Gingerbread House Layout

2010-01-21T14:58:00.001-05:00

JP's class had a Gingerbread House Party last week! They were supposed to have it prior to Winter Break but due to Snownami 2009, it was postponed! I wasn't able to go but my neighbor took some pictures and I scrapped them right away! Have I mentioned that I HEART MDS? It makes scrapbooking so easy for me! You need it too...! Anyways, here it is....

The first picture is his teacher. She is such a sweetie! It is her first year teaching and boy does she have a fun class as you can tell from the second picture of all of the boys! The boys are such great friends and really have so much fun together. The 3rd picture is JP and his buddy, JH! Aren't they cute?

Wow, 2 card posts in 2 days from me! I'm on a roll!

Last week I had the chance to make 2 girlie birthday cards! I love this little bug! Add some pink, some ribbon, a bling brad, and a little glitter and "she" is so cute!

I'm busy making rehearsal dinner invitations for my cousins wedding this week and also working on ideas for my sisters wedding invitations! Busy busy!!

Purple & Yellow

2010-01-19T14:46:00.002-05:00

Hello! I finally have some cards to share! My neighbor just found out that she got accepted to James Madison University so I made here a congrats card in the school colors. These also happened to be colors that were highlighted in the latest Stampin' UP! magazine. As a matter of fact, I totally copied this card from the magazine! I did add the white rub-on and silver flower brad!

While I had my supplies out I decided to make a birthday card to just have on hand! I'm so bad about stocking up on cards and find myself making them as I need because I like to tailor my cards to the recipient but now I'll have at least one if I need it in a pinch!

2 PAGE SKI LAYOUT

2010-01-17T20:40:00.005-05:00

I finally finished the second page of my ski layout that I posted last week. Here are the 2 pages

together...

Another MDS Layout

2010-01-05T14:24:00.004-05:00

Here is a quick scrapbook page that I whipped up between folding a thousand loads of laundry!

We went to Timberline for New Years Eve! JP, Ben, and Erich skied while I stayed back at the house on "kid duty"! Will, Allison, and I got out for a little snow time! We went sledding, threw some snowballs, played with the dogs, and of course took pictures! The big boys had a great time skiing! JP and Ben went to "ski school" for the day and learned a lot! They can't wait to go back! I'll be scrapping the pictures of them soon!

I know a lot of you have asked me about MDS and Sale-A-Bration is the best time to purchase it! Not only do you get awesome, fun, software but you'll also get a free stamp set! Call or email me and we'll get your order placed!!

Have a great day!!

Starting with the new 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog and continuing with all new punch designs going forward, Stampin' Up! has adopted a new body style for our punches! A few features of the new punch style:

-Low-profile, rectangular punch body allows for easier stacking and storing
-Punches lock shut for easier storage and transport
-Dual labels on top and end allow for easy identification and selection when stored
-Available in three sizes: small, medium, and extra-large
-New punches allow for larger punched images and more intricate designs while providing greater ease of use.
-Extra -large punch images also allow for two-step designs like the Two-Step Bird punch in the Occasions Mini Catalog

-Larger, whole-hand handle design provides better leverage for easier use

SNOW DAY!!!

2009-12-20T10:28:00.004-05:00

Wow! We got LOTS of snow yesterday! Our most accurate measurement was about 22 inches. Seriously! I'm so not a fan of snow but it wasn't too bad yesterday. The kids had such a fun time playing in it. Erich too! I even took a run down the hill on the sled! Then we made chili and had the neighbors over for a fun evening!

The kids were good enough to let me take one quick picture of them all together. After our friends left last night the boys played some video games and I had a chance to scrap with My Digital Studio. This layout is actually altered from one of the Stampin' UP! premade layouts that come with MDS. What do you think??

2009-12-18T14:50:00.002-05:00

My baby girl is 9 months old today! I can't believe I have had a DAUGHTER for 9 months! And what a sweetie. She is so fun.
Right now her favorite things are bath time, clapping, crawling really fast, eating her brothers breakfast, and DADDY! This little girl adores her Daddy!
We are really looking forward to her first Christmas. The big brothers have been telling her all about Santa Claus! Should be fun...!
I created this scrapbook page using My Digital Studio. If you don't have this Stampin' UP! software yet, you need it! I love making quick, cute pages for my kids! It's also great for gift making...! After Christmas I'll be posting a gift that I created! Can't ruin the suprise...!
Have a great day!!!

Thanksgiving

2009-12-02T10:24:00.003-05:00

Hi friends! I'm busy getting my house back together and ready for the holidays but I wanted to post a quick scrapbook page that I made! This is Ben and his teacher at the Thanksgiving Luncheon! We all love his teacher and Ben LOVES this picture! It will be fun to look back at his first "School Thanksgiving" as he gets older! Enjoy....!

Running out of time for holiday cards??

2009-12-01T09:01:00.003-05:00

Redskins!

2009-11-16T08:59:00.002-05:00

Erich took the boys (all 3!!) to the game yesterday for a little Wiemann Boys Bonding Time! They had so much fun! It was a great day for tailgating (good thing...since they left the house so early!!) and football! Apparently all of the tailgating wore Will out! He napped through the 3rd quarter!

The boys were still super excited about the win this morning so they wore their Redskins jerseys to school and Ben brought his "souvenir cup" (aka. the overpriced soda cup) in for show and tell! Ben also told me that he was going to give his teacher a high five! Hey...we don't get a lot of wins so we are going to milk this one!!

Hope you enjoy the scrapbook page!!

Have a great day!!

Great Grandma and the Boys

2009-11-06T11:22:00.003-05:00

The summer of 2008 was a fun one for the boys! My Grandparents from Florida were hosts at a campground in Virginia and we got to visit them a few times. The boys loved riding their bikes around, exploring the woods and especially swinging over the creek on the rope swing!

These pictures really make me smile! Not only because they are fun pictures but because my Mom took them! She is not known for her photography!! Anyways, and I knew that I wanted to do somthing special with them since it was such a special time for JP, Ben, and Great Grandma! I've decided that I am going to print this one out and frame it!

Thats all from me till next week! We have a busy weekend of soccer and chores! Maybe I'll post layouts of us raking the mounds of leaves in our backyard....!

Another Fall Layout

2009-11-05T13:46:00.003-05:00

Here is another fall picture of my princess! This page was super easy to make! I love the whimsical look of the leaf stamps! I it is from the Holiday Blitz set. I don't own that set but I often wish I did. But, now that I have MDS I am able to use it digitally. How fun!

As you can tell, I can't stop making pages in MDS! I'm seriously thinking about marketing my MDS skills and offering to make pages/cards for others! Stay tuned...!

Halloween Layout

2009-11-01T14:42:00.008-05:00

Hi! I hope everyone had a great Halloween! Ours was super fun! We started our day with 2 soccer games! JP's team spray painted their hair and painted thier faces for the game. They were so cute! Here is a picture of him in the game...

Ben had the later game and he painted his hair too! He was pretty cute as a redhead! He played against his buddy from his class and thought that was really cool! Here is a picture of Ben trying to get the ball from him!

After soccer we rested at home for a bit then got ready for the nights festivities! We had a great time with our friends and neighbors! The kids were adorable in their costumes and now have WAY too much candy. We've been pretty lazy today so I had some time to do a halloween layout. Here is it...

Enjoy!!

Preschool Fun

2009-10-29T18:18:00.000-04:00

I'm on a roll with these digital layouts! Here is one of Ben's Preschool Water Day from last school year! I took a premade layout from the software and change the colors and embellishments! Stampin' UP! makes it way too easy!

Enjoy...!

Soccer In The Mud

2009-10-28T06:10:00.000-04:00

As promised, here are the pictures from JP's SUPER MUDDY soccer game! He is on a team with a great group of boys. Most of them are either in his class or in his school and they all get along so well!

I had a lot of fun making these pages and JP even helped me! He is VERY honest with his opinions on my scrapbook pages! We had to make lots of changes so that it was "just right"!

I hope that you have enjoyed these! I can't wait to get them printed out and put in his album! What are your thoughts...should his soccer pictures go in his regular "yearly" album or should I make one of just soccer through the years?

Oh, and just to clarify, JP does NOT have a mohawk! Those are outlawed in my house!

Happy Fall

2009-10-27T11:40:00.004-04:00

I wanted to share this quick scrapbook page that I made this morning! MDS is so much fun!

Have a great day!!

Lots of Randomness

2009-10-26T16:28:00.005-04:00

Hi friends! I'm stuck in the house today with a few sick kids so I finally have some time to update the blog! Yep, the flu has hit the Wiemann house. Not fun.

I haven't been in the craft room much latley but I have made a few things! I did 2 birthday cards this past weekend but of course I forgot to take pictures of them before I gave them away! I do have a funny story about that though! I guess I take picture of cards A LOT! Will got a card (see below!) from his Godmother, Megan, on his birthday and the first thing he said was "I've got to take a picture"! And he did...he found my camera and took this GREAT photo...

