Updates...

Hello, My Friends!

Summer is in full swing around here!  Kirstin graduates today from High School, so Summer is officially HERE!  :)

Since 2011 is almost half way over, I thought now would be a good time to do some updates....

Introducing...a Stephanie Barnard Logo!

Huh?!?  What?!?  Why?!?


Well, those questions will be answered soon, ;) but in the meantime...I thought I'd share the logo with you....

Kinda cute, huh?  ;)

On a more personal note, Kirstin not only is graduating today, she also had her Senior Prom (while I was in Puerto Rico {pout!})

Here are some pictures to share...



And we don't want to leave Katie Pie out...so here's one of both girls....

This summer will be a busy one for our family.  The girls are going camping at the beach with my Mom for two weeks, Katie has cheer practice almost every day, Kirstin has already started classes at the local college (12 units this summer), and lots of travel.  But, alas, no vacations for me!

I'll be traveling to Chicago for CHA Summer, a Creating Keepsakes Convention in PA, and a Creating Keepsakes Convention in Nashville, TN. 

Well, I think that's it for updates.

Happy Stamping!

Hugs,
Stephanie

A {New} 30 Second Card Video

Hello, My Friends!

I've had a crazy night tonight....a brand new 2 liter of Diet Coke fell off the counter and literally sprayed my entire kitchen!  There was Diet Coke everywhere!  So much so, that Cookie started licking it up!  {She's not going to sleep tonight with all that caffeine!}

Imagine trying to clean up that much soda!  As I was cleaning up the MESS....I hit my forehead {hard} on the wood table.  Ouch!  I was laughing so hard, I almost started crying. 

Anyway, here's the newest episode of a 30 Second Card {in 5 Minutes!}  Enjoy!  ;)

HOME!

Hello My Friends!


I'm home from Puerto Rico!  I was teaching for Sizzix at this event...


I got to meet a few Club Members, too!  Here's a picture of Rose Marie and I.  She signed up for our Club recently!  :)


This trip was a QUICK one!  I left at midnight Thursday, got there at 5pm local time on Friday, taught all day Saturday and Sunday, and flew home on Monday morning!  Whew!  And yes, the class I taught did have The Stamps of Life Stamps on it!  ;)

Speaking of home, here's an adorable card I found in our gallery by Lauren in Atlanta...

scream4icecream Eye Candy Video

Hello, My Friends!

I have a great video to share with you today.  Our Design Team has created some incredible projects using scream4icecream, cone2dish, letters2color, and all4stars

This one is one of my favorites...it's by Emily....


In her words...

For this card I used scream4icecream ( the scoop), and cone2dish (the sundae glass and the cherry). I colored the glass with copic markers and then pieced the scoop on top with patterned paper from Memory Box Pixie collection. I stamped the cherry and then added some clear PK Glitz glitter to the cherry. The inside sentiment is from the cone2dish set and says, "Everyday Is A Sundae!"

We love it, Emily!

Hugs!

Happy Birthday to Katie!

Hello, My Friends!

We are home safe and sound from TX!  We had a wonderful time at the Great American Scrapbook Convention in Arlington.  :)  And yes, I did get to eat at the Baked Potato Bar!  YUMMY!!!

Today, my youngest daughter, Katie turned 14.  Wowsers!  So, Katie, I just want you to know, I love you so very much!  You rock!  AND....you are amazing on the cash register/credit card machine at our shows!  ;) I am so very blessed to be your Mommy.


I was cruising the Gallery today for our new stamp set, kids2love and found this adorable card by Kimberly from Florida.



It's a perfect card to share with you today, since it's Katie's birthday....and, she just made Varsity Cheer at her future high school!  ;)  Go, Katie, Go Katie!  :)


Kimberly, thanks for sharing your card with us using the kids2love stamp set!  Email me if you would like a special blinkie to add to your blog!  :)
