Stamping with Roxy

Tea or Tassimo??????

Goooood Mornin' To Ya !!!!

The weather has been dreary all week but it's sunny where I am today...that's because tonight I'm having my downline (aka Roxy's Rollers) here for our Annual Potluck/Get-Together/Sale-a-bration kick off/Meeting !!!  I'm so excited to have the ladies here for an evening of eating (yum), talking (duh), learning (cause we're all so smart) and of course...STAMPING !!!!!  We were suppose to have our potluck last week but a storm kicked up that day and we decided it was wiser to postpone and thankfully the weather looks great for tonight !!!! 

Today I wanted to share with you one of the projects my Stamp Clubbers made this month :)  I'm a tea granny..I mean a major tea granny !!!  When I was little my mom and I had a tea party every day (it's one of a million wonderful memories I have of my childhood!).  We would sit at the little table and chairs that my dad made for me (he actually made me a matching fridge and stove too !!!!) and we would have bologna sandwiches cut out of cookies cutters and a little cup of tea....ahhhh...I have the best mom!!!

So....tea has ALWAYS been a big part of my life and I'm happy to announce that all my kids love tea too :)

When I saw these ADORABLE tea bag box I just about flipped out and KNEW we'd be making these at stamp club!

The best part is they hold both tea bags AND tassimo disks !!! Cool, eh???!!!!!

Here's the link to the tutorial for this project.  Heidi Baks was kind enough to share her instructions! 

Supplies:  All Stampin' Up! Stamps: Tea Shoppe (new mini); Paper: 2011-2013 In Colour DSP, Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade, Very Vanilla; Ink: Early Espresso; Accessories: Wide Oval Punch, Blossom Punch (new mini), In Colour Brads, Dimensionals

 

Tea or...

Tassimo :)

Well I'm off to make a big ol' crockpot of Chili for tonight's potluck/meeting !!!

BUT...Jessica has spent the week up with Cait and has enjoyed her time with her sister and niece and brother in law  :) 

Cait posted this picture of Kendall yesterday....oh my gosh....absolutely cutest picture EVER !!!!

Today I also wanted to share with you one of the cards that we made at Trudy's birthday cardmaking night :)!

I wanted to show the ladies how simple a card can be and yet still have a "wow" factor!  I really love this card and plan on making lots of these to keep on hand and will stamp the greeting on later depending on what I need it for and the stamp set "Loving Thoughts" pg 15 from the new mini is perfect for these cards !!!!

First...I want to share with you the latest picture of Jessica !!! I can't believe that she is due in 9 weeks!!!!  YIPPPEEE !!!!!  She looks absolutely amazing and beautiful !!!!!!  I can hardly wait to hold my grandbaby !!!!!

Scott is going to be an amazing Dad!  He's so protective of Jess and the baby.....love that boy!

Look at our girlie !!!!

I've had a great time this week playing with all the new Occasions Mini goodies !!!  I did absolutely no stamping over the holidays so it was nice to pull out new stamps/papers and accessories to work with after a long lull in non-stamping...I needed the inspiration !!! :) :)

I really love all styles of stamping but I think I'm drawn mostly to vintage and flowers.  I think the older I get the more I love Vintage...it helps me embrace my oldness :)

Oh my gosh...I LOVE Rue Des Fleurs from the New Mini!!!  The images and wording are just perfect!

This will be my card that I send to anyone that places an online order with me during January!

Supplies: All Stampin' Up! Stamps: Rue Des Fleurs (Occasions Mini); Paper: Sneak Peek SAB Designer Paper, Soft Suede, Pool Party, Very Vanilla; Ink: Soft Suede, Black Stazon, Early Espresso; Accessories: BIG SHOT, Designer Frames Embossing Folders, Sneak Peek SAB Brads, Wide Oval and Boho Blossoms Punch, Watercolour Crayons, Aquapainter, Brights Brads
