It is a beautiful Saturday morning here in WI!  I know that I don’t usually blog on Saturday but since I’ve been quite occupied this week and missed a couple of blogging days….I thought I would make up for it.  I really have no excuses just plain busy 🙂

Washing sheets again today since a third set of company is gone and a fourth set is coming.  So special to have family and friends.

Stamps Used:  FF37 Darcy’s Bird, C174 Love is Tweet, A190 Tiny Heart

Anniversary/Wedding

happy anniversary

Good Morning!  No SNOW here PLEASE!  🙂  It seems like it is going to miss us. 🙂

We are concerned about travel on Wednesday so we are watching it closely.  Busy getting ready for the Allentown, PA convention.  For those of you attending, we are planning a very BIG make n take area.  My usual help, Keith and Joyce (who are awesome!) will be there. I also have another set of Heather and Penny coming to help out too!  We are hoping to have 4 – 5 tables set up for make n takes so get ready to make some cards!

Hello!  We continue to make stamps for the Allentown, PA show.  In the morning we are headed to town to get the air bags put on the truck to help it pull the toy hauler better 🙂 that is exciting.  I have thumb therapy down in Appleton so it seems like the whole day will be mostly taken up with appointments.

The cards over the next few days are unique!  Karissa had an old calendar that she cut up and added to the cards.  So,  see if you can spot the calendar parts on the cards 🙂

Stamps Used:  CC69 KB’s Mr & Mrs. Mouse, C175 Love Be Mine/stacked, EE45 KB’s Valentine Cupcakes Med, EE36 KB’s Fox, HH26 Hearts Border, FF29 Dots & Lines Ovals, C232 Happy Together

Good Morning to You!  We are half way through the week.  We are looking forward to Grapevine, TX in a couple weeks.  We are leaving on Saturday to spend a little time in Minnesota and then on the Nebraska with my brother.  Was hoping for some warmer weather but it’s not looking likely 😦

Here is the wedding card.  I love the Silver Encore Metallic ink.  It makes a simple and elegant card.  Lots to finish up today so must keep moving 🙂

Home Again!

Anniversary/Wedding

happy together

Once again we are home and the fun starts all over again!  We will be in Bloomington,  MN this weekend…more information for those interested at http://www.rubberstampevents.com! Posting today is another cute snail card!  How adorable is this card?  Karissa actually made it so I can’t take the credit for it!  She found this really cool ribbon punch in my stash and was using it on all her cards.  It is just a simple slot punch but I will have to see if I can find that and put them in the booth.

I was so happy to see so many of my old friends from WI out in West Bend this weekend!  Janelle and Kay came out to see me 🙂 I was so happy to see them.  I hope I have Kay’s name right!  I should have asked Kevin because he always remember her name and I always forget.  Kevin remembers because she won a card contest at our store a long time ago and he was the judge !  Do you guys remember that!??

Kathy came all the way from South Carolina to see me!?  Well not just to see me but she did come to West Bend to see me!

Kathy & Beth

Kathy and I!  Well I’d better get to work those stamps won’t make themselves !

Anniversary/Wedding, Valentine's Day

heartbeat card

Good Morning Ladies!  I have to say that the $449.00 I spent on my new Brother Scan N Cut Machine was the best investment in a tool in a really long time!  Look at how awesome it cut out the heart beat stamp.  I played all afternoon yesterday in my studio and it cut perfect every time.  I think I have  the stamp, scan, and cut part figured out.  I do have the bigger (I think it has more patterns!) machine.  It also comes with more pens/blade holders that sort of thing.

this is what it looks like from the paper I cut it out of…

heartbeat scan

sorry about the shadow 🙂

here is what my awesome machine looks like…

brother

I have ordered three machines to sell.  We are headed to Puyallup, WA and hope to have three machines there too.  If anybody wants one….just email me at beth@shopec.com and I can save you one if you pre-pay for it.  They are $449.00.  No shipping if you pick up at the show.  If someone lives in WI and wants to drive to my house to pick up a machine.  There will also be no shipping charges.  If you live any where else in the US and want one -I charge just what the post office charges me to ship plus insurance on it.  I don’t add any $$ to the shipping charge.  SO if you want one…just email me.  Shipping will be different for where ever you live!  Seriously this is the machine for STAMPERS!

my sister made this for a friend that got married and cut it out with vinyl.  We printed it on the computer, then scanned it, and then cut it!

Anniversary/Wedding, Birthday, Friendship, Mother's Day

piece of cake

Good Morning!  Another great card today from Michelle!  I love her use of color.  We worked in the shop this morning and now we are headed out thrift store shopping with my Mom and Dad.  I have most of my projects done and have been itching to go to the thrift stores.  So hopefully we’ll find some good bargains today!

The snow is mostly gone and we have sunshine today so a perfect WI day!
