Lotus and Peonies Birthday

 Here's another flower card, it's a Peonie (idea from Valita) Made using the Blossom Petal Builder punch.

    
I love flowers and punches. I was at Valita's Designs checking out her utube videos and wanted to make this Lotus Flower. She is incredibly talented and shares that talent freely. If you get a chance you should go check out her blog: http://valitasfreshfolds.blogspot.com/     Any way, here's my Lotus Flower card

Another Christmas Card

I haven't decided on this card for my stamp-a-stack but thought it turned out nice. I used Snow Swirled and Word Play

Christmas Stamp-A-Stack

Here's a look at the first of 3 designs for my Christmas in July stamp-a-stack. It's simple to make and I think quite cute. I used the Jolliest Time of the Year set. Leave me a comment and tell me what you think.

Successful Sale

We had quite a busy day on both Friday and Sunday. I am so thankful to the Puyallup community for coming out and supporting us. We had one item returned to the front door but the customer never came inside. We would have liked to have refunded the $10.00 she spent on the cat tower. It turned out that a kitty had urinated on it making it unusable. We sold our auction items and everything that was left went to the Goodwill. Thanks again for your support, we'll see you next year in June!

Giant Community Church Sale for the Church Building Fund

OK, we have 3 silent auction items that so far have only a bid or 2 on them. 1st item is a Nikken Air Purifier (never opened never used) that retails for $749.00 current bid is 100.00, 2nd is a Nikken Gravity Water Purifier (never opened never used) retails at $279.00 current bid is $90.00 and 3rd we also have a Kids electric jeep with 2 batteries it retails upwards of $350.00 new (gently used) and the batteries retail for about $50.00  each current bid is $120.00. Bidding closes on Sunday at 3:30pm so come on down to take advantage of this opportunity.

 
I am participating in a HUGE COMMUNITY SALE at my church and would like to invite you all to stop by. It will be held FRIDAY JUNE 17th from 9-4 and SUNDAY 9-4. There will be NO sale on Saturday, we will be at church. There are a lot of really nice items with more arriving today.  I'll be posting pictures of some of the items tonight so check back!

The sale location is: 

904 Shaw Road,

Puyallup, WA

at the corner of Pioneer and Shaw Road

Everything is very clean and organized and don't forget we having a bake sale too!

Christmas Inspiration

I'm working on ideas for an upcoming Holiday Stamp-A-Stack I'm calling 'Christmas in July'.

Technique workshop

I will be hosting a technique workshop June 12th from 4:00 to 5:30. You'll have 2 different techniques  for $10.00. These are very easy techniques that you will want to do on your own. Remember, there will be an instruction sheet with a place to attach a sample of the technique and a sheet protector to put them in. You will need to register and pay by Friday the 10th, I do accept paypal. Here are pictures of the cards we'll be doing for each technique. These could easily be Fathers Day cards. They are definitely masculine.

Card swap with some friends

These are cards that I made at a get together with some ladies from my church. Some are Stampin' Up!® some are not. We had a great time.
