Tuesday was our RubberQueen meeting and I heard it was awesome!!! We had 47 stampers there, and Melissa, Anne, and Tamie ran a great meeting for me while I was with my Mom. I'm sharing with you two of the make n takes and a couple of the swap cards. I LOVE the new Ornament set! The Ornament card was our card contest winner, and the Peacock from very Thankful was Tamie Ackerson's beautiful swap card! Everyone who attended formed a team to get at least 45 home workshops booked by the end of August and EVERY Demonstrator who attended will get a pack of the Specialty cocoa paper out of the Mini catalog. If they book at least 25, then they will get the new white shimmer paint! I love it when we can work together as a team! I have already had a few email me with bookings! I wanted to do a challenge like the one we were given at convention. If the convention team gets at least 3000 recruits we get the NEW My Digital Studio for FREE! I really hope we do it. I got my one recruit, and I hope to get more! Anyone want that 85.00 kit? You have till the end of the month. I also am sharing with you a picture of Carter with his first bruise. It was so sad, I almost even cried myself. He hit it pretty hard on the leg of our dining room table. Spent today cutting for the classes to go...looking forward to Sunday. Have a wonderful weekend, and I will catch up with all of you soon. Don't forget to start RSVP'ing for the card class on the 26th of August...It's a Wednesday this month. We will be using all new products, and even some from the upcoming Mini catalog! I also just scheduled a Grand Open House showcasing the new Holiday mini and all the fabulous products. My house on September 1st! 10:00-1:00 or 6:00-8:00. I'll be doing a BIG product giveaway and 6 make n takes! <div>Stamped Blessings,</div><div>Ronda</div>Ronda Wadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06944937830658276649noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635550967836532248.post-28577491560498894752009-08-10T22:36:00.002-05:002009-08-10T22:44:59.697-05:00Marvelous Monday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQG8L2wuGMddgEd8nRDOfsUKO9oiKi23JERa1XOy-hfngx5dln-mF1E_Y79H9IYK78sK3cdt6lklpwPXVeJzyApUdh16VCM2xmjQD4ir-HQuaCzg89ASuGLDav3riBFYdssmQGFFnTKUrb/s1600-h/100_3888.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQG8L2wuGMddgEd8nRDOfsUKO9oiKi23JERa1XOy-hfngx5dln-mF1E_Y79H9IYK78sK3cdt6lklpwPXVeJzyApUdh16VCM2xmjQD4ir-HQuaCzg89ASuGLDav3riBFYdssmQGFFnTKUrb/s320/100_3888.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5368545565911708834" /></a>

Most of you know that her kidney's are failing, and they are getting much worse. She will find out tomorrow if her donor is rejected or not, and it's not looking good, so she will hopefully start dialysis in the next week or two. She needs me, and I really need to be with her so I won't be at the RubberQueen meeting tomorrow, but I left it in the hands of some mighty awesome Demonstrators. Tamie, Anne, and Melissa will run the meeting, and do the make n takes, and Melissa is going to show you a new Awesome technique that I have never even seen before! I just wanted to send out a quick post to remind you to RSVP for the classes to go. Tomorrow is the last day to RSVP for them, and you can pay online using the paypal links, or you can give me a check at the meeting tomorrow night. I will be home on Wednesday so I can put my order in and get ready for the event. Please say a prayer for my Mom. We know that God is sovereign and in charge, but it's so hard to see her sick. I'm sure many of you have experienced this with your own Mother's. But, today with us here she looked wonderful, and was doing very well. Tomorrow I'm going to visit my Mother-in-law who is fighting Pancreatic cancer. She needs a new catalog, and wants to see some of the Big shot dies! I love that she is still stamping! Have a wonderful meeting...there is LOTS of fun stuff in store! I'll catch up with you all soon!<div>Stamped Blessings,</div><div>Ronda</div>Ronda Wadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06944937830658276649noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635550967836532248.post-30351742145156328792009-08-09T10:43:00.002-05:002009-08-09T10:58:32.238-05:00Back Home!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSb6WT7RlSyorYwsdLCVtHNZnRkgt_Led04XSc3foDWMuYhA2dOprlQdum1V9OobAi1p6qtSGIyHG-axv6JujnhyHUxDGjy0qT5a5_YWDOkN3oQDP0Vh-wGVl858JrRSv1AiyUi4BxzsV8/s1600-h/100_3932.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSb6WT7RlSyorYwsdLCVtHNZnRkgt_Led04XSc3foDWMuYhA2dOprlQdum1V9OobAi1p6qtSGIyHG-axv6JujnhyHUxDGjy0qT5a5_YWDOkN3oQDP0Vh-wGVl858JrRSv1AiyUi4BxzsV8/s320/100_3932.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367993960342472946" /></a>

I am so grateful to be home! But, had a wonderful time in convention. I really enjoyed spending time with my downline, and hearing about all the awesome things in store for the company. I think what I'm most excited about is the My Digital Studio due out in October for Customers, and September for Demonstrators. AND, I'll get one free if all the convention attendees recruit at least 3000 new demonstrators! Erica lost her tooth today...I'm so grateful she waited till I got home. I would have been so sad to miss it! Well, Obviously my highlight at convention was awards night. I never leave there less than speechless, and this year I thought I might. First off, one of my favorite parts was I got a new Burberry purse...I love it! That was for being #3 in promotions to Senior Supervisor and above. Carter got to walk up on stage with me for that one. Then I was awarded 11,000.00 for being #12 in the company for Demonstrator of the Year. I was very happy with that. Then in a surprising change of events, Shelli Gardner invited me back to be on the advisory board. I am very honored, and excited. I get to serve with 7 other awesome women that I'm looking forward to getting to know. ALSO, my favorite part was getting to watch Tamie shine as she was leaving the Advisory board. They did video interviews with her, and a beautiful farewell presentation. THEN, I sat next to Melissa Roberts, my direct recruit and friend and waited anxiously as they read off the names, and she ended up at #48! That's out of 45,000 demonstrators!! I'm SO proud of her, and am even more excited about what she will do this year. There is nothing more special than watching one of your own downline get awards like that. The stamping was awesome, and swapping was really good this year! If you're coming to the meeting on the 11th...bring your cameras, because all of that went to convention are going to bring our swap cards with us to share with you. Have a wonderful day...I heard it's going to be hot. I'm going to spend some time with my kid's and try to unpack. Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to RSVP and pay for the classes to go coming up on the 16th!! Deadline is the 11th.<div>Stamped Blessings,</div><div>Ronda</div>Ronda Wadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06944937830658276649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635550967836532248.post-41938648983231553352009-08-04T08:51:00.003-05:002009-08-04T09:06:10.473-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-wkFQwqUTm4GI14yfFFYLhs_OC96UsOxzWxQAv_lTxxvOcMajrperd2pIQwfYtuwxTLLrrGlqbIvZHgSR5qezykp4NrO63ZsGkA1_eCwCOR70d69G34JyEO1YZ1joKy-Rs5wYk-NTG8TY/s1600-h/100_3886.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-wkFQwqUTm4GI14yfFFYLhs_OC96UsOxzWxQAv_lTxxvOcMajrperd2pIQwfYtuwxTLLrrGlqbIvZHgSR5qezykp4NrO63ZsGkA1_eCwCOR70d69G34JyEO1YZ1joKy-Rs5wYk-NTG8TY/s320/100_3886.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5366106242438827826" /></a>

Both of these are AWESOME! If you don't know someone with Breast Cancer now, then you certainly will! It affects SO many, and mailing them a hand-stamped card as they battle chemo, radiation, and everything else they have to go through is one small thing that you can do to brighten their day. Also, I'm choosing to do the Christmas Jingle scrapbook now, because last year it was on backorder the whole month before the holidays. I'm leaving for Convention tomorrow...very excited! Carter is coming with me, and I'm grateful. It will be tricky, but I would just be worried sick if I had to leave him. I have 14 downline members going, so I'm sure I'll have lots of help! For the past 8 years I've always ranked in the top 10 of the company, actually 7 of those years I was #4 or higher, and this will probably be my first year that won't happen. Yes, because I was pregnant and had a baby, which about put me out of commission, and I'm so grateful for him. I am grateful and blessed that I was even able to do what I did! I have amazing customers and downline that have been so patient watching me wobble around while I was pregnant, and then carry Carter around in a carrier for the first 4 months. But, you still can't take the West out of a cowgirl, and you can't take the competitiveness out of me, so I pray that I am gracious and overjoyed no matter where I land. God is glorified in all I do, so I know he will put me where He will shine the most! Say a prayer for me! I will try to post from convention with some updates! Travel safe, all of you who are leaving for Salt Lake City, and for my awesome downline....Can't wait to get back and share it ALL with you!! <div>Stamped Blessings,</div><div>Ronda</div>Ronda Wadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06944937830658276649noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635550967836532248.post-75674957908103681972009-08-02T11:18:00.004-05:002009-08-02T11:46:59.376-05:00Technique Time samples<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMZAWY91_tv_hpeDwzyAxpPLBJrYe5621PYFIlg1iM52LRjYCZ7CPaIfGB62UUGXhmuck1t_fY2adoguH21pBR8DAcy38-xkRFwDkQYq-w2VEc_Oc1u1ZbaPU5Z3hh-B87wfv8E9T-0Pdm/s1600-h/100_3917.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMZAWY91_tv_hpeDwzyAxpPLBJrYe5621PYFIlg1iM52LRjYCZ7CPaIfGB62UUGXhmuck1t_fY2adoguH21pBR8DAcy38-xkRFwDkQYq-w2VEc_Oc1u1ZbaPU5Z3hh-B87wfv8E9T-0Pdm/s320/100_3917.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365407353938870994" /></a>

Hello, Ladies! I just wanted to share with you some photos of the technique time. It was a wonderful day full of stamping, demonstrations, raffles, giveaways, and techniques! The crayon resist one gave us a little trouble, and we also learned you can't buy cheap double foam tape for shaker cards, other than that, it was a perfect day! Thanks to ALL my stampers who chipped in and helped, and for our 10 presenters, you were awesome, and it really helps to see the techniques done in person, with so many beautiful samples. I'll post the 10 pages here, and then you can check out my facebook page <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=21620&id=1614487205&saved">here if you want to see more pictures of what we did. </a> If you're not my friend on there, I would love to "friend" you! These are the 10 pages that we did. Our presenters were: Tamie Ackerson: chipboard, Kari Mason: Watercolor Crayons, Vicki Restainer: Faux Stitching, Sandy Haynes: Polished Stone, Arlena Craven: Packing Tape, Sandi Dailey: Dry Debossing, Faux Alligator Skin: Laurie Gibson, Darcie Helt: Baby Wipe, Ronda Wade: Shaker Cards, Lynn Schulz: Crayon Resist. Thanks again, Ladies!! I'm getting excited for convention...I leave early Wednesday morning. Swaps are done...THANKS to Tamie, and Carter is coming with me, so I will only have to pack. I have the gift for my girls already, and we'll be having dinner together on Wednesday at PF Changs. Will miss all of you not going, but look forward to coming home and filling you in on everything! Have a great Sunday! Thanks for stopping by! So far I've had a positive feedback on my personal training business that I will be starting when I get back..let me know if you want some more info. I promise that lots more information is coming soon...to a webpage coming soon! <div>Stamped Blessings,</div><div>Ronda Wade</div>Ronda Wadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06944937830658276649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635550967836532248.post-75701644495498560592009-07-31T21:39:00.003-05:002009-07-31T21:47:25.780-05:00Fabulous Friday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYl-Dt1c-cNoOx8-3wyugIW10yofQcJ8WmGvQ3de-Bps3eASQ8mypjZbRpp1CBIFSYAn0Z1ifW70iRB6gQNJLcj04ckKQKb1DtmGRKXS4su2ZeN9K7HUcSsxvvjo-5F68n2-3a2aGv3JLe/s1600-h/100_3878.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYl-Dt1c-cNoOx8-3wyugIW10yofQcJ8WmGvQ3de-Bps3eASQ8mypjZbRpp1CBIFSYAn0Z1ifW70iRB6gQNJLcj04ckKQKb1DtmGRKXS4su2ZeN9K7HUcSsxvvjo-5F68n2-3a2aGv3JLe/s320/100_3878.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364821199953047778" /></a>

