Lots of things to show you today...

Here are ALL of the projects made with the Great Grad stamp set. I was really excited to get this one to play with. I really enjoyed making the different projects. Let me know which one is your favorite and if you have any questions...I will be sure to answer them...

Rub-Ons onto photos...

I have gotten a comment: I'm so jealous of your fabulous creativity! I've got to try putting rub-ons onto my pictures - I love that effect! :)

Just wanted to let ya'll know that the white on the photo here is NOT a rub on. It is the Its Beautiful wheel inked with the White Craft pad and then embossed with Winter White embossing powder. I heated the photo from underneath...It can still bubble your photo so BE CAREFUL if you try this, but it turned out SO cute...

I've been asked...

If these are photos of the Display Boards from Leadership or if these are projects that I made...and I have to answer...BOTH...these are the projects that I MADE for the Leadership Display Boards. So, there are photos of these items from Leadership floating around, but I made the originals...I ALWAYS make at least TWO of anything that I make, so these are the ones that I kept and then I set a set off to Stampin' Up! for the Boards...Hope this answers your question...

Friendship Blooms

I have been busy making NEW things to show you, so I am stepping up the posts of the stuff I made from the Leadership Display boards. Here are all the things that you haven't seen yet from the from Friendship Blooms SAB set...

Hope you enjoyed the LONG post this morning and all the cards, scrapbook pages and 3-D projects...and as I am leaving for work in a few I am not going to post details about each item Please let me know if you have any questions about any of them and I will be sure to answer...Happy Stampin'

Not the best photo...

Not the best photo of this Scrapbook page, but I thought that it turned out really cute. This was antother page that WASN'T on display at Leadership...I know the Cerise DS Paper retired...I was VERY sad to see it go. I was sure that it would stick around through Valentines Day...you see red is my FAVORITE color...If I could I would wear red EVERY day...when we have our own house in a few years...I want a RED wall in the living room a RED kitchen and a red FRONT DOOR...only 2 1/2 years to wait until I can make that happen...

Anyway...yep I LOVE my kids...even though they drive me NUTS on most days...but they are mine...These were the photos that I took for our Christmas cards this year. We ALL coordinated. The girls and I had on red shirts with white polka-dots and the boys had on red t-shirts with white long sleeve button up shirts over them...TOO CUTE...Well...I gotta go and teach a class, people will be starting to show up in about 10 minutes and I need to finish setting up...Happy Stamping and check back tomorrow to see more...

Conversation Jar...

Here is one of the 3-D projects that I made for the Perfect Timing stamp set. I made a Converstaion Jar. Decorated the Mason Jar and printed out the questions from the internet...This was one of the items that DID NOT make it onto the Leadership Display Boards. I thought it was really cute, but I guess that it was TOO heavy and they didn't have any shelves to set stuff on like they did at Convention...Oh Well, you get to see it here anyway...Hope you like it...

A Beautiful Thing

Here is a pull-out card that I made using A Beautiful thing stamp set from the Spring Summer Catalog...This card is a littlke different in that it doesn't open up...the two tabs on the side pull-out...So what do you think? Cute? Not so cute? Leave me a comment and let me know...

Perfect Timing...

Again...I had a bit of trouble making this stamp set the focal set for this, but I think that it turned out really nice in the end..

On this card I also used Define Your Life. I was so excited to win the Aug contest, 'cause I wasn't paying almost $50.00 for one stamp set...so I chose it as one of my FREE ones...YEAH I still get excited about those FREE stamps...

If you are interested in FREE stamps, SU! is having a GREAT promotion next month...contact me for more information...

More from the Display Boards

Here is a card that I made with the SAB set Friendship Blooms. I was very excited to get this set, and a little sad when I saw it in the SAB brochure. I really like this set, but it will be around for such a short time...So I better start using the heck out of it...

I had my Open House on Saturday...Thanks for coming ladies...If any of you haven't received your Spring Summer Catalog and would like one...please let me know so I can get one to you.

Well...I am off to work. It was REALLY nice having a three day weekend, but it's back to the grindstone...it's good to know that this is only a FOUR day work week and then...it's Saturday...more stampin' time...don't forget to check back tomorrow

My favorite Scrapbook page

This is my favorite Scrapbook page that I did for the Display Boards...

I think that it turned out SO cute...of course...Colleen being so cute and photogenic had NOTHING to do with that...Here are some photos of the details...

Here I used the Versamark pad and embossed the flowers with Clear Embossing powder and then cut them out and popped them up on Stampin' Dimensionals.

I embossed the large flower with white embossing powder and shaded it in with the Rose Red marker for depth...

No Stamper's Showcase today...

BUT...Here is another card from the leadership Display Boards...

I used the Perfect Timing stamp set and the It's Beautiful Jumbo wheel. I used the Versamark pad and then embossed the wheeled images with white embossing powder. I am running late today, so this is just a quickie post. Check back tomorrow for more...Happy Stamping...

I Wonder...

I wonder...how many days in a row I get featured on Stamper's Showcase this time...I need to break my record of five days in a row SO...I am shooting for SIX...

We will see if that actually happens!?!?

This is the card that was posted today...One I made and sent in in July...I LOVE these birds they just make me smile...

