A photo and a birthday today.

This picture was made by one of my customers(Gail Macdougal). I asked her to help me design a card for another customer(Debbie Kellogg) who loves m&m's. So she came up with this, not a card but she did post something on the back. I saw a post somewhere else about m&m's and thought of this so I went searching to find it just so I could post it. This was made out of  Stampin up punches.If you want the punches she used I'll have to ask Gail.

Maybe if Gail comes on to see this, she can post it in the comment section.

 

Hope you like our photo today

I also have something else to share today. 28 years ago today, My handsome boy was born, I went to the doctors on the morning of the 5th and was told that I was in labor, HMMM Didnt even know it. So, he sent me to the hospital to get checked in because I was going to be having my baby. I did not know what I was having but I did suspect it was a boy. I was sick for my whole pregnancy so his father called him baby Ralph. LOL.
Anyway, that day while I was in labor it started snowing, My sister was supposed to be with us for our baby's birth, about midnight her husband called her and told her she had to come  home, it was snowing up a storm, We got dumped on. It snowed for the whole next day.
Anyway, Jimmy(my sons father) was now very nervous because he had to do this alone now, but he stayed with me.  Finally after 36 hours of Labor, my son was born via c-section and 9 pounds 1/2 ounce and 21 inches long. He was too big for me to deliver. Anyway, just wanted to share that today is his birthday. Happy Birthday Scott Allen Ellsworth, I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART.
Thanks for Stopping By.

Scrapbooking Class

With the Help of 2 of My Downline(Mindy and Sandie), we are holding a scrapbooking originally created by Rhonda Wade, one of the top 100 demonstrators. She put together the class and training for us to purchase and we are creating her version, Mindy's version and Sandie's version to share with you at this event.

This class will give you 20 completed pages to scrapbook your christmas photos. So, make sure you  take lots of photos over the Holiday season. This event will take place on 2 days, for part one and part 2, January 20 and 27th and will cost you $50 unless you bring a NEW Guest, then you will pay only $45 each. Thats right your NEW guest will get all of you in your group a $5 discount.

The only catch is, we need to have payment for this class by December 31st because the Kit we are using is in the current mini and it ends on Jan. 2 so we want to be sure to have money in hand to order the supplies for the event.

You will each get a Scrapping Kit(we will cut the pieces ahead for you) and the plastic protector pages to put all of your pages in plus all the supplies you will need to make the pages. The kit alone is $21.95 plus shipping and tax, so you will be getting your money's worth.

There will be prizes and fun things so come and join us.
Watch for an email with full details and be sure to save the date and tell your friends.

My Sister and I stamped today and a card

Today was a fun day. Some of you have heard me talk about my family, I have 7 brothers and 1 sister. Well, today I spent the day stamping Christmas Cards with my sister(Marie). She lives about an hour away or maybe even just over an hour and she came to my house to stamp with me today. We dont get alot of time to spend together, so we did this last year and again today.
 I thought I'd share this with you today. We made 24 cards each, and had fun, we worked together and finished all we wanted to do. I'd show you the cards but they are the same ones that Scotty and Kylie(my grandkids) made with me on Thanksgiving day and I already posted those.
So, here is the photo of my sister. She is 8 years older than me and I have a story to share with you that she shared with me..... the day I was born she was waiting by the phone to hear that she had a baby sister. Back then, they didnt tell you what you were having. So, because my sister already had 4 brothers, she wanted a baby sister. She tells me that she waited very patiently and was hoping that the news would come before she had to get on the bus to go to school. Also back then, no one could go in with you when you had babies, otherwise she probably would have been there.

Anyway, Here is the photo of my sister.....

Of course I caught her looking down counting. LOL

There is no better friend then a sister. I LOVE YOU SIS.
Thanks for coming to spend the day with me.
Hugs




Next I would like to share a photo of a card that I made, I made this card for a swap at my uplines meeting awhile back and thought I'd share it with you today. I got the idea from here...
http://www.kraftingkreations.com/2011/12/luminary-easel-card-and-tutorial.html
This card was made by Amanda Corbet and a video is on her blog for viewing to make your creating a little easier.

 The first one was with the light on so there is a shadow and you can't really see the effects of the candle inside. So then I took another photo of it with the lights out and you can see the yellow glow of the flashing candle inside the card. See  below for the second photo.

Another Mindy Card - Evergreen

Here is another one of Mindy's cards from our last card buffet. I contemplated ordering this stamp set but never got around to it. Now its too late, It may not make the catalog next year so I have to hold off to see. I hope it does because I really think this set has potential.

I am not sure what exactly she used but I'm gonna guess. Evergreen stamp set, Midnight must ink, card stock, ribbon and designer series paper. I  think it was vanilla card stock and crumb cake as well and crumb cake ink too I think. Maybe Mindy will post in the comments and let me know if I mixed anything up. Also not sure if she got this card somewhere or if it were her own. Not sure what set had the Peace in it but I know she markered it.

2nd make n take from meeting and my Thursday night party

This card was kind of fun to make. This was originally done by Tami white and she used Inspired by nature for a stamp. Since that one retired I used Serene Silhouettes. I love how it turned out. Not too bad for my first brayer card. I will be exploring with this technique. Tonight at the party Jess Shea had some great brayer cards. I will be experimenting with this. Come back for more tomorrow.

