Sheltering Tree – Hello Life

I hope you’re not tired of seeing samples from the Sheltering Tree Stamp Set yet. Can you tell it’s one of my favorites? :) For my Hawaii swaps, I paired two sets…Sheltering Tree – Hello Life. I just love the bike stamp.

Sheltering-Tree-10

All the design pieces were cut using the Chalk Talk Framelits. Take note of the flower pot. It’s the piece that pops out of the tag. I just raised it up with a dimensional and put it back in the same spot. Cool, hey? The flowers are from the Sheltering Tree set. I love the clean look of this card.

Hello-Life

So with the help of my mother, they were completed on Tuesday. Earliest ever I think. I even made one for each of the AB Girls (Advisory Board). Everyone who chose to participate in the swap in Hawaii, was asked to make 26. One is for Stampin’ Up! and then 25 are to swap. We hand them in,  the staff divide them up, and then we get a bag of 25 in return. Pretty sweet deal. It’s like Christmas when we get our bag of swaps!!

And with that…we are ready to take off. We are on the same flights as one of my downline and her family. SO ready for a vacation!

Sherry Roth and family…

  

Edgar, Aaron and I…

  

We have a super tight connection in Vancouver, but here’s hoping we have a smooth travel day. And there better not be any snow on the ground when I get back! I’m just sayin’…

Aloha Everyone!

These little pockets are adorable…and are the perfect size for adding a gift card! They will be used up in no time:) It’s so much fun to sit down and just make projects that are already planned and pre-cut for me.

If you think you’re too busy to craft or be creative, I have good news for you! You can sign up for a prescription of Paper Pumpkin and you too can receive a little orange box on your doorstep each month. Crafting is very good therapy!! If you’re “too busy”, you need it all the more:)

You might also want to consider gifting a subscription…to your mother, daughter, grand-daughter…It would be a super fun mother/daughter activity, or a grandma/grandchild activity. I encourage you to give it a try.  Fun, easy, and who doesn’t love the gift of creativity?

Coffee Love

Anyone who knows me, knows that I LOVE coffee! My husband freshly roasts our own beans every week and we have a pretty nice espresso machine…I am so spoiled!! And the ladies that come to my classes are also spoiled with fabulous coffee:) Our kitchen is decorated in the coffee theme…right down to coffee cups engraved in our chair backs. Yep..we LOVE coffee.

Needless to say, I always look for coffee stamps sets in each new catalogue. Perfect Blend was probably one of the first sets I bought when it came out a couple of years ago. Sadly, it is retiring which means it will no longer be available in the next catalogue. If you love coffee, and haven’t purchased this set yet…WHY? ….it’s a small set and very inexpensive.

This is one set that I will be keeping in my personal stash…with a few other coffee ones over the years. Some sets you just can’t part with.

Here are a few samples I’ve collected from swaps:
