So I finally got to stamp with lots of new products.
Last night was my Stamp & Go Club.
I wanted to let them try out lots of new products, so we hit all
three holidays/seasons.
The first card was Halloween.
I LOVE this stamp set — If The Broom Fits….
The card base is Basic Black cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" — score at 4 1/4".
Then I cut 1 1/4" off one side. I added a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock
inside for your message On the front flap I added a piece of Tangelo Twist
cardstock — 5 1/4" x 2 3/4". Next is a piece of the Happy Haunting designer paper
that is 5" x 2 1/2". The brooms are stamped on a 3" x 3" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock with the NEW Archival Black stamp pad. This is adhered to a piece of
Basic Black cardstock that is 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" and adhered to the front flap with dimensionals — make sure you don't put dimensionals on the right side or you'll close your card forever. I stamped the words on a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock with the Archival Black stamp pad. Oh, I forgot to tell you, I cut the words off the bottom of the stamp so I could use it by itself — makes stamping the words so much easier. Cut the stamped strip in a banner on the left side — adhere to Basic Black cardstock — cut the banner shape on the black. Last adhere the banner to the card with dimensionals.
Stamping Again
Camping is over — sorry for the upside down and side ways pictures.
I posted from my iPad and the pictures look fine on that.
When I got home and was on my computer I saw the emails — yikes.
Well at least you knew I was having fun — right.
I got home about noon — put all the camping stuff away, started laundry, took a shower — it was so hot this weekend. Then is was time for stamping.
I prepped for Stamp & Go Club — those pictures will come later in the week.
There is still much stamping to be done.
I stamped this fun card grouping last week when I was in Michigan.
This is a great set of cards to give to your children or grandchildrens' teachers.
There are all different color schemes and each card has a different way to say
Thank You. We used the Farmer's Market designer paper on each card.
We used lots of different flower punches and different colored cardstock to create many different looks.
Hiking Stephens Falls
One more family day. Today I actually took a small hike — I haven't done that in years. We took the grandsons on the Stephens Falls hike. It was VERY warm — high temps were 91 degrees today.

At the beginning of the trail is a Spring House which was used for refrigeration. The boys thought this was pretty cool. Here are the boys standing by the spring house.

Great Grandpa is standing watching the boys play by the falls.

The boys wanted to push Grandma into the water. I really had to watch where they were.

Back home in the morning — time to get some stamping done. I have a very busy couple of weeks coming.