Speaking of Will....he had a great 3rd birthday! Thanks for all of the awesome birthday wishes! We spent the day at the pumpkin patch with Megan, Mark, Dylan, and Claire! It was so much fun that we went back after JP and Ben got home from school! Here is a picture of me and my cuties! Apparently I am the only one looking at the camera...!

I also have to share this picture of JP and his buddy at his soccer game on Saturday! We had a ton of rain and they were just GROSS! But they had a great time! Look for a fun scrapbook page with their teams before and after pictures! Funny stuff!

Ok, enough of my random stuff! Below you will see a card that I made today. I was inspired by a card I saw on Robin Merrimans blog (see sidebar). It features the Medallion background stamp which is one of my favorites! I've seen so many cool cards with it! Jaimie (see sidebar again) made a really pretty fall card with it too! Check it out!

Stamps: Medallion, Defining Alphabet, Define Your Life

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Bermuda Breeze

Paper: Chocolate Chip, Bermuda Breeze, Very Vanilla

Accessories: Textured Plates, Clips Assortment, Chocolate Chip Tafetta Ribbon, Dazzling Diamonds, dimensionals

Blog Banners

2009-10-19T17:00:00.005-04:00

Speaking of blog banners, I made these using My Digital Studio! I'm telling you, this program is so much fun! If you would like to see how easy it is to use, get in touch with me and we'll set up a time to get together. In the meantime, leave me a cooment here and tell me which banner you like better!

Bunco Prizes

2009-10-17T15:24:00.003-04:00

It's been awhile since I've posted something that wasn't digital! Don't worry though...I've been working on a few fun things with MDS and I'll be showing you those soon! But today I have a "paper" project to share!

My Mom asked me to make gifts for her Bunco ladies! I really enjoyed creating these cards and totes. I used the Hostess Set "Kind and Caring Thoughts" and two of the current In Colors (Dusty Durango and Soft Suede). I was going for a fall look...did it work?

If you would like directions for the tote, let me know! It was super easy!

Well, I need to go clean up my craft stuff and then I think I curl up with the Princess and read a magazine while the boys are entertained by the xbox! It's one of those days...!

Digital Scrapbooking Rocks!

2009-10-06T12:19:00.003-04:00

Here is another sample that I made using Stampin' UP! My Digital Studio! I wanted everyone at the bus stop to have the photo from the first day of school so I thought it would be fun to "scrap" it! I didn't have a ton of time so I whipped this up really quick! Seriously, I think it took about 4 minutes. Have I told you that I LOVE Digital Scrapbooking! It totally fits with my hectic schedule!

My Digital Studio is now available for Customer Orders! At only $79.95, it is a great deal! Especially since you can print your projects ANYWHERE! I sent this one to Costco and had it back in an hour for less than 60 cents for a 5x7 print! Love that! If you are interested in learning more about My Digital Studio, give me a call!

I LOVE My Digital Studio

2009-09-24T17:58:00.003-04:00

The brand new digital solutions program called My Digital Studio, by Stampin' Up!, was released to demonstrators on Sept. 1st, and will be avaliable to customers on Oct. 1st. I just got mine yesterday and I am HOOKED on this program! I've played around with it a little bit and I am just amazed at all of the awesome features! I wanted to share this QUICK (like 5 minutes) layout that I did with Allie's 6 month picture!

The picture itself is actually a digital picture of the hardcopy from Portrait Innovations so it isn't the greatest but it gives you an idea.....! Isn't it AWESOME! I started with a template provided with the program and then I changed some colors, deleted some of the embellishments and added some others! WAY TOOOOO EASY! and WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY TOO MUCH FUN! :) Now I can either get this printed through Stampin' UP! or just upload it to Costco and get it done there. How cool is that???

If you are interested in learning more about My Digital Studio, let me know and we can get together!

I've got to run to make my family some dinner and then I am off to Back To School Night! I'll try to add some more MDS (My Digital Studio) project over the weekend!!

Happy 4th of July Weekend!!

2009-07-03T10:40:00.003-04:00

I'm so excited to start our 4th of July weekend! We have lots of fun plans with family and friends! Like last year, we started off the fun with PARENT SWIM PRACTICE! JP and I participated in a few fun relays with his friends and their parents. It was lots of fun but I'm TIRED!

I wanted to make a few patriotic cards to have on hand for our festitivities but I still do not have any patriotic sets (see here for last years cards!). But...I thought that these flowers from the NEW hostess set, Kind and Caring Thoughts looked like they could be fireworks! What do you think?

I colored the stamp using my Real Red and Night of Navy markers, stamped them, then went over them with a glue pen and glitter so they have a little shimmer!

