Thanks for looking.

Bookmark Card

I saw this on the web somewhere and just had to make one. The ribbon is slipped through a slit on the inside cover of the card so it is easily removed to use in your favorite book.

Lisa has great stuff!

Do you love to rubber stamp?
Do you want a fun night out learning new projects and techniques?

Join my Stamper’s Club

How would you like a night out with friends doing something you love?
How would you like to learn how to make the most of the stamping supplies that you already have?
Do you want to learn new techniques and make awesome projects?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, then a club would be perfect for you.

How does it work?

As a member of a club with 6 ladies, you make a minimum monthly purchase of $25( before S&H and tax ) of Stampin’ Up! products from the current catalog or mini catalog, for 6 consecutive months.

What’s in it for me?

A FREE monthly class at my home (attendance is optional) or at your home where you’ll make 3 great projects. Each month we will meet on our scheduled date. If you are unable to attend, you would call or e-mail me your order before our scheduled night to meet, with payment. I will make the projects for you, and they will be with your order for that month.
Three stamping projects
One FREE level 1 hostess stamp set( minmum )
At least $15 minmum in free Stampin’ Up! product of your choice absolutely free.
A free Stampin’ Up! catalog.
Plus clubs are a great way to build your stamp collection a little at a time
Contact me for more details on this exciting event I offer dhoelzel3@new.rr.com

Do you have a naughty puppy?

Well I do! She is 9 months old, and a black lab! She loves to chew and shred paper.
Do you want to know what a 1/2 sheet of chewed up and partially eaten piece of Bravo Burgundy cardstock looks like after the dog throws it back up? If not, stop reading. lol Well ,it is a good pulp consistency for making handmade paper and the salivia is a beautiful color of bright burgundy all over my carpet. That's what! Darn naughty doggie!
I will refrain from posting any pics, mainly b'cuz I didn't take any. Who needs a visual when I have it embedded in my memory forever!
I think the cat knocked the paper off my stamping table. Maybe they are trying to drive me nuts?!? Someone tell them that it is too late! I already am nuts!
Hope my week goes better! Hope your week goes great!

Have you heard the news? There's a new big shot in town--the Sizzix Big Shot for Stampin' Up!The Big Shot is a sturdy manual die cutting machine used to die cut materials for use on crafts, home décor projects, and even clothing--it's a big deal!

You'll love what the Big Shot machine, a 6-time winner of Creating Keepsakes Reader's Choice Award for best die cutting equipment and dies, can do for you. Of course you can use the Big Shot in your card making and scrapbooking, but it also lends itself to sewing, quilting and home décor. In other words, it's the perfect tool for all types of crafting.

Or create embellishments for cards, scrapbook pages, or any other type of project by cutting multiple images at once.
Here is a photo of items created with the Stampin' Up! exclusive dies. As you can see, making your own party ensemble is a piece of cake! You can use our products and the exclusive dies to make party favor baskets, party pennants, hats, and even masks. And if you're wondering what the CEO and Co-Founder of Stampin; up! might look like wearing a frog mask at her grandson's birthday party, look no further than the next photo.
Pretty neat, huh? I bet Shelli's grandson, Sam, will love his party ensemble and the special banner his grandma made just for him! What a fabulous way to make someone feel really, really special!

Stamp Club Invite

Hi Everyone!!! Hope you are having a great summer, so far!!!
I am starting a new Stamp Club with the new Stampin' Up! Catalog due out on Aug.11,2008. The club will run the months of the catalog. Aug. 2008-Jan. 2009. I have seen some preview sets and accessories and it is going to be a great calalog! I am so excited!
You will commit spending $25.00 (before shipping and tax) everytime we meet. We will pick a month when we will each have our turn to be Hostess.
We meet the third Monday of the month at 6:00 p.m.
When it is your turn to be Hostess, you are in charge of the snacks for that evening. At the end of the catalog, we will then have the opportunity to sign up for the next six (6) month catalog .
By committing to the Stamp Club, you will receive a free catalog and free mini catalogs. You will be a Hostess one of the months to be able to earn free merchandise and Hostess set(s). We will make 3 projects everytime we meet and all you have to bring is your free catalog, your favorite adhesive, and a beverage for yourself. The Hostess will provide the snacks and I will provide all the materials (except adhesive) for all three (3) projects! You will place a $25 order (Before shipping and tax) each month, including the month you are Hostess. If you are unable to attend a night, call or e-mail me your order and get me your payment on or before our scheduled meeting and I will prepare all the projects for you and you will receive them with your order when it arrives.
I can’t think of a better ‘Girls Night Out’ than that!!!
We will meet at my house, so you don't even need to clean your house the night you are hostess! If you prefer to meet at your house on your Hostess month, LMK. When it is your month to be hostess I encourage you to invite friends or to get outside orders to boost your sales! Earn more free stuff!!!
I do have pets, in case of any allergies.
Please contact me with any questions and if you would like to join.

July Stamp Club Cards

These are the cards we will be making Monday night at stamp club. I got my inspiration from the sharing of other Stampers and/or Demos. Enjoy and God Bless

My sanity? Anyone see it?

Well Thursday I picked up my son Mike's dog. They are at Country USA. So I had 4 dogs til Saturday when my other son, Charlie needed a puppy sitter for his dog. They went to Milwaukee to help a friend move. So since yesterday I have had 5 dogs in the house. Our 99 pound, 3 yr. old black lab, Dakota, our 55.5 pound 6 month old lab, Lexi and 11 yr. old Scooter at 9.9 pounds (pomeraniam). Mike's dog at 55 pounds and maybe alittle over a year, Duece, and then little 7 pound, 4 month old puggle, Diesel!
I need a bigger house. Oh and a bigger bed, they all want to sleep with you too.
All in all, they are fun, but alot of comotion.
Well I am off to get ready for church! God Bless!

Poor Birdies!

If you look under my ground feeder (for birds outside), you will see Lily hiding under there!What a sassy little kitty!

Ron's Catch of the Day!

Here is the walleye Ron caught on Thursday night. It is 23.5 inches long! A keeper!

June Stamp Club Cards

Catch of the Day on Father' Day

Here is Mike with the fish they caught! Mike caught a 21 inch walleye! Ron got the other one.

Father's Day

This morning my son (age 23) came over and went fishing with my husband. Mike is my hubbies step son, but you wouldn't know, he thinks of both the boys as his own. Loves them as if they are his own.
When we were deciding wether or not to have children together he said, do we need more? We already have 2 healthy boys! When I met my husband now, my boys were 2 and 4 yrs. He loves them like they are his and wouldn't have it any other way. They are now 23 and 25, and we did end up having a daughter, age 17.
We just got back from Dairy Queen!
So far, I think he has had a great day and it is only going to get better, as everyone will be here for supper. We are having lasagna!
Hope everyone else is having a nice day too.

Sympathy Card

The stamp set is from PapertreyInk and the set is called Everyday Blessings.
