I have the best work staff. They help make our work a good place to be. They are great listeners, mostly because I never stop talking. They often keep me laughing. They always remind me what I need to be doing, as I am often sidetracked. Most of all, they are amazing ladies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The ladies helped me celebrate my birthday with special treats and gifts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So to thank them for being so kind, I created these gift boxes. These sure turned out cute.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was so nice to get into my room and create. Its been a while since I've had time to spend creating fun stuff. I've missed it.</div>

Please know that I no longer sell Stampin Up products, or have classes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I am still using their products. However some of the products are out dated.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Products used today:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
That's what I love about creating.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have always wanted to try the Napkin transfer technique.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had an extra day off from school today, and I was given a package of paper napkins.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So it seemed like a good time to try the transfer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This technique is a great way to get a cool </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
back ground on your card or scrapbook page, without spending any money.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Supplies needed are:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Printed paper napkin</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Scissors</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ironing board or towel</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Iron</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I started with my mini Iron, but decided I needed my full size iron)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
two sheets of unprinted paper</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
plastic wrap, brand doesn't matter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Card stock, cut to size you need</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My card stock was cut at 4 x 5 1/4 inches.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just to enough to fit the front of an A2 card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUNAbkV5fW4xbu20UaxySQJFYrjAc_JTC5VpjwsJVLBN9M76PonPQdhlYyZSp1pRnCtaixiiGja1bqCoZEmbmzsD70E-BlIKV8BW2zOv_ESkknB26KdakuQiF6THT1qkDN-UGbi2bAgbeE/s1600/IMG_0695.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUNAbkV5fW4xbu20UaxySQJFYrjAc_JTC5VpjwsJVLBN9M76PonPQdhlYyZSp1pRnCtaixiiGja1bqCoZEmbmzsD70E-BlIKV8BW2zOv_ESkknB26KdakuQiF6THT1qkDN-UGbi2bAgbeE/s320/IMG_0695.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After you have all your supplies, take one napkin and peel away all the layers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are 3 layers to the decorated paper napkins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You want the printed piece only.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDDSIPYMw_S2bY4LmR9pzlJpVQ1HllK8LIJ_veRzcGqht2eMHEgzV_l2FPDGuSws6uJ23uwhXW1b6YqSMD11NW_YtmT2FcPU3QBITwDx8Qh2yexEqp3iScikeXz5kWgEJGOxr9Rqcu9ysP/s1600/IMG_0696.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDDSIPYMw_S2bY4LmR9pzlJpVQ1HllK8LIJ_veRzcGqht2eMHEgzV_l2FPDGuSws6uJ23uwhXW1b6YqSMD11NW_YtmT2FcPU3QBITwDx8Qh2yexEqp3iScikeXz5kWgEJGOxr9Rqcu9ysP/s320/IMG_0696.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, Layer all pieces as shown below:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Towel/iron board</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sheet of unprinted paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Your precut card stock</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
one sheet of plastic wrap to cover your precut card stock</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Situate your napkin over plastic wrap</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then lay down another piece of unprinted paper</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everything should be sandwiched, nice and neat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUkoRsUyIj-r061hdwAPrYFDKi0yYd78f7uRNckqJRdP2MZAgoEFJqXOrhfmhRSCKyieCG3c3BkMN26ffU8vDfOMyLyT3zmaoVNowdRixtpzhnBOzD6_BoQwlEnIYq5PnSgu9hFh65XcSJ/s1600/IMG_0697.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUkoRsUyIj-r061hdwAPrYFDKi0yYd78f7uRNckqJRdP2MZAgoEFJqXOrhfmhRSCKyieCG3c3BkMN26ffU8vDfOMyLyT3zmaoVNowdRixtpzhnBOzD6_BoQwlEnIYq5PnSgu9hFh65XcSJ/s320/IMG_0697.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Start ironing on the top, unprinted sheet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I ironed for about 30 seconds, then started lifting layers to see if the napkin is sticking to the card stock. I kept ironing in places that were not sticking well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once I was sure the napkin was sticking to the card stock, I started peeling everything apart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is a little messy. Be careful not to peel the napkin from the card stock.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Trim the napkin around the card stock.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And its ready to use.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Just a little show and tell!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I spent the fall season working on two quilts for Christmas gifts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those gifts were given to my girls.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm pretty sure they knew all along what I was making them for Christmas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I asked alot of questions, to figure out colors, and patterns, they would like best.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Quilting has been passed down in my family. Hand quilting, machine quilting </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and everything in between.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone in my family had and has, some sort of artistic, creative powers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm happy to say, my daughters are finally showing their creative powers. Now that they both own homes and have families of their own, they are creating beautiful works of art to decorate their homes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's nice to know, Mom and Grandmother taught me well enough to pass something on to my own girls. I love seeing their creations as they become more creative.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before Mom got sick she bought a quilting machine. She loved playing with it. She tried all kinds of creative quilting styles. and designs. I'm not that brave. I have been using my Mother's quilting machine, but for now I tend to stick to simple quilting styles.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its still bitter sweet, using her machine. I miss Mom, keeping an eye on me, and reminding me to make sure I keep the wrinkles off the backing, and be mindful of my stitching. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not too tight, not too loose.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pictures are not the best. But it is the dead of winter here. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And cold dreary days make these quilts much needed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, I created Birthday card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trying to use up the tons of paper and products I have collected over the years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, I used paper that I got, from who knows where, but I know its pretty old.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These papers have been in my stash for years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today was their lucky day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used Stampin Up's Flourishing Phrases to create this card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As well as the Flourish Thinlits</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And this is what I came up with.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Directions for the Folded card:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To create the folded card, I used a 12x12 piece of card stock. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the score board and scored it at 6 inches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihOraC03P1MkzlRYkHY-BdbDpcLiiaKxf9NY8dCq3s0X5lHg_bgjxNXBbmuNcrL6Q5UUZ6vdrA626in5hPOlPwjdcRBjQMB24lFBz_kAvWc-6xYCyJYH_KNE0MRtp-HPgIENHuQVq1J8Hy/s1600/20170102_192400-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihOraC03P1MkzlRYkHY-BdbDpcLiiaKxf9NY8dCq3s0X5lHg_bgjxNXBbmuNcrL6Q5UUZ6vdrA626in5hPOlPwjdcRBjQMB24lFBz_kAvWc-6xYCyJYH_KNE0MRtp-HPgIENHuQVq1J8Hy/s320/20170102_192400-1.jpg" width="238" /></a></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then turn the paper and score again at 6 inches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This should have created a scored cross, plus sign or X across your paper.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whatever you want to call the score lines.</div>

