MAMMa Me Ahhhh…

Tutorials/Tips

6 Jun

…we love our MAMMa.  She makes my heart swell with love for this woman, and how blessed I am to have her in my life.  She loves us unconditionally, and we can be rascals. That is all I will say…ha!

This morning my BFF Tracy and I headed over to Marlene's (MAMMa's for short), with our Dunkin' Donuts in hand.  She even had a few things planned for us to stamp, and I love love love going to Marlene's classes, and doing the class with my BFF and visiting with MAMMa at the same time, it don't get any better then that.  Jen, Enya and Isabella came over to visit with us as we stamped.  I will blog the projects later, as usual I didn't finish.

Mamma and the girls Here we be…us gals…Jen was being our photographer.

Remind me to throw this shirt away, I swear I am wearing it in every dang picture I take.  If you see me wearing it at convention, just smack me…hard!

So after we were at Marlene's we wanted to go get pedicures. We had not eaten lunch, and Tracy had never been to Sonic, so we went to the drive-in and sat in the truck and ate…yum! I took no pictures, cause well eating in the car, and onion rings at that, is not a neat and tidy thing…yummy yes, tidy no.  Anyway Trina's on Ellsworth and Guadalupe give the BEST peds around.  You have to go there.  Ask for Tony and/or Selena, tell them Marlene, Tracy and Diana sent ya.  They are husband and wife and they work there together, you will feel like a princess when you are done.

DSCN8288 Here's Tracy, gettin' her rub-down.  With her warm neck do-hickey on.

I swear when you are done, you just want to say "do it again".

We did a little bit of shopping on the way home, we are headed to the mall tomorrow.

The first day Tracy got here when we got home from the airport I had a box from SU! on my doorstep, it would be my first order of sneak peek stuff, with the brand new catalog.

Jeff took our picture looking at it, and tried to crop out the catalog with his hands, I cropped it more, we can't show it till July 1.

Oh my gosh But don't we look amazed? You can't see all the post it notes sticking out of it! Ha!

I wanted to show you a quick card from my birthday card class, as well as a quickie tutorial on doing the fish tail (I guess you call it that) on the cardstock tag things.

DSCN8272 copy Stamp Set: Branch Out, Always

Paper: Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, Kraft, Parisian Breeze DSP

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze, Whisper White Craft

Misc: Top Note, My Way punch, Sponge

Wanna see a quick way to get the perfect little "Fish Tail" on the end of the cardstock? I did it on my card posted yesterday too.

Fish tail supplies You will need, a thin piece of cardstock that your greeting will go on (you can stamp it first if you like), and the My Way punch

Fish tail 2 Turn the punch so you are looking at it underneath, and stick the cardstock in the punch like this, so that you can see how you are going to punch the end of the cardstock strip.

Then squeeze the punch, and remove your cardstock, and you got…

Fish tail …this. Cool eh? It is so much easier then doing it with scissors, cause I could never get them even, and it would make me nuts.

Ok, that's all folks!

Have a super Saturday, and thanks for stopping in!

    Thank you for finally putting a picture of you and Tracy up here!! I was beginning to think it was just a dream and she really was not at your place!!! I really need to order something so I get my catalogue early – I just know you are chomping at the bit to read my new book editorial/commentary!! It sounds like you and Tracy are having fun. I want to meet MAMMA someday too! Can't wait to see all the fun projects you are coming up with!
    LUV YA

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