It's late, but I wanted to share with you my swap card for convention...Yes, I'm done with mine. That's because Tamie did them when she drove to Arizona and back. God LOVE that woman! I have 200 of them to swap. Today was another busy one getting ready for the Technique class tomorrow. Lots of printing, stamping, sorting, cutting, and packing to do. I think I'm finally ready. I have to go to bed, or I might not be able to form a complete sentence in front of everyone tomorrow! Too many nights of staying up late, and when Eric is out of town, I just don't sleep well. I have also scheduled my Classes to go for August 16th. If you're on facebook, you can see my complete album, and I'll post a few here. I'll also try to get paypal links set up for them....after Saturday. One thing at a time. : ) They are awesome! It's a great day. You can come make just one class, or two, or get the biggest bang for you time, and make all 6. My favorite is the Birthday Card class. Make the birthday calendar, and 12 cards so you won't forget again! I'm also showing you a picture of the Very Thankful class, that one's good because it will also donate 2.00 for the Ronald McDonald House...what a great cause, so you should all plan on coming to the class! Thanks for stopping by....will chat again soon! By the way, I'm getting my car back tomorrow. It needed a new transmission, and radiator. Thankfully, it's all covered by our warranty! I thought Hummer's were meant for rough driving! <div>Stamped Blessings,</div><div>Ronda</div>Ronda Wadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06944937830658276649noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635550967836532248.post-10889799556813829012009-07-29T20:45:00.002-05:002009-07-29T21:05:35.265-05:00Card Class cards<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkya4ZR0w2-6rnTUGyvIREIlS1VUg3Vzw5BoxlT-1PEIDhTf4A6SXydtOmdzwbWYpiLrRoa9RPG_uUvzRixU0eqtxtuOpIgTxA8a1PNaKT6FinSGw4fDq7qtRKXTMlhjDAQnJnPqChVWbs/s1600-h/100_3867.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkya4ZR0w2-6rnTUGyvIREIlS1VUg3Vzw5BoxlT-1PEIDhTf4A6SXydtOmdzwbWYpiLrRoa9RPG_uUvzRixU0eqtxtuOpIgTxA8a1PNaKT6FinSGw4fDq7qtRKXTMlhjDAQnJnPqChVWbs/s320/100_3867.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364068362471803938" /></a>

Last night was my monthly card class...we had 34 people there! Lot's of FUN! You get to make 8 cards for 10.00 or if you put in a min. of a 15.00 order the cards are free. I'm posting a few of them so you can check them out, and feel free to copy! Plan on coming next month! It's the last Tuesday in August. We always have a great time! Today was an interesting day...my car's transmission went out while I was driving to the dentist. My husband is out of town, so the dealership ended up having a tow truck come and pick it up. Luckily I made it home safe from Okemos, and I spent the rest of the night home with Erica and Carter just playing and hanging out. Tamie had an allergic reaction to her pink eye medicine, so she couldn't come Tuesday, but is coming tomorrow, so we'll be stamping, cutting, packing, and getting ready for the technique time event on Saturday. I'm really looking forward to it. The booklet is gorgeous! The hot ticket item last night was the Elegant Bouquet folder for the big shot. Everyone loved it! So, if you don't have it yet, put it on your wish list. I'm off to stamp tonight!

I did it, I just dropped off Carter at Kimmie's house. Erica has been going there for over 4 years, and she loves it. He started to pucker and cry, so I RAN out of the house. I stopped and got a coffee so I wouldn't be able to cry, and I needed the caffeine. Now I'm home, ready to start stamping. Tamie is heading over...THANK GOD!! Doesn't that woman know that these three week long vacations KILL me! : ) Yes, she does know, and I'm just joking. No one deserves a vacation more than her! Although, while she was gone, she made me 195 swap cards, so technically she was still working. I have to tell you all what I'm working one...I'm excited, scared, nervous and following the lead of God's will! First, I'm switching my blog to typepad, which will be up in about a week. I'll keep you updated! Second, I'm starting a side business that I feel very led to start. God has blessed me, I am VERY aware of that. But, NOT in computer savviness, or in creativeness (yes, I can copy, and create cute easy cards), and I'm not blessed in being able to communicate effectively over the internet or use this computer to the fullest. But, I am blessed, and He has given me a very special gift. I am choosing to use it! I love to train, motivate, inspire and teach about direct sales, and Stampin' Up! I've been in the top 10 for 8 years for a reason, and I've learned SO much, and have lot's of experiences. I want to share those! My favorite thing to do is to work with my downline and motivate and inspire them. Also, I've been having my son go to a personal trainer for a while, and I am hiring one of my own. This is for exercise, of course, which I NEED help in! Do I know how to exercise? Yes, but not most effectively, and I choose often to NOT do it. Well, that's why I need a personal trainer to hold me accountable, give me proper exercises to do, and to motivate me to keep exercising, and eating right. I am going to start my OWN personal training business. NOT in exercise, but in building Stamping businesses. I will teach you, motivate you, inspire you, and make your job easier, and more effective. I will offer what NO one else does. Training in business, but also stamping will be included in the package, so you will have classes, cards, and scrapbook pages sent to your DOOR each month. Not in a computer waiting to be copied, but the real deal! My goal is to have everything ready by next week. Michelle Laycock from Laycock designs is helping me, and I have lots to prepare, because this is going to be organized, official, and I am bursting with excitement with what I want to share! God gives you a passion when he wants you to follow something. My personal business will NOT change. I think you teach best by actually DOING! I will talk the talk, and walk the walk. This is why Carter is going to Daycare today. I will need several days a week to make phone calls, do conference calls, one-on-ones, and lots of prep work. Stay tuned....lots more to follow. Pray for me! I need to start stamping...8 cards for tonight, 10 samples for Saturday, and 3 classes for my classes to go on August 16th. Tamie has pink eye, but like the trooper she is, she is still coming. thanks for stopping by...I will have card class cards posted today later, or tomorrow!<div>Stamped Blessings,</div><div>Ronda</div>Ronda Wadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06944937830658276649noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635550967836532248.post-23461362601156755532009-07-27T10:18:00.002-05:002009-07-27T10:29:55.502-05:00Marvelous Monday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPrFrKDmCBkyd0lApByshY3Ux7Z5Vxh6YJnG3TJ4MDVbjh0aGN_ne38BZ59PS9q3P8u1mvuadlcDzj6CxxEAHU0yW_4SFWXZg4r0nV1_kpA9jBvSb9YRY6qKuQ8p2WEgb2foOAiL-5VHCp/s1600-h/100_3863.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPrFrKDmCBkyd0lApByshY3Ux7Z5Vxh6YJnG3TJ4MDVbjh0aGN_ne38BZ59PS9q3P8u1mvuadlcDzj6CxxEAHU0yW_4SFWXZg4r0nV1_kpA9jBvSb9YRY6qKuQ8p2WEgb2foOAiL-5VHCp/s320/100_3863.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5363162522805266770" /></a>

