Back from Disney

I'm Home!!!! We had a Great time. I have tons of pictures to go through but I do have some to share. I'm off from work this week too and it's going so fast. I'm preparing for a holiday Stamp a stack I'm hosting and I'm also making 25 christmas cards for a donation for a silent auction my DD's School is hosting. Plus I'm doing a craft fair the weekend after Thanksgiving. My brain has been all over the place so I've been stamping but nothing to upload yet.

I had a ton of fun but It's great to be home.
Up pic is of the children the first day at breakfast.


THis is my whole family that went. My Sisters and mine. We called it the CESMEHART's DISNEY VACATION. THis is at Epcot if you haven't guessed.

My Sister and I at Breakfast with Mickey and friends. Mini is so pretty isn't she.

Here's my husband Todd, Alexandra, my Daughter and myself the first day at the Magic Kingdom.

This was at Epcot at cartoon town I think.

On a sadder note when I got home and checked my e-mail I got some very sad news about a fellow stamper friend of mine. I want to post what I wrote in the splitcoaststamper forum.

Here's what I wrote:

Nancy is an avid Stamper. She is one of my upline Demonstrators. She hosts all our meetings and is so generous with everything. She always willing to help. She's been on a stampin up cruise and goes to the conventions and regionals alot. She loves making cards and I'm asking if it's in your heart to do, please send her a thinking of you card. I know it'll be a long time before she'll have a good smile on her face but I wanted to do something to make her feel good about herself. I know she'll be very honored to have the cards and display everything like she always does.

If you are interested please pm me for her address. Thank you in advance~

It's only 3 hrs a day but it's right smack in the middle of the day. I take my daughter to school and get a few things around the house done then it's time to leave and then when I get home My brain is too tired. Hopefully I'll adjust and I'll find more time. This card is for my Sister's Birthday. I love this cupcake from Visual Verve
TFL

Paper: Pale plum, Shimmery white, Urban Garden DP.

Slate Project for customer

Whew, I'm done.
This took a while but I'm thrilled with the out come. This is only the second time I've ever stamped on slate and this time it worked out a ton better. This time I sealed the slate with a clear finish then I painted it with an ivory acrylic paint. I still have to write the customers name on it and it's still needs to dry more. I used craft ink to stamp and colored the flowers in using a blender pen believe it or not. The blender pen worked Great. TFL

Stamps: live your dream, sunflower from michaels, Eastern Influences,

Paper: none

Ink: craft and acrylic

Accessories: blender pens, slate, clear sealer,

Techniques: stamping on slate,

Yeah I got to do the ic144

It's a day later then I wanted but I was just thrilled I found time. I did this for the ic144.

My inspired picture was the top left picture. I borrowed this cute little owl from my sister and I had the background behind him from an expo I went to last year. Also I went with blush blossom just because I thought it flowed with the owl color. I got to use my new scallop punch from stampin up too. LOVE IT!!!! If you look close you'll see that I went over the eyes with a gel glaze pen to give them an embossed look. (It's hard to tell though at first. I used the dots template for the bg layer. It went with the owls eyes. I colored the owl using creamy caramel and blush blossom. The picture is soft and I wanted to keep my card soft too. This will be great to give someone for any kind of accomplishment. It would even be good for a new welcome card for a baby girl.

it was so nice to stamp again. I currently working on a custom slate piece. I really want to get to the featured stamper challenge today. Thak s for stopping by.

I'm still around

Hi Everyone,

I'm still around!!!

It's been a while since I posted and I just wanted to check in and let everybody know I'll be back stamping soon. Schools in and I'm thrilled. It was a great summer but I love routine like I'm sure most of us do so getting back into school will be great. Oh and I started a New Job too so I haven't been able to stamp anything lately. It's been 11 years since I've worked a real job so it's taking a little time for me to fit in the extras. (Like stamping) but I will so don't worry. (I'm addicted).

See you soon
Terry

sympathy for a friends family

I always get sad when I have to make these kind of cards but if you have to make them using these Verve stamp sets it'll work great. The Cross is the prettiest I've seen around. I just got a bunch of Julee's stamps. I'm looking forward to playing with them. This card is made from two of the Verve sets. ! is called Note of Prayer and the other is called Artful Elegance. You can find them here if you want to buy some for yourself.

This card got started because of the ic142 and this is the one it's based on. I changed the blue though to the sage because Verve sent me the pretty ribbon for an order thank you. How nice was that. My inspiration was the color and the the scroll leaves. I didn't use leaves but it's similar in my eyes.




My Recipe:

Stamps: Verve stamps

ink: Brown Stazon, chocolate chip, whisper white

Paper: Chocolate chip, whisper white ancestory designer papr,

Accessories: Scallop square punch, Verve satin ribbon, dew drops
ticket corner punch.

Inspiration challenge thank you

Today I've been wanting to stamp all day. I wanted to make a teacher at my daughters school a thank you. She did something really nice for me. Also she's getting married this may and told me she loves hearts and roses. I'm thinking of making a bunch more for her to be able to write out on her own for thank yous. She also has been tutoring my daughter this summer so I've started thinking of what to give her at the end. This may be the ticket.

I can't believe I went through with it

I can't believe I got a tattoo!! I'm turning 41 next Sunday and I wanted to do something totally out of character and unpredicable for me. I'm really conservative with everything usually. I do need to blame my dear friend Susan though. She got the idea rolling. Okay okay Don't laugh!!! My face totally gives my pain away. It did hurt but it only took 15minutes to do.

I did design it myself. I omitted the center of this kind thoughts stamp then added the flower that's with the set. I originally had just the stem as the flower going down but I wanted to put my daughters name in the design so when I went to the tattoo place Mr Billy redrew my picture with my daughters name in. He was amazing. A very talented man.

I'm still as sweet as I've always been and I won't be getting another. So don't worry. One in a life time is plenty for me. It's been 2 days and I still like looking at it and it's in a spot that can be covered easy and shouldn't bother anybody. My husband didn't mind either way which surprised me. He liked that I designed it. My parents think I'm crazy but I think I'm definitely less predicable. Thanks for stopping by. Terry

I needed to share
these Pictures. I think they are so fun. We went to Hershey Park last weekend with my sisters family. My Daughter was so happy to have her cousins with her. These pictures were taken by my brother in law and by a wall in the Hershey factory. My BIL had the kids posing. It was so fun and the kids were so into it. Kudos to my BIL. It was a fun start to our long, long day.
