On the Road to Utah

OnStage and Centre Stage are very Special times for Stampin Up demonstrators and their customers. Instead of flying from North Carolina to Utah, my husband and I are driving our RV. All loaded up with 3 fur babies, Missy, Bella and Panther, we start our trip on Oct 24th. Now we realize it is not going to take 2 weeks to get to Utah but our plans are to have some fun.

(Above) My husband Wiley and I in front of "The Bucket". Name by Wiley as this was the first item on his bucket list.

(Right) Our fur babies right to left: Bella, Missy and Panther. All ready for the road trip.

Watching Mommy work on the computer as we roll down the highway.

First FUN Stop: Nashville TN. We set up camp at the Nashville KOA, with tickets for the Redneck Bus Tour and the Grand Ole Opry. We arrived early for our bus tour and enjoy lunch at the Tequilla Cowboy. The live entertainment was really good, so we hung around.

Then Donald Trump ??? (look alike) arrived. Could not help myself, had to get a picture. Fake News...

The Red Neck Bus tour was a hoot. Two hours of laughing; some history about the Nashville, but even that was funny. Sat around the camp still laughing at some of the jokes told.

Well that's it for the first stop. Need to travel for a few days so we can get to OnStage on time...... Check with you later.

Santa's Sleigh Coasters with SU

Now it might surprise you to learn that Christmas is only 20 Fridays away. And I am working on a craft fair for Christmas!!!! This will be our first craft fair, so I am a little nerves.

This was a ceramic tile purchased from Home Depot or Lowes Home Improvements. When these were purchased there was a layer of glue that needed to be removed. It was easily removed with my finger nail. Then I cleaned the tile with alcohol, allow it to dry before going any further. I used the Santa's Sleigh stamp set and framelits. Use alcohol ink or emboss all stamping. Water based inks will bleed and smear. The sleigh was first cut out and the bottom was embossed using the gold embossing powder. An overlay was cut with the red foil, and glitter glue was used on the tree and reindeer's nose.

When I was ready to place these images on the ceramic tile, I first covered the tile with a thin layer of glossy Mod Podge. Allow it to dry completely about 30 minutes, a second and third layer was applied. It is important that each layer dry completely before another layer is applied.

Final step is to spray a thin coat of Acrylic over the top. Some important things to know about spraying Acrylic. It to be sprayed outside, or in a room with good ventilation. I like Kryon, it goes on smooth and is water resistant. After the first coat has completely dried, normally overnight, apply a second coat.

These coasters are fun and easy to make. Here are some other designs using Eastern Palace stamp set and framelits.

Tons of fun! Order your Eastern Medallion Thinlits Dies Today

Scrap Your Heart Out Retreat Aug 2017

WOW!

Allow me to bring you up to date on some really great time.

Scrap Your Heart Out Retreat Aug 2017 was another GREAT RETREAT! We started with some wonderful gifts given out at registration. Crafters never knew when there were hidden gifts inside goodie bags, cards or even special packaged treats. Everyone received a name tag to wear plus one for their area.

Each area name tag had a scissor tag attached.

The scissor name tags were done with Shrinky Dink. Each one had Scrap Your Heart Out 2017 and their name on them. Our very own Darlene shows how awesome they look on your scissors. Not to mention, a great way to keep up with them in a room full of scissors.

We played games, gave away gifts and had our very own scrapbook page contest.

Vera Bradley from SouthPoint Mall in Durham gave everyone a great sample packages. Great samples and even a fantastic retractable tape measure.

Everyone was a winner. Each person got their choice of gifts. Some for scrapbookers and others for card makers.

Cindy and Michelle started each morning off with Prize Patrol....

Looks like Tracy is having some trouble deciding.

But I have got to say, we all loved the games. I will never look at plastic wrap the same again. You think it is hard getting it to tear off the roll. Try unwrapping it with kitchen mittens on.......