I had a realization today....I have a 6 month old with his two teeth just coming in, a 5 year old, with her front two teeth really wiggly and ready to come out, a 12 year old with an orthodontist appt. next week to get braces, and a 15 year old still waiting for one of his teeth to come in and talking about Wisdom teeth removal already....BOY, what a span of teeth dilemna's! Last night I had a wonderful mini camp at Nichole's house. We did 5 cards for 5.00. Anyone wanting to schedule one of their own private card class camps...now is the time to do so! I also waive the fee if they spend over 30.00. LOT's of Fun! Here are two of the five cards that we made last night. Today is the final day to RSVP and pay for Saturday's event to get the 25.00 early bird price and guarantee your spot. After that it will be on while supplies last, and 30.00 at the door! Today is also the final day to RSVP for tomorrow's card class! I'm busy today taking RSVP's, so I'm ready for yours!! We have 10 awesome techniques and presenters! Hope you can come. (There is a link on this blog to pay.) My two boys and Eric are leaving tomorrow for yet ANOTHER tournament. This one was kind of a surprise, as Andrew got asked to play on a team for their National tournament, so our basketball season has been extended a little further. Since I have lots to get ready for I'm staying home with the two little ones. It should be quiet, but I should get lots of work done. Tomorrow will be a tough day for me, everyone say prayers. I have to take Carter to daycare for the first time. I hate to have him go, but I need to start working more efficiently, and he needs to get some social outlet. He is pretty attached to his Mom, And his Mom is pretty attached to him! I'll be sharing card class cards this week.

Today is my son's birthday...He is such a special boy. From a very young age he has had to struggle with so much, and God has preformed miracles in his life, over an over again. He is truly blessed with an amazing athletic talent! So, today, he wants to play Spades with his Mom and Brother, and he wants Kentucky Fried Chicken for dinner (YEA!! I don't have to cook!) Last night's first Christmas stack of the season was a huge success. We had 20 people there, making 20 cards each, so I had to cut for over 400 cards! Without Tamie!! Needless to say my stamp room is a wreck, and I have to get it in some sort of order before Tamie gets here next week, or I'm in some serious trouble. I plan on having one of these classes each month before December (different cards each time), so you can enjoy getting your cards done a little at a time. The Scenic Season stamp set was everyone's favorite last night. I really like the little Dasher stamp from the 10.00 and under page. Makes a very cute card, and I think it will make an even cuter tag. Just a reminder....You'll want to sign up for the Technique time event on August 1st. We'll be using LOTS of new products and you'll see tons of demonstrations! Lunch is included, along with new product, raffles, and you'll make a 10 pages technique booklet along with the printed step-by-step directions. Hope you can come! If you pay by the 27th, it's only 25.00! There is a link right here on my blog. Everyone is invited! If you check out my first blog in May, there is a sample of what you'll be making. Today is a rainy day...I love it! My pool turned green while we were gone, so we can't swim anyway. I plan on beating the boys in spades, and the loser has to wash the dishes, so I can check that chore off the list! Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by!<div>Blessings,</div><div>Ronda</div>Ronda Wadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06944937830658276649noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635550967836532248.post-6276257859081846382009-07-21T09:19:00.002-05:002009-07-21T09:29:40.970-05:00Wedding pictures<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-9eaJb4to8uc7XqlGc0EzFhNmwCfYwo3pnScW8Xma3DK3eUXJEpegoJ76uhaqcG2h1s22hV-mC8T4wLGmbmlehXlZpBpLj9zlz4ioA1aQpw46QeJ9cRvpUAovQcX_bv2wXevBTTxifqDa/s1600-h/100_3849.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-9eaJb4to8uc7XqlGc0EzFhNmwCfYwo3pnScW8Xma3DK3eUXJEpegoJ76uhaqcG2h1s22hV-mC8T4wLGmbmlehXlZpBpLj9zlz4ioA1aQpw46QeJ9cRvpUAovQcX_bv2wXevBTTxifqDa/s320/100_3849.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360920399537205298" /></a>

I'm still in Fort Wayne for Ryan's tournament, and so far his team is undefeated. They've won 6 games straight. We'll see how they do today. I'm posting some of the pictures from the wedding on Saturday. Ryan was a groomsman and Erica was the flower girl. I was so proud of them! I'm also going to post a card, just because. Simple and easy! Tomorrow or Thursday I'll post some of my cards from the Christmas in July class! I'll be doing another Christmas card stack next month too. This one filled up pretty fast. Hope you are having a wonderful week. Sleeping in a different bed for the last 5 nights is killing my back..I can't wait to get home later today and sleep in my own bed! Tomorrow I'll wake up early, pour some coffee and cut for 400 cards for tomorrow night!! Tamie is still in Arizona, so I have to do it myself. Boy, do I miss her! Don't forget about the card class next Tuesday. We'll see LOTS of new fun stuff! I have the new Big shot folders, some paper, stamp sets and more!! Hope you can come. <div>Stamped Blessings,</div><div>Ronda</div>Ronda Wadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06944937830658276649noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635550967836532248.post-22227543988390466462009-07-16T15:21:00.002-05:002009-07-16T15:30:04.892-05:00Scrapbook club and scrapbook class<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT1Wd8I8n8zWCo8y5BvVhish80I3ycUMS7A8h7y14PqvWbv_TaxZ-aPl81LPZUcZvluOAlAUvhE3qf0fg25lJrkjpre230c1jvn0fdU4f3AkJdfFb_t4oG5MOFJBctYJOeWyhWTHmfq_qn/s1600-h/100_3770.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT1Wd8I8n8zWCo8y5BvVhish80I3ycUMS7A8h7y14PqvWbv_TaxZ-aPl81LPZUcZvluOAlAUvhE3qf0fg25lJrkjpre230c1jvn0fdU4f3AkJdfFb_t4oG5MOFJBctYJOeWyhWTHmfq_qn/s320/100_3770.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5359157948066538770" /></a>

Here are my pages for this month. Of course, one of them we made last month, and then the other three this month. You can make these yourself by coming to the Scrapbook class on the 28th for 15.00 or you can join our club! If you do, you'll get to be the hostess one of the months, and enjoy our fun. Summer sure is tough trying to keep a schedule. My boys are keeping me busy, busy! Yesterday I went to Laser Tag for Ryan's birthday party. Of course, I kicked those kid's butts! I love running around in the dark, shooting at little kids and sneaking up behind them!! This weekend Erica and Ryan are in a wedding, and then we're off to Fort Wayne, IN for a National Basketball tournament, and then, if you can believe it, basketball is finally done for a couple of months!! Football starts in about 4 weeks, so we do have a little break. Next Wednesday is my Christmas in July class!! I'm so excited about it. I'll post some of the pictures next week. I'm still waiting on my ribbon to get here so I can complete my samples. You'll get a bolt of the new red polka dot ribbon in your class fee. I LOVE all the new Polka Dot ribbon!!! So far at the August 1st event we'll be seeing...faux Leather, Dry Debossing, polished stone, and more!! You won't want to miss it! Make sure to RSVP, and invite guests to come with you! You and your guest will be put in a drawing for a 100.00 gift certificate along with other prizes! Their wishlist will be miles long when they leave. There is a link over on the left to pay with paypal, or you can mail me a check.