Well, dress them up, of course! </p>
<p dir="ltr">I used Stampin Up's Flourishing Phrases stamp set and Flourish Thinlits for this card set. Ink colors, Melon Mambo and Pumpkin pie. Paper, Night of navy, Very Vanilla, and Gold Glimmer. Navy twine. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I was in desperate need of thank you cards, after the holiday. I'm also on a mission to use products I already have, to make room for new. </p>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It all started when my daughter shared a Pinterest pin,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
about a little girls poncho, that can be used with a car seat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cassie said she needed something for her daughter to wear while sitting in the car seat that would keep her warm during the winter months.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to check it out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was already frustrated with all the new rules about how children shouldn't wear coats in car seats.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought.....Thats just not right.<br />
If your wearing a coat, why wouldn't you put your child in one? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But my daughter says, No coats in car seats. Its not safe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Things change so often, I can't keep up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, when she sent the pin for a poncho, I jumped on the chance to make something warm for my granddaughter to wear in her car seat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the tutorial Cassie shared with me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What a wonderful idea!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made my Granddaughter two ponchos. Following the instructions on the site.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One for spring, and one for winter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The spring poncho, is anti-pill fleece and a floral print.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the winter poncho I used Luxe fleece, from Joanns, bought at 50% off. I love a sale!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Luxe fleece has a tighter weave which helps block wind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its nice and thick for warmth.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I added buttons at the neck on both of these.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my grand daughter wearing it in her car seat.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The woman who created the tutorial for these, did a fantastic job, and I had no problems following her directions. It makes my daughter, and I happy to keep this little girl warm in winter weather.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the site I used for directions, </div>

