of this, then book your workshop today, or sign up for one of my classes - you can view my list at :</div><br /><div><a href="http://www.stacyv.stampinup.net/">http://www.stacyv.stampinup.net/</a> </div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376190662956913522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSlbNiAVRAdxuN9waNm1j6dzVadzarApNDiZtvteG1jQT6bt3mT3LQiJ4yjvp_1hLAfpN_I_fR9ihBiZwfh2_wWI01xuE_IXAu2nhPfhtEDEdiXjXUW3zSaBFJFYJNaeKs_2sj-eKRqJA/s400/DSC05007.JPG" border="0" />Good Friend Stamp Set: # 113740 $28.95</div><br /><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376191516260510146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkL0mWmTNvU9w2E9fA_LFWd9LXE9RMSM8q5lMTVfmDTBtgM29mri7u7-Mt6-h3qob3gHl1t772KqeYfs5fxrPWga15onXBu-Xfcx_rbug5MLylqOijbyog8I33HJeBurbS9XR4HQgsA0o/s400/goodfriend.gif" border="0" /></div><br /><div>Circle Brads: #112571 $5.95 page 179 in catalog</div><br /><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF0XKZNNwfxR9dmw4HJd6_pwCwiT2s2Coo4Ij09SxqjLe3puRUUgMyzxTEnlMVdzl5R0ooJbVQ7bMTJoeYu8J3TTYMeSjFEfFZb5Obj0Qogfb-KqOyYT0snVHLi53KdlAQMygX2blH4sk/s1600-h/circlebrads.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376191759002116978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 262px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 243px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhF0XKZNNwfxR9dmw4HJd6_pwCwiT2s2Coo4Ij09SxqjLe3puRUUgMyzxTEnlMVdzl5R0ooJbVQ7bMTJoeYu8J3TTYMeSjFEfFZb5Obj0Qogfb-KqOyYT0snVHLi53KdlAQMygX2blH4sk/s400/circlebrads.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Stamp A ma jig # 101049 $11.95 page 191 of catalog<br /><div></div><div></div><div></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5376194577794602978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 326px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 311px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggGSa0sRCx30mE12ePdF6s-gY8A_xqL_rZz6LPXXlkL8Q9rsJp_y7espRSsoRv6CWJT1V8Pwrj9teib-qRFZTeLPlgeSKSqXr4a9QOBaGA5Z5yOTvjOI12HPmyFzivhd7jG7NsBKB9mNU/s400/stampjig.jpg" border="0" />Hope everyone has a wonderful monday!! </div><div>~Stacy<br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Stacy Vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02134403789002815272noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4514226109182762286.post-1936361774730969262009-08-29T05:13:00.000-07:002009-08-29T06:12:00.733-07:00NEW Shares!!

While everyone who knows me, knows how much i enjoy the summer, and hate the winter, what you may not know is - i love the fall. I absolutely love Halloween, the decor, the spookiness, the candy.. LOL Love it all.. But, i also love the apple crisp, the decorated pumpkins, the hayrides, the changing leaves... and more. Ok, while it may not be fall yet, the weather today and yesterday just has me thinking fall. So, i have a couple projects to share with you. </div><br /><div>First, we have a "Wiper Card" technique - </div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdTmZkblTTMmrVzescDUj22hC70P-sjJ6e3RSgRNhrOc47SuDrdMKY5EsdBO4qwenzMiVuiocW3tbGDMyzPkgwxGSQ1MolLX7Yhnnpp6QZQ4C844z9E90PpPYc4GCAYpAwu8DIG1O6Zj8/s1600-h/fallcard1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375094468230527602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 308px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdTmZkblTTMmrVzescDUj22hC70P-sjJ6e3RSgRNhrOc47SuDrdMKY5EsdBO4qwenzMiVuiocW3tbGDMyzPkgwxGSQ1MolLX7Yhnnpp6QZQ4C844z9E90PpPYc4GCAYpAwu8DIG1O6Zj8/s400/fallcard1.jpg" border="0" /></a> This technique actually came to me via Splitcoast Stampers. They have a great tutorial on it <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/wipercard/">HERE</a>. Basically, when you pull on the card, you get that little leaf (or whatever stamped image you use) to pop up as a surprise.. then it tucks back inside the card. Very cool!! I colored in the stamped image using blender pens and the ink from the lids of the ink pads.</div><br /><div>Supplies used on the above card are:</div><div>#100946 More Mustard cardstock (from Earth Elements) $5.50</div><div>#115321 Dusty Durango cardstock (from the In Colors) $5.50</div><div>#115318 Soft Suede Cardstock (from the In Colors) $5.50</div><div>#115612 Soft Suede dotted ribbon 9.95</div><div>#115609 Dusty Durango dotted ribbon $9.95<br />#101341 Close To Cocoa cardstock (from Earth Elements) $5.50</div><div>#101650 Very Vanilla Cardstock $7.50 (40 sheets)</div><div>#110372 Autumn Harvest Stamp Set (pg. 26 of the IBC) $17.95</div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5375099798241166738" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwYLEq7qOP2uesx6H8m7zLEPqF97jkru7taaa3xnHu4fhjCbwV9gJ4kO1hGbLpVFSiCd-bQJWdf7v3Vdoo_eY96aJjYB-RJkNXyPbQfYP79ydRJz3iBchHoZJp0B1-4o7T4GSL5B1wfR0/s400/autumn+harvest.gif" border="0" /><br /><div>#102845 Blender Pens $9.95</div><br />Also, here is a sneek peek of a new roll out of the Fall/Winter Holiday Mini!!!

