Charity Stamping Party

I made this card for our up coming charity stamping party this weekend. I have listed all the details about the party below. If you are interested in making this card come out and join us for a great time!

Charity Pajama Stamping Party

& Yard Sale with a Twist

All proceeds are going to the Northern Cancer Fund –

Chemotherapy in Memory of Ellena Esteves.

You must RSVP by Wednesday, September 07, 2011 by 5:00 p.m. in order to attend.

Sunday, September 11, 2011

1:00 – 4:00 p.m.

Oliver Road Community Centre – Downstairs

Cost: FREE

You will make one Christmas Card with Stampin’ Up (See Image Above) and one Christmas Card with Close to My Heart (See Shanna's Post here). We will have lots of samples up to get your wheels a turning for your own projects, juice and some snacks.

If you want to put an order in with either company that day, you are more than welcome to. If you place a $100.00 order with Stampin’ Up (before shipping & taxes), you will receive FREE SHIPPING. If you place a $100.00 order with Close to My Heart (before shipping & taxes), you will receive FREE SHIPPING.

For every $50.00 you spend that day with either company, you will receive a ballot for a prize package that we will be raffling off that day.

All the Hostess Rewards from each company are used to purchase products for the next year’s Yard Sale with a Twist. All the money raised from our Yard Sale with a Twist will be going to the Northern Cancer Fund – Chemotherapy in Memory of Ellena Esteves.

After everyone has made their card, we will begin the Yard Sale with a Twist. We take all the products that we collected over the year and package them together and sell them off. To find out about the “Twist” part, please give us a call at 344-7702.

For the Yard Sale portion of the day, we ask that you bring cash. We will accept a cheque, but that just causes more work for me, so I would prefer cash.

For Close to My Heart, you can only pay with cash or cheque. For Stampin’ Up orders, you can pay with cash, cheque, Visa or MasterCard.

Happy Birthday Lyle!

I made this card for my Father-In-Laws birthday today. I wanted to make a card with a trailer on it as we have been doing some camping with them lately out at their trailer. I used a lot of masking so that I was able to colour the images with my copics and create the background.

Here's what I used:

All items are Stampin' Up unless otherwise specified

Cardstock: Early Espresso, Whisper White

Pattern Paper: Reminisce The Great Outdoors Line

Ink: Momento Black, Old Olive, Marina Mist, Pacific Point, Not Quite Navy, Soft Suede, Early Espresso

Markers: Chocolate Chip

Stamps: Happy Camper, Under the Stars, Loads of Fun, Create a Cupcake, Occasional Quotes

Tools: Nestability Scalloped Square, Sewing Machine, EK Success Dotted Wave Edge Punch

Copic Markers: E19, E74, B93, Y17, R29, T1, T3, T7, N3

Accessories: Smooch Spritz Gold Glow, Smooch Illuminate Top Coat

ENJOY!!!

Wow time is sure flying by fast. The kids have been keeping me busy! We also bought a trailer and have been trying to use it us much as we can before the cold weather hits. I have been making a lot of cards for Charity Stamping Party coming up in September. I will start to post some of them soon.

Here is a comparison shot of both girls at 4 months. I think they are really starting to look a like.

ENJOY!!