<a href="http://realitydaydream.com/fleece-lined-hooded-poncho-for-little-girls">http://realitydaydream.com/fleece-lined-hooded-poncho-for-little-girls</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved how cute these turned out, so I decided my Grandson (Alex's little one) needed one too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, I didn't really want a girly looking poncho. I had a hard time finding a tutorial for a boys poncho. So I decided to make my own poncho pattern.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sadly, I have no tutorial for the one I made. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I created it as I worked on it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcJ5JA0yr1AHnVQAVYLEXcX4cw3Dpu01sM424CAIO7k5n-GeqnVLSFJgIWHuOx3e8z2bYIklszWEzAzJxSp64xuB0iGYdQj8dSSBQFSR1ff_LJcyFYiT5Kwk_kiG0wnO4pcpkTJARI7-cA/s1600/20161204_133139.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcJ5JA0yr1AHnVQAVYLEXcX4cw3Dpu01sM424CAIO7k5n-GeqnVLSFJgIWHuOx3e8z2bYIklszWEzAzJxSp64xuB0iGYdQj8dSSBQFSR1ff_LJcyFYiT5Kwk_kiG0wnO4pcpkTJARI7-cA/s320/20161204_133139.jpg" width="180" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made it reversable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With a pocket on both sides.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also added a tie at the neck.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It turned out cuter than I expected.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought about adding a button under both arms.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But Alex said it wasn't needed.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He's a cutie too!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I forgot to get a picture of him wearing it in his car seat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its nice to know these babies can now be buckled into their car seats and still keep warm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What a great idea, whoever thought of these ponchos. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will continue to make these for each of my grandbabies as needed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And keeping them warm during northern weather is a must.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy sewing!!!</div>

Its been a while since I've posted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to let everyone know, that even though I am no longer a Demonstrator, I am still going to make cards and share.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will no doubt be using older stamp sets, since I have an extensive collection of stamps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the ideas and creations will continue to come.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was a little late sending cards this year, but I did manage to get some out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I miss making cards. But mostly I have missed making cards with friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope everyone had a safe and Happy Christmas!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's post is my 2016 Christmas card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On this Z folded card, I used Bright and Beautiful, Ornamental Pine, and Petite Pairs, Stampin Up Sets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The striped paper is from Hobby Lobby. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The green paper, was also folded in The Z fold style, placed on the card in the opposite position. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This fun fold seems to be all over right now, so I decided to try it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are lots of pop up, 3D options you can create using this fun fold style.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dear Friends, (you know who you are) I am missing you, and I miss class with you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been thinking of each of you, and wishing all of you well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Take care, and I hope to see you again sometime.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm still available if you need help with creative ideas!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy Stamping!!!!</div>

