It's Swap Time!<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The year's ups and downs have me lagging behind at home as my Stampin' Sisters prepare to head to Salt Lake City for this years Stampin' Up Convention and 25th anniversary celebration. I decided that I wanted in on some of the fun so I have joined several 'virtual' swaps. Tonight I created thirty of these cards using one of my favorite color combinations Pool Party and Early Expresso! Some day I will figure out how to use some of the settings on my camera so that I am able to share better photo's. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today was such a rainy, chilly day in Vermont. I couldn't deny that this was the best kind of day for getting inky. I walked around in circles avoiding my stamping stash until my 'Wicked' stepmother arrived to do some crafting. (We have called her this playful nickname for years). Knowing that I have signed up for several swaps coming up I had to do what I could to kickstart some mojo. I turned to a favorite card I had been saving to try from Dawn Griffith to get me going before I dusted off my Clockworks set that I still had not put to use. I had seen oodles and oodles of cards blasting the internet using this set and would love to credit one individual for the inspiration behind my card but it would be impossible. </span></span></span><br />

I love Stampin' Up and everything about their products. I enjoy creating and sharing with friends and family. I don't understand why I am still struggling with the passing of my mother eight months ago. I go through uplifting times where I dig out the ink and start stamping ... before long something reminds of a special moment or card I created for her and it is back on the shelf they go. I hope the new catalog brings the MoJo back! Please don't give up on me!!</span></span><br />

You read that right ... inspiration is everywhere! When I hit a brick wall I know that my sister will give me just the push I need to find a little MoJo. I am not referring to a Stampin' Up sister (not yet anyway!) but my amazingly talented sister Marie! I was working on a card for an upcoming workshop in a couple of weeks and kept saying to myself, "it's missing something". I took a break and jumped on Facebook for a minute. Sure enough there was a post sharing a card she had made in her Creative Cave. As I looked at her creation, I realized that all I needed to add was a little something on the inside of the card. The result was a true transformation!<br />
<br />
Be sure to check out my sisters block and enjoy her creativity! http://isomcre8tions.blogspot.com<br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was such a cool day in Vermont ... the scent of Fall lingers in the air as I watch the yellows, reds and oranges shadow the backyard. That could only mean one thing ... Christmas is around the corner. For me that means it is time to switch in to overdrive and prepare for an annual craft fair I attend in VA with my sister. The Ovitt household has endured a very tough year (I had two major surgeries) so I am praying that I may bring in a bit of holiday income. My mind is swirling with many project and card ideas ... just waiting for my body to catch up with my mind!! </span></span></div>

The answer is quite simple ... I love my family. When I talk about my family I am not simply referring to my biological family but also my extended Stampin' Up family - women (and men) I have met and some I haven't who have become important support pillars in my life. Each year Shelly, founder of SU, presents a theme for the business. This year's the was "I AM". I finally realized ... I AM fAMily!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> On a lighter note, I spent the day playing with composition notebooks ... what fun they are to alter. I enjoyed coming up with some fun color themes while maintaining my "Less is More' motto! What do you think?</span></span><br />

dug out the Keepsake Ornaments bundle and man this is one product I
fell in love with! I cut a piece of card stock that was 5x4 and was able
to cut out three ornaments at once using the framelits and the forth I used the 3/4 inch
punch to punch out the circle. Save some paper!! I am learning to use the edgelits and framelits.
I was able to use my favorite color combo on cherry cobbler and crumb
cake! I plan on using the Greetings of the Season stamp set on my holiday
cards but the order isn't here yet!! I'm feeling festive!</span></span></span></h6>

I feel as though summer has slipped through my fingertips. I look around me and ask, "What have you accomplished"? I shrug to myself "nothing". The calendar is chanting 'school, school, school' in my ear. The realization that time with my children is dwindling as we scurry about making the preparations. I try to imagine what it will be like to say goodbye to my oldest daughter as she begins a new journey in college. I can't even fathom it! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">The start of school also sends signals darting at me as reminders that the annual craft fair I attend with my sister in VA is just around the corner. I decided to play for a bit today. In order to transition slowly after spending months healing from surgeries I decided to start out small. I remembered how loved the envelope gift card holder / treat bag was in previous years and decided to put a few together. It felt amazing to craft ... my favorite country music playing in the background ... my mind escaping from its depths of stress. Stamping is so therapeutic!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09544932833394527480noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985482302392390388.post-8055606977272182032012-07-26T17:43:00.000-07:002012-07-26T17:43:13.133-07:00Can't Keep a SU Demonstrator down!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWMuU5OOp7GxLYSXZnY7QhO0kMov1fYtQ0rKOzBT7sH-eFrifR5vvX_mI9eiaJSTK8aOPvEOcTkHmYgFwgQzbNbMtAIJBemgGBIqQU0CBlV8q2CGjqr1Cl8am6w4Wm1QS8GyttOlY7GO5O/s1600/Fab+Florets+Sympathy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWMuU5OOp7GxLYSXZnY7QhO0kMov1fYtQ0rKOzBT7sH-eFrifR5vvX_mI9eiaJSTK8aOPvEOcTkHmYgFwgQzbNbMtAIJBemgGBIqQU0CBlV8q2CGjqr1Cl8am6w4Wm1QS8GyttOlY7GO5O/s400/Fab+Florets+Sympathy.jpg" width="342" /></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I just couldn't help myself!