Last night was our monthly RubberQueen meeting. I gave away over 400.00 worth of product in incentives to over 25 different people. Do you want to belong to our group? You can! Just email me today and I can tell you how. On July 15th, you can join for only 85.00! Plus we had awesome training, make n takes, and swapping! This group is so special, and you would love being a part of it. I have LOTS of pictures to share with you, but I'll start off with the boxes that I made last night. I copied the idea right from the Stampin' Up! Demonstrator website (another great reason to join!) under the video technique training. As one of our make n takes we did the tall box made from Tempting turquoise and Pink Flamingo DSP, and I made another sample using Close to cocoa and Tall Tales DSP, also I made 2 boxes using Close to Cocoa and Tall Tales DSP. To make the Tall box, you start with a piece of 12 X 12 Card stock, score it at 2, 5 3/4, 7 3/4, and 11 1/2 then score it at 2 inches at the bottom. I gave you a visual. cut the bottom score marks up to the 2 inch line, and then assemble and decorate. The square boxes are also started with a 12 X 12 sheet of card stock, and score it at 2 3/4 on all four sides. Cut two of the sides across from each other up to the score marks and then glue down the flaps. Do the same thing for the bottom, but before you score it, take a "smidge" off two of the sides. Written instructions are hard to follow, but they are easy! Watch the videos online, and if you came last night, you got hands-on training. We got to see more punch cards by Tamie, and a really cool project by Cassie Thelen...she made magnet boards made from cookie sheets. And, I'll show you one swap card today...our winner. Sandi Dailey. She got a 20.00 gift certificate for winning. Once I got home, Carter decided not to sleep last night...he and I both had a stomach ache, and we were up all night. He's getting his naps today...I wish I could. : ) I'll be up pretty late tonight getting ready for the New Catalog Open house tomorrow...I've got to clean my house. Those of you who know me, know that is not my specialty! I'll show you the swap cards from the meeting last night, and I also will show you the samples from my New Catalog Open house, so make sure you come back! Have a wonderful Wednesday!<div>Stamped Blessings,</div><div>Ronda</div>Ronda Wadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06944937830658276649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635550967836532248.post-32781317377925308052009-07-06T17:19:00.002-05:002009-07-06T17:26:19.557-05:00Thumping<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSVMj0HwSGibgZsHcIM1-nl9CqyrZxQU4sRZG8KoLQfMj0en1y83uK0hwaH2he8G8AKwRcazoJnJD4mw9BZu25nx3CkNcs6UrJJ-BCn86JuSbhoduynyuJ6S2gqZEVVkIkDEkyqn1-myyM/s1600-h/100_3746.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSVMj0HwSGibgZsHcIM1-nl9CqyrZxQU4sRZG8KoLQfMj0en1y83uK0hwaH2he8G8AKwRcazoJnJD4mw9BZu25nx3CkNcs6UrJJ-BCn86JuSbhoduynyuJ6S2gqZEVVkIkDEkyqn1-myyM/s320/100_3746.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355477033920549298" /></a>

Today I'm going to show you a few samples of the technique that I will be showcasing at the RubberQueen meeting tomorrow. I know most of you have seen this, but it's ALWAYS the sample on my table that everyone picks up and asks "how do you do that!" I've had a couple samples laying around lately, and they have gotten the most attention. <div>1. Choose a bold stamp. I like Upsy Daisy, and I really like the trees from Lovely as a Tree.</div><div>2. Ink it up in a lighter color classic ink. (So saffron, creamy caramel, or sage shadow)</div><div>3. Choose 3-4 marker colors that coordinate.</div><div>4. Then thump about 10 times with each marker on the back of the stamp that is already inked.</div><div>5. Huff the stamp to remoisten it.</div><div>6. They stamp, and voila, it's SO cool! </div><div>So, if you haven't demonstrated thumping in awhile, do it at your next class or workshop, you will get a great "WOW". And, have fun trying it with different stamps and markers. </div><div>Have a GREAT day! Looking forward to seeing lots of you later in the week! At my new catalog open house, I will have packages of sample cards and scrapbook pages also for sale! </div><div>Stamped Blessings,</div><div>Ronda</div>Ronda Wadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06944937830658276649noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635550967836532248.post-87120169892605612192009-07-05T18:09:00.003-05:002009-07-05T18:18:43.128-05:00Happy 4th of July!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYn-SpQ_jF7WLLvL7pEHD34yvnrsn98nezTiy__cq57qLVnFUpK9hO11IBpvhJv3QJ1rl5Jrz0T6GNqMfXA9yEhXiwmK0SjO7wkxe9ntrTc6L0fVnvurqbio14l3qVUwvpP2TQvbmeDhBA/s1600-h/100_3737.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYn-SpQ_jF7WLLvL7pEHD34yvnrsn98nezTiy__cq57qLVnFUpK9hO11IBpvhJv3QJ1rl5Jrz0T6GNqMfXA9yEhXiwmK0SjO7wkxe9ntrTc6L0fVnvurqbio14l3qVUwvpP2TQvbmeDhBA/s320/100_3737.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355119202743558882" /></a>

I didn't stamp at all this weekend...enjoyed the family. For the first time since March, we've been home on a weekend, and not have a basketball tournament, and I didn't have to work or go anywhere, so we stayed home and enjoyed the pool, and the family. I'm posting some pictures of what we did...Badminton, Pool, bonfire, and the boys had a carrot eating contest. They were inspired by the hotdog eating contest on TV. Tuesday is the RubberQueen meeting. We'll be doing 2 make n takes, and another technique for our technique booklets. Hope you can come! We'll also be seeing two awesome demonstrations. Cassie Thelen is going to show us how to make a magnet board out of a cookie sheet!! Then Tamie will WOW us like always. By the way, I had the DSP samplers priced wrong, so I updated them! Looking forward to lots of fun stamping this week.