Well, turns out, i got inspired from the ad to make a card using the design and color scheme. Goes to show you - you can find simple color or design inspiration where ever you look!! The top pillow is what i actually based the card design on. Recipe for the card is below: click on the pic to open it larger.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI4Ug6FDXFUIsDJFu2dQn6vy1fUqyq445DRrS0MYc3ngCv0Sc0ApgNgxtM3FNOlgFvKyflYymHgDdroa3s3_s_usBumXi3Sa0kM_9hf472_QOhWzrqMEUt73vFvT97QFLJUxiqhGantq0/s1600-h/bbblift.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363945887642054802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI4Ug6FDXFUIsDJFu2dQn6vy1fUqyq445DRrS0MYc3ngCv0Sc0ApgNgxtM3FNOlgFvKyflYymHgDdroa3s3_s_usBumXi3Sa0kM_9hf472_QOhWzrqMEUt73vFvT97QFLJUxiqhGantq0/s400/bbblift.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Cardstock - base is Whisper White, tempting Turquoise, Gable Green cardstock.

The one on the right i taught in one of my clubs - it's a basic, cute summer card. The one on the left, i made for my upline, Kimberly as a thank you card. They both use the same stamp, and basic color scheme, but just put together differently. I will list the recipes below.<br /><br /><a href="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC04720.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 431px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 346px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y78/sundries/DSC04720.jpg" border="0" /></a> Left card: Background is Crushed Curry, Basic Black, topnote diecut in Bermuda Bay. Circles punched with the 1 1/4 " SU circle punch in Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie cardstock. Ribbon is Melon Mambo polka dot. Stamps are from the Holiday Blitz set (#114982) .<br /><br /><br /><br />Right Card: Background is Sahara Sand cardstock, circles are punched with 1 1/4" SU punch in Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, and Old Olive Cardstock. Ribbon is bermuda bay.

I will be posting later today with some cards i made over the weekend, but in the meantime, i wanted to let you know about Cards For Heroes - it is a wonderful organization that send cards overseas to our servicemen/women, for them to use to send home when their loved ones have birthdays, or anniversaries, or holidays, sympathy, etc... there are no card stores for them in the middle of where ever they are stationed. That's where we come in:</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Friday night, July 24 at 6pm, join us at Portsmouth United Methodist Church, on East Main Rd. in Portsmouth RI as we create Cards for Heroes. There is no fee, and all cards will be shipped overseas for our military to use to send to loved ones. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>No prior stamping/cardmaking skills are needed, just a passion to do something wonderful and have great fun!! </div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Visit <a href="http://www.cardsforheroes.org/">http://www.cardsforheroes.org/</a> for more info on this cause!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Hope to see you then!!!</div>Stacy Vhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02134403789002815272noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4514226109182762286.post-63839083628986826992009-07-10T10:37:00.000-07:002009-07-10T10:43:33.520-07:00Don't Forget Bookmark<div>This was the basis of the bookmark that i did at our SU Club meeting last night -- i think the ladies really enjoyed making this, and i promised i would post the directions, so here you go!! </div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5356888074176432354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 170px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnTTGsuKkmKeImi0KCHWI2tQ23ZtLD3YEKnOBH-dzGODZvSH6DZJukLYXJ8gEuqEPjl578M8u7W4ZssJYsUvSpwz0iKy6jNe4cmdM7XOYUmylypcXHDxDOE0w19LSHfnhEx4h7AzHFU9w/s400/bookmark.jpg" border="0" /></div><br /><p>Instructions<br />Don’t Forget bookmark</p><p><br />1.

