Stamp With Lyn

All girls luncheon :)

Hey everyone!  Well I really think I need a new camera this picture is sooo fuzzy.  Anyway, I went to a luncheon with all my new friends that Sean works with.  From left to right it was Jamie, Amanda, Nancy, Margo, Deb, me and Caroline.  These ladies are fabulous and they all are Active Duty or retired from the United States Navy!  And they are all Chief's and above - that is a great accomplishment in the Navy! Thanks Nancy for putting our luncheon together and inviting me!  We had a blast with lots of laughs and great food at a Mexican place called La Nopalara.  It has the best Mexican food in town.  This place is always packed - so good luck getting in for dinner.  I can't wait until next month for our next luncheon.

Scrapbooking Fun with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter

Hey everyone! I am soo happy I have finally caught up on some scrapbooking!  I have to thank my friend Tiffany for getting me back into the groove.  Thanks Tiffany!  She gave me this gorgeous paper from Cloud9Design.  I know - I know it's NOT Stampin' Up! but I had to use it for my favorite picture of me and Sean.  And I did use the new Stampin' Up! punch called Extra Large Two-Step Bird punch.  It worked really well to add a few embellishments on this page.  Here are a few closeups of my embellishments and how I used Dazzling Diamond Glitter on them.  I really love this new punch!

 

 

Awwwww "Two love birds"- Get it?  He he he I am soo corny :)  I really love how the two step bird punch allows for glitter :)

 

 

These embellishments were soo easy to make and the page only took me 10 minutes to do with all the glitter, punching and mounting everything on the page.

 

Here are the Stampin' Up! products used on today's featured project:

XL Two Step Bird Punch #117191 (mini)

2 Way Glue Pen #100425

Dazzling Diamonds Glitter #102023

Look bluuuuueee curtains!

Hey everyone!  I just wanted to share with you the blue curtains I put up in my craft room.  Loovveee them!!!  They were a great deal too!  I got two panels for $14 and the curtain rod for $12 at Wally World.  For those of you who don't know what Wally World is - it's my nickname for Walmart.  I was soo excited when I knew I was going to only spend $30 for both.  It was a great deal considering how much curtains and curtain rods are priced at places like Bed, Bath, and Beyond.  Sean helped me put these up - well he drilled the holes and measured everything to make sure my curtains were straight and I ironed them out so there were no creases from the packaging! They look really great!

Monkey Face!

Hey everyone!  Isn't he sooo stinkin' cute?!  He is soo cute!  This is one of the other projects we made at my open house last weekend.  It's a really quick and easy notecard that literally takes minutes to make.  I love our new clear mount stamps because it's easier to line an image up over a punched out image like I did here.  I also added some dazzling diamonds in his belly.  Love it!

Crop Night :)

Hey everyone!  Here is my group of scrappy pals from last night at a scrap store called Scrap N Stuff in Orange Park, Florida.  Everytime I go I have a great time.  Here we are from left to right top to bottom: me, Tiffany, Dani, Tanya, Vivian, Gail, and Kristen.  Here is a pic of us from two weeks ago that I didn't have a chance to post.  Better now than never :)  He he he!

The three pics above are the treats I made for my Scrappy Pals group.  I made little mini milk cartons two weeks ago. I think I may have already posted that picture.  Then for last nights event I made these cute little Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Holder Treats.  I used the Petal Card Bigz Die.  So simple!  Used some Designer Series Paper that is retired and some retired Wild Wasabi ribbon and walla you have a cute and quick treat holder.  I also used the "A Beautiful Thing" stamp set on the Whisper White circle.  And used the new punch XL Fancy Flower punch from the Occasions Mini catalog.

Love 6 X 6" Scrapbook page

Hey everyone!  Here is one of my projects that I did at my Sale-A-Bration open house.  Isn't that cute?  I love it!  He he he.  I just love how we can use one or two stamps and make a really simple background.  I used the I {Heart} Hearts Clear Mount Stamp Set to make the background and a part of my 3D heart.  Let's start with the background.  I used the outline heart to cover most of my CS and the little love heart to fill in the spaces.  I used the Big Shot to die cut my letters from Stampin' Up! Alphabet Simple Letters Bigz Dies set in Basic Black CS.  Then I used the new Embosslit Die "Scallop Heart of Hearts" to make the scallop heart in Rose Red CS.  Then I used the Full Heart punch to punch a heart out in Whisper White CS.  Then I stamped the 3 heart clear mount stamp in Classic Rose Red Ink onto Whisper White CS.  Punched that image out with the Heart to Heart punch.  I kept the short and wide heart to fill in the center of the Full Heart.  I also sponged Rose Red ink onto and around the Whisper White full heart.  I adhered all the hearts together with Stampin' Dimensionals and I adhered the letters on with the 2 way glue pen.  My favorite part is the scallop edge around the full heart punchout.  It is soo sassy classy!

Here is the recipe:

Brutis the blue Westie (West Highland White Terrier)

Hey everyone!  Okay so I have a blue Westie.  And here is his story.  My puppy Brutis is always chewing on something and usually it is a toy.  He is really good about that.  Until the Friday before my two open houses.  Every open house I have a grand prize and I had two sitting on the floor.  Well they have been sitting there for a while so I thought what's a couple more days - Brutis won't chew them up.  Boy was I wrong!  I was messing around on Facebook and I turned around and saw Brutis chewing on something blue.  I thought it was his blue chew toy.  The I saw his face - it was blue.  Then I looked at one of my grand prizes and it was missing.  A pacific point blue ink pad refill.  I started freaking out - blue dog on the way to the Vet in an hour, my brand new carpet, and my poor ink refill for my grand prize.  Well the grand prize wasn't a big deal but thought of it.  The carpet thank goodness has a built in scotch guard kind of thing, and the blue color came out naturally overnight.  Whew and the Vet wasn't so mad either.  She just laughed at me.  And of course Brutis is okay.  What an adventure.

 

So that is the story of Brutis the blue dog.

Her first trip to the store...

Am I corny or what?  This was the first time we took the Ford Fusion Hybrid to the store.  It was Saturday morning before my Sale-A-Bration 2010 open house and I had the urge to take the car out.  Could you blame me?  I had to get more chocolate for my awesome guests so of course I took the new car and made Sean take pictures.  So here we are :)  He he he :)  Just wanted to share with you a small and fun moment that Sean and I had :)

 

Have a great day and thank you soo much for stopping by and sharing a moment with me :)

Open House favors :)

Okay I already know what you all are thinking - NO CHOCOLATE FAVORS!!!  I know I just had this cute thought in my head about lollipops and they would be cute as little flowers.  So that is what I made.  But I had chocolate on the tables.  He he he!  I used the new Sale-A-Bration Clear Mount Stamp Set and it only took me about 15 minutes to make 24 flower lollipops.  That includes the stamping and punching.  I stamped the scallop image that is in the Vintage Label stamp set onto Pink Passion CS.  Then I stamped the "For You" sentiment that is also in that stamp set on Whisper White CS.  Then I got to punching - my favorite part :)  I punched the sentiments out using the 1" circle punch and the scallop image out with the scallop circle punch.  I adhered the two punched out images with Stampin' Dimensionals and used another dimensional to adhere to the lollipop to make a flower.  Then I used the 1/4" Pretty in PInk grosgrain ribbon and tied a knot on the lollipop stick.  This is a great gift or treat for someone.  Okay here is the recipe like I promised:

 

Lifesaver Lollipops # store bought

Vintage Labels #119122 (clear) (purchase of $50 before S/H and taxes and get this for FREEEEEEEE)