For the month of July, I've put together a New Designer Series paper Sampler, so you can get some of the papers in and play with them. There are three to choose from, you can get 1,2, or all 3 for a really good deal! Each pack comes with a 6 X 6 piece of the new Designer Series Papers. Pack 1 is the 6 New Incolors for a total of 36 6 X 6 sheets. Pack 2 includes: Noveau Chic, Cottage Wall, Tall Tales, Kaleidoscope, Razzleberry Lemonade, Storybook Specialty. Pack 3 is a Holiday pack: Thoroughly Modern, Holiday Lounge, Cast-a-spell, Autumn Traditions, Merry Moments, and The Write Stuff Specialty. One pack is 10.00, two packs is 18.00, all 3 packs is 25.00. 3 packs will give you all 108 6 x 6 sheets of the NEW Designer Series Paper! If you want any of these shipped to you, it would cost an additional 5.00 for Priority mailing. Check the side bar for a dropdown paypal link. These are sized perfectly to go through the Big Shot!! Now, for my pictures, they are my scrapbook pages for June. It only took me 11 months to order the Trendy Trees, but I really love them! I wish I would have gotten the wheel and stamp set sooner. I can't wait to make some super cute Fall cards with them. I've heard lots of hype over my Christmas in July...I hope you can come! Next Tuesday is the RubberQueen meeting! Even you don't belong to the group, you are able to come. We have enough room to support everyone! Hope you're enjoying the new Catalog. I'm already completely in love!! Have a great day!

I can't believe the year is half over! And, our new Stampin' Up! year is coming. I LOVE the new catalog, and can't wait to start using it! tomorrow is the day! Have you ever been to one of my New Catalog open houses? They are are the best! Some Demonstrators won't even do them because basically I'm giving you my old stamp sets and accessories, but I want you to have them!! I'll have my own little store set up where you come shop from 8 years worth of retired stamps, and they are priced at face value, even though they are worth so much because you can no longer buy them, BUT the best part is whatever you spend that day, you get for FREE out of the new catalog. Get the new colors, new stamp sets, new ribbons, or really go crazy and get all the new Designer Series Paper! Plus you'll get to make 6 projects using new stamp sets, dies, accessories and the new colors. I hope you can come! Bring a friend, and you 'll get to make an extra set of the projects! It's at my house, so I have two time slots. 10-1:00 or 6-8:00. RSVP, because space will be limited. My pictures today are the three other Card class cards, and a few of my projects from the Mount Pleasant meeting last Monday. We made two envelope mini scrapbooks. One with the Rich Razzleberry and Clear envelopes. The stamp set was Always. This is such a cool way to give pictures to someone, or to keep some of your own. Next was a mini scrapbook made out of two mini envelopes and a piece of 12 X 3 paper scored every 3 inches. Then there are two pullouts inside the envelopes for a few more pictures. The stamp set was Razzle Dazzle, and the DSP was the Raspberry Lemonade. And, lastly I made a picture frame with the long boards ran through the big shot with the Pink Flamingo DSP, and the top note. What a cute way to add a picture or two on top of a desk, and so cheap! They cost about 1.00 to make! Looking forward to catching up with you tomorrow, make sure you stop back by!<div>Stamped Blessings,</div><div>Ronda</div>Ronda Wadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06944937830658276649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635550967836532248.post-81428898991780953732009-06-29T22:52:00.003-05:002009-06-29T23:08:43.308-05:00Home from Kentucky!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheE7Ehu3dp9ozGeqZKveiz4BJ4ftVLhA_hxcFyMFNBjON8DrObRJtu3PS6hmD61XPDaJ2YQEf2d9aUDqfn-RZ6m3xEm76y1hbtIBvZVPTx264uwLaPWLzF0LPDuXATtH-BS58NKxnOm1Ud/s1600-h/100_3689.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheE7Ehu3dp9ozGeqZKveiz4BJ4ftVLhA_hxcFyMFNBjON8DrObRJtu3PS6hmD61XPDaJ2YQEf2d9aUDqfn-RZ6m3xEm76y1hbtIBvZVPTx264uwLaPWLzF0LPDuXATtH-BS58NKxnOm1Ud/s320/100_3689.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352967684951747554" /></a>

Boy, I've never been so glad to get into bed last night! After 5 nights in a small cabin with no bathroom, and 4 kids, I REALLY need some rest after that vacation. It was fun, and I loved being with my family, but camping with a 6 month old is exhausting. Not to mention that I got some sort of poison ivy, and my daughter got car sick, and I got a stomach ache on the drive home. It felt SO good to take a bath, and be home! I'm posting a few of my pictures from the trip. Andrew with Carter on the hammock, Erica after a day in the sun and Stampin' Up!'s tattoos on her cheek, and Ryan with his cousin. We camped with 30 members from my family. Now, on to some stamping news!! The new catalog debuts in ONLY 1 more day! Check back here on July 1st for a new catalog special! I've scheduled my new catalog open house on July 9th here at my house, along with a Christmas in July Card stack on July 22nd, and a double stamp camp on Sunday, July 12th with the new Ronald McDonald house stamp set, and one of the new mini card kits on page 208. Tomorrow is the June card class...I still have space, just email me by noon tomorrow if you want to come, and feel free to bring a guest. I'm posting a few of the cards that we'll be making. Most of it will be new stamp sets and colors, and then I threw in the "B" fabulous card because I really love that set, and it's retiring. I copied that one from Tamie Ackerson. Only ONE day left to get all the retired sets that you want! Big Flowers, Just B, Hugs and Wishes, Great Grad, and so many more!! I'm doing a special for one more day..buy one retired set, get one at 1/2 price! Email me with as many as you want at Ronda@stampwithronda.com. When I got home, I got an email from my good friend Sandy Haynes, and her daughter was in an ATV accident and sustained head injuries and is in ICU in Grand Rapids. Many of you know her, so please keep Melissa in your prayers. Her son Garret was just in a snow mobile accident just a year ago, and had similar injuries that were even worse. I will keep you updated as I hear from Sandy. Life is precious! We worry so much about our children, and just today in my Bible study, I read about calling upon the Lord to heal our Children now even before they are hurt or injured. It is one of our promises that the Lord can and will heal when we call upon Him! So, I remind all of you today to pray that God puts a hedge of protection around each one of your children. Have a wonderful day, and I look forward to stamping with many of you tomorrow!<div>Stamped Blessings,</div><div>Ronda</div>Ronda Wadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06944937830658276649noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635550967836532248.post-25055154032034806322009-06-21T06:47:00.003-05:002009-06-22T08:32:14.153-05:00Happy Father's Day<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdtMU_qdtDW7rdHdLn2yOojxcJkoO45cy9BY8O-7vQ94m_06gwuOcHOI-ikxIHucBkD77zLpi8bNXA5yDMk0uKPnW30wQupqCTf8Io27SQpKajms860Mj1F8rFBp5AK8wUoU7-8NvYwASV/s1600-h/100_3631.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdtMU_qdtDW7rdHdLn2yOojxcJkoO45cy9BY8O-7vQ94m_06gwuOcHOI-ikxIHucBkD77zLpi8bNXA5yDMk0uKPnW30wQupqCTf8Io27SQpKajms860Mj1F8rFBp5AK8wUoU7-8NvYwASV/s320/100_3631.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349747547154290226" /></a>