I can't believe i was such a BAD blogger, and let a week go by without posting!!! i am so sorry!! I vow, never again.<br />So, without making you wait any longer - here are some fun pics of what i did this week.<br /><br />First, we have Cait's last day of school, and her teacher's birthday, well, what do you get a teacher who is just the BEST?! A cake -- but not just any cake -- a paper cake, lol. I used my Cricut and my Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge to create this two layer cake. I filled the boxes with chocolates and mini tootsie rolls.<br />Then i added a cup full of goodies on top with ribbon. The sides of the cake slices are stamped with the apple from the "Tart and Tangy" Stampin' Up Set.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoCKI-afKcxrkE_Khp1_Jf92-k9AGAtGARkR1iO-pa8AT4pTN5QCq5wXmoC4pvPzlMmp69orE67W00hC0VqKlDZ7cQowF0At_KNEPY0ytQyH5HT-PX1n_cWObgsTOUPWimr1pLZy7kaCg/s1600-h/DSC04629.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352920341391846242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoCKI-afKcxrkE_Khp1_Jf92-k9AGAtGARkR1iO-pa8AT4pTN5QCq5wXmoC4pvPzlMmp69orE67W00hC0VqKlDZ7cQowF0At_KNEPY0ytQyH5HT-PX1n_cWObgsTOUPWimr1pLZy7kaCg/s400/DSC04629.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ30y4J6OlskFdzr6JSyPR0MKHGMN3BGZT8HnA2ImSwxPq4KE5JAdGmvZf5qnuSB4LMD8WLs-yKoXD7VpHI2HpERBc2279VgarS19pEkf9pQviI4TM2qC0fD45rpWkQn2itAV54_vnVVE/s1600-h/DSC04628.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352920066464857586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ30y4J6OlskFdzr6JSyPR0MKHGMN3BGZT8HnA2ImSwxPq4KE5JAdGmvZf5qnuSB4LMD8WLs-yKoXD7VpHI2HpERBc2279VgarS19pEkf9pQviI4TM2qC0fD45rpWkQn2itAV54_vnVVE/s400/DSC04628.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Next, here is my card for last week's color challenge that i posted below.

I hadn't been to this since I had met Dave over 12 years ago, and i first went when he was in the National Guard (Military Police) and me and my friend Vicki went - I have always wanted to get back to go, but for whatever reason, it just never fell on a good weekend it seemed.. either too hot, too rainy, to busy.. etc. So, this was my chance!</div><div>I love this!! The louder the better IMO.. however, Cait didn't see it that way.. LOL<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrr638_zNs-NDUdrf7D7KYdd8Wag-7Xfb1PDq-WrYf4rbNqEFYJRuBv18kqFxFblPhW5uA7WZPtHidNmOy_7syWNhn7FY9TVGjz0-Y0mgw9RDtPE1i05o-0JDJcd-gzRS_EfLSJGbBPUA/s1600-h/DSC04685.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352919572299394082" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrr638_zNs-NDUdrf7D7KYdd8Wag-7Xfb1PDq-WrYf4rbNqEFYJRuBv18kqFxFblPhW5uA7WZPtHidNmOy_7syWNhn7FY9TVGjz0-Y0mgw9RDtPE1i05o-0JDJcd-gzRS_EfLSJGbBPUA/s400/DSC04685.JPG" border="0" /></a> I was able to get some great shots -- and that is hard to do when they are flying overhead anywhere b/w 300-650 mph! LOL I need to clean them up in photoshop, and brighten them up. but overall, not bad. </div><div>This first pic is of an F22, the newest plane in the show..

They are awesome --- there is no way you can go and not stay til the end just to see them. The way they fly so close together and fluently, just gives me chills.... again, loud and fast...

And she totally loves designer purses... so, a few posts ago, i showed you the cute Top Note purse i made her, and now i am showing you the second half of her gift - this was a purse that i found the wonderful template online (link below) and i knew she would love it! I used the Designer Series Paper - Urban Oasis (which is sadly retiring at the end of this month!!) It features a Top Note die as the top, and 2 scallop envelope dies on the front. Here is a pic of the closed up purse: (You can click on the pic to enlarge!)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmU5A1QCj0oy6C6074ouwQUBS2nUvxXwRRc0WYNKA-yOnU4jsVoEhfOEm8PXGJ1cm9Ug9t75hDxj8lw0JGic9HfmpHWvOg7lMIIfA352bfYmfwNQAvWdGa2l68IXXFk5FZ-yzk26f8Llg/s1600-h/DSC04621.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346400547115569058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmU5A1QCj0oy6C6074ouwQUBS2nUvxXwRRc0WYNKA-yOnU4jsVoEhfOEm8PXGJ1cm9Ug9t75hDxj8lw0JGic9HfmpHWvOg7lMIIfA352bfYmfwNQAvWdGa2l68IXXFk5FZ-yzk26f8Llg/s400/DSC04621.JPG" border="0" /></a> Here is the link: <a href="http://rosemariediehl.blogspot.com/2009/05/love-me-urban-purse.html">PURSE here</a> <----- Tutorial link!!!