So, You already know, stamps are Serene Silhouettes, Inks are Daffodil Delight, Riding Hood Red, Soft Suede, Bravo Burgundy and Black Stazon ink. Black Stampin Write Marker. You also need burgundy, daffodil and white card stock along with a brayer and a sponge. Hope you like the card. Good Day to all.

Make n Take for my Downline Meeting

Its been a crazy busy week all ready and its only Tuesday, WOW. Just Realized that I dont have a post scheduled for tomorrow yet so I figured I better get one on her.

I  Had my downline meeting tonight and this was one of the make n takes that we did. I will post the other one Friday Morning because its the one for my party on Thursday and I dont want to share it until after the party. I found this one on Pinterest. LOVE THAT SITE. Although I wish I knew how to tag my own and put them on there. Especially when they are my own or my downline or customers own design.

For this card, we used the DayDream medallions and Perfect Pairs stamp set.
For Ink we used Garden Green. Card Stock is Cherry Cobbler, garden Green and whisper White.
We used the tulip embossing folder and the Floral Framelits with the Big shot.
we used a 1 3/4 circle punch to punch the center of the wreath and then punched a white circle to put on top of the bottom layer of the wreath because no punch would fit.
We used the Cherry Cobbler Dotted ribbon and some Rhinestones. Rhinestones are on sale for one more day. Be sure to look online at the online extravaganza. I am placing my order first thing in the morning because I wont be home till late and I dont want to miss out. The Clear blocks and the block caddy is also on sale. Email me right away if you want to order any of them.
Rubber Hugs.
Thanks for Stopping by.

This Card was made by one of my newest recruits, Jackie botala, She used Snowflake Soiree and embossed the images in Silver, I cant remember the dsp but the card stock is white and crumb cake. Seasons greetings came from the set: snow swirled. Raspberry Ripple Ribbon and Scallop punch. Thanks for coming back. Will see you tomorrow.

 

I am hoping to have time to sit and create today, My dad is currently in the Hospital so I'm headed there now and it will depend how he is doing. Today is Sunday but I'm posting this for Tuesday morning. I am rather enjoying the ability to schedule posts but I am forgetting that the posts wont happen on the same day so it might sound like I'm talking about the day at hand but I'm really not. LOL.

Rubber Hugs to all

Visit with Grandkids

My Son Scott and his family came to visit us for Thanksgiving. Nicole and the kids wanted to make some cards so we sat and made some. below are some photos of the fun we had. All While the Turkey was cooking.

Here is another card made by Mindy Brown. She and I did a card buffet on Sunday together and this was one of her cards.

Here is what she has to say about it.

 

I had seen other cards using that snow much fun stamp set and other framelits, but nothing stuck out that I can remember. I wanted something fairly easy so I used what I had. Here's what I can think of that I used

 

 

Stamps: Snow Much Fun

Dies: Label collection framelits

Cardstock: cherry cobbler, gumball green

Paper: snow festival designer, red or silver glimmer paper

Ribbon: 3/8" stitched satin gumball green

Misc: festive paper-piercing pack, 1/2" circle punch, stazon black ink, watercolor pencils or markers

 

Thanks for Stopping by and I hope you like her card.

Card Creation

This card was made by one of my Downline, Mindy Brown. She made this for our most recent card buffet and I believe is making this for her swap for my next downline meeting. She used the Punch Pack from the holiday mini and created this card by punching the images out of the white and adhering them to the color to make it pop. She also used the adorning edgelits to style up the edge and added a sentiment. This is a great creation and a wonderful addition to our card buffet last Sunday.

Here are Mindy's comments regarding the card and where she got the idea.

The christmas cheer/merry minis card is something that I saw on splitcoaststampers. Her name is Andrea Borries - snippetbyandrea.blogspot.com/2012/07/clean-and-simple-christmas-cards.html. I did tweak it to use very vanilla & chocolate chip cardstock and then added the adorning accents edgelit & embossing folder plus satin seam binding once you asked me to make it more exciting. I also changed the colors to garden green, daffodil yellow and real red. And lastly, merry minis punches without the stamp set.

 

Thanks for checking in today. Come back again. I will be posting regularly.
Hugs

A "Betty Creation"

First of all I want to say HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL OF YOU. I hope you enjoy your day.

Next, As most of you know, I do not always create my own cards, Well, once in awhile I get inspired to do so, This card is one of those Betty Creation Cards.

I saw this Die when it came out in the Holiday catalog and I thought of the potential. I put off buying it at first but finally I had this idea in my head and decided to purchase it. I used this card for my card buffet and since that I also used it at several of my workshops and everyone loved it so I thought I'd share it here.
Supplies used to make this card are as follows.....
Whisper White Card stock for the base, Brushed Gold card Stock for the layer which in embossed with the Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder, The snowflakes are cut out of Red glimmer and Silver glimmer using the Snow Flurry Bigz Die. There is a silver brad in the center of the snowflakes holding them together and they are dimensionaled to the embossed layer.
Lastly I used the More Merry Messages stamp set for the Merry Christmas and embossed it in Silver Embossing Powder.
Thanks and I hope you like it.
Hugs
Betty