Stamps: Kind and Caring Thoughts (new hostess set), A Little Birdie Told Me

Cardstock: Night of Navy, Real Red, Whisper White

Ink (markers!): Real Red, Night of Navy

Accessories: Oval Scallop Punch, Oval Punch, Ribbon, markers, glue pen, glitter

Surf's Up!

2009-06-08T15:36:00.004-04:00

I was waiting for Will to wake up so that I could take the kids to the pool/swim practice and got inspired to make a card! How cute is this???

I used Pick a Petal for my "boards"! (JP told me that they look like raindrops!). I also used Pink Flamingo DSP, Whisper White CS, Summer Sun and Tempting Turquoise ink and cardstock.The alphabet is a retired set, Quirky Lower Alpha (I think!!) And of course I used dimensionals (I love these little sticky guys!).
Don't forget that the retired list is out! Things are starting to sell out so if there is something that you want, get it now! I made the mistake of waiting too long to order one of the scrapbook kits and it's gone...!
Well, Will is still sleeping but I better wake him up! If we time it right, we'll get to the pool right after break is over. Yes, we have going to the pool down to an exact science...!
Have a great Monday!!

Top Note Purse Cards

2009-06-03T15:53:00.005-04:00

I recently saw this idea and had to try it out myself! I think that they are adorable! What a great use of Stampin' UP! Designer Series Paper. I've got A LOT to use! What do you think...?

On an unrelated note, Allison Marie is 11 weeks old today! WOW! These past 11 weeks have gone by way too fast! She is such a great baby and we are so blessed to have her in our lives! Here is a picture that I took of her this morning! And yes...she is this happy pretty much all the time!
While I was making cards and Allison was sleeping, Ben and Will spent time at the "Wiemann Country Club"! They had a great time splashing each other and washing their dinosaurs in the pool. At one point Ben yelled in the house to ask me where dinosaurs go to the bathroom! Not quite sure where that one came from! Here are pictures of the "little boys"....JP was at school!

A Different Graduation Card

2009-05-27T11:51:00.005-04:00

I feel like I haven't stamped in ages! Life has gotten busy and as much fun as it is to create, I really enjoy spending time with the kids more! We've had some great weather so we have been spending lots of time outside with our friends. Yesterday was cold and rainy so I needed some fun color to brighten my day! I also needed to make up a few graduation cards to have on hand for "Grad Season"! Here is what I came up with...

It's not your traditional graduation cards but I think it is so fun! So, I challenge you to create something outside of the box and send it to me at: Jennifer Wiemann 5706 Deer Pond Road, Centreville, VA 20120. I'll post them here and send one of you lucky ladies a prize!

Wow Flowers Birthday

2009-05-06T14:13:00.004-04:00

I was asked to make a "pink birthday card" for a friend to give to one of her friends. I made 2 for her to choose from and this was the first. I love the Pink Pirouette and Kiwi Kiss together! It is hard to see in this picture but the center circle in the top row is popped up with a dimensional and has a silver brad in the center.

I'll post the other card later this week! I am really enjoying making cards to sell! I'm hoping to start doing a little more of this. I'm putting together a shop on etsy.com! Stay tuned for more information on that as I continue to list items and get that shop going!

On another note, today is my oldest sons' birthday! He turns 7 today. Wow, the past 7 years have gone by SO fast! I had lunch with him today and brought in a yummy snack! He isn't much for sweets so he asked me to bring in Fruit Kabobs! They were a huge hit with all of the kids! I was worried though so in order to be prepared for that one kid that complained about having such a healthy snack, I also baked sugar cookies! (Yes, they were slice and bake and no I did not burn them!) Here's a picture of me and my big boy!

Tonight we'll celebrate with family and our neighbors! E-ma (my Mom) made an ice cream cake! We are ALL looking forward to that!

Paper Casting

2009-04-28T15:05:00.007-04:00

Have you ever heard of paper casting? Jonnelle introduced me to it yesterday and I can't stop!! Want to try it? I'll tell you how...You will need bathroom tissue, a rubber stamp , and a dry towel or paper towels.

Here's how you do it...

1. Tear off about 8-10 squares of bathroom tissue and stack them on top of each other. You can use more or less squares depending on how thick the tissue is and how puffy you want your image. Moisten the paper in the sink. You will want to get it pretty wet.

2. Lay the bathroom tissue stack on your stamp. Press image into stamp. Use your fingers to push paper into the details.

3. While the paper is wet, tear sides for uneven edges or use the side of the stamp to tear straight edges on your image.

4. Using a dry towel or paper towels, press onto image to soak up excess water. Try to get as much water out as you can.

5. Carefully remove image from stamp and let dry.

After the papercast is dry, you can color these with chalks, inks, or other mediums. I used ink pads and a sponge dauber on mine!

I'm totally in love with this technique! Why don't you give it a try! If you do, please send me a picture of it or come back here to tell me how you liked it!

Stamps: All Holidays, Bloomin' Beautiful

Cardstock: Really Rust, Night of Navy, Bashful Blue

Ink: Really Rust, Night of Navy, Bashful Blue

Accessories: Sponge Daubers, Toilet Paper!!

Lovely Letters Gift

2009-04-28T11:14:00.005-04:00

I was asked to make personalized notecards to give as a wedding shower gift. The bride is using "Pistacio"as one of her wedding colors. The closest I could come was Certainly Celery! I sort of cased this card but added another layer! What do you think?

I got the Lovely Letters set FREE from Stampin' UP! They are so generous with their demonstrator rewards programs! What a fun company to work for! If you are thinking about joining, I'd love to have you as part of my growing team! Call or email me for details!

On another note, Ben really wanted me to "put this picture on my computer"! He's my CRAZY 5 year old! He's definitly a handful but he's so hard to get mad at because he is just SO funny and absolutly adorable! I feel sorry for his teachers!

Have a wonderful day!

No Stampin' On This One!!

2009-04-20T08:20:00.005-04:00

Last week I made 16 cards with less than 1/2 of the Petal Party Simply Scrappin' Kit and the Chit Chat Rub-Ons. I love how easy and cute they were! Here is one of my favorites! I'll be posting the rest of them sporadically!

Well, it's a rainy, yucky Monday and I am so thankful that I don't have anywhere to be today! I just got JP off to school and now I think I'll head upstairs and start cleaning. I've promised myself that if I can get the boys rooms and the upstairs bathrooms cleaned this morning that I can stamp this afternoon!

Birthday Card Gift Set

2009-04-19T09:33:00.002-04:00

Box Of Cards

2009-04-16T10:19:00.003-04:00

I just love the simplicity of it! Here are the 4 cards and matching envelopes that I made along with the box to package them in!

Stamps: Oval All

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue

Fabulous Friends

I think ALL of my friends are FABULOUS! So, this card is for YOU! Thank you all for your support in my Stampin' UP! business and just life in general! You rock!

If you scroll down to my "Fore!" card you'll notice that I used all my "leftovers" from that card on this card! Even the DSP is just the opposite side of the paper. I love the new Oval All set from the Occasions Mini and the Oval Scallop Punch is just the cutest! It's little but totally adorable!

On another note, Happy Tax Day! We LOVE today at our house because it is also Ben's Birthday! He turns 5 today! I'm heading up to his preschool this morning to bring cupcakes and ice cream! Then tonight we will celebrate with my parents. Daddy is out of town till tomorrow so we'll do another "Birthday Dinner" with him tomorrow night! We celebrate birthdays for WEEKS!

Hair Bow Keeper

2009-04-13T08:08:00.004-04:00

Alright, I NEVER thought I'd EVER EVER EVER have any reason to make a hair bow keeper for any of my children but now I do! Yes, Allie is only 3 1/2 weeks old but she has already accumulated a stash of hair bows! How cute is she? I know, I am so "that Mom"!

I had these frames from the Dollar Spot at Target. I just added some DSP, a flower made out of the scallop punch, a button, and little bit of ribbon! Super simple!

Here is a close-up!

This is her PINK bedding!

And these are the "TuTu Valances" that my Mom made for her! Aren't they adorable?

Happy Easter and Masters Sunday!

2009-04-12T07:55:00.004-04:00

What is better than the Easter Bunny visiting? Masters Sunday, of course! Our family really enjoys watching golf! Even the little ones get into it! This year Easter Dinner was changed to "Easter Brunch" as to not interfere with tv coverage of the tournament! It's Allie's first Masters...it's a big deal. Even though her future Father In Law isn't doing so hot! Yes, we've already arranged a marriage between our daughter and his new son as well as with Will and Sam!. We're nuts.

I made this card with The Masters in mind, obviously! I saw a similar one somewhere but can't for the life of me find it now! So, if it was your card, thanks for the inspiration!

Stamps: Taffy Alphabet

Ink: Baja Breez
Cardstock: Kiwi Kiss, Baja Breeze, Whisper White

DSP: Urban Garden

Baby Announcements

2009-04-10T08:27:00.007-04:00

All of my baby announcements have been sent out so now I can share it on my blog! But, first I need to thank Jaimie for the inspiration! I saw a swap card that she did and knew right away that it would make a perfect announcement! Check out her blog! She does awesome work! I had so much fun making these! Granted, it took me awhile since I had to do them in little stages in what "free time" I had! I hope you like them as much as I do!