I'm pretty sure not many of us will get the chance to stamp today, as we will be dedicating today to our Father's in our life. My husband will be spending the day watching our oldest play basketball, which I think is one of his favorite things to do, and then I'll make him Lasagna for dinner. My dad is in Kentucky camping where I'll be later in the week. Well, I had a really rough weekend, and my stress level is to the roof, because with all this rain, my basement got a big leak, and water poured in my stamp room all Friday night! Which means it's completely torn up! And, I have our Mount Pleasant meeting to get ready for tomorrow, and not one clean spot in my office to work. I know I'll get it done, I always do, but I may be up till wee hours of the morning tonight. The blessing is that nothing major got ruined. Just all my bags that I've collected over the years from all my conventions, Founder's and Leadership conventions. It brought back memories looking at each one before I had to throw them away. Funny thing was, I even found some great stuff in a few of them that I forgot was in there and didn't put away. Let's see, I'm posting a few projects from my Big Shot class this week, a little gift card bag made from two top notes, and inside fit a medium cello bag perfectly, then a circle album made with the thick window sheets and pieces of the To the nines DSP, so we could make mini books for our Dad's. I LOVE making these mini books with the thick window sheets because it gives them such added stability. I'm also posting another card made at our Sponge class. This class was very cool, a little tricky, and our fingers got very inky! Then, a swap card made by Gayle McCracken using Orchid Opulence, and the Manhattan Flower folder with the card stock vellum...I LOVE that! I will be doing almost the exact one at my card class on the 30th. Lastly, it's my Carter...he is now officially on the move! He scooches and gets himself into all kinds of places. Makes getting work done pretty difficult. He's only 5 1/2 months!!!! He also won't nurse anymore...he's just too nosey, and can't stand to look away from anything for even a moment! I miss those quiet times with him, and I hate making a bottle at 4:00 in the morning, but it's easier to leave him now with a sitter when I have to go to work. I hope you all have a wonderful day! I'll post some of my Mount Pleasant meeting samples tomorrow, or Tuesday. The theme is all new colors, plus Fun with envelopes. We're making a few neat projects using some of the different envelopes we have. Blessings to you all!!!<div>Love,</div><div>Ronda

I just walked inside from sitting outback on a swing with Carter. Boy, God is good!! My boys were playing basketball outside, and they weren't fighting, Erica was watching a movie with a friend inside, Eric was folding laundry, and I was rocking with Carter smelling the lilacs. There are a few moments in each week that I truly feel at peace, and that was one of them! Today was the end to one crazy week. I think I drove back and forth to our high school at least 25 times this week! But, Andrew and Ryan did spectacular in their basketball camp. Ryan won the shooting champ, and Andrew won the one-on-one champ. Both hard awards to earn! I obviously didn't get to stamp much, but I did a lot earlier in the week to show you. The two bigshot projects are what you get for free when you buy a spot on my big shot board. I have two spots left on my first one, and then we'll draw for our winner. Our next samples are a swap card by Laurie Gibson using the new Rich Razzleberry and Bermuda Bay and by Tamie Ackerson doing the monochromatic card with Rich Razzleberry ink, cs, and polka dot ribbon. Then lastly I want to share with you the new Big shot die for Gift cards. I didn't order this one at first, but once I saw it in the new book, I decided I just had to have it. I'm SO glad I did. It's really cool, and easy to use! I made the outside really simple, because the inside is just so unexpected and awesome! We'll be using this at the Big shot class on the 17th. I am extending the deadline to Monday for both of these classes. But, I have to know by Noon at the lastest. This weekend we have a few Open houses to go to, like I'm sure everyone else does, and then Ryan has a basketball tournament.

Our RubberQueen meeting was Tuesday...boy was it fun! We saw and played with lots of the new stamp sets, colors and big shot dies from the preorder. I have a ton of samples to share with you, so I'll post a few today and a few more tomorrow. Melissa Roberts made the one with the stamp set "On a Pedestal", and used the color combination of Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo. I used the new Mover and shapers with the Melon Mambo paper also. I LOVE the Magnetic Movers and Shapers because it layers our punches perfectly. But, REMEMBER, you have to own the Mover and Shapers die to make these work. It's worth the money! I will use these all the time. Sandy Haynes won our card contest using the Bella Flower that is retiring. It's the one that is black and white. I talked a lot about how to make money doing Stampin' Up!, and about how to make your summer FUN! I'm so excited for my Sizzlin' Summer challenge, and hope you all play with me to earn tickets! Each card class you come to you get an entry, and if you bring a guest, you get another entry, and then for each specialty class you come to, you'll get 2 entries. Then I'll also reward you with more entries for orders placed. If you book a workshop of your own, you'll get 10 entries! It will run for June-August, and in August I will draw for 4 winners. One 100.00 winner, and 3 25.00 winners! This week is my craziest week of all. Both my boys have basketball camp ALL day from 10:00-5:00, and then games at night, and Baseball games too! So, I'm in and out alot, but I'd love to hear from you. Enjoy the samples!<div>Blessings,</div><div>Ronda</div>Ronda Wadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06944937830658276649noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635550967836532248.post-50903514781086205022009-06-04T22:55:00.003-05:002009-06-04T23:07:08.346-05:00My favorite Graduation card<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3savia9vsUmNgpxWEn5FIZT6VCoEPG5DXwR_j1Itpf4-lcqKlGZHpiwwFH9iZcd6n459T_n7Ym9CzTwvwlH71hPjYlbiahUJETnpEFVqGeTVJnwgIkstHnX9UDt7DCjmLtIrjanZP4VE1/s1600-h/100_3610.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3savia9vsUmNgpxWEn5FIZT6VCoEPG5DXwR_j1Itpf4-lcqKlGZHpiwwFH9iZcd6n459T_n7Ym9CzTwvwlH71hPjYlbiahUJETnpEFVqGeTVJnwgIkstHnX9UDt7DCjmLtIrjanZP4VE1/s320/100_3610.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343689490960227138" /></a>

