Last Chance - Christmas Cards for Cancer - Please help Kelly

Hi friends!

    I want to thank you all for the wonderful support we have received so far! We are however, still quite a ways from our goal.

    We are trying to collect all donations by today. I realize most of you don't live in the Las Vegas area, so there is a "by mail" option.

    If you can help, please take a moment today and donate. I know this family is so very appreciative for any and all help.

 

Thanks,

Jeanna

 

 

This is Kelly 

      

So, let me tell you a little about my friend Kelly.

  Kelly was born and raised in New Jersey, and moved to Las Vegas in 1999. She is married to her husband Rex and is the mom to 2 awesome sons, Daniel and Cameron. She has been a nurse for 20 years, which means she has spent a lot of time doing what she loves, caring for others.
  In July, after finding a lump and having a biopsy done, she was diagnosed with IDC Breast Cancer. To add to the horrible news of the diagnosis, they found out that they had a $6,000 out of pocket with their insurance on top of a $6,000 70/30 out of pocket deductible! As if the timing couldn't be worse, they had JUST purchased their very first home after saving and working hard for years. It seemed like life was finally going as planned, and then BAM - CANCER.
  Kelly is currently halfway through 8 rounds of chemo. After she finished her chemo treatments she will undergo surgery and then radiation.

 

Here is how I plan on helping Kelly and you can too...

If you are in the Las Vegas, NV area, you can join us

TGIFC #27 It's Re-Mix time!!!

 Hey, Hey!!! Happy Friday!!! 

 Ok, so even though Halloween is tomorrow, I feel like it should be over already! We've been to 3 Trunk-or-Treats already and have candy coming out of our ears! That being said, I really wanted to show you this cute, QUICK Halloween treat bag!

My finished project:

 

 A little bit of a classic with the punch art pumpkin with a few little twists to keep it trendy. I adore this color combo paired with the kraft color of our treat bags.

Fancy Friday!!! Treats not Tricks!!!

 Welcome back to Fancy Friday! We thought this month we could share some QUICK Halloween treats, being as it's tomorrow and all!!! I decided to make a quick box using the Gift Bag Punch Board and some Oval Framelits.

 I added a little sponging around the ovals to add some depth to the pumpkin, but if you were really in a hurry you could totally leave it off. Fill this thing up with chocolate and you are good to go!

 

Head on over to my Fancy girl friend the fabulous Mrs. Jennifer Timko and check our her fancy take on this month's challenge!

TGIFC #26 Thankful Theme Challenge

 Hey, Hey!!! Happy Friday!!! 

 I really want to share with you all that I am thankful for, but you'd probably leave because my list would be so long. Of course I wake up every morning with a heart of gratitude to my Heavenly Father for my family, my health, my friends - and the "usuals". However, there is so much more. One thing I am extremely grateful for is this right here. My business, my blog, the artistic abilities that the Lord decided should be one of my talents, my customers, my FRIENDS.

 One of those friends is Mercedes Weber. You know, that awesome chick that organizes this hop. Let me tell you if you don't already know, she is one of the most amazing women I have ever met, and I really do aspire to be more like her. She is just as beautiful, if not more on the inside than outside (and that's saying something because she is stunning!)She is a loving wife and mom, a woman of strong faith, a strong yet gentle woman. She is talented beyond measure and has a heart bigger than Texas. She is always there with a kind word or thought. She is supportive and giving and well - you get the idea, I could go on and on how much I love her and how grateful I am to have her as a friend. 

 This week the team has this great inspiration for you. Just use this theme as a starting point - no real rules...

 Click on the photo above to go right to our team page and view the challenge and what the other talented team members have created!

 Here is what I created for it:

 

 I almost ALWAYS do standard-sized cards. I don't know why....but this time I wanted something a little different. A simple 4" card that I could easily slip to someone I want to show gratitude to.

 The base is Soft Suede with a layer of Water Color paper. I used the leaf stamp from the Perpetual Calendar set. I sprayed the paper with water, then stamped the image in Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Always Artichoke. Then I spritzed a little more. After making sure it was good and dry, I embossed the Thankful (Hostess Set) in Gold Embossing Powder. A few spritzes of watered down glue topped with more embossing powder complete the look.

 

 I really hope that you'll play along with our challenge. Make sure to link up over at #TGIFC this week and show us what you got.

TGIFC #25 Beautiful Inspiration

 Hey, Hey!!! Happy Friday!!! 

 Are you enjoying your October? We are finally getting some "fall" weather here in Vegas. It was only 87 here today. Don't laugh too hard. I actually saw a lady in Target today wearing jeans and a sweater. 

 This week the team has this great inspiration for you. It kind of has a fall look to it. I was inspired by the flowers and the colors.

 Click on the photo above to go right to our team page and view the challenge and what the other talented team members have created!

 Here is what I created for it:

 

 The base of the card is Blushing Bride, with a layer of Soft Suede. I stitched a layer of vellum over that to create some soft interest. The flowers are stamped in Rose Red, Calypso Coral and Soft Suede with the Leaves in Blush Blossom.

 I really hope that you'll play along with our challenge. Make sure to link up over at #TGIFC this week and show us what you got.

One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop - Halloween and Fall

 

  

Hi there! 

I'm back with another One Stamp At A Time - stamp along challenge for this month's blog hop! Let's see some Halloween and Fall!

I've really been having a lot of fun creating Fall and Halloween projects this year. I think Stampin' Up! brought us some great products! This has a very "Fall" feel for Halloween. I love the mix of the texture and vintage feel combined with the shimmer and glimmer! TIP: Create the most awesome Spider Web Doily ever by covering it in Irridescent Ice Embossing Powder - it's GORGEOUS!

 

It was so much fun putting all the little details in this!

 

Can you believe that I thought I wasn't going to need the Square Pillow Box die?!?! This thing is FABULOUS. TIP: To create the longer box, cut 4 of the dies. You'll then want to cut 1" off of each one at the end. They're joined with the "belly band". If you need any of the items I used in this project, you can always get them HERE

Please make sure to visit everyone in the hop - you will see so many creative ideas. Make sure to give some comment love...

Your next stop is my sweet, funny, baseball loving, talented friend Marisa Gunn!

TGIF Challenge #23 Cool Color Challenge!!!

 Hey, Hey!!! Happy Friday!!! 

 Happy October! What a wonderful way to kick off this new month - a great color challenge.

 Even though this color challenge is perfect for Halloween projects, it was PERFECT for this simple boy's birthday card!

 Once again, I am using this SUPER FUN Stampin' Up! Set, No Bones About It. So.... as much as I love the card, I love that my son had the idea of WHO should show you the card...Meet "Rexie"

Ahhh!!!! Do you love him? Rexie is quite the loved buddy here. I love that at 5 he knows to stage a photo! LOL

 I really hope that you'll play along with our challenge. Make sure to link up over at #TGIFC this week and show us what you got.
