Another Facebook Live Class

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

Yesterday was such a lovely day with lots of sunshine!

It added a spring to my step!

Today so far the sun is shining but I think it's to be short lived with storms this afternoon/evening.

For now, I will enjoy the sunshine coming thru the windows!

So, my project that I am sharing today is from another class I took on Facebook called "Stamp With Me" by Debbie Henderson. She has been racking her brain to come up with idea's to get people to stamp with her to pass the time away while everyone is under the stay at home orders.

The day before her class she posted what all was needed and measurements. 

She did not share the project until most of it was completed.

This time we needed lots of punched out daisies which we knew was not for a card or scrapbook page but then she revealed to us that it was for a picture frame!!

I took 1 picture of mine once it was completed.

Luckily I had this frame in my closet and I had no idea what to do with it until she revealed hers.

I'm happy to have found a purpose for it now!

Isn't it pretty?

Project Details:

Stamps: To A Wild Rose

Ink: Early Espresso

Cardstock: Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Seaside Spray, Gold Foil Paper, Whisper White

Accessories: Bold Butterfly Framelits (retired), Butterfly Thinlits (retired), Wild Rose Dies, Oval Layering Framelits, Daisy Punches (Large & Medium), Gold Satin Ribbon, Gold Faceted Gems, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

She is doing so much good in keeping us calm, sane and most of all helping us use what we all have in our stash! This is the 2nd class of hers that I did out of 7 and I am finding it to be so much fun and also keeps me motivated to craft!

Thank you, Debbie for bringing sunshine into our lives every single day!

My thoughts today...

Aren't those daffodils beautiful?!

They certainly make me smile!

Thanks for stopping by & have a wonderful day!

A Day of Fun

Hello & Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a nice weekend!

It was terrific along with some nice weather!

Yesterday I shared with you that Shawn & I went to visit with LeAnne Pugliese.

I'm sure everyone knows her! Her blog is WeeInklings.

I met LeAnne several years ago, i'm thinking 2005/2006 time frame.

I know I have a picture somewhere!

Anyways, we comment on one another's blogs and have kept in touch thru the years.

A few months ago she asked if we would like a ceramic Christmas Tree since she knows we collect them. It was her mom's and surprisingly she did not want to keep it for sentimental reasons.

Of course, we would love it and cherish it like all 80 of them I think we have! LOL 

Yea, i'm not kidding either!

We've been emailing back & forth the last couple weeks and this past Saturday we planned to go to her home (which is not really far, 50 miles away) and picked up the tree.

We visited and chatted and it was nice that our husbands finally met, too!

I got a sneak peek into her stamp room (which I loved!!) and grabbed some pictures before we headed back home to do yard work! Of course, the gabbing all day would have been much nicer than yard work but that's how the cookie crumbles, right?!

As a Thank You for the beautiful ceramic Christmas tree I made up a little gift for her.

She's a crafty woman so I had to up the bar! LOL

I found in my stamp room closet a picture frame that was just waiting to be used.

This is what I made for her....but first I had to figure out how to package it for her.

A long time friend of mine always told me that presentation is everything and how true is that?!

In that same closet as the frame I had a roll of Stampin Up White Wrapping Paper from eons ago.

Yep, it was still in the box!

I decided to stamp on it and then wrap the frame up for her!

The wrapping paper is stamped with the Parcels & Petals stamp set (just the flowers) and then I wrapped the present and tied it up with this GORGEOUS Petal Pink Organdy Ribbon!

That ribbon alone is to die for! Yes, Indeed!!

It looked plain so then I thought....I need a tag!

Delightful Day Bundle to the rescue!

It turned out SO much better than I could have imagined!

And then here is the big reveal....

I was pretty pleased with it!

I truthfully think I need to make myself one of these to hang in my stamp room once we get it painted! 

So that was how the day went and it could not have been a nicer day!

Thank you again, LeAnne!

Fern (as we have named the new tree after her mom) will be happy, taken care of and very much loved! Welcome, Fern, to the Aungst Forest!
