Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Hello friends,
   I'm writing this from a new lap top, Hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas. Ours was very nice , we were all together in the morning and then we all went separate ways for dinner. The boys are older now so they have places and people to see like girlfriend's parents' and grandparents' houses to be at. I did have many Christmas cards that I've made, but still can't get my scanner to work. I did get a new wireless printer with a scanner so hopefully I and my son can get it up and running and maybe I'll be able to get my pics up.

   I have to tell you about my ride to work yesterday. I was driving t o work at about 7:45 a.m. and what to my wandering eyes should appear but a beautiful rainbow filling up the sky. It was so bright, how could I have a bad day after that? What a way to end the month of December.
    Now we are coming upon the New Year. I will be glad to see this year end for I lost many family members and friends in the year 2011. One of my resolutions is to try and write in this blog more often and get some of the creations I will be working on. I also need to do some scrap booking more often. I know I say this all the time so hopefully it will work out. I still have yet to get the My digital software onto this computer. I have it on the main computer, my son will have to help me with that.
    I am still learning how these windows work. This laptop has windows 7 so it's a little different from what I am use to. Well I just wanted to check in and wish everyone a Merry Christmas a little late and a Happy and healthy and safe New Year. Take care and til next time.
 Happy Stamping,
 Pam

Well hello everyone.
    I see they've changed blog spot a little. Now I am going to have to learn how to navigate and post once again. It has been quite a while since I've posted. Let's see what's been going on since I last posted.? 
    I've moved I think you all know that. My younger son got his driver's license, went to college near by so he commutes back and fourth. My older son has gone away to Anna Maria college visits occasionally. Since we moved in we lost our hot water tank within a month and it took 11 days to get a new one, so we had no hot water for awhile. That was no fun. After a week of being in here our dryer died. I am choreographing a play in Acton, Alice in Wonderland for ages 5-11. it's been a great experience, this is my first time attempting something like this. It's been fun. That goes up the week  end before Thanksgiving. I just started putting my stamping classes on in September. I've been working on some Fall cards and now working on Christmas cards for a Stamp -  Stack class I am having the week end after Thanksgiving. Here are a few of the cards i have been working on, oh yea my scanner also had to be unpluggeg for the summer because our Central air wouldn't work right when it was plugged in I hope it's not the same story with the heat and the scanner, we'll see soon.

 Well I wanted to post my cards that I have been working on but I can't get the scanner  to work so it will have to wait until I can get it working or my son helps me figure it out. So til next time.

Happy Stamping,

Pam

New address

Hello everyone,

 It's been a while again. We have moved. We are finally in and most of the place is put together. It was a quick move didn't have any intention on moving again but alas we had to. We are now in Leominster and we love the new place. You haven't heard from me because we were packing and moving. My stamping supplies are out but not the least bit organized so I haven't had any stamping projects up yet. Hopefully by August. In the mean time I hope to have a get together with my stamping girls so I can give out the new catalogs and just enjoy each other's company.  That's what's happening here and why you haven't heard from me recently. Thanks for checking in have a good day. Til next time.

Graduation Invites

Hello Everyone, 

 It's been a couple of busy weekends. Last weekend was a week end of partying and celebrating. My younger son K. J. graduated from LHS last Sat. He had three parties to attend. Sun. another party to attend. I've never eaten so many hamburgers and hot dogs in one weekend.

  This past Sat We had a dance recital so therefore there wasn't time for a party for K.J. His party will be on June 25th. These are the invites I created using MDS (My Digital Studio) a software program that can be purchased through Stampin' Up! All the material on this dvd has images from Su, embellishments, punches and designer series paper that can be used for digital scrap booking and Hybrid type projects, cards, banners and such. I'm really beginning to enjoy this program, it took me to warming up to it.

   Thanks for stopping by, Til next time

Not stamping much

Hello everyone,
    It's been a very busy couple of weeks. I haven't done much stamping because we are in the process of moving and we have been putting an offer on a place and had to keep going back and fourth to the real estate agent. Also my younger son K.J. graduated high school this weekend. Yay K.J. way to go! we had three parties we went to on Saturday the actual day of graduation and then yesterday we were at another. It's just been crazy busy. Now he's done and needs to go out to work until college. His graduation party we are doing at the end of June because we have a dance recital and moving and father's day for the next three weekends. I hate the thought of packing everything up again. We just moved two years ago and here we go again. Anyway hope everyone had a nice weekend. Thanks for visiting. Til next time.
Happy Stamping!

Another Hybrid card

Hello Everyone,

 It's Tuesday and it was a really nice day for a change. It actually felt like summer. Now it's clouding up and we are suppose to get thunder boomers and then rain for the next few days. It's been a busy week and month, we've survived another prom, a play performance, and this is my son's last week of school because he is a senoir and they get out earlier than the rest of the school. Graduation is June 4rth and so is dress rehearsal for our dance recital how much fun does that sound. Then comes dance recital on June 11th and then a graduation party for K.J. It's gonna be busy. Well on that note I've been working on many graduation cards lately. A woman that I work with has asked me to make a couple for her and then I have my nephew and my own son all graduating. 

  

This card is a hybrid card because I wanted to personalize it and I don't have the stamps to do it with so I have to combine the digital and the real cardstock.

I really like the way this turned out. 

Stamps: none image and text came from MDS(My Digital Studio) through SU.

 Inks: Crumb Cake Not Quite Navy

Card stock: Naturals White and Crumb Cake

 Accessories: Tulip EB folder, SU sponges,and stampin write marker with color spritzer tool

  

 On the other note I've also been working on a couple of Farther's day cards. I'm planning to use this one maybe for a SAS that I have scheduled for June. This is not a hybrid.

Supplies for this card are

 Stamps: Sense Of Time, Oval All

Inks: Chocolate Chip

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Baja Breeze, To the nines DSP

 Accessories: Jumbo brads, vintage brads, stamping sponges, MD oval punch,and Chocolate Chip satin ribbon.

Well that's what I've been up to. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day. Til next time.

Happy stamping

Hybrid graduation card

Hello Everyone,

 I have owned My Digital Software from Stampin' Up! for almost a year .  I haven't used it much but would like to use it more. I created a graduation card for a friend's niece who is graduating from high School this year. I really do like the way it came out. I printed it on regular printer paper and then added my card stock colors behind it and embellished it with some vanilla rosettes. I guess you would  call it a Hybrid card some digital and some stamping? I liked it so much that I made this card from the MDS studio for my son also just changed the ribbon to the Baker's Twine and used silver brads with stars instead of rosettes. His school colors are blue and white. I will put that one  up when I  finally print it. This was a really fun project. I printed this on my home printer, at 100% best color.

   Thanks for visiting, have a good night. Til next time.

Happy Stamping
