Leadership Board Share

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!
Well my friends.........TODAY IS THE BIG DAY.  It's my Saddle-UP! Into Spring Event and I am so excited to be sharing a full day of JAMMED PACKED STAMPING with 30-friends. It's been a long haul .......... But the registration packets are ready ........ The door prize bins are FULL ........ All the sample boards have been prepared ........ The Inking Stations and Sharing Tables are ready for set-up ........ And all the cars are loaded and ready to be delivered to our event location.  The only thing left to do is to GET THIS PARTY STARTED.........and the doors will open at 8:15 and everything on my 'To-Do' list will be DONE!  

Here's a peek at what it takes to make this event happen.......
We loaded all of this........
Into two cars......
Here's a peek at the water bottles the ladies will be receiving.
And a little surprise for the ladies who ordered the pizza lunch!

I'm jumping right in with my card share for today.  These two cards were two of my favorite Butterfly cards that were on display at the Orlando Leadership Conference.  These cards featured the new "Butterfly Basics" stamp set and the SUPER AWESOME new Butterflies Thinlits Dies.  Here's what the Stampin' UP! Design Team created.............
Does this card look familiar?  It's from Page 26 of the Occasions Catalog.  This card uses not only the beautiful "Butterfly Basics" stamp set........but also the very popular "Butterflies Thinlits Dies".
And how charming is this card ...... made with a trio of Butterflies from the Thinlits Dies.  It was also featured on Page 27 of the Occasions Catalog.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share one last batch of Leadership Display cards with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Leadership Board Share

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!
Well my friends.........We are down to THE FINAL DAY until my Saddle-UP! Event happens.  Today I'm wrapping up the "Inking Stations" and doing some final prep work for the product going on my "Share Tables".  I'm also ordering the Pizza Lunch and will be loading up the cars for tomorrow.  By the end of today ....... I'll have all my tasks checked off my 'To-Do' list and be ready for a JAMMED PACKED DAY tomorrow.  Here's a quick peek at what's already lined up in my garage......
This is a third of the registration packets........
And this bin is holding 7 of the 18 projects we are making.......

Today I have more cards that were shared on the display boards at Leadership in Orlando.  These cards are all about the "Crazy About You" set........And Coordinating Thinlits Dies.  Let me jump right in with what the Stampin' UP! design team created with these two new products found in the Occasions Catalog.
Here's an amazing "thanks" card that comes together in a SUPER SNAP!
The flower is stamped using this set and the 'hello' was die-cut with the framelits dies.
And let's talk BRIGHT and HAPPY.  This card used the framelits dies and then strung some circle onto a piece of Baker's Twine and added it to the bottom of the card.
This card was featured on Page 30 of the Occasions Catalog.....
Along with this card too.  It's SO MUCH FUN seeing in person the actual artwork that is used in our Occasions Catalog.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share more cards from the Leadership Display Boards ........... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Here's another card using that same set.......and the super fun "Birthday Bash" DSP.
And how cute is this Mini Treat Bag Holder that is decorate with the "Balloon Bash" set.
The other birthday set that the Design Team used was the "Celebrate Today" set with coordinating "Balloon Framelits Dies".  Such a pretty card!

Children's Hospital Card #7

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!
We are at Day 5 of my count-down to my Saddle-UP! Event and today I'm taking a short break.  I plan to enjoy a fabulous massage with Rebekah and then I have plans to spend the afternoon with my fellow Ranch Gals.  It will be the only day this week that I'm calling my "Kadie Day".  Starting tomorrow my head will be back down as I begin to check things off my Saddle-UP! Event 'to-do' list.

Today I have Day Seven.......And my final Diamond Children Hospital card to share with you.  I made a total of 40-cards for this wonderful organization and have already decided to do this service project again in the fall.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today........
Here's a cheerful little card.......
Using the "Cheerful Critters" stamp set.
I used the polka dot from the "Work of Art" stamp set to create my clear embossed dots all over my base card.
A pretty banner was creating using the "Decorative Dots" embossing folder.....
And my sentiment was stamped with the "Cheerful Critters" stamp set and I used my Old Olive Blendabilities Markers to color my little bear sweater.
The texture that was created with the clear embossing powder is fabulous.......And I just know this card will bring a smile to a little ones face.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share some "Best Day Ever" cards that I spotted at Leadership ......... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Children's Hospital Card #6

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!
The count-down has begun for my upcoming Saddle-UP! Event.  There are only 6-short days left before my big event takes place.  I'm feeling right on schedule and so excited to be sharing next Saturday with 30-SUPER AWESOME Stamping Friends.  So this week my head will be down as I stay focused and start seriously checking things off my 'to-do' list.

My card share for today is one of my favorite cards that I made for the Diamond Children's Hospital.  It's full of  HAPPY COLOR and has a FUN and PLAYFUL IMAGE.  Let me share that card with you right now....... 
I used the 'Hey Valentine' set for my fun and playful image.
Does it get any happier than these bright little fishes!
And what screams happy more than Polka Dots?
I created a three layer 'for you' sentiment and this card was done!
I just know this card will brighten any kids room up at the Diamond Children's Hospital here in Tucson, Arizona.

Children's Hospital Card #5

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!
Today I have Day Five of the cards I made for the Tucson Diamond Children's Hospital.  As you might recall.......My stamping club took on a service project to make cards for the kids (of all ages) who are staying at our local Children's Hospital here in Tucson, Arizona.  This little cards was made especially for one of the older kids.......  
This card just says it all.
This sentiment just says it all!
I used some "All Abloom" DSP and made a sunburst pattern for the front of my card.
I think this card will not only brighten up a teenagers spirits......but also their hospital room.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share another Children's Hospital card with you .......... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Children's Hospital Day #4

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!
Today I have Day Four of my Diamond Children's Hospital cards to share with you.  This card was a CASE from a swap I received in Orlando at Leadership.  Check-out this SUPER FUN card......
Being in the hospital is not fun for any age.......But after a kid receives this card ....... I'm pretty sure they will feel just a little happier.
This card comes together with three Early Espresso circles and a Popsicle stick.
I added some Crystal Effects to each of the Early Espresso circles.......
And my sentiment came from the Chalk Talk set.  All I had to do was punch out my sentiment with a circle punch......and then I punched out a black circle and adhered my punched sentiment to that back circle and used some dimensionals to pop the whole piece up onto my base card.
Just a special little "For You" card to brighten a little one's stay at the Diamond's Children Hospital in Tucson.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share card # 5 for the Children's Hospital with you ....... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Children's Hospital Card #3

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!
Today I have Day Three of the cards I made for the Diamond Children's Hospital to share with you.  Our goal for this service project was to make different age appropriate cards for the kids staying at this hospital.  I figured there were some teens who might like a card designed particularly for them.  Here's the more 'grown-up' card I made for the hospital......
This card used the Star Framelits and Lucky Stars Embossing Folder.
I die-cut several different colored stars.......
And ran my green panel through my Big Shot using the Lucky Stars Embossing Folder.
A single piece of Pear Pizzazz 3/4" Chevron Ribbon was adhered across the bottom portion of my card and then I attached all the die-cut stars to my card.
LOVE how this card turned out and think it will make a teen smile big.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share another Children's Hospital card with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
