Stampin’ Up! Gift of Love You Lots!

Posted on July 20, 2016 by stampsnlingers

Happy Hawmmp Day! Do I spell that different each week…? Hmm… maybe.

Maybe you know – or don’t – my hubs and I have been married for….26 years! Yup – 26 years last April. And we were together for a few before that. Crazy, huh? Yes, I married him when I was 14 – it’s the only possible way this could have happened! 😉

Or not.

Anyway – I miss him! I miss our routine. And knowing what he’s going to do or say before he does or says it. Even though sometimes that drives me nutso when I’m home! 😉

So – I decided to send him a card. And I used a fun little Host-Exclusive set, called Lots of Love. Now, this is a stamp set that it took me a while to decide I needed. I mean…turtles? Hedgehogs? Elephant? What the heck was I going to do with those?

Well – I still haven’t done anything with them – but this card uses the image that was the final deciding factor:

Seriously? Just about as cute as it gets. The set didn’t have the exact sentiments I wanted – but another of the Host sets: Gift of Love did. (didja notice how clever I was with the title of this blog post?? Go ahead and take another look – I’ll wait….)

So I used them both. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Grateful Bunches of Vintage Leaves

Posted on July 13, 2016 by stampsnlingers

You know what’s cool?

Not Savannah.

Ha! I’m cwackin’ myself up!! 🙂

It’s Hawmp Day again – and we’re closing in on the weekend. But – we’re also closing in on the end of the Double Peppermint Rewards Points ordering bonus. Tomorrow’s the last day, folks!!

My card for today is a….spec card. Know what that is? It’s like a Spec House – where a builder builds a house and then hopes someone will like it enough to buy it. So, this is a Spec Card. My friend here in Savannah – yep, still have one! – wanted a Just Sayin’ Hello card for his honey. So I made something I hoped he’d like. I used some Vintage Leaves and a pretty sentiment from Grateful Bunch and Gift of Love, to make…this. Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Gift of Love With Blooms & Bliss

Posted on July 8, 2016 by stampsnlingers

I need a training manual for my goose. And I may need my head examined. Cuz I’m spending an inordinate amount of time worrying about the goose. Is she lonely? Is she hungry? Would she like a cool shower? Is the cabbage I bought just for her chopped up finely enough for her delicate schnoz? If she likes watermelon, will she also like cantaloupe?

See?

Crazy.

She.

Is.

Goose.

And a slightly goofy one, at that.

But – she’s fun. She came to the house this afternoon and goose-guilted Wayne into going back to the barn with her and sitting on the porch while she grazed. Always good to have your big, strong man to watch for predators while you eat, don’t you know?

Then this evening, when we were 1 minute later than she thought was fittin’, she came to the barn to get us. And walked right up to us, stood in front of the fan, and let me spray her with the water hose. Seemed to really like it.

Then she goose-galloped after us when we took her food to the pond.

She truly cracks me up.

But I think she’s lonely…. 🙁

Maybe she’d like to come in at nigh….

STOP!!!

That’s it. I’m not worrying about the goose any more today. Instead, I’ll share a card – which is why you came in the first place!

This one uses the pretty Host exclusive set called Gift of Love. It’s a pretty two-step flower image with several nice sentiments in a beautiful font. I combined it with some of the pretty Blooms & Bliss DSP. Take a look-see:
