A Worthy Cause...

My friend, Jeanne...in the pink, hosted a benefit yesterday in her home for the Aubrey Rose Foundation. The Aubrey Rose Foundation helps families with children who are facing serious or life-threatening illness. The Foundation was named for a special and happy little girl, Aubrey Rose, who battled each day for survival and unfortunately lost that battle just shy of her 3rd birthday. In her memory the Foundation works to alleviate some of the hardship that far too many families face in the wake of their child's illness. 

Along with a few others we came together to support this worthy cause for a fun-filled afternoon with friends. Thank you Jeanne for opening up your home and our hearts. 

Lillia Rose and Thirty one participated in this event. 

It was a good day to start your Christmas shopping!

I shared amuse studio with some new faces and some old. 

Regina could not tear herself away from the Lia Sophia jewelry display....let her birthday celebrations continue!

Thanks to Pampered Chef for sharing in this event too. I am sorry to say I did not get a picture of her wonderful display of products. We had a small crowd but we all enjoyed ourselves. I know the Aubrey Rose Foundation is thankful for our contributions to the Dance For The Heart Of It silent auction.

Super Sunday Shopping Sensation!

• Come on out to jumpstart your Christmas shopping; buy a gift for your best friend, mom, sister or daughter; or get a little something for yourself! All hostess benefits will be donated for the Aubrey Rose Foundation to use at their Dance For The Heart Of It silent auction. The Aubrey Rose Foundation helps families with children who are facing serious or life-threatening illness. They have covered the cost of needed surgeries, chemo treatments, handicapped vans, transportation and overnight accommodations for families just to name a few of their good works. They also celebrate life with parties at local and Dayton area Ronald McDonald houses, creating special memories for the families there. The foundation was named for a special and happy little girl who battled each day for survival. She endured several surgeries including a heart and double lung transplant. Aubrey Rose was progressing when she died suddenly just shy of her third birthday. In her memory, the foundation works to alleviate some of the hardship that far too many families face in the wake of a child’s illness. Please help Julia and I secure some awesome gifts for this worthwhile cause! For more information on the Aubrey Rose Foundation, please visit aubreyrose.org

birthday wishes

I thought I would share with you some of the homemade wishes my daughter received for her birthday. They are all beautiful works of art. Thanks everyone for making Alison's day even better!

thankful for you...

I made several of these cards using the thankful for you stamp set. 

I used kraft cardstock, french roast cardstock, twine, and squash ink. 

I love how simple they were to make.

it's becoming tradition...

Luke is a BIG Packers fan!!

It was 8 years ago Luke went to his first Packers/Bengals game...and yesterday, Luke and his dad went again to the Packers/Bengals game. It is becoming a tradition that they will hopefully continue in future years.

What a great father/son outing!

happy birthday!

I had fun making my daughter's birthday card. She is 24 today! She has a big year ahead of her...last few weeks of school, internship, graduation, wedding, and hopefully a job next year!

Happy Birthday Alison!

thanks so much

A simple thank you note made with the butterfly trio die set from amuse studio. 

sweet boquet

My boss received this sweet boquet the other day at work. 

It is the perfect fall center piece!

thanks so much

I am not sure if I ever shared these thank you notes I made using the haunted mansion background, but here they are. I love that background for more than Halloween. As you can see the thank you notes turned out beautiful!

happy halloween...

These are the perfect treat bags to give to your friends at Halloween. you can insert a gift card where the message is or you can fill the bag with candy treats...or if you really like your friend, you can do both. Thanks to my great upline, Melissa for this wonderful idea. 

ghosty treats!

This is one of the treats we made at the workshop held at my house on Sunday. I found these darling take out boxes at Michaels. They were a steal at 50 cents a package of 6! The little ghost is from the Happy Haunting set and matching die. I love how the orange cording adds just the right amount of color. Fill the box with your favorite treat!

Holiday Hoopla good times!

Preparations for my stamp club's holiday hoopla workshop. 

I love decorating the paper mats for each stamper...it is fun to go with a theme or amuse studio logos...this time I went with Boris and Bernice...so fun!

Spotlight board and holiday board display.

Our projects for the afternoon. 

I found these darling mini tissue boxes at Michaels for 50 cents...what a steal!

I also found matching take out boxes for our little ghost treats. 

LET THE FUN BEGIN!!!

(Regina's face is priceless)

Our stampers....

...hard at work with such determination!

Karen and Regina have their tissue box ready for their desk.

Thank you ladies for a very enjoyable afternoon. Good friends, good food, and the laughter is what makes our stamp club super FUN! 

We missed Shari and Colleen today, but they will join in the fun next time.

a new nail look!

My sister painted her daughter's fingernails for fun. She helped with the freshman orientation at her college and all the kids loved it! Very creative!

happy anniversary too soon...

This is my friend's anniversary card that my sister made for her. However, she was a month early...oh well Karen gets to admire its beauty for a whole month and more!

Beautiful card Shari!

(and happy anniversary Karen and Joe all month long!)

happy birthday

My sister Shari never ceases to amaze me...this was Joe's birthday card. 

The detail is just unbelievable. This one should be framed!

best wishes

This was a very yummy cake we had at my daughter's shower. It was made by a friend of mine who does a wonderful job...lemon cake went with the theme. 

keepsake frame

My sister-in-law, Monica, made this beautiful shadow box frame using Alison's shower invitation. She used colors to match the wedding colors...what a wonderful keepsake.

love...

My sister made this card for my daughter, her godchild, for her shower. I love how she used so many die cuts for this beautiful card. 

vendor show

Last night I joined in with a group of ladies to showcase small business' and to spread the word of amuse studio. We were in a model condo in my town and we had a great turnout. Met some new people and some great ladies who are passionate about their work!

My friend Marcheta and I shared booth space. It was fun to see all her beautiful Celebrating Home items. 

We had the office room in the condo so it was great for me to display more of amuse studio. 

Give me a call ladies to set up your workshop and get stamping!

happy birthday

My sister made this set of birthday cards using the reitred,  venetian cardstock. I love the beautiful flower she added to each card in the coordinating color.

Great cards Shari!
