A Stamping Good Time

It's fun being a mom!

This is one of those fun days being a mom - playing with the kids after school, taking Aislinn to her softball game and SEEING HER GET A  HIT!  Aislinn has had difficulty batting this season, and tonight her slump ended!! 

I am hoping to do more stamping tomorrow, but tonight here's a sample of a book I put together for my aunt, she wanted some predone pages for her granddaughter's album - I love the Simply Scrappin' Kits, this is the baby one in the Spring Summer Collection for a girl.  How cute! 

Last Chance for Chipboard Savings!

May 31st is coming, and so is the end of the Onboard with Chipboard promotion, save 25% on all chipboard items when you spend $35.  Here is a page I did at Christopher's Legacy Crop, the last day of Kindergarten with my daughter's friends at TJ's Pizza.  The layout is supposed to mimic the checkerboard floor pattern, whadda ya think?  Didn't have enough t's so I used the outline of the "o" under the a to look like the @ sign, ingenious, don't you think :)

The Retiring list is coming, so watch for the Retirement Stamp Camp on June 24th!

Tomorrow is stampin' with my daughter's friends as we celebrate her 7th birthday - where does the time go???

Big HUGS!!!

Friday night was the Hugs for Hayley benefit crop, and guess what I forgot??  To take pictures!  We were so busy and had so much fun, it just didn't happen.  Thanks to everyone who helped make the evening a success - more so than we ever imagined!

So, on to Stampin' Stuff - this month chipboard is on sale for 25% off, and here is an adorable mini book made with the OnBoard Blossoms and Basics - email me for directions and information!

Happy Stampin'!

It's a Girl!!!

Have you seen these baby onsie cards?  How cute is this?!?!  The paper on the front is from the Simply Scrappin' Kit Special Delivery Girl.  It measures 4 1/4 by 5 1/2, so it fits in the medium envelope, which I use most often.

Would you like to learn how make one of these?  You can at your workshop or at your friend's workshop!  Did you know that I have referral bonus' for new customers, hostesses and demonstrators? 

Email me to find out more - stampwithtara@maine.rr.com.

Here is a close up of the paper - so cute!

My Ginger Blossoms!

I am so excited for the momentum with Hugs for Hayley, we're going to have a blast! 

Today's post features the designer series paper, Ginger Blossoms.  When I saw these two sheets of paper in the pack I KNEW I had to save them to scrap with - and I did!  These photos are from my friend Joanne Lee with Joanne Lee Photography - they were taken two summers ago - time flies!!!  I was so excited when I realized the girls outfits matched the  paper so well!   I used some rose wide gross grain ribbon on the top and bottom of the pages, and then the Baroque Motif's stamp set for the journaling block and accent.  The centers of the flowers are half pearls from the Pretties Kit.  I love quick easy no brainer scrapbook pages -and these were absolutely that~ here are som e closer shots of each page ...

Hello bloggers!

So, what's my excuse this time?  TIME!!!  Finding it for something I love, like the blog!  I have been busy planning HUGS FOR HAYLEY - this Friday, May 16th from 6-11pm.  The location has changed since my last post, though - it is now at the Most Holy Trinity Parish Hall - thanks to the MOMS group from MHT for co- sponsoring this fabulous night.  Lots of tickets have sold, but there is always room for more!

One of the benefits for the non-scrappers is the 10 Card Class I am offering.  There will be 10 different cards for folks to make using differents stamps, inks, papers and embellishments - one could be this.... well, actually I made this card on Saturday at the Christopher's Legacy Crop in Somersworth, NH.  What an awesome group of folks who organized this event for Children's Hospital, Boston.  Karen, the grandmother of little Christopher who was only with us for a short month, has a twin brother, Keith.  Keith is a man who I would say works smarter, not harder.  The day after this event was Mother's Day, and he has  his own mother and a step mother.  Keith was busy emceeing the event and asked for two cards - how could I say no??  This was one, on the inside was stamped MOM with the Big Deal Alphabet. 

Paper - Groovy Guava, Tempting Turquoise, and Ginger Blossoms.

Accesories:  Die Cut Blossoms (Occassions Mini), Build a Brad.

I have much more to show you guys, it has been a while!!!