Over the many years, I have learned a thing or two about my sewing machines.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First and foremost..... Mom was right, and I should have listened.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While I was growing up, Mom taught me to sew, by hand and with machine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved machine better, as I didn't have the patience it takes to sew by hand.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted immediate results, which I got with a machine. But any screw up on my part, also meant many hours removing stitches. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mom had an old Singer/Kenmore machine, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It weighed a ton and It looked something like this....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS5TfI_9DdhRBLBXX1KWQ_qPV5zvKrk6mm4lquhk3LDpm71MJ3e8_oRRTINUn1XE1zly1v4PdCVbmYvxO6njvHyvYBhTliUHV7tQW05-LXF6q49PIPwixOggN2NJzQ1wmiJ7UX-R2Hk1qz/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS5TfI_9DdhRBLBXX1KWQ_qPV5zvKrk6mm4lquhk3LDpm71MJ3e8_oRRTINUn1XE1zly1v4PdCVbmYvxO6njvHyvYBhTliUHV7tQW05-LXF6q49PIPwixOggN2NJzQ1wmiJ7UX-R2Hk1qz/s1600/images.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not an actual picture of Mom's machine. But it looks pretty darn close to hers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I never knew what happened to her green machine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I remember breaking the reverse knob on hers, years ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was heavy duty. I sewed every prom dress for my sisters and I. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also sewed wedding dresses and brides maid dresses for my sister and I on that machine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And clothing for my girls. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, by the time I moved out and decided to buy a machine of my own, Mom said,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Buy one with all metal parts. They last longer."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ummm..... No I don't think so Mom, I want the new and updated versions.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With all the fancy stitches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, sad to say, I have been through 3 machines since then. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Two newer Singers, and one Brother machine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I very rarely used the fancy stitches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've finally learned my lesson. Mom was right.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After taking my Brother machine to be repaired, I was told that the new machines are built with all plastic parts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That I already knew. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What I didn't know, is that, these new machines are not meant to be fixed. You can't even get inside the machines to fix them, and they don't make replacement parts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The repair guy, said the machines of today, are what he calls</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Throw-away-machines".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Isn't that terrible?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So not only are we wasting money, but we are filling up the land fills.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And these machines can't handle heavy materials like jean, leather or canvas. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the culprit .......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I paid about $130.00 for this one.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He did manage to fix this one. Because I didn't break any of the plastic parts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But he said I may not have that luck next time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My machine repair man said, " Find an old machine. One with all metal parts."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hmmm...... Where did I hear that before????</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Off we went in search of a New/Old machine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Found one.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiREpfwKVoKVN96chwYvyjO5P6jQJO2gAsWWoJOiutdtRl7ZbOmSUEMSGJkrrfrcJ7C8LM_HBuZoIscyStqLvRzUGwpYotSziOsaeEQUQOdXk-LwIO7Z4bXbFDDz2qXZy10i4vIqjVu33ot/s1600/20160922_154546.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiREpfwKVoKVN96chwYvyjO5P6jQJO2gAsWWoJOiutdtRl7ZbOmSUEMSGJkrrfrcJ7C8LM_HBuZoIscyStqLvRzUGwpYotSziOsaeEQUQOdXk-LwIO7Z4bXbFDDz2qXZy10i4vIqjVu33ot/s320/20160922_154546.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't gamble. To buy a machine, I can't guarantee works, was hard for me to do.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought it. The straight stitch is a dream. But it looks like I'll have to take it to the repair guy, and have him fix the knob for the zigzag stitch and the other fun stitches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because they don't work right. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Got my fingers crossed, that it can be fixed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the mean time, I remembered, Mom gave me a Singer Featherweight Portable machine, many years ago.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love antiques! Isn't it cute?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It works great. All metal parts. Light weight, and portable.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pretty gold scroll print.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I never used it, because I didn't want to break it., or mess it up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well, the repair man says, USE IT!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Guess I will start putting it to use, while I wait for my Green Machine to get fixed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Dear friends, Listen to Mom.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Get yourself and OLD Machine. The ones that weigh a ton, and have all metal parts.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I been told, sewing is becoming a dying art. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Clothes are cheaper to buy than make, and quilting isnt carried down like it used to be.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After I get my green machine fixed, I may go find a few more, for my daughters.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I want them to learn all my mom taught me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks Mom, I love you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No more throw away machines for this family.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy Sewing!!!</div>

A change of pace for me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As most of you know, I have spent the last 5 years working on Stampin Up, cards, scrapbooking, and other paper crafts. All of which I LOVE!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have quit classes, for a while, to give myself some time for other things.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I miss having class. I miss my friends and the fun I have visiting and creating with them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However, I never seemed to have time work on other projects.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And so I am taking time to work on other awesome Creations!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of the extra projects, came to me, when my Mother passed away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I brought home her quilting machine and vowed to finish the few hundred of her unfinished quilts, and quilt blocks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mom, like most of us, started a new project, everytime a new inspirations popped in her head. However, many of those ideas did not get to the finishing phase.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My goal, is to take her half started quilts and finish them. Since I have no idea what her original plans for the projects were, the quilts will be finished according to my idea of what it should look like. Ending results, combination of Mom and I.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of the quilts will go to her Sun Shine group and some will be finished for Mom's grandchildren and Great grandchildren.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Recently, my Nephew had a little girl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Congratulations to the family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is a Beautiful little jewel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love you all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I choose some pretty pink and blue Friendship star blocks, from one of Moms boxes of unfinished quilts, for this little Princess.</div>

I am so addicted to my paper and stamping.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I needed a card for my Niece. Who is attending UW Oshkosh for a conference this week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was finally able to sit down at about 10:00 pm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Usually, I'm sleeping by 10 pm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, time got away from me, and by the time I finished the card, it was 1:30 am.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What???</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How in the world did I manage to lose that much time, and not realize how late it was?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Simple......</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm an addict to all things Paper!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to break out the new stamp set "Touches Of Texture".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the stamp set, and the background textures it offers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This set reminds me of the wild flowers we see when driving the Rustic Roads in Wisconsin.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which are all in bloom now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Father's Day is this weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As always, I'm a little late with my creation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dad, Don't Look till it comes in the Mail!!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone thinks they have the best Dad in the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Dad really is the Best Dad in the World.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I Love you, Dad!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted to create just the right card for him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found the perfect stamp set in the new catalog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ONE WILD RIDE</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I waited, and waited for my Stampin Up order to come,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I could use this stamp set to make an awesome card, for an Awesome Dad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I got it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And guess what?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a brain block. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn't figure out how I wanted to use this stamp.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I only knew, this was the perfect stamp to use for my Dad.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

