Here’s another card from my Team Regional event. We all need a crafty type stamp set! This set will deliver!
The scissors has a small rhinestone on it. Note, I positioned the scissors with the Baker’s Twine inbetween the scissors blades. I put a glue dot there so it would say – it looks like it’s being cut!
ENJOY!
How about a fun summer card for the camper in your life! I love paper piecing! I purchased this camper image online at the Silhouette store (can’t publish the pattern because it’s purchased). Then I shrunk it down to fit on my card.
The Designer Series Paper in the Pick a Pattern collection are so awesome, you can make so many different type cards with one paper pack!
I hold a large Regional event for my team – I can’t wait to share some of these projects with you!
Here’s a fun little bear with Bit-O-HONEY candy inside for your “SWEETIE”!
The tag is simply Crushed Curry cardstock cut to 2″ x 2 1/2″! See recipe below.

This Delightful Daisy Bundle has been a hot item this summer! Here’s a couple versions of a card I CASED from Mary Fish. I liked pairing her card with the WILD about you sentiment.
Super simple card to make! Punches make cards fast and simple!
I hope you consider the August Tutorial Bundle that is now for sale on this post HERE!
We designers also offer a bloghop, showcasing a different project but using the same products we used in the PDF that you can earn or purchase. I hope you enjoy this card from the stamp set “This Little Piggy”. There is a 3-D tail attached to him, which is simply about a 1/8″ strip of cardstock wrapped around my paper piercing tool.
The card measures 8 1/4″ x 4 1/4″, scored down the middle.
Hope you enjoy this project! Enjoy the blog hop!

Here are some more Thailand Photos! This was the view from our room, absolutely gorgeous!
Loved spending time with these couples: Jeanne and Steve Moss and Eric and Connie Babbert! So much fun! This is one of the BEST parts of the trips, spending time with friends!
Here is Michelle and Russ Zindorf, Dan and I, Mike and Sherri Peters and Rhonda and Dave Morgan. LOVE these folks as well! Our traveling buds!!!!
This day was another one of the highlights of the trip. We took speed boats out to this area where there are rock formations in the water. There were kayaks ready for us and we didn’t even have to paddle! Because of the high tide, some of the openings were so small, we had to physically lie down in the boat to get through!
They took us around the rock formations, and even into some VERY DESOLATE areas. You could have heard a pin drop – no one else in there and calm, still water. That is where our driver carved a heart from a leaf and we had fun with photos!
That is the heart that was cut from the leaf on the side of my cheek and it sticks from the humidity in there.
After our ride was over, we got back on this big boat, then on to our speed boat to head to this floating village.
There’s my handsome hubby and groovy son LOL
We saw all kinds of things on this floating village. There was a large restaurant, looked like you could rent it or have a wedding reception there! There was a school (photo above), which was quite interesting!
Once we were in the boats again, we drove past the area where they filmed the James Bond movie, The Man with the Golden Gun. Here’s a shot from the movie:
And here’s what it looked like when we rode past it:
Pretty awesome!
The last part of this excursion took us to a small remote island where Stampin’ Up treated us to a beautiful Thai lunch and a beach day!
This day will be etched in my mind forever! It was a special day, to say the least!
I was inspired by Shelly Godby’s card I saw on Pinterest and finally tracked down her blog and post HERE. I changed it up a bit with some current products (however, the bandaged part of the gingerbread is retired). I made the cookie sheet by scoring twice 1/8″ apart from each other, and then punching with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.
The products used are at the bottom of this post.
Here are some more Thailand photos! I’m still a bit jet-lagged!! It was totally worth it, though!
This photo above was taken at the entrance of our resort.
There’s all kinds of creatures there! Some of them (like this one) will make you jump!
One of the trip highlights was the Elephant Sanctuary! Here we are feeding these beautiful animals! There is a big controversy over there with the elephants! Many are being rescued and brought to this safe haven, where they won’t get abused anymore. When they are trained so you can ride them, they are quite abusive to them. We had to watch a video on it, so we would understand why they formed the elephant sanctuary. Many people shed tears while watching the video when you see what they do to the animals!
Here we are with our “elephant poses”. Silly fun!
I’m back from our China and Thailand trip, and trying to adjust to AZ time! It’s hard to capture this whole experience in photos. Let’s just say Stampin’ Up treats their demonstrators right and we were SPOILED ROTTEN by them!
Before we left China, I snapped a photo of a sign on a bench in the airport. I had to chuckle at that!
Landed in Phuket, Thailand on July 9th and we were treated like royalty!!
They always make a cute little door sign for us!
Beautiful fruit basket was inside our room! Exotic fruits and mini bananas!
Rhonda Morgan and I laugh, we both live in AZ, yet travel half way across the world to see each other and catch up! LOL
Breakfast each morning to start out our day, there was something for everyone here!
Cappuccino with cute little designs on top as a HIT with Dan and I!
REAL honey!
More photos coming……
Here are a couple of cards made to look like denim jeans. It’s easy to achieve this look, just take Dapper Denim card stock, and run the actual Dapper Denim ink pad on top of the card stock Follow up with Whisper White Craft ink and voila!
This was our hotel in Beijing, it was beautiful!
Olympic Sports Center where swimming took place.
Great Wall of China!
I love my job!!!!
We took a toboggan down the hill, FUN! This is Jeanne Moss and I.
Boat ride at the Royal Palace
Riding the subway and shopping in China! So this is where everything is made! LOL Who remembers Tiger tennis shoes???
Time for some American food, eating at Sizzlers! 
Squatty potties are quite common in China, no TP either!
Scorpions anyone? They were still moving on the stick and people were actually eating them!