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">For this card I grabbed some Early Expresso and Crumb Cake paper and ink. I knew that I wanted to play with the color combination. I remember seeing Fabulous Florets stamped in similar colors on Stampin Connection. I only wish that I had some wide ribbon in Early Expresso as the Chocolate Chip is a bit off. What do you think?</span></span><br />

Dear Friends,<br />
I am so blessed to find that you haven't left me! It has just not been my year! As I found myself healing from shoulder surgery that I had at the end of November I began looking forward to moving forward with my Stampin' Up business. My body had other plans. The shooting pains and numbness returned in my arms and fingers sending me back to the neurosurgeon who confirmed another necessary surgery. I had cervical disk fusion in 2005 that did not fuse and thus caused problems in a couple of other levels. In June I had another multi - level fusion done and my body seems to be rejecting the manufactured bone that they used. I have been in a brace for over six weeks!!<br />
Two days ago I decided that the only thing that would make me feel better was to stamp ... but oh where to begin? I found myself visiting a favorite blog Stamp and Scrap with Frenchie http://www.frenchiestamps.com/. I fell in love with her Triple Time Stamping card she shared and decided to 'get my feet wet' by CASEing her! I am sharing the results with you!<br />
Thank you for your continued support!<br />
<br />

The Firm Foam
releases more ink onto your rubber stamp than the felt pads. When using
the Firm Foam pad, your stamp will get an even, solid covering of ink that
you may not have been able to achieve with the felt pads. Please
note: if you are using the ink pad frequently you may need to
re-ink your Firm Foam pad more often.</span></li>

identification! </span></li>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-size: small;">I finally found my way back to my blog! Oh how I have missed blogging with my cyber friends. I am determined to figure out this blog posting thing so as I may join in future blog hops. I joined an amazing yahoo group VC Rocks and want to share some of my creations. In a final plea for help I purchased a book written by Heather Wright - Porto titled Beginning Google Blogger. My fear of 'all that techy stuff'' is being tossed in the can and I am ready for this challenge!!</span></span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-size: small;">I have been doing a bit of crafting. My upline, Michelle Bushey Deslandes, shared a really cute card at our Cards for Cancer benefit and I couldn't leave it alone. I had to play with the color combination until I came up with the "just right" look. My winning combo: Cajun Craze and I Dig You!! Such an easy card to put together don't you think?</span></span></h2>

<span style="color: #a64d79;"><span style="font-size: small;"> As is was crafting and visiting with my sister who is in Vermont from Virginia, I needed a 'girlie' card for her to send back to a special little girl at home. I remember seeing lots of ideas to make a cheerleader girl using punches. Though I wasn't sure exactly what punches were used I did manage to put one together using her favorite color purple. I can't wait to have time to play around with this idea some more soon!</span></span></h2>

I fight the tears as I think about the changes we are in for as my daughter prepares for her High School graduation. I have been trying to get her invitations made (not easy working with card stock and ink when you have a tear escape every now and again!)

<span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The weather in Vermont has been record breaking ... reaching near 80 this past week! I found myself drawn to the outdoor sun. We just finished a few short weeks of making some yummy syrup in the backyard sugar shack (the season cut short by the unusual weather). I found myself slacking in preparation for a scheduled Stampin' Up workshop (Yup, it's tomorrow) ... tonight I pulled some supplies off the shelf and enjoyed some time putting together some card kits. I made this adorable tootsie pop bouquet inspired by Cindy Vinson. I love the Mixed Bunch stamp set and punch offered by Stampin' Up in their current mini catalog! There is so much that you can do with it...</span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Now it wouldn't be right to talk about Vermont syrup making without sharing some of the fun with you. It is such a priceless experience to share with your children and I can not wait to take the pictures from our season in the backyard sugar shack!</span></span></span><br />

Below you will see the stages of boiling sap - a truly amazing picture captured!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I feel so great now that I am back in the crafting mode. Though I still have daily pain from my rotator cuff and tonotomy surgery, I am working hard in physical therapy and moving forward every day. A week ago I gave some weekly planners to my top group of ladies, each customized with Field Flowers stamped in their favorite Stampin' Up colors. I received so many compliments back that today I disassembled a monthly planner and customized it for myself. I only wish that my photo abilities were much greater as the planner is so pretty up close! Now when I am sitting in a meeting and we are looking at dates to schedule follow-ups or pulling out my planner to schedule a workshop I have an easy way to mention what I do!! </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFIuBAZzIRn2Hwq0uiN24H_ecsFq9I9j9zCMQE0-5WGVbHs5HFpugsitHc3rdlwYr-wpbzdL7mmu5SkzT62KmZrD8UrVJxH_zeAqytOcFsAkndm0fqETkoiqbbMC-10JTDnevN1jrD84Aw/s1600/Pocket+planners.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="131" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFIuBAZzIRn2Hwq0uiN24H_ecsFq9I9j9zCMQE0-5WGVbHs5HFpugsitHc3rdlwYr-wpbzdL7mmu5SkzT62KmZrD8UrVJxH_zeAqytOcFsAkndm0fqETkoiqbbMC-10JTDnevN1jrD84Aw/s320/Pocket+planners.jpg" width="320" /></a><span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> </span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Recipe: CS and Ink- very vanilla, artichoke, razzleberry, wisteria wonder, pool party, cherry cobble, garden green, concord crush</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Stamps: Field Flowers</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #20124d;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br />

