I know....I know...you probably all think I fell off the face of the earth...we have been going thru some family difficulties, and right now, I just can't Blog....my MOJO is also seriously hurting, although it has gotten better....I will shoot for getting back to posting in January, after the holidays. Please check back then....I miss you all!!! Cathy

Goodness, I am sorry for not posting in a long, long while...it has been a busy time here at the Waskewicz household!!!! We have a new addition to our family....For a while now, I've been wanting a small lap dog. Steven has Rusty...but he is sooooo.....BIG!!!! I love Yorkies, but they can be very high strung( I wanted a Calm lap dog!!!). Steven was on Craigs List and happened to come across a Maltese Yorkie mix....so we went and looked at him. What a charmer. The young man who owned him, was moving out of the state on a Family emergency, and couldn't bring him with him. So we snatched him up. That is how Chewey came to live with us. (Chewbaca is his given name...but he is so tiny....more like a Wookie then an Ewok!!!) The Maltese has tempered him, but he looks like a Yorkie....When we got him, he had never been cut and his fur was so matted.

We have since had him groomed, it took the poor woman 5 hours to do him....but she was so patient and kind with him...I highly recommend Puppy Dog Tails Groomers. He looks double his size here with all the fur.


And here he is clipped...he hates to have his picture taken, and wouldn't stand up or look at the camera
So this is why, I've been missing. I did have my Open House last Weekend, and my downline meeting wiht Karen today...will post about those later along with some samples!!!!

Hello all of you fabulous Stamper's. I know it has been a long time since I have posted....Been to Convention...and back. It was a super blast, as always!!! I always learn so much and am bursting with things I want to share with you all!!!! Classes will be coming up as I get them put together, so keep watching. My Open House is next Sunday, July 31 from 1:00-4:00. I have the Make -n-Take all ready, there will be food, and discontinued sets and supplies for sale!!!!

Time to share:





Here are some cards from our last group get together, We made Summer cards....love the bold colors!




And here is a fun card that we did for last months Stamper's 10, I loved it so much I used it for my swap at Convention. It is a Digital Hybrid Card. The designer paper is no longer available to buy, but you can print it out from My Digital Studio, along with the Frog image. Add some ribbon and dimensional, regular card stock and you have a great card!!!

And..I almost forgot the best thing...Click on the link on the left for a look at the new SU catalog...it is great!!!

Man....is it HOT!!!! Movin' very slow....glad today was a holiday...Happy Birthday America!!! Have been puttering in my Studio...made my gifts for my roomies at Convention, and am working on my swaps....Glad I got most of the house stuff done over the weekend!!!

Thought I'd share some cards...first is my swap that I did for our get together last weekend at Dees...
















Next are some of the swap cards I got...will post more this week:















Finally, pulled this card out of my pile of cards...love the watercolor look

Hello All....Summer is here....it is HOT!!! But still cooling down nicely at night, so tolerable. Today was a Stampin' Day...went to Dee's house and stamped with great ladies!!! Will show the cards later....right now, these are some cards that Phylis's and I did last weekend.
















Then, Inkslingers met on Wednesday, and Sue had these as our projects...Great projects Sue!!!!
These were using the Resist Technique!!!!


And these were making your card front and THEN running it thru your embossing folder!!!!

Hello everyone....has it been another week...fortunatly, I get more caught up each week....that is a good thing!!!!

Thought I would post the projects that we did at this month's Stamper's 10.

This month we did cards using My Digital Studio...so much fun, so easy, and so many more images to play with. The first card with the Froggy, was to show that you have tons of background papers that you can print out. Along with the Frog...an image we have digitally but not as a stamp image!!! I like doing cards that are hybrids, using digital, and then embellishing them with ribbon, brads, dimensionals, etc. But I plan on doing cards for work this Christmas that are totally digital...the time saved will be priceless!!!! And those, since they are for work, I will have the SU professionals print them up!!!!

The second card showed that many of the paper images that are availabl as downloads,are papers that have been discontinued...I loved the Bella Rose papers...and now I can still get them!!! Woo Hoo!!! Also we played with the new triple punches...so cool!!!!

And lastly, here are a few more get well cards out of my mailbox. I'm healing nicely...the bandages are all off, and the bruising is finally gone, this one should scar very minimally, but I have a huge band of scar tissue under the skin. What I had from the last one, seemed to go away with time...so I'm hoping this will also,... there is really alot with this one....It will make getting my next mamogram interesting!!!
