I almost forgot to Blog July's Club projects. I was showing off retiring stamp sets and colors.


This is a tunnel card, you can see the inside below. I used the retiring Wild Rose Stamp set and the retiring River Rock, Bayou Blue and Wild Wasabi as well as the porcelain prints DSP.


This is the inside of the card.



I called this faux velvet and the card uses the Carte Postale Stamp set.



This was just a fun card using lots of punches and a retiring stamp set!

Where Have I been?

Well Hello one and all!


I have been crazy busy this summer. We got back from Disney and that led into the FUN of Independence Day Weekend, followed up with a visit from my sister from Texas and my nieces followed by a week of I have no idea followed by a trip to Salt Lake City to Celebrate 08, Stampin' Up's annual convention! So now that you know where I have been, let me show you!
This is the week with my sister!






This is a great picture of my three kids and my nieces at the New England Aquarium in Boston. When my sister visited from Texas I drove us into the city to see the sights.





My sister and my nieces came back to Albany with me so my boys could take part in the Raingutter Regatta. This is Dylan trying to get his boat to the finish line on his own wind power.





Jack is making his attempt for the finish line too. They did great but didn't when a trophy. The Pinewood Derby is really our thing.






My sister and I took the girls to Libby Lu and they choose the Hannah Montana makeover. They sing the song in the front of the store, is that too funny or what!





This was Mads on the way home after we dropped my sister and her girls off with my parents to go back home. Mads was just plain done. The Hannah Montana headset was just so funny. She loves it. Sometimes when she wants to sing in the car, she yells, I need my headset.
