Kudos to my Stamp Clubs!!!

I just want to give a shout out to my Stamp Clubs! I have the best Stampin’ Peeps in the WORLD!!!

This was a technique month, which I don’t do but maybe twice a year, and I taught the “Glitter Napkin” technique...yes, I said the word, glitter. Thursday’s Club I had 13 lovely ladies and they stuck with me the whole night! I usually have them out by 8 but this time they did not leave until around 9:30! They also helped me learn a couple of things to make Monday’s Club go so much easier!!! Monday’s Club I had 7 lovely ladies and was able to set up my tables in a horseshoe shape and roll around to help everyone...so next month I will be setting up another table and moving things around so I can do that with both Club’s no matter how many I have!

This is just one example of how much I love them, using glitter will be a rare show of affection however. They are always so patient, kind, encouraging and funny! They make me belly laugh a lot!

Next month we will be making Halloween cards, no technique, and I will be working on September cards soon.

Again, a round of applause for my BEAUTIFUL inside and out Stampin’ Peeps!!

This quote fits how I feel:

Another Beautiful Day!


God has blessed us here in Southern Indiana with another beautiful day...our weather is so not typical for this time of year! It kept me out of my Card Studio all weekend! Now playing catch up and getting ready for Monday night Stamp Club!

I will be working on the box/treat classes this week and hope to have pictures up by the end of the week...I know I said that last week time just flew by! And my Mom shared over 200 books with me so a little reading was done as well as!

There will be an open crop this Friday at the Batcave from 4pm-10pm. Bring a snack to share and whatever you want to work on...I will be showing a couple of ladies how to do the box card bases and getting my friend Sue caught up on hers.  My tools are open for all to use and if you need supplies I have some here for purchase (not much...heehee). If you need directions or address please feel free to email me.

For those of you who still need to give me your orders from this months Stamp Clubs I would like them by Thursday am so I can place the order and get your goodies in here for you to use!!

I guess I better get off here and get busy working!

Tuesday-Glitter, Glitter EveryWhere!!

Tuesday-Glitter, Glitter EveryWhere!!

Whew what a day! I will be teaching a technique using glitter for this months Stamp Club and those who know me well know my dislike for glitter...but this is for my Stamp Club Peeps so glitter it is!

The technique is glitter napkin technique with a “Robyn” spin...I am all about cutting out steps if it is a technique that has a lot of steps to it so this one I did!!! And...they look like the ones with all the steps!

Here are the samples of our July Stamp Club cards (7/17 & 7/21):

Wednesday-Still Glitter, Glitter EveryWhere!!

Today I spent prepping for tomorrow nights Stamp Club and did not touch any glitter and it still is all over the house! How does that happen? LOL!!

My handsome hubby has been doing honey do list things today and a little bit of woodworking...hopefully by this weekend he will have a project finished so I can post a pic of the completed project!

Here are the August Stamp Club cards that we will be making in both clubs (8/18 & 8/21) :

The rest of this week I will be working on the upcoming Halloween and Fall box/treat classes. Stay posted for pictures!

Personal prayer request...our children who have been in the Mission Field these past 18 months over in Romania are on their travel home. It has been an emotional few days for both of them. They made it to Budapest yesterday and spent the night and will shortly be leaving there to head back home to Dallas...all that said please pray for safe travels, peace and calmness in knowing God has got this…

Okay better get back to work! LOL! Hope to see all of you in class soon!

Long Lost Blogger

It has been so long since I have been on my blog and a lot has changed! Not only Paper Scissors Glass but in our own lives as well.

My handsome hubby is now a full time caretaker of me! We have tried having him work full time away from the house but with all my Dr. appointments and now some of his own the best decision for our little family is to have him home.  He may get a part time job but that is still up for discussion!  

He has also opened a wood shop in our garage and is making so many things it is hard to keep up with him! He is working with driftwood right now and is loving it! Watch for pictures as he finishes a project and if you are one who receives gifts from us expect it to be something made from wood!

We also are empty nesters now and that has taken a little getting used to but we are starting to settle in and really enjoying our time together.  However we were a little lonely so we have added to our little family “Furry Emmie” who is the cutest little French “Frenchie” Bulldog you could ever meet! We have spoiled her and all the things we said a dog would never do in our house we are doing!

Here she is with her Daddy whom she follows everywhere!

I have been hit by some health issues which we are in the process of figuring out! I have a good team of Dr.’s and they will figure it all out in God’s time.  In the meantime I know I am in God’s hands and will be well taken care of! I love working in my Card Studio and creating and coming up with classes my Stampin’ Peeps would love!

We are hoping to take a trip to Dallas to spend Thanksgiving with our daughter Stephanie and her husband, Chris, who are home from their 18 months in Romania.  We have mixed emotions regarding their homecoming. I can’t wait to hug, hold, kiss and love on them but know their hearts are broken for not being able to stay in Romania longer. God has something big in store for them!

After leaving Dallas again we are hoping we can drive on to Las Vegas and spend some time with our other daughter, Kristen, her husband, Shad, our beautiful grand daughters, Emery and Falyn and possibly a couple of Foster children!

Okay now onto the Card Studio! 1) Changed our name from Mimi’s Card Creations to Paper, Scissors, Glass. 2) Moved from Living Room area to our spare room. That makes more room in our Living Room for you lovely class ladies to have plenty of room to sit for classes!
