Stamp Time Somewhere

Do you like it?

I changed my theme and I Totally LOVE this one! I think I might keep it forever.....(or until a holiday hee heee)

Where my girls at?

Ok, now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head - great!

Anyhow, just wondering how many of my blog readers are attending the Stampin'Up! convention in SLC in just over 2 weeks!! (WooHoo!) Also, I am in Track 10...anybody else in track 10?

I signed up for a *few* swaps on Splitcoast..namely:

Track 10 bookmark swap

6x6 scrapbook page swap - Kid theme - I'm doing boys

$20 class swap

"Dream" swap

Mini album swap

3x3 love notes swap (3 groups)

Decor Elements photo swap

SCS dinner swap

I think that's it. Believe it or not - I'm pretty much done! Need to order envelopes to go in my $20 class project, go get some Tempting Turquoise M&Ms for my Dream Swap project, take some photos and write up some instructions, process the photos of my Decor Elements and that's it. Really, I'm doing pretty good I think. Now I'm turning my attention to my "general swap" cards.....

Hope to see you there!

Stamp Time Sketch 2

Ok, here is another fun sketch for you to try....don't forget to leave me a comment here linking back to your card if you participate! This should be a fun one....can't wait to see what you come up with!

Ooops

Planned on posting this yesterday! Thank you Melanie for playing in my challenge. Here is her card, isn't it too cute? I got so wrapped up in working on swaps for convention, I still haven't finished mine, but I will be posting my next sketch idea shortly!

Just bragging

No stamping here, just wanting to show off some family photos from the 4th!

Started the morning at our church with a pancake breakfast and kids parade, and ended at the 8th annual Bohanon 4th of July Bash!

Aren't they cute?

Tagged

It's been a while since I've been tagged, so it was pretty cool to see this one come from my new bloggin' bud Jaime at cre8tiv or crazy

7 random and wierd facts.....

1. I am addicted to couponing. I have shopped faithfully with coupons since January 2004. My average weekly savings is 51% and my best trip was 93% savings. I did a happy dance in the parking lot...could have cared less who saw me.

2.  I am fairly comfortable speaking in front of people, however this in no way is announcing that I want to do so anytime soon......

3. I am not a big fan of escalators, because I am afraid I might fall, however I really refuse to touch the icky moving handrail. It's the like the one public thing that freaks me out.

4. Everytime I see a concert I am a little envious of the person performing and wonder what it must feel like.

5. I am now also addicted to Discovery Chanel's new network Planet Green. There are some really cool shows on there and I have been working on "going green" probably a little over a year now.

6. If I can organize something by color I probably will (paper, clothes, books......you name it)

7. My friend Christi and I have been friends over 20 years now (she hates when I say that number). She is the only non - obligated (family) person I've known that long. She is also my one best friend that is not family. The people I consider to be my closest friends are her, my Mom, my Grandma, my Aunt and SIL.

Now to tag 7 other peoples...this is going to be hard, because I think I am one of the last to get tagged with this....

1.Alesha at A little Scrapbook Therapy

2. Robin at About A Girl  (although she has a new baby...so I don't know if she'll want to play)

3. Britiney Jean

4. Charlene - A Stamp A Day

5. Super Talented JIll at Jill's Card Creations

6. Miss Barbara Jean at My Pink Pajamas

7. Melissa - Mommy's Stampin' Creations

Ok, I know that took a while for me to get done, but I hope you enjoy these blogs!

Pure Genius

I do not know who this person is, but I am loving this website! It makes it sooo easy to find Stampin Up!'s retiring sets! How cool!

Stampin'Up!'s retiring stamps

Down for a few.....

ok, so the doc cut some stuff out of my throat today. Wasn't expecting it and I'm a little sore. A shot of numbing stuff in the back of the throat and a few snips.....anyhow, not really feeling myself.

I did however find some card sketches on the SU demo site last night as I was waiting to place my order (I can't believe I forgot to expedite the shipping! dang it...) and I figured I'd post it on here as a little sketch challenge. Maybe I'll even be good enough to post it as a weekly challenge. Let's think positively. Let's call this one StampTimeSketch1. Leave a comment if you participate linking back to your card!

New stuff!

 So us SU demos had the chance to preview a select few offerings of some of the stuff soming out in the new Idea Book. I am not posting any spoilers, however I do really like two of the new level two hostess sets and two of the new level threes! Now I just have to decide which to order....

 I also like some of the new regular products.....the In Colors are going to be great, I am for sure ordering at least one of the stamp sets and the new scallop edge punch and the Bella Rose DSP! Having issues with ordering, so I will try again in the morning...I'm tired, it's been an emotional day!
