Entry to Flourishes Challenge

Hi Stampers!! I Hope today is finding you happy and healthy! It's a very windy and rainy day here, a good day to stay in and stamp!! YESSSSSSSSSS!!!

I've decided to enter the Flourishes Warm Winter Wishes challenge found in their Newsletter. Check it out and enter, too, if you'd like!

For my entry I used medium blue and white cardstock from my local stamping store and
the stamp is Thomas Kinkade's Night Before Christmas. I used Scor-Tape double sided sheet adhesive and Glitter Ritz Microfine transparent blue hue glitter, and embellished with pearls.

I hope you enter the challenge and that you like my entry.

Take care my friends, and happy stampin'!!!

Stampin hugs,

Happy Halloween, Abbi style! LOL

Abbi absolutely loves kids! She is such a sweetie. I dressed her up with a little
outfit I just picked up at Dollarama. The kids had a blast with Abbi and just loved it that she was greeting everyone all dressed up, too! LOL

I hope you enjoyed the pics of Abs.

Have a good night & happy stampin,

Christmas card class

Hi All,
I just don't know where the time goes!!! It's totally flying by!! The last class I had was just a total blast! We had soooooo much FUN!!! Here are the cards we did with the exception of the last one...I just wanted to try and make it with a different color.

Here they are:


I had such fun with this image and card! It's an old retired set from Stampin Up called Snow Angels. I love this set!


This card was made with the Night Before Christmas Thomas Kinkade Stamp and Glitter Ritz micro fine glitter with a blue hue.. I'm sorry that the light didn't do the picture any favors. It's not really clear, it looks lovely in real life!


I used Delightful Decorations by Stampin Up for this card.


My favorite silly image this year. I got this at Michaels in the states this fall. It's such a fun image!!


This is another Thomas Kinkade stamp, Skaters Pond. This too was done with the Glitter Ritz microfine glitter with a green hue to it. Again the pic isn't the best, it's really gorgeous in person.


Here's just another version of the Kinkade stamp, but done in medium blue this time.

I hope you enjoy them. I'm going to close now, as I give another class in the morning. Sleep well, all!!!

Take care & happy stampin,

It's good to be back!

Hi Everyone,
I don't think I've ever had a summer that went by so fast and here it is the 10th of October already!!! What the heck?!! My Hubby got injured at work in the spring and was home for 2 months recuperating...that's partially why time flew by for me, we weren't able to go on vacation in July like we usually do, but it all worked out and in mid August we were able to spend 5 weeks with family and friends in my hometown in the states. My Mom and I really enjoyed our time together this year, we were busy, busy at some times and other times we were able to just visit and enjoy!! That was awesome! Scotty was able to go fishing with his buddy and and did some handy work around the camp for Mom. It was really a perfect 5 weeks!!!

And yes, I'm back to stamping and making cards and posting! I did miss it, but it was a bit out of my hands...if you know what I mean!!!

Here's a card I made with an old Stampin Up set...the label is work off and I can't remember the name of it. If anyone knows, please let me know so I can post it! Thanks!!

I hope you all have a good weekend, and to my Canadian friends and readers "Happy Thanksgiving"!! I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!! Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!

I hope you'll get a chance to stamp this weekend!

Stampin' hugs,