I really wanted to show you all my favorite Graduation card I got. Of course, I helped her make them, so I'm a little biased, but I thought it was beautiful. She is a "girly-girl" and didn't want to use the typical school colors, so we went with Chocolate chip and pretty in pink, then added some glitter. By the way, this is using the stamp set Great Grad, which is being retired... AND there is NO new graduation set taking it's place, so get this one while you can! I'm leaving tomorrow to spend a few days with my Mom, and Eric's Mom. Eric and Ryan are off to a tournament by themselves. I usually don't like for us to split up the family, but I really want to spend as much time as I can with my Mom before she starts dialysis, and Eric's Mom while she's going through Chemo. We're leaving like at 5:30 in the morning, to see if that helps with Carter's crying. I'm dreading going by myself and having him going into a screaming fit. Yes, I know it's past midnight right now..I need to go to bed! but, before headed off, I wanted to share another new card with you! This one is using Soft Suee and Not Quite Navy, and the new Autumn days set. It's my masculine card for the New sneak peak from Wednesday. Don't you love how you can flip the polka dot ribbon over, and it's plain. Perfect for those cards you don't want too busy, or for a masculine one. By the way, I only have 3 spots left on my big shot board if you want one of them! I'll probably start a new one, once this one is full. I meant to get my newsletter done to today, and off in the mail. It didn't get done. I was walking upstairs to rock Carter, and my bed called me. So, he and I curled up and took an hour nap. I have to say, it was wonderful. What precious moments. My newsletter will get out next week. So, I should let you know that I scheduled a sponge card class on June 17th, and a really cool Big shot class on June 17th. You can come take both of them, or just one of them. Also, I scheduled our next Mount Pleasant meeting for June 22nd. It's during the week this time, because weekends are so crazy during June. I hope you can come! They are all going to be SO cool! Have a wonderful weekend! I'll be back on Sunday. <div>Blessings!!</div><div>Love,</div><div>Ronda</div>Ronda Wadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06944937830658276649noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635550967836532248.post-69193511979513627042009-06-03T15:13:00.004-05:002009-06-03T15:30:48.155-05:00Wonderful Wednesday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3ta6LxUAeh_m_jURpzxdV90Mq4zed50wH6fvvjGDg2RFgBsBWGy9Lkb5JU2ig2taDg6J9lQLGsDQUjfM7Zl0pL_9nO3JUOsLRKbFDh0zsihnIjaXDGZJt2rL2f6gQ68Zvc_HGM7sb424b/s1600-h/100_3598.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3ta6LxUAeh_m_jURpzxdV90Mq4zed50wH6fvvjGDg2RFgBsBWGy9Lkb5JU2ig2taDg6J9lQLGsDQUjfM7Zl0pL_9nO3JUOsLRKbFDh0zsihnIjaXDGZJt2rL2f6gQ68Zvc_HGM7sb424b/s320/100_3598.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5343200786249563826" /></a>

I'm in a break between my stamping groups. I've already had 16 people come through, and there will be 10 more tonight. We've already had so much fun stamping with the new colors and stamp sets, and especially going over the new catalog together. I'm sure all you demonstrators are anxiously awaiting yours! I can't wait to slow down a bit, grab a cup of tea or coffee and curl up after the kids go to bed and just go through it page by page. A new thing that I noticed today, is the paper piercing tool is now an item by itself...YEA, and it's only 3.50! Really Cool! Also, there is a new monogram alphabet set that is beautiful. I'm posting a few pictures of my stampers today, just because we had so much fun. I hope you can come next time. Also, the picture of Carter is him showing us his excitement that the new In-colors come in Markers!!! YEA! Lastly, I'm sharing another sample from today. The colors are the new Dusty Durango, and the Mambo melon. Stamp set is circle circus and teeny tiny wishes, and the Dusty Durango spotted ribbon. Plus, I used the new punch! I love it all! I have loved having all of my stampers here in my house. It never ceases to amaze me how blessed I am to call this my job. I worked all day today, and I can say it has been loads of fun! Not many people can say I worked and stamped all day! Plus, I got to stay home with my baby, and he has loved seeing all the wonderful women come through. Tomorrow is my kid's last day of school...I'm looking forward to that. I'm really tired of all the school work, and studying and projects and all that! I already went through school once, and I don't like living through it again with my kid's! Have a wonderful night! Thanks for stopping by!<div>Blessings,</div><div>Ronda

The best way to describe the New catalog, is that I feel like I can just curl up with a cup of coffee and sit in a chair and look at it forever. It is so warm and inviting, and NOT overwhelming. There are certainly cool new stamp sets, AWESOME new papers and colors, but not so much that I feel like overwhelmed. Which is what I feel alot of times when a new book comes out. This book already feels like a good friend, and I'm looking forward to spending the whole year getting to know it better. I will memorize page numbers, and go page by page and find my favorite samples and stamp sets. Something I hadn't done with the past few catalogs, because they were only around for such a short time. I am SO impressed with the color swatches page. It's like they somehow put REAL swatches of each color on the pages. It is so cool, and they are true to color. The new polka dot ribbon is gorgeous! I love the new Razzleberry In-color, and the soft suede is much like True Thyme. One of my favorite things is the new wedding section, with stamp sets, and paper specially for invitations. The paper is going to be so beautiful to send through the big shot...speaking of The Big shot..there are SO many new dies and many of them exclusive only to Stampin' Up! and two new folders like the Manhattan flower. I am going to spend a fortune on dies in July. But, they also kept all our current ones too, so keep on buying those. I could go on and on...but I have to get up early to get ready for all my guests tomorrow. I have 26 people coming to share the day with me. I will post a couple of the samples we'll be making, and also another retired stamp set one. The Doodle This card was made by Tricia Bloomfield, doing the Stained Glass technique with card stock vellum. The other two cards are using the new incolors and stamp sets. Enjoy! <div>Blessings,</div><div>Ronda</div>Ronda Wadehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06944937830658276649noreply@blogger.com1
