My Stamping Heaven

Anya stamps- new Big headed kid stamps woot woot!!!

Picture the Stevie wonder song playing in the background here ...'isn't she lovely....' okay I don't remember the rest of the song but you know what I mean lol!!!! I wanted to share the 2 cards I will be teaching this coming Sunday at SGD at our monthly copic class featuring Greeting farm stamps. I HAD to use her- I mean her cuteness is too much!!!! The stamp is actually called Snuggle. too much! Do you want to see the other card...okay...it's oozing with vampire loveliness....the Greeting Farm has an Edward stamp!!! I don't know if you can see it in this pic (maybe click on it to make it larger) but his skin sparkles like another Edward I know.....sigh....sorry I have advance screening tickets to see New Moon and I am getting to be on Edward alert!!!!! If you have time this coming Sunday contact SGD and come and join Kimmie and I at our class. If you can't come but would like a card kit we sell the class kit for $12 with a limit of 4 kits made up. I would love to see you there so hopefully you can make it, we always have so much fun!!!!

Okay, now I have a huge favour to ask. I am in the process of starting to shift my blog here on typepad to blogger (it's free) to help reduce costs this year. Can you do me a favour and if you are one of my followers here, or if you would like to follow me can you go to my other blog and follow it instead? If you could leave me a comment when you have moved over it will help me know when its safe to turn this one off. My new blog can be found here and it's called mystampingheaven.blogspot.com, Easy peasy lol. thank you so much my wonderful readers, I appreciate you so much and hope you have a fab day!! Cheers, Andrea

CC Designs fall stamps

Hello all, hope you had a great weekend. I am just flaked here on my couch after Kimmie and my sale today. In the first 40 mins it was INSANE and we made much more than we expected! Thanks to all the ladies who came out, it was a whirlwind and sooo much fun!!!! We have decided to hold the sale over 2 weeks since it's already out in my living room and then the rest will go to the Scrappingreatdeals.com garage sale on Oct 17/18th. So if you couldn't make it today send me an email and I can have you over most evenings over the next 2 weeks :)

Btw- thank you to Kimmie for taking me out for dinner tonight to Montana's...mmmmmmm..... It was so much fun and her DH is a hoot! Mind you I think he almost got us kicked out a FEW times lol. And thank you to Rae, Jen and Dee who were such huge helps!

So this is one of the cards that we made at our copic class this past Saturday. This is Trevor from CC Designs that Sheila carries at SGD. I love how great these stamps are to colour. I loved the lined paper, as I LOVE school supplies so I figured my Trevor was in his back to school clothes just so I could justify the school paper....it works eh?

Again, thanks to all those who came out and I will see many of you again next Sunday at SGD for the big party and release!!!!!!

Bella stamp- Alexis's bad hair day

Last week my friends Michelle and Cheri came over- otherwise known as the bickering sisters. Fondly of course tee hee. And yes they really are sisters even though they look like they may have had different father's or parents all together as they look completely different in every way, even different heights. Nope, same parents 2 radically different kids. They are soooooooooo funny to hear them bickering or talking with each other. It cracks me right up so I always have tons of fun with them. They came over as fellow colouring copic addicts and I even coloured this image instead of just chatting which I tend to do. I borrowed this image from Michelle which is a Stamping Bella stamp. Scrappingreatdeals carries them for those of you in my area otherwise you can visit the Bella store right in Toronto. I didn't go crazy on bling with this card as I wanted the focus to be on the image and the funky paper behind it. I used a CC designs saying because her wild daydream background with her fuzzy robe just seemed right. I may have to own this image now too. Dang it Michelle lol. I am the one supposed to be the big enabler LOL. I hope Michelle and Cheri can hang out with me again soon as they actually give me great blog stories...I just forgot to write them down to use. Thankfully the weekend is almost here again which means family and stamping time and if I am lucky I can do them both at the same time. Oh and directly below is a pic of the copic colours used. Hope that helps! Ciao!!! Andrea

August card kit from Kimmie and Andrea-waving Emma

Hallooo back at  you cutie- yes you! Here is the card I made with the August kit featuring waving Emma from CC designs. Kimmie and I had sooo much fun putting these kits together. We watched "Never Been Kissed" and "The Wedding Singer" in which I had to freeze frame the wedding singer when it showed the turquoise bridesmaid dresses in the first wedding...then ran to get my wedding scrapbook to show her mine are almost identical. True story and hey, it was the early 90's and we still had some 80's overlap lol.

