A Nifty New Tool!

Hey Ladies!!
I love that when things go a little sideways, Stampin' Up! is quick to fix it!!!
The creation of beautiful intricate dies has led to some problem with an accurate cut so here's this!!

Yahoo I'll be ordering one ASAP!!
Happy Stampin!

Just made this card for my two grade school friends who live in California!

The Stampin up map it out set is my favorite right now!!

I used the retired Stampin up Bronc Buster for the back ground because it's so Texas!! 

Love and blessings, Julie!!

Just thinking of how much I miss my Stampin ladies!

I miss you so much! I made this card today!

I miss the ladies that would come gather round my table and share life with me! I'm a better person for the time you gave me!!

My daughters birthday card!

I made this exact card for Mother's Day too! Just swapped out the word on the front!!

I love that this set is so versatile and comes with a framelet set! I love perfect cuts every time!!

On the inside of the card I made a quick sew banner that can be placed anywhere!

Happy Mothers Day!!

You are amazingly amazing!

I was recently invited to an impromptu "Happy hour on the porch" for one of my new favorite people!

She lives in a beautiful old farm house in downtown Frisco!

Here's the card I made for her day:

I absolutely love this stamp set!!

It's called sheltering tree! It's a photo polymer set for 24.95 for 14 stamps!!

And here's a picture of her amazing yard!

The weather was perfect for siping "my Tipsy Hummingbirds" on the porch!

But the best part of the night was laughing with new friends and sharing stories! Oh the stories!!!

P.S. Here's the recipe for my cocktail:

Tipsy Hummingbird

One bottle cranberry prosecco

A good splash of St. Germaine

1/2 cup pure pomegranate juice

1 thick Orange slice

Put all into a big ball canning jar!

Keep on ice

God is good have a blessed day!!

Love, Julie

A little charity!!

I made this card for the SVdP (Saint Vincent de Paul) charity fundraiser Gala event! I was commissioned by a friend who is on the planning committee!

 It's a Thank you for a new car donation.

The theme is Passport to Paris so that's why the Eiffel Tower!

I hope the man I made this card for loves it! Heck I embossed the whole world for him!😉 hehe

Have a blessed day!!

Stamp some love,

Julie

Baby cards... it must be spring!

Funny that I'm talking about spring as we got like 5"of snow today! Brrrr

Here's a card I made for a neighbor, I loved how it turned out.

I loved hand cutting out the baby elephant for the onsie!

 I still love this wheel stamp even though it's retired.

 Some things I'll never get rid of!!

Let me know if you have any questions!

God Bless your day and  Happy Saturday!!

My Office Befores and Afters!

As you can see this was the game room, it just had a pool table in it!!

I painted it a light shade of yellow for brightness, took down the drapes,

 patched all the holes and got to work!!

Nothing here:

Built and installed an Ikea Kitchen system to create a counter high work station 

with 17 full pull out drawers for great storage!

I found vintage cup pulls at the Habitat for Humanity resale store!

Upper cabinets are doorless for easy access and display. 

Just a plain wall and wait for the wet bar area...

 I painted my kids Armoire Moss green to house (hide) my computer.

I also painted my stamp display  black 

and put my favorite word stamps on it!

Here's the before...

remember I was going for a clean light and bright look 

so if you love oak in its varnished state don't look!

Here is is painted to match the Ikea cabinetry!

Well there it is!! as soon as I can I will videotape the tour inside the drawers!

Let me know when your in Texas and we shall have a class!!

I'm starting soon!!

Miss and love ya'll!

Julie 

Well I'm officially open for business!!

I can make cards again!!! Yahoo I need to craft and play, all the building and construction can wear a girl down!!

So here it is seemed to come after the rest of the house but Hallelujah I'm Stampin!!

Here's a card I made. My neighbor needed a Baby girl card and while I was at it made a few more.

Blessed to be back in business!

I will soon post pictures of the full craft room!! 

Blessings, Julie

It's been super CRAZY here!!

I have moved to Texas and have been fully overhauling this house room by room and all my energy has been focused on that.... so instead of my cards I will show you some of the projects I've taken on!

But first I  need to inform you of the Big sale going on and it starts today!!!!!

SHOP HERE!!

Here's a picture of my kitchen before my endeavors!

BEFORE:

I used Annie Sloan paint my own concoction of their Old white and Pure white!!
and about two cans of their wax!!

                                                              AFTER!!

May God Bless your Thanksgiving!!

I'm a Texan!

I have been MIA because we have relocated to Texas! It's been amazing and one of the busiest times of my life!

We are renovating the heck out of this house and I still havnt unpacked a single dish! My office is also boxed! However my mom sent me the cutest card so I thought I'd post it!

Eventually I will be posting more regularly but that's still about a month out!

I should have some birthday cards soon to post!

God Bless! 

Love, Julie

Livin lean!

I am in the middle of moving and don't have even a chair to sit in!

However when your in these extreem situations there are always nice people who you really should make a card for!

Thank God I was smart enough to bring my Everyday Occasions Cardmaking Kit!

Page 196 in our new catalog!

This kit has saved me many times and fits in a large Zip lock bag (easy for travels)

All you need is your scissors and snail!

Here's my tiny workspace!

And voila!

5 min flat! Thank you Stampin' Up!

Many blessings, love Julie

For Baby

Needed a fast card, and though I'm packing my office I still had access to everything I needed to make this card!

Enjoy the peace of summer! Love Julie
