Finally... back to the blog!

This has been a long season for me to be unable to download pictures to my computer! I'm so glad that finally ended. After much ado, technically speaking, I am again able to share with all of you a little glimpse of my fun group of stampers and the projects we are doing together.

One of the most popular projects has been this box and card set. Even though the paper is retired, I wanted to display the contents to show this simple set using a template on the Stampin' Up! demonstrator website by Brenda Miller. The ladies have been making sets for Christmas gifts and they are so lovely!

We work on these types of projects on our Girlfriend's Nights at Grace Church:) This month was Kirsten's Birthday weekend. Happy Birthday Kirsten!

Wish I could have taken pictures of the rest of the gals there, but, batteries died:) Oh well!

Can't wait to show you some more of what we've been doing:)

Inky Blessings,

Lee

Serene Spring

These lovely samples were made by my dear friend, Karen Pamer. She just adores that Juntos DSP from the Spanish Catalog and couldn't wait to color this cute little bunny! She always inspires me with her creative genius:)

Season of Friendship

This was a really fun card to make! I love how much it sparkles! My daughter, Jenny, enjoyed making it with me. She loves to change things a little so hers was a bit different.

December Stamp-A-Stack

These cards were from a special event that we made some really super Christmas Cards. I am a genuine CASEr with no real idea who the original artists are. The ladies seemed to like them and had alot of fun together:)

What a Month!

The holiday season usually puts me on an interesting schedule more resembling what it looks like to put something in the blender on Frappe`! This one was definitely no different:)

This card was inspired by someone's blog (can't remember which one- sorry:) using the Winter Post stamp set, available in the Holiday Mini Catalog. I just love the images in this set and do not cease to find great things to do with it! I sure hope it makes it to the big catalog for next year!

Thanksgiving Eve

Hi Friends!

I'm so excited about celebrating Thanksgiving Holiday with my huge family. We have to use a room at Nana's church to hold all of us! There will be 23 of us altogether! We so seldom get to visit that I'm sure the funny stories will not be in short supply.


On Monday we held a Thanksgiving Dinner for all those who come to Cafe` 4111. We had about 30 people there and it was awesome. There were several teens there and some volunteers and their families.













It was such a great time to spend together :) It was evident that the volunteers and the Walkley's have touched so many lives and hearts through this ministry!

Today, I spent an hour with some friend at Ability @ Work. It is a division of Hattie Larlham that helps in the rehabilitation of adults that have suffered a brain injury or trauma. Stamping and papercrafting seems to be so enjoyed by everyone and they are always fascinated by the cool things they can make. We used the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine to make a variety of things to use to embellish for the upcoming craft fair they will be holding on December 4th from 12 noon to 6:30Pm. Come on down if you have some time. I will be having some quick and fun make and takes at my table. Karen is crafting some of her gorgeous card designs to sell. This will be raising funds for this great program!


They had me make some cards to teach the clients that attend this program. They chose the Winter Retreat Simply Scrappin' Kit to play with. These are the ones I came up with.









Well, I know this entry is long, but I wanted to let everyone know about the great special that SU! is running for this one week only. I've never seen a sale from them this awesome!