As you can see, I used a variety of paper from the Sweet Always DSP pack. I was also able to use a few different colors from the DSP to coordinate the flap with the photo and birth info! I am one of those people that has a hard time making a lot of just one project so it helped me to be able to change it up a bit! The inside was printed on my computer using the RGB codes for Stampin' UP!'s Chocolate Chip. Here are the details..

Stamps: Introducing

Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette, Regal Rose, Pumpkin Pie

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Accessories: Scallop Edge Punch, Corner Rounder Punch, Bone Folder for scoring

Easter Animal Crackers

2009-04-08T16:04:00.003-04:00

Here is a card that I made for Easter! I actually made it a LONG time ago (ie. pre-Allie!) but am just now getting around to posting it! I'm not sending out Easter cards to everyone this year since I just finished sending baby announcements and am still working on thank you notes! But, there were a few people that "needed" Easter Greetings so here it is!

Cardstock: Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, So Saffron
DSP: Sale-A-Bration 2009
Stamps: Animal Crackers, $1 Stamp From Michaels
Ink: Basic Black
Accessories: Bashful Blue Marker,
Punches: Circles, Scallop Edge, Scallop Square

Notecards for Allison

2009-04-06T14:48:00.004-04:00

Allie needed a few notecards to send to some very special people! I'm pretty limited on time right now so I wanted something that was quick and easy! I saw these and thought they would be perfect! I had some Candy Lane DSP scraps sitting on my desk and here is what I came up with...

Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Very Vanilla

DSP: Candy Lane

Stamps: Taffy Alphabet, Polka Dot Punches

Ink: Riding Hood Red

Baby Scrapbooking Class
Thursday, April 23rd
7-9pm
My house!

Come make six matching layouts using the "rock-a-bye" Simply Scrappin Kits. I have designed all of the layouts to easily fit 4x6 and 4x4 photographs. The layouts will be designed specifically for little girls OR little boys. This would be a great class to attend if you haven't quite scrapped your child's first year or two. These also make great gifts!

Class fee is $16 (paid in advance) if you register by 4/3 ($20 if registering after the 3rd) and includes the class kit, sketches, directions.

Email, call me, or post a comment if you would like to reserve a`spot. Unable to make it on April 23rd? I'll do to-go kits as well and you can create the pages on your own time! Shipping is $5!

When registering for this class, specify the gender of the kit you'd like to scrap!

I don't have any Stamping Projects to share today but wanted to post a quick post! I have been working on some super cute PINK thank you notes and I'm getting ready to start on Allison's Baby Announcements! I can't wait! I'll share them with you after they get sent out! Hopefully that will happen by early next week! We'll see how the weekend goes! It's opening weekend for soccer so we'll be busy doing "boy" stuff!
As you can tell by the below picture, the boys are really enjoying their little sister! She is such a sweetie! We are all settling in quite well as a family of SIX! I'm feeling good and not too sleep deprived YET!

Another reason for my post today is to remind you that Sale-A-Bration is coming to an end! I'm so close to reaching my personal Sale-A-Bration goal and I have YOU to thank!

It's A Girl!

2009-03-20T12:48:00.005-04:00

Just wanted to do a quick post to let you all know that Allison Marie Wiemann arrived on Wednesday! Yes, I'm still very suprised that SHE is a SHE! Even though we did not find out the sex during the ultrasounds, I was convinced that I was having another boy!
She weighs 9lbs, 3 oz, and is 20.5 inches long! We're still in the hospital but we are both doing well and expect to go home tomorrow! We can't wait to get home and get settled in with the boys!
Here is a picture that was taken Wednesday! She is amazing!!

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the web address of my blog now...stay tuned!

Darn You, Jaimie!

2009-03-17T16:45:00.003-04:00

Last night I was checking out Jaimie's blog while JP was sitting with me. He thought Jaimie's treats were too cool and asked me why he didn't have anything to bring to his classmates. So, the Mommy guilt set in and I was off to make some! I had some old SU Holiday paper that I thought I would never get to use but it turned out to be perfect for St. Patrick's Day Treats! Here they are...

Baby Thanks

2009-03-16T12:15:00.004-04:00

Another Birthday...!

2009-03-15T09:59:00.003-04:00

JP has another birthday party to go to today! This one is for his friend, Ben. I'm not usually a gift certificate giver but with all of the insanity of getting ready for the baby and everything else, I went that route this time! So, I had to come up with something fun to package it in! I had these gift card tins left over from a long ago project so I decided to cover one of them! Here is what I made...