My Awesome Dad!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What to do, what to do ?????</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went on Pinterest for ideas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank you to Stampyourartout.com , I found an idea.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I've seen this form of pop up card before, I've not tried it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I liked her idea for the card, so from there I created a similar card.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the extra pop up inside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is My take on her original idea.....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(no peeking Dad)</div>

Hello Again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its been a long time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Life has a funny way of keeping me busy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had some time to make a few cards. I made some cards for friends, that I can't wait to share.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Easy cards, however time consuming. It was relaxing to sit in my room, stamp, paint and create.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is what I came up with:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzdxvGslQWeZlF8CvN3VOgY27_PgB6H3OP75t1zp67XAeXlkgxhnwlUK5otrFevYCk3ciaK6YsUIxOtyxs0agthbY6H_FXyc6m43gqPjOXexvaUJrmZpGjFmiw-OBjRyy2RZSsdhbqHcXi/s1600/IMG_0294+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzdxvGslQWeZlF8CvN3VOgY27_PgB6H3OP75t1zp67XAeXlkgxhnwlUK5otrFevYCk3ciaK6YsUIxOtyxs0agthbY6H_FXyc6m43gqPjOXexvaUJrmZpGjFmiw-OBjRyy2RZSsdhbqHcXi/s320/IMG_0294+%25282%2529.JPG" width="253" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was browsing Pinterest and found a pretty card to CASE.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, I didn't have all the products needed to create the same card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So using the idea, I swapped out stamps, keeping the same color theme.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some of the products used on this card, are retired, but any of the new ribbons would replace what I've used, beautifully.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy Stamping!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<p dir="ltr">I have decided, after much debate, that I need to move on towards other adventures. Stampin Up! Has been fun. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I have meet some wonderful ladies, along the way, who have stamped my heart. I hope the friendships will continue. <br>
I still have an addition with stamping, scraping and all things "Paper", and I plan to continue creating. I just won't be teaching. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I will focus more time on family. As they are most important to me. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I wish you all, a healthy and happy life. Be safe, and hug your loved ones often. <br>
Thank you for all you have done to help me grow as a Demonstrator, teacher, and friend. I will truly miss classes and seeing all of your smiling faces!<br>
Thank you,<br>
Christy</p>

This die set is amazing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Easy to work with, and makes beautiful cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, as we speak this die set is unavalable. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No word as to when it will come back or if it will.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So this post is only a show and tell for those who already have the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Butterfly Die set from Stampin up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I saw a card on Pinterest, with this set as a pop up butterfly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However there were no directions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I understand the simple mechanics of pop ups and had to give the card a try.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here it is. My version.....</div>

I'm kind of on a Mini Scrapbook thing, right now.</div>
<div align="center">
Making mini scrapbooks are great gifts for the special people in your life.</div>
<div align="center">
They appreciate the work you put into it and the photos of family and friends you've added.</div>
<div align="center">
You can't go wrong with mini scrapbooks!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I used old Designer Series paper, to decorate this book.</div>
<div align="center">
Since I'm a paper hoarder, it was a good thing to use the last of this paper on the book.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I also used the Blended Bloom, Stampin Up, set (135906)</div>
<div align="center">
And the New Stampin Blendabilities work perfect with this stamp set.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
This 6 x 6 Mini Scrapbook is the easiest to make.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Take one 12 x 12 card stock, and score at 6 inches.</div>
<div align="center">
Turn 1/4 turn and score at 6 inches again.</div>
<div align="center">
Cut on score line, from the bottom, up to the center.</div>
<div align="center">
Fold all score lines, And decorate at desired.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Seriously, you can't get any easier than that!</div>
<div align="center">
Here is my finished Mini Book.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>

I can't wait to teach my Stamping Friends, how to create a Mini Scrapbook.</div>
<div align="center">
These are so darn cute and easy to make.</div>

<div align="center">
I used the Truly Greatful, Stampin Up set. (131733)</div>
<div align="center">
And a retired DSP.</div>

