Still going 9 1/2 months since Band surgery and I've lost 123lbs

2010-12-21T22:08:00.000-08:00

I am so thankful and relieved to have my health back. I do still struggle with the fear of gaining weight back some but i do feel confident i won't. The thought only sneak in once and a while. It's so different this time around. I don't feel the same as when i did Jenny Craig/weight watchers, a matter of fact i don't feel like i'm even on a diet. I don't count calories, I don't feel pulled back like i used to at all. Because of the band i stay mindful and make better choices. there are things that I don't have anymore(carbonation, hoagies pancakes) which could stretch my stomach but it's been 9 1/2 months since I've even bothered with them that I really don't miss them enough to cave. Still doing bio-feedback and i have about 15lbs to go but if I'm feeling so great that i'm not in a hurry other than i'd love to have a Hugh party. If i can retrain my brain anybody can. Stay strong and follow ur heart it will lead u. hugs and thanks for letting me vent my goodness. Merry Christmas too...

Ribbon Candy bell door hanger

2010-12-05T11:42:00.000-08:00

Made this for a box swap for my upline meetup last week. I was inspired by http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/734872?si=ribbon%20candy&perpage=12&thumbsonly=0&thumbcheck=stampqueen17
This was a challenge at first. At first i wanted to use Stampin up's Wide R & W stripped Ribbon because i know it will store easier from year to year but when i made a sample the ribbon wouldn't hold apart and it was a very condensed size and i wanted it to spread out some. I finally decided on using some spackle tape to give the ribbon substance to stay apart some.. It worked great and then at the end i sprinkled dazzling diamonds on it and it sticks easily to the spackle tape and who doesn't like some Bling for the holiday right.

The ribbon length is 18inches long and i cut the Spackle tape the same length but i then cut the spackle tape in half. Don't worry, it's ok not to have it cover the whole ribbon. I used Stampin ups' tool kit needle and used the red grosgrain ribbon to run through the stripped ribbon and the bells. I used two 6inch pieces of stampin ups' tinsel ribbon for the top and the bottom. lastly used Su's decorative punch on whisper white for the sentiment at the top. TFL Enjoy this was really fun to do.

6th Annual Holiday Raffles

2010-11-29T08:44:00.000-08:00

These were Raffles i gave away for my Holiday SAS i hosted last week. Congrats to Jacqui and Colleen. The one above I used White textured Chipboard and then I used black for the bottom diecut out using the lattice Diecut from Stampin up. For the top one I Ran Vellum CS through my xyron and stuck the lattice diecut to it then emerged it in the Dazzling diamonds then punched holes in the Vellum Cs and using the trim tinsel, tied them together. Put a decorated cutout base on inside just sitting on the Tinsel and bought a faux tealight and put it inside also. for the bottom one i ran the lattice through the xyron instead and using the black grosgrain tied it together and then just used clear purple colored gel in center of it. looks really cool with the faux tealight on.

Pasties and Bra card to celebrate a friends recent breast reduction

2010-08-25T10:53:00.000-07:00

Above is the card i made for my friend that just had breast reduction surgery. We celebrated with her and thought it fitting to give this card and on the insire i stamped (and they lived happily ever after) It was so very fitting.. It's a custom Bra too. I got the DP from a picture on her website and the lotus flower pastie idea from there too. The lotus flower is a karma flower and has different meanings depending on the color it is. The pastie idea was just worn on top of our shirts for fun...

White = the state of total mental purity and spirtual perfection.

Red= The original nature of the heart and is the lotus of love, compassion, passion, activity and all the qualities of the heart.

Blue= The symbol of the victory of the spirit over the sences, of intelligence and wisdom.

Pink= Is the supreme lotus generally reserved for the highest deity.

Purple= This is the mystic lotus.

Pasties were foam made from the small oval punch from SU and then i cut into the ends to make them pointy. I just ran all the pieces through my xyron after cutting them and stuck them together and then put into the dazzeling diamonds. then ran again through the xyron and left the paper on until we used them. really easy to do. Just be ready to be major glittery.. fun... Thanks for looking... Terry

Mini convention swap contender

2009-07-29T09:44:00.000-07:00

I finally got my Stamping space cleaned up so I could play. YAY!!! I'm trying to come up with a swap for a Mini convention my upline is holding late August. I will have to make 36 full cards so I need it to be simple. I love how elegant this looks with it being really easy to mass produce. I used the leaf cuttlebug template and I sanded it with stampin ups sanding blocks to give it a real look. I always love using Acetate but I don't pull it out much for some reason. I stuck the acetate to the card stock by using my xyron.(works great). I just love using the tag note diecut. The stamp set is a New level 3 hostess set and is in this years su catalog. It's called kind and caring thoughts. Oh and be sure you use White stazon on acetate. It dries pretty quick and won't smear.

Does anybody think this would work for the mini convention swap? Thanks for stopping by. Terry

My Nephews Birthday card

2009-07-02T15:25:00.000-07:00

My Nephew is turning 5 and His party is this weekend. I bet you could guess what the theme of the party is just by looking at the card. Yep, It's STAR WARS !!!! To make the lifesavers I used the tacky tape then just poured the glittler on. For the handles I used Stampin up retired punch. (name?) The happy birthday is a retired stamp set. I used itty bitty backgrounds too. Paper used was Basic black and brocade blue. I still may stamp the number 5 spuratic and fading a few times.
The Force be with you. TFL

Daughters flipflop invites

2009-06-29T15:37:00.000-07:00

These were made for my Daughters Birthday. Her party is at a pool so we thought a flipflop theme would be fun.
I hate cutting so I got to thinking how I could get a flipflop look without cutting. I know it's not a conventional flip flop look but you get the idea right?

I used the tagnote diecut from Stampin up and I used the curly label punch. I also used a 1/8 inch punch. Only stamp used was the all holiday. The designer paper is from a dollarstore and the ribbon I used was either orange or certainly grosgrain ribbon. I typed up the info and printed it up and used the tagnote diecut again. Then I just stuck them together. Lots of fun and quick to because of no cutting. hehe TFL

Frame and card for Retiring Teacher

2009-06-11T09:11:00.000-07:00

Above is a Name frame I was hired to do for a Retiring Male Teacher at my Daughters school. I made the frame similar to the card below as far as the background goes. I bought the Frame at Michaels Craft. Loved it because it's very manly looking. I got a hold of a past yearbook and cut and matted the front part of the school and the sign name that's infront of the school. If you really look close you'll see I made the page look like a faux book front. I have scoring on the side to give it a binder look. I embossed the paw stamp on the top of the binder part.
Stamps I used were Artifects, It's Academic, Natures beauty and retired set of little alphabet from Stampin up. I used the computer for the teacher quote on the side. Ribbon I used a blue grograin. Ink I used blue frost spectrum pad for the Letters and I used so saffron. Thanks for stopping by: Terry

My Domino Crafty day

2009-06-02T15:35:00.001-07:00

I had a crafty day yesterday. I made these dominos into decorated keychains.
I used Stampin up retired chalks for the base heat set it then stamped what I wanted in stazon on. I used their markers to color in or you can use sharpies. I just heat set the color and had my husband drill the holes before I started. At the end I sealed them with a clear matte finish sealer. I bought the keychains at michaels but had to buy the top ring separate. otherwise you wouldn't be able to get the domino on. I used some bling too just so you know. Thanks for stopping by. Terry

Top Picture: The view from our dinner room at the Rocker Feller Center. Isn't it BEAUTIFUL?
Bottom picture: Hubby and I sitting at our table in the Rainbow room.

