Rustic Rooster

OK, this is my first card from the new catty. It is the Rustic Rooster level 2 hostess stamp set. The supplies I used follow--Cardstock; red riding hood, kraft and chocolate chip. Ink; red riding hood and close to cocoa. Markers; bravo burgundy, taken with teal, close to cocoa, creamy caramel, always artichoke and summer sun. I also used the photo corner punch, the color spritzer, the distressor tool and silver brads.

Project Recipes

For those of you who have catalogs, and for those of you about to receive them....Stampin' Up! has changed the catalog layout with this catalog. Usually in the back of the catalog they had the entire list of projects in the catalog with the recipes for the projects listed by the page number you could find them on. They have omitted that from this catalog to save money and make room for other items....like the Big Shot items and the Decor Elements line of products. They will, from now on, have the recipes for the projects in all of the catalogs-minis and full catalogs-listed on the website. I have posted a link on the left for you all to click on to make it easier to find.

Me.....

Hi, my name is Sharon. I thought maybe you would like to know a little bit about me.....starting with my nickname....Mrs. Lumpy......sounds funny and took some getting used to, but it's quite simple....my husband got the nickname of Lumpy some years ago. Therefore, I am Mrs. Lumpy!
Quick trip into my personal life: I am the youngest of 9 children. I have six sisters and two brothers whom I adore. My Mom will be 83 in February of this year (2009) and we lost our Dad to cancer in November of 1994. That was the hardest thing I have ever endured in my life.
I am married (first...and only....time). I got married on my parents 48th wedding anniversary, November 26th. I have been married for 17 years and we have, I think, successfully raised his two children from his first marriage. We have Adam, 24, Trina, 21 (in March '08) and Trina has given us 2 beautiful grand daughters, Jayde, who is 18 months old this month and Avery who was just born January 16th. Oh, and I cannot forget my little dog, Riley. He is a 5 year old Maltese and the love of my life!!
I love to scrap and that is how my blog came to be. I want to share my cards and items I have made. I also do some decorative painting.
I re-joined Stampin' Up to further my addiction to paper crafts. This site is dedicated to my Stampin' Up! business and creations. I have another blog that is for other creations made with items that is not dedicated to Stampin' Up!. I have a link to that on my sidebar if you are interested and want to take a peek at that one, too.
I really am not going to bore you with many more details....hope you all enjoy this site and my creations!

...Sharon