I love any idea that alows me to use up old Designer Series papers.</div>

My last creation for my Mother.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Mom fought stage 4 cancer for 4 long years, and fought it to her last breath.</div>
<div align="center">
I often question.... how cruel is God for giving the innocent such horrible deceases?</div>
<div align="center">
But Mom never wavered in her faith.</div>
<div align="center">
And did what she loved, till the end.</div>
<div align="center">
Mom passed on Memorial Day, May 26th. At the young age of (almost) 65.</div>
<div align="center">
Her 65th Birthday was the 30th.</div>
<div align="center">
She has no more pain. However, we are left to suffer a broken heart.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Mom's passion was Quilting.</div>
<div align="center">
Which she learned from her Mother and Great Grandmother.</div>
<div align="center">
She taught my sister and I to do the same.</div>
<div align="center">
Fabric was Mom's drug of choice, and mine turned from fabric to Paper.</div>
<div align="center">
Every time I visited Mom, she always had quilts that needed quilting.</div>
<div align="center">
Most were donated to the Sunshine Quilting guild, which donates to Children's Hospitals.</div>
<div align="center">
Mom left some unfinished quilts and projects behind.</div>
<div align="center">
I look forward to helping Mom finish her quilts, one last time.</div>
<div align="center">
I will think of her, as I finish those projects and pass them on to those she loved.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I loved creating for Mom. Birthday cards and such. </div>
<div align="center">
All of them loaded with family pictures, pop-ups and all kinds of amazing special effects.</div>
<div align="center">
She kept everything I sent her, and was my only follower on this blog.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I was asked to create one last book for Mom.</div>
<div align="center">
With a broken heart and lots of tears I created a book in her favorite spring colors......</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
The guest book.</div>
<div align="center">

Are you saving the left over Rubber from your stamp sets?</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
Well, you should... It is reusable.</div>
<div align="center">
I saved the rubber from a few of my sets. I don't save all of it, but some.</div>
<div align="center">
usually the sets that have alot of extra rubber are the best.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I wanted to reuse the rubber to create my own stamp set.</div>
<div align="center">
I have seen ideas about running the scraps of rubber through your bigshot on a die cut, </div>
<div align="center">
and creating shapes. That is a great way to reuse some of the rubber.</div>
<div align="center">
I've done this and it works wonderfully. </div>
<div align="center">
Here is a picture of those shapes I used with my die cuts.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not too bad!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But the extra rubber around your new stampsets can also be used to create</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
some pretty awesome handmade stamps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved the movie The Lorax.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And so I decided to create a stampset.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here I created the Truffula Trees stamps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Oh My Gosh.... Awesome!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To create the Lorax, I needed to buy the Undefined Stamp Carving Kit from Stampin Up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used the kit to create the Lorax.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, I carved the rubber, using the tools from the kit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So Cool and Easy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Spending time in my room today, while it once again snows.</div>
<div align="center">
Yuk!!</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I wanted to try making a mini scrapbook using some </div>
<div align="center">
extra pockets and pages left over from previous projects.</div>
<div align="center">
I can't remember where I found the tutorial for the pocket pages. </div>
<div align="center">
But this post is more about using scraps, leftovers and UFO's (UnFinished objects)</div>
<div align="center">
Sooooo........</div>
<div align="center">
This project turned out to be a mod-podge.</div>
<div align="center">
I picked up a paper pack at a rummage sale,</div>
<div align="center">
to create a beautiful scrapbook for a Christmas gift.</div>
<div align="center">
After creating the Christmas gift, I ended up with one, double sided pocket page.</div>
<div align="center">
Which I used in the center of my scrapbook.</div>
<div align="center">
I created two more pockets, using scrap papers, and added one to the front and back (inside) covers.</div>
<div align="center">
Also using scraps I created front and back covers. </div>
<div align="center">
Which gave me a four pocket mini scrapbook.</div>

I love my Stampin Up stamps, </div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I liked the placement of the flowers so much, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so I dug in my scrap box and found an odd sized card (probably one I cut wrong)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And decided to make a matching card.</div>

Everyone loves getting a Never-ending card!</div>
<div align="center">
Its so much fun to keep opening, and flipping through these cards.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
My Grandson just had his 2nd Birthday.</div>
<div align="center">
I thought he would enjoy a fun card like this.</div>
<div align="center">
But I also wanted to make it bigger like a book. He loves books.</div>
<div align="center">
So here is my version of a 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 inch card, with a sweet Birthday wish.</div>
