Praise & Gratitude Inspiration Books available

 It's amazing what happens when you clean out your office...  I recently found a stash of these Gratitude & Praise swatchbooks that I had printed a few years ago when Stampin' UP! used to sell My Digital Studio products.  I created them in My Digital Studio with photos from my garden, and had them professionally printed. 

 I would love to share them with you for a nominal cost.  Please use the paypal button below to order yours today.  I will ship them within 2 business days.

SOLD OUT.. thank you!!

 

$3.50 flat postage is automatically added to each order for orders up to 6 booklets

U.S. addresses only.  Mailed in a bubble mailer, 1st Class USPS

 I have combined the photos I take in my garden with scripture verses from the Bible, and other inspirational quotes so that you have 26 different beautiful pages to flip through for inspiration each month! Great for Christmas Gift Giving as well!

 Each Swatchbook is professionally printed by the Stampin' Up! My Digital Studio print service and comes bound with a rivet in the corner, so you can easily flip through the book.

 

Here are close up photos of a few of my favorite pages:

I invite you to read the M&M Christmas Story!

One of the benefits I offer to my Luv 2 Stamp Group is both a private Facebook group just for our team, and also a faith-based facebook support group for my team that we call

Luv 2 Stamp Serve Pray.

I wanted to make a special gift for this Luv 2 Stamp Serve Pray group, so this week I sent them each one of these M&M Christmas Story gift bags plus one of my Gratitude and Praise Swatchbooks.

I created these using My Digital Studio swatchbooks, then took the rivet out of them and used the pages as individual tags.

I started with the 12 Days of Christmas Swatchbook template download for My Digital Studio

and then customized it with my own text.

Above and below you can see the front and back of the tags.

I filled a Stampin' Up! 4"x6" cello bag with M&M's and tied them with the Cherry Cobbler 1" ribbon, then added the MDS swatchbook tag!

 If this sounds familiar you may remember my project similar to this a few years ago:

M&M Christmas Tin

 

I hope this gives you some fun ideas to use for your Christmas Crafts and gifts this holiday season!

Remembering those who lost their lives in the tragedy on 9/11/01, thankful for those who defend our country, and grateful for our wonderful nation!

Vacation Bible School stamps

My very creative and clever customer Diane asked me about some custom PERSONALIZED stamps she could use for Vacation Bible School at her church this summer.... for any of you who are doing PandaMania for VBS this year, you'll recognize the "Bible Points" for this year...

Diane is going to use the stamps to stamp on the kids hands, and for other projects as well.

You can view our PERSONALIZED STAMPS on pg 144 and pg 145 in the current Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog. There are several styles, sizes, fonts and price ranges featured in the Stampin' UP! personalized stamps.  At this time they are not available as an online purchase, so if you are interested in purchasing them, contact either your demonstrator or contact me if you don't have a demonstrator or if I am your demonstrator :)

Thanksgiving Wishes

Sunflowers always remind me of the amazing beauty God has created on this earth, and how thankful I am for everything He has given to me.

I am thankful for all of you, my friends who come visit me here daily.

I pray you each have a wonderful day today, whether you are celebrating Thanksgiving here in the US or abroad, or just having a wondeful day with loved ones.

Today would have been my mom's 80th birthday.. I miss her.. I thank God for all the flowers in my garden so I can always be reminded of my mom each day!

Blessings to you all!

Patty 

ADDING another photo... I was puttering in my garden this afternoon since it's such a gorgeous day... this will probably be my last bouquet of the season.. we'll see.. maybe one more... but I'm sure loving fresh flowers on Thanksgiving!

Leadership Swap #1

I have been working on my swaps for the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference and have one to share with you.  This one is for a special fatih-based swap I'm in. The instructions were to use the Top Note Die (with the Big Shot machine) and decorate it with a scripture verse or a devotion, then embellish it with Stampin' Up! accessories. 

 

After printing the text on my computer, I ran the So Saffron cardstock through my laser printer, then die cut them with the Top Note Die, then stamped the cross from "Refuge & Strength" (pg 71) and stamped the heart from the Love You Much Valentine Set and embellished it with 5/8" Very Vanilla Grosgrain ribbon.

I have a couple other swaps done but can't show them to you yet since I used the brand new top secret DSP they gave us at Leadership Summit in October!  The DSP will be in the new catalog on January 19th... but if I can share the samples before that I sure will! 

Have a GREAT DAY!

The M & M's Christmas Story

I wanted to repost this post from last December... this has been a very popular idea and I thought it was worth sharing again as you get ready to make up gifts for this Christmas season. enjoy!

I decorated a ton of these tins (and I know you will ask... so I'll tell you.. they are in the "Dollar Spot" at Target) to give as little favors or Christmas gifts.  I had never heard the M & M Christmas story before, but when I read it on line last week I knew I wanted to do something with it! 

here is the story:

The M & M's Christmas Story
by Pam Ridenour

As you hold these candies in your hand,
and turn them, you will see...
The M becomes a W, an E, and then a 3.
They tell the Christmas story. It's one I'm sure you know.
It took place in a stable a long, long, time ago.
The E is for the East, where the star shone so bright.
The M is for the Manger, where Baby Jesus slept that night.
The 3 is for the wise men, who came bearing gifts.
W is for Worship. Hallelujah, praise His name!
So as you eat these candies,

or share them with your friends,
remember the meaning of Christmas.

It's a love story that never ends.

Have a great day!
