Stamping with Lynn

So Sorry and Surgery Update

This is a quick and easy card to mass produce.  The card base is Very Vanilla with a layer of Midnight Muse.  The flower is from the Secret Garden stamp set and is stamped off first with Marina Mist ink and then stamped on the cardstock so it is a lighter color.  The So Sorry is stamped with Midnight Muse ink.  The flower trim is tapped into the Marina Mist ink, just lightly, and is adhered with a mini glue dot.  Then a pearl in the center finishes it off!  I love this So Sorry stamp set.  It has several inside phrases to use with the big So Sorry!  This is on page 137 of the big catalog.  The flower trim and Secret Garden stamp set are from the Stampin'Up! Spring Catalog, pages 5 and 17. The card was inspired by Robin Merriman.  My thyroid cancer surgery is tomorrow morning and is to last about 3 hours.  I am very nervous and anxious but I know I will be fine.  So many are going through much worse.  I do appreciate prayers though!  Happy stamping!

Spring Sampler Stamp Set

Finally getting my mojo back after my cancer diagnosis.  Stamping really is good therapy for me.  The top card is pretty much a case from Karla Anders.  I used the Spring Sampler stamp set instead of the Every Little Bit stamp set.  Then I just used the same layout but changed out the embossing folder and stamp for the next card.  Stamp clubs this month made the Bee Card. Both embossing folders are from the Stampin'Up! Spring Catalog, the Honeycomb folder and the Cloudy Day embossing folder.  Love the scalloped dotted ribbon.  It comes in several colors and is plain on the back side so you can choose which side you want to feature!  The sentiment is from the Curly Cute stamp set and has several different greetings.

Ribbon Storage and an Update on me

These ribbon storage products are no longer available but I just had a piled up mess until last night!  After our downline meeting, one of my gals stayed after and when she saw my mess, suggested organizing it!  Bless you, Robin Neth!  Seriously I have a ribbon problem!  I have duplicates and unopened rolls of so many current ribbons!  Does anyone else have this problem?  Had a great meeting last night, making plans to attend convention!  I registered on Monday, and 4 that were here last night will be attending, along with a couple of other gals that weren't here.  Woo hoo!  Getting so excited!  I have my room and my plane ticket.  The gals at the meeting will be driving!  Sorry I have been MIA the last couple of weeks with just sporadic posts.  I found out I have thyroid cancer so am looking at surgery and treatment in the coming weeks.  I am doing fine but would appreciate the prayers.  I am trying to stay positive but every so often, those scary thoughts start creeping in. I just want the surgery done and don't want it to interfere with convention.  My sister and I fly in early, several days before convention starts, so we can have our own vacation before we get busy stamping!  Please continue to visit my blog and I will try and start posting more often.  Happy crafting!
