Well I have every Friday off work (and Monday too), so yesterday I was planning on stamping all day to relax and enjoy my day. I still enjoyed my day, but rather than stamp, I made a project for work. I just LOVE being able to bring my passion for crafting to work!
As many of you know, I work in the Children's Ministry department for our church. My friend Michelle is the director and she has been wanting to do a workshop so that parents have a resource for helping their children learn Bible verses. Of course, this is right up my ally, so I asked if I could come up with the prototype and do the workshop. She said "Yes" so yesterday, I came up with this fun project. Michelle had all the verses written up, so I just came up with the book style and then re-typed the verses. I am pretty happy with the end result. We will be holding this workshop in Novemeber so they can be used as Christmas gifts.
Supplies Used: Cardstock ~ Stampin' Up! Whisper White, Rose Red, So Saffron, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue; Pattern Paper ~ Stampin' Up! Cutie Pie Designer Series Paper; Die Cut Letter and Shapes ~ Cricut Cartridges Alphalicious, Doodle Charms; Coil Machine ~ Rubi Coil.
I had a few minutes today to play with my Lizzie Anne stamps. I made the card bases first and then decided what stamped images to attach. I usually don't work this way, but I wanted to see how fast I could get some simple cards made. I have to say that even though these aren't my favorite cards, they were pretty quick (less than 1 hour) & I do love the stamps. On occasion you just have to go outside your comfort zone and try something new. Sometimes you like it & sometimes you don't, but at least you tried.
By the way, if you haven't ordered from the Lizzie Anne Designs website, October is a great time to do it because they are offering free shipping for orders over $35 this month. Check out this link on the Splitcoast Stampers Lizzie Anne Forum for more details. And make sure you sign up for their monthly newsletter so you know what's going on over at LAD!

Well another busy week is done, but I did manage to get this card made. I've had this Mod pattern paper (from Autumn Leaves) for a long time & finally cut into it. The flowers on Hanna's dress, hair and bags are rub-ons from the same paper line. I just love this color combination of Groovy Guava and Wild Wasabi from Stampin' Up! I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend!

The winner of this round of blog candy is .... QC! Mmmmmm....i love those little licorice things covered with the little beady looking candy coating (highly technical term)....Can I have some of those please? ;)I love candy! Blog candy might be even tastier! :)Love you Kendra!
Love you too QC! Sorry ~ but I have no idea what candy you are talking about. I hope this will be OK ~ LOL! There are a few sweet treats inside the big box too, but I'm going to keep that as a surprise for when it arrives. AND...I have another surpise for you! When I told Kristi {yes, the Hanna Stamps Kristi} that I was having blog candy this weekend, she said she would send something fun to the winner as well. So you get double blog candy!
Thanks everyone for playing! Have fun with your Hanna Stamps!
Between the stamp set release, the blog candy and stamping all day long ~ yesterday was a fun day for me! I started this card earlier in the week but couldn't find the time to finish it up until yesterday. I kept adding elements and finally told myself to STOP! I just can't seem to get enough of Hanna this week. I hope you have loads of fun with her too. Oh, and don't worry, Hanna will be back every month doing lots and lots of fun things.
Don't forget about the blog candy on my other thread. You have until Sunday at midnight ~ please post to my Friday 10/5/07 thread to enter.
Tip of the day: It's is super easy to use pattern paper to make Hanna's dress and purse. Stamp the entire image on white cardstock, then stamp it again on pattern paper and cut it out. Adhered the image you cut out over the image you stamped on the white cardstock and VOILA ~ Hanna has a pretty dress & a striped purse. BTW ~ The idea for the monogramed purse, I CASE'd from one of the Hanna Stamps Design Team members Ashley Bowen ~ what a fun way to personalize a card!

I'm sure many of you know that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I know that I am one of the many who have been directly impacted by this type of cancer. I was diagnosed just a few weeks before my 40th birthday. There are no words to describe being told you have cancer. I have been very fortunate that my cancer was found early and at this point, almost 2 years later, it is gone. I pray it's gone for good, but only time will tell.
I have to tell you that October is a difficult month for me. Seeing pink ribbons all over the place is a constant reminder of my internal battle. I know a lot of good comes out of these pink ribbons, but as a survivor, it's has a little different spin.
Now I need to urge all of you ladies to do the following:
