~ Happy New Year ~

Hello to all of my fellow stamping/card crafting friends out there!

This will most surely be the year of all years, I can just tell by all of the excitement that has crossed over into the New Year.

There are many, many new projects to work on so far for my Splitcoaststamper Divine Secret Sister Group, my Dine n Swap Group, an online community: Stephaniessecretsisters and so much more...classes, crops and shopping.

My Chateau de Papier studio is pretty much settle for now, we will see how long that lasts, as new ideas come forth, I purchase new stamps, paper and other toys.

Got to go now and work on some cards for birthdays, swaps and special occasions...who knows...one of you may be my next RAK :)

Take care,

Linda

Cards? Cards! Cards& Cards+

Yesterday, my best stampin buddy Anne and I went to Creative Quest in Glendale to participate in their 10 card extravaganza. Wow! I was in for a wonderful surprise.

We both decided to go ahead and make all 10 cards which were mostly Easter/Spring themed.
We were there, met some very nice ladies, whom we both would like to get together and stamp with at some point in the near future.

We wandered around making our cards, moving from station to station, playing...stamping...gluing...arranging...re-arranging the format to suit our liking of our cards.

We were there for what seemed like an instant...but, actually lasted for about 3 1/2 hours.
Time does not exist in the world of card crafting/stamping, enjoying what we love to do.

When we were done, we bought a few items that piqued our interest, left and finally realized that it was near dinner time and we should get something to eat.

We mosied on down to The Gaslight Inn Bed & Breakfast in downtown Glendale. They had a nice light menu and some delicious hot/cold coffees that we each decided to order.

We sat there and chit chatted for a while, when Anne realized that it might be time to head home. It was getting a little dark outside. The evening was quite cooler than the afternoon.
Here in Arizona, there are not too many little towns/villages for us to walk around, like most people have in other parts of the country. Glendale offers that type of hometown feeling.

Well, here it is the day after a great day of stamping. And, can you guess what I will be doing this evening? :) Attending a dine and swap event in Tempe at a ladie's home where we will exchange our stamped cards with the theme being - Tea Time or Tee Time (or both).

That's about it for now. Just thought that I would keep you all updated on the adventures of a
Happy Stamper!

Great Day for Stampin ~ Lately Every Day Is...

Hi All,
Today was a fun day of stamping. Meeting up with some fellow enthusiasts at a shop, The Creative Quest in Glendale. Some of us made a cute doggie card, some shopped and some enjoyed a lovely lunch together.
I stopped at a few places on my way home and could not resist looking for paper related products, especially those that are on sale :)
I received some beautiful fairey paper dolls in the mail today that I purchased from Overstock.com. I have not had paper dolls since I was a wee child of about six or seven.
I will probably use them as a guide for coloring some other stamp/card/paper projects and copy some into my computer files and then send them on to my "little friend" Shealyn. She is my son's fiance's daughter, six years old and a sweet girl.
Well, I just thought that I would take a break before my DH gets home from work.
My doggies, Sean and Bebe are right here beside me, as always.
Later...Happy Stampin!