I also had these plain white lunch bags sitting around so I decided to use that as my gift bag. I got out an old Jumbo Wheel and just wheeled away! The 3x3 card attached nicely!

Stamps: So Many Scallops, Birthday Jumbo Wheel, Taffy Alphabet
Cardstock: Real Read, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White
Ink: Real Red, Wild Wasabi, Pumpkin Pie
DSP: Summer Simply Scrappin' Kit
Accessories: Scallop Punch, Circle Punches, ribbon, hemp twine

Happy Birthday!

2009-03-12T13:57:00.000-04:00

Here is a card that I made for our friend Katelyn! It is very similar to one that I've used for a few workshops so you may have seen it before! I love using this big cupcake! It's so fun!

Stamps: Wow Flowers, Simple Birthday Thanks
Cardstock: Taken With Teal, Old Olive, Whisper White
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Accessories: dimensionals, old olive ribbon, scallop circle punch, other circle punches, rose red marker, white gel pen, versamark, dazzling diamonds EP.

Hey...did you notice that I finally got a new camera? I haven't totally figured it out yet so be patient with me!

Basketball Thanks

2009-03-11T07:20:00.001-04:00

I was asked to make 3 thank you cards for my sons' basketball coaches to go with their end of the season gifts. Here is what I came up with...! They were fun to make! I don't often get a chance to make "boy cards"!

Stamps: Just Basketball, So Much

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Bashful Blue, Whisper White

Ink: Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie

Accessories: Tart and Tangy DSP, Dimensionals, circle punch

PS...JP lost another tooth last night! The tooth fairy is going broke!

Tooth Fairy Box

2009-03-09T09:44:00.004-04:00

My oldest lost his first tooth this past Friday! It has been very "wiggly" for weeks but he has been terrified to pull it! So, Friday evening he was outside playing basketball and apparently the ball hit him in the mouth and out popped the tooth! He was so excited because he caught the tooth right in his hand! He couldn't stop looking in the mirror all night and kept saying that he looked "awesome"! What do you think?

Of course, being the crazy Mommy that I am, I was prepared! I made this little "Tooth Box" a few weeks ago in preparation of the "big event". It was made using an empty Stampin' UP! brad box! I colored some chipboard using craft inks and glued those on top, stamped that super frightening Sock Monkey, punched him out, glued him up there and then covered the entire top with Crystal Effects to make it last longer! Then I punched out a little piece with my Word Window Punch to make a tag and tied that on with Tempting Turquoise ribbon. Super simple!

Hmm, now if I could only be as prepared for the baby! 8 days or less to go!!

A Mary Kay Thank You

2009-02-27T13:18:00.003-05:00

I needed to whip up a quick card to send to a friend that is into Mary Kay Cosmetics. Here is what I came up with!

Stamps: Upsy Daisy, Short and Sweet

Ink: Basic Gray, Basic Black, Pretty In Pink

Cardstock: Basic Black, Pretty In Pink

DSP: Retired Hostess Pack

Accessories: Scalloped Circle Punch, Various Circle punches, White Gel Pen

I've become quite a fan of the Stampin' UP! White Gel Pen! It is by far the best white gel pen that I have ever used! It's the simple things...!

I hope you all have a great weekend! I'm looking forward to JP's basketball game, my workshop on Sunday, and getting more things ready for the baby! Only 19 more days to go!!

Texturz Plates!

2009-02-23T08:58:00.001-05:00

Here is a fun card that I made using the NEW Stampin' UP! Exclusive Texturz Plates! If you look closely you can see the embossed dots on the Pacific Point cardstock. Very fun!

Stamps: Enjoy Every Moment
Cardstock: Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss, Tangerine Tango
Ink: Tangerine Tango, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White
Accessories: Texturz Plates, Kiwi Kiss Ribbon, 1/2 circle punch, word window punch, dimensionals.

I just love the In Colors! I hate that they'll be gone again this summer but do look forward to the next ones! If you are like me, you'll want to stock up on these colors before they are gone! Why not add a reinker or a package of cardstock to your order this month? You won't regret it!

Another Top Note Die Card!

2009-02-20T14:09:00.007-05:00

I told you, I'm obsessed with the Top Note Die! This card uses just half of the Top Note. Save the other half for a second card!

Stamps: Bella's Bloom

Ink: Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss

Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla

DSP: Candy Lane

Accessories: Vanilla Hodge Podge Hardware, Chit Chat Rub Ons, Chocolate Chip Ribbon, Top Note Die

(I'm still without a camera but borrowed one to take these last few pictures. Sorry the color is off!)

Top Note Pocket Card

2009-02-20T14:02:00.005-05:00

I saw this idea on Gretchen Barron's Blog and had to give it a try! I just love using my new Top Note Die Cut! It's so much fun for bag toppers and cards! If you don't have it yet, YOU NEED IT! Call or email me today to place your order!

Anyways, here is how to make it...you cut two Top Note Bigz Die-cuts using the Big Shot -- one with cardstock and the other with one of the Delicate Dots DSP patterns. Fold down the top edge of the DSP about 1 1/2", use your tape runner to glue the two Top Notes together and decorate as you see fit! I made a small tag to go into mine and stamped my sentiment on top. Easy Peasy! It fits perfectly in a standard size envelope!!

Stamps: Fresh Cuts

Ink: Riding Hood Red

Cardstock: Riding Hood Red, Very Vanilla

DSP: Candy Lane

Accessories: Top Note Die, Big Shot, Vanilla Ribbon

Simple Valentine Card

2009-02-20T13:45:00.002-05:00

Here is my husbands Valentine's Day Card! It was a super simple card that I totally copied from someone! Well, I think I used different DSP and a different heart stamp but the idea was copied!

Stamps: Taffy Alphabet, Simply Said
Ink: Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip
Cardstock: Kraft, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White
DSP: Candy Lane
Accessories: Chocolate Chip Ribbon, Scallop Edge Punch.

Cardstock: Old Olive and Rose Red

DSP: Rose Red

Ink: Rose Red

Stamps: Always

Accessories: Scallop punch, oval punch, circle punch

Sharing A Card

2009-02-02T09:50:00.004-05:00

I haven't shared a card in awhile! My 2 year old launched my camera from the second floor onto the hardwood floor below so it's been dead! I HATE not having a camera but I also HATE going out in the cold so I have not gone to get a new one yet! Maybe tomorrow...! Wait, isn't is supposed to snow tomorrow? Hmm, I could just order it online! I think I'll do that!

Anyways, I don't think I've shared this card yet! I made it awhile ago for Hailey's 1st Birthday. The DSP and sentiment are both retired Stampin' UP! products but the rest is current! I just love the Wild About You set! It's to fun for kids!

I hope you all have a wonderful week! I'll try to post some new pictures soon!

Just Jawing Origami Box

2009-01-15T17:08:00.004-05:00

I saw these cute little boxes on Jenn D's blog (Hi Jenn!) and just had to try them! I am usually pretty stupid when it comes to folding paper but once I "got" the directions it was SOOO easy! I made another one after this one and I timed myself! It only took 3 minutes and 9 seconds to make the box! Now, decorating it was another story!!

You can find the directions here! If you have a hard time with them let me know and I'll try to help! I used a 12 X 12 piece of paper for the box (the red part...from the Tart and Tangy DSP package) and then the top is made from the retired Halloween designer series paper. To make it sturdier, I used the "cardboard" piece that comes as backing from the designer series paper packages.

I think I'll use this as the "packaging" for a Valentine gift! I'm sure one of my boys will have a little girl to give it to (probably Ben...he IS the one with the "kissing disease"!)!

It's ONLY Wednesday??

2009-01-14T16:33:00.004-05:00

Seriously? It feels like today should be Friday! It's been a LONG week! But, I guess that is what happens when you have sick kids! My middle child, Ben (4) was diagnosed with strep throat and mono on Monday! Yikes, right? Poor kid. He's a tough one though! Then the "baby" started with the cough/fever last night and it looks like JP has come home from school with it today! Lovely!

Needless to say, I've been playing nurse to the boys so I haven't gotten much time to create this week! But....my NEW STAMPIN' UP! SPRING-SUMMER COLLECTION CATALOG arrived Monday so I've had lots of time to check that out! It's beautiful! The samples in it are just amazing! I wish I was that creative!

I did get to make a quick card for my Grandma this afternoon. She is doing better and has been discharged from the hospital. She meets with the doctors next week to discuss when/where to do the surgery. Anyways, here is the card...

One of my patients is crying so I don't have time for the recipe right now but I'll try to post it later!

SEND HEALTHY THOUGHTS OUR WAY!!!

For Grandma

2009-01-08T11:11:00.006-05:00

My Grandma has been in the hospital for the past few weeks and it looks like she'll be there awhile so I've been making lots of cards to send to her to cheer her up. I'll be posting them all in the next few days! This one was super simple to make and I love how it turned out!

Stamps: Embrace Life, Fresh Cuts