</tbody></table><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I spent many weeks sitting at the computer drooling over photo's of craft projects waiting patiently for my shoulder to heal. I read everyone's emails talking up Leadership. It felt as though I would never be able to dust off my Stampin' Up supplies and put them to use. It took just one visit to Tami White's blog to motivate me to get my arm working again! Though I have been a demonstrator for a little over two years, I had never tried the water color technique. Tami posted a tutorial on her blog stampwithTami.com. It was a love connection! I decided to bring this to my first workshop of 2012 and it was a huge success!! I wrote a thank you to Tami thanking her for inspiring me. Now understand, I am just a little, never heard of demonstrator in a very tiny town in Northern Vermont. I struggle just to stay active and if I have half a dozen workshops a year I am happy. Can you imagine my reaction when I received a response from Tami White, the #1 Demonstrator of 2011!! For someone of her statue to take the time to send me a message meant so much to me! I'm ready to tackle 2012!!</span></span><br />

Yes, I have finally ended my hiatus from the crafting world. After nine weeks of recovery (I had rotator cuff surgery on November 23rd) I am slowly beginning to stamp again. To get motivated, I have pulled a few cards from a file and CASEd them. I forgot how relaxing stamping can be. I'm excited to try all of the new products that have been drizzling in from the mini. </span></span><br />

I am so grateful for the experience. I learned so much about myself, the vendor world, and the connections between success and failure. I would not hesitate to tackle this endeavor with the knowledge that I have gained. I have a passion for people and love creating and maintaining friendships. What better outlet than the crafting world? Stampin' Up has given me the confidence to take chances and explore new ideas. </span><br />

My sister arrives from VA on Sunday and I know that I will feel re-energized with her hear. I have a lot of crafting to get done before the 'dreaded surgery' in November. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The countdown is on ... two weeks from tomorrow I will be in my car and headed to Virginia! I am very fortunate to have a family supportive of my dream of finding a venue to share my card creations and crafts. I have been busy playing with paper, searching the cyber world for inspiration, and getting inky! These little bags were made with Stampin' Up envelopes. I used my favorite stamp set Snow Much Fun and Bashful Blue ink and ribbon. These can be hung from the tree with a gift card or treat, given to a coworker or used as a Secret Santa gift. So many ideas! I made several different designs and played with different colors! Let me know ... which one is your favorite?</span></span><br />

So many changes have taken place, not only in my desire to find my niche in the craft business, but in myself as I move forward in life. Things that used to seem so important to me now seem so trivial. Much of the change comes from caring for my mom. She is such an amazing woman. I watch her struggle daily to remain here with us and I think of what a selfless sacrifice she is making. </span><br />

She has not left her home for almost two years (except for medical appointments). As I witness her daily weakening, a bit of me grows to appreciate life 'in the moment'. I realize I have wasted valuable time and energy in my yearnings for things I did not have. I realize that what I have, family and faith, makes me one of the richest and strongest persons in the world. I am learning to accept my weaknesses, embrace my strengths and yes, I am slowly learning to trust in God again. Thank you mom ...

I thought that once I graduated from college I would have plenty of free time ... now I sit back and wonder how in the world I even managed to find time to do homework! Today, I decided that as messy as my house is (my husband is gutting the attic to insulate) it was important for me to pull a stamp set off the shelf, blow the dust off and and create something! So after mounting half a dozen sets that have been lying around ... I decided to lift an idea from Regionals in CT (I believe). Cam Meagher made a similar card with white on white and white ribbon. Here is my take:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOEpOz4Eby69y590mSL79HZteEQc3UIF4xLqXnUE9PIAaXAaWBP7gkYZkueyNb2x-dNxnT1ocdi2oDZIIvdb6ihcZu1lg2LK9i6JaElwIlDwxfqD9pLbuGKV-ZqYA40afWkirCGW66p1Ac/s1600/honey+I+do.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOEpOz4Eby69y590mSL79HZteEQc3UIF4xLqXnUE9PIAaXAaWBP7gkYZkueyNb2x-dNxnT1ocdi2oDZIIvdb6ihcZu1lg2LK9i6JaElwIlDwxfqD9pLbuGKV-ZqYA40afWkirCGW66p1Ac/s640/honey+I+do.jpg" width="555" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> I used the stamp set Word Play and layered the Card Stock to match the scallop circle. I played around with colors trying out Elegant Eggplant, Bashful Blue, Cherry Cobbler and Night of Navy. I used Whisper White ribbon on the Cherry Cobbler card and dies it by just sponging both sides with ink. </span><br />