BUT...I know ya'll aren't poppin in here at my corner of the internet to see OLD stuff...ya'll want to see ALL NEW cards, scrapbook pages and 3-D items...so here goes...



This is a card that I made for the Display Boards using A Beautiful Thing stamp set. I had a really hard time with this set at first, but as I used it the easier it got...I used the Cutie Pie DS Papers, Taffeta Ribbon, and some Hodgepodge Hardware tied with Ribbon Origionals to accent.

I even used the Three For You Punch to punch out the flowers...You can only punch out the flowers one at a time and you waste some, the punch only has three flowers and they are spaced a bit farther apart than the stamp in this set, but it was MUCH quicker than cutting out each flower so I just stamped twice as many as I needed and punched them...I even stamped the envelopes for ALL the cards I sent it. At Convention they had them on the boards with the cards, but at Leadership they weren't there...so those of you who were at Leadership, at least you will get to see something new everyday also...the envelopes...

Okay...Here we go again...

YEP...Stamper's Showcase has done it again...they have put up one of my cards...SO...I know ya'll are anxious to see the stuff that I made for Leadership so I will get this out of the way...Here is the card SU! posted today...

I would also like to thank EVERYONE who came up to me at Leadership and introduced themselves to me...I was very excited to learn that the hits on my blog counter are not ALL mine and that people do actually read what I type out and stop in here at my little spot on the Internet to see what I have posted...

My husband has a routine when the phone rings, cause it's NEVER for him...if he happens to answer and it's for me, he brings me the phone and says,"It's your fan club"...Let me tell you...while at Leadership it really DID feel like I had a fan club...Like I was a STAR...I was being posted daily on Stamper's Showcase...I had people...other demonstrators...taking photos of the cards and scrapbook pages that I had designed for the Display Boards...I could sit back like a fly on the wall and listen to their HONEST opinions on what they thought...and then I had others come up to me and ask if I was Twila and let me know that they read my blog and congratulate me on being on Stamper's Showcase so many times this year already...I'm telling you I was on a HIGH and still am...I really do feel like a STAR...Okay I know, I know enough babbling...You come here to see the things I post not to really read all the dribble that I type out...

SO...here is a scrapbook page that I made for the Display Boards that you HAVEN'T seen. It was one that I REALLY liked and I was a bit surprised that it wasn't up on the boards...This is my youngest daughter Colleen...I used the Perfect Timing stamp set and a photo of her Quirky new glasses that fit her personality SO WELL...I even used the craft ink and changed the color of our Jumbo Eyelets to fit the color scheme on this page. I know that the Petals and Paisley DS Paper is now retired, but I didn't know at the time what was being retired and what was rolling into the new catalog. Isn't she CUTE!

Check back tomorrow for more from the Leadership Display Board Box...

Stamper's Showcase Again....

31st, 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, and NOW...again on the 13th...so I didn't make SIX days in a row, but here it is another card on Stamper's Showcase...

The funny thing is the cards that have been posted recently are ones that I sent in for the contests last month - December...and this one...well I had to Go WAY BACK...all the way back to July...this is the card that I made to swap at Convention...so this one is OVER six months old...so you NEVER know when your cards will be posted...but check back here tomorrow as I will be starting to post NEW samples...yep...the samples that I made for the Leadership Display Boards...so hopefully I will be chattin' at you tomorrow...

FIVE DAYS IN A ROW...

On SU!'s Stamper's Showcase. I think I have set a record...I am very surprised and excited that they have posted so many of my cards in the last five days...it's been very exciting becoming the name you know...

Here is the card that was posted this morning...it is the very first card I made with the A Little Birdie told me stamp set...I really LOVE that set...I am a fan of all the little words...

Well...just a short post this morning, as I am off to Leadership in Palm Springs...check back as I may make make Stamper's Showcase again tomorrow...I need to go and play the lotto....

Okay...I think that's the last of them...

My card was posted on Stamper's Showcase again today, but I think it is the last of them that I sent in last month...so it may be a while before you see my name in print again...Here is the card for today...

After a review of the cards I have scanned to my computer that I sent to SU! last month...they still have a few to show you, so maybe I will keep seeing my name everyday...until they are done...here's hoping for another card tomorrow...

Twila Mooneyham...the name you know...

Soon...Twila Mooneyham will be a household name...the name you know...I guess the team or person that posts the cards on SU!'s Stamper's Showcase really likes typing my name out day after day...YEP...I am there AGAIN...Here is the card that was posted today...

They have ALMOST run out of cards that I sent in last month, so I guess it's time to send in a whole new batch...but, I guess it will have to wait until after Leadership...as I am SO busy getting ready for that. I am still working on my swaps that I decided to do...At the LAST minute of course! But, I am almost finished...I will hopefully finish them tomorrow at lunchtime, so that when I get home I can finfish packing and be all ready to leave bright and early on Thurday morning...Enjoy the card...and I hope to have more to show you soon...Make sure and check back as I will be starting to post the samples I made for the Leadership Display Boards...

Well...I am pretty pleased with myself this last week. I have had FOUR...Yep FOUR cards pop up on Stampin' up!'s Stamper's Showcase...again, just wish they had won the contest that I had sent them in for...oh well, maybe next time...I have already posted the one from Dec 31st...Anyway here is a recap of the cards that have been posted since Jan 1st...