We pulled together some gorgeous paper, bling and stamps with a summer feel to celebrate the few weeks we have left. Boooo. You can get these kits at scrappingreatdeals while supplies last...

I even remembered to take a pic of the copics used!

I know I know....shocking!!!!

 

 

Hope you have a fab day!!!

The Greeting Farm chipmunks- last card from me for copic class

Here is the other card I am doing for the August Copic class at SGD. These critters are sooo darn cute I was excited to choose them to work with. I found this wood grain paper which is not at all something I would use but with chipmunks it just seems right! Well I am flying out the door to go work the afternoon shift at work so this is short and sweet. Have a fab Friday!

Anya card- one of the cards for the August Copic class at SGD

Today I wanted to share 

one of the four cards Kimmie and I will be making at SGD for our August 21st copic class. We haven't posted any samples yet and it's almost full (only 4 spots left) so if you would like to join us I would call the store and book asap :). I will be showing how to colour white and black images using this card. I looooove this stamp. Their names are Ian and Anya and I bought it as my first greeting farm set as my friends in Ireland Ian and Annja (pronounced Ania) were getting married and it was a coincidence that meant I had to buy this set and started my passion for these big headed kid images tee hee. My friends got married in April and I have to send this card to them after the class is over lol. Click on the image for a closer view. Speaking of SGD the weekly sale is on there are tons of copic sets on sale, you know I love me copics!!! Click here to go to the sale.

Well, this vacation week has been full of relaxing. My youngest DD started it off by barfingin her bedroom doorway Sat night and we had a day of fevers and yuckiness then more days of resting. Poor kitten. She thankfully recovered quickly and two of my nephews have had it too. Fingers crossed it misses the rest of us. Thankfully DH got up and dealt with the barfingall through the night, one of the reasons I love this man. And because he brings me tea every morning.... That reminds me of 2 stamps I got this past weekend...Sheila bought me one that says "Put your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth" as I suffer from a SERIOUS case of foot in the mouth disease. If there is something stupid to be said it some how finds a way out of my mouth lol. When trying to backpedal and 'fix' what I said I usually manage to fit my foot into my other mouth..nice... I also got a stamp that says "Things to do...after I have a tea.." that one is going to work with me lol. Well I hope you have a great Thursday and a great week!

Anya card- an oldie but a goodie and a sale till midnight tonight

I kept forgetting to post this adorable mermaid card that Kimmie designed back in May for our Anya class...so sweet. You may have seen this card on Kimmie's blog first but this is the one I made all by me lonesome following her lead. So cute! I always put eyeshadow on these girls, can't resist.

Information About Civic Holiday:

Civic Holiday in Canada. The intent of the Civic Holiday is to "not work". So please don't work on Civic Holiday! In Canada Civic Holiday is in most cases the first Monday of August unless another civil or provincial holiday exists on a different date, in which case the local holiday is used. Civic Holiday in Canada is not statutory holiday. A bill has been attempted to be passed in the house of commons but it has always been unsuccessful. If an employer wants you to work, it is a work day. What you will often find, however, is that its name Civic Holiday changes from province to province, and even amongst different regions within provinces in Canada. This tells us that Civic Holiday is not as important as some other holidays, but still it is celebrated as a statutory Canadian holiday. Unlike in Canada, Civic Holiday in United States (US) is called Labor Day.