These pictures were taken in NYC. It was my husbands work holiday party. It was formal too. I'm not so graceful on heals unfortunately but I made it through. We had a blast. It was at the Rainbow room in Rocker Feller Center. We walked right by NBC studios.(so cool) They had ballroom dancing which was so fun to watch. We danced but slow. No fancy moves for me. The food was excellent. We even got to stay over at the Marriott Marquis. So Beautiful. A girl could get used to that happening more often. Here's some pictures that were taken. Thanks for stopping by.

My Holiday Stamp a Stack cards

2008-11-24T06:25:00.000-08:00

I hosted a Holiday Stamp a Stack this past weekend. I hosted it with my upline friend and this year it was at my house so I designed two and she designed 3. We did 5 sets of 4 each. The card above I designed using the new Bigshot die and you can find it here We used Daubers with craft white behind the snowflake. The size of the card was different too, it measures 3 1/4 by 5 1/2. I bought the envelope from the dollar store but they sell them at Staples too. The snowflake is White foam. Fun!! We also used stampin up's glue stick to stick the foam to the card then we went over the snowflake with the glue and sprinkled it with some bling(dazzeling diamonds). I used the white taffeta ribbon and the ski slope designer paper from stampin ups holiday mini. The sentiment is from the to you and yours holiday set from stampin up. TFL
This card above was one that I designed. I got the cuttlebug dot idea from Rainy from splitcoast. She used lovely as a tree . THe house set is called to you and yours and it's in stampin ups main idea catalog. I was so excited to use basic grey in a christmas card. I used Basic Grey for both Paper and Ink. I put it with stampin ups in color for the year called Riding Hood Red. Again I used it for both INK and Paper. I used Whisper white card stock and for accessories I used the cuttlebug dots template for snow. Lastly the ribbon is the taffeta Riding Hood Red.

Coming up soon. I'll be uploading the door prizes( Hoiliday decorated Frames) I made for the door prizes. THe Stamp a stack was a success. It was a long two days but fun all the same. THanks for stopping by. Terry

I got them for 27 cents each. bargin right. I hope anyway. This was really fun to make and I did five sets throughout one day. Sorry for the top picture and not being able to see the bottom part of the tin but I had a hard time not getting a shadow in the picture.

I hope you like. TFL~ Terry

Ink: Red Robin, Kiwi Kiss, Baja Blue, close to cocoa,

Back from Disney

2008-11-06T07:27:00.000-08:00

I'm Home!!!! We had a Great time. I have tons of pictures to go through but I do have some to share. I'm off from work this week too and it's going so fast. I'm preparing for a holiday Stamp a stack I'm hosting and I'm also making 25 christmas cards for a donation for a silent auction my DD's School is hosting. Plus I'm doing a craft fair the weekend after Thanksgiving. My brain has been all over the place so I've been stamping but nothing to upload yet.

I had a ton of fun but It's great to be home.
Up pic is of the children the first day at breakfast.

THis is my whole family that went. My Sisters and mine. We called it the CESMEHART's DISNEY VACATION. THis is at Epcot if you haven't guessed.

My Sister and I at Breakfast with Mickey and friends. Mini is so pretty isn't she.

Here's my husband Todd, Alexandra, my Daughter and myself the first day at the Magic Kingdom.

This was at Epcot at cartoon town I think.

On a sadder note when I got home and checked my e-mail I got some very sad news about a fellow stamper friend of mine. I want to post what I wrote in the splitcoaststamper forum.

Here's what I wrote:

Nancy is an avid Stamper. She is one of my upline Demonstrators. She hosts all our meetings and is so generous with everything. She always willing to help. She's been on a stampin up cruise and goes to the conventions and regionals alot. She loves making cards and I'm asking if it's in your heart to do, please send her a thinking of you card. I know it'll be a long time before she'll have a good smile on her face but I wanted to do something to make her feel good about herself. I know she'll be very honored to have the cards and display everything like she always does.

If you are interested please pm me for her address. Thank you in advance~
