For today a quick post of the jobs that we at Mirror Image Decals and Signs have done
The first one is a etched glass vinyl decals
Renée designed the lay out I love it. She used the O in Fusion and placed them randomly in the area!! Renee and Kayla installed this last Friday looks fabulous uh
The second & third photo is of a truck we did - NOTE logo was not designed by us!!! Sigh. We just cut the decals and we assembled them and then we installed them.
The fourth photo I was suppose to share with Renée's birthday wishes but I never did get to put it on my blog. Anyways I just love this photo of Rex and Renée too sweet!!!
The last photo was taken when Margot was here with her kiddlets first week of July!

on this very quiet Thursday morning I get to try to catch up on all sorts of thank you cards that I want to make

so many people I want to send thank you cards to for blessing my life

I also have a special birthday card to send to my very dear friend

Tammy - sadly that card and package will be a tad late

sorry Tammy

sorry about not posting yesterday

I have had a very disupted week

but I am so on the up swing now

the only thing that could make it that much better would be for the boys to go back to work 

so work angels - start working some magic we need them boys back out on them mulchers he he

I did get my yoga class in yesterday morning oh my ever mentioned to you how much I love my yoga classes??

then I drove Margot(that sweet soul made me a delicious supper on Tuesday night so very very amazing she is ) to the airport

came back to work and then we had a big storm so we had to shut things down in the office early

as we have had so many electrical storms and that has been the issues with the phones and internet being down in the office

so everything got shut down and Kayla and I made yhummy supper together

all right onto why you are suppose to be here sorry I know I have a bad habbit of blah blah blah he he

so on July 14th it was my Renee's 19th birthday

I made her a card that I never shared with you 

I just been a tad busy he he no really I have lol

so I used fun new products and stamp set from the STAMPIN UP HOLIDAY MINI

You will be able to order from great new mini on August 1st how exciting

the set I chose to use for Renee's card was

AFFECTION COLLECTION

CARDSTOCK USED:

Basic Black

Whisper White

and Melon Mambo

I used the new embossing folder called

LACY BROCADE

and new ribbon called

STRIPED SATIN RIBBON 

it is basic black and basic gray

ready to see

sorry I did have the steps by steps but some how my card on my camera is not working

this is the camera that I need to replace goodness it's time to retire this camera sad sigh

so I have had to retake photos with my phone

and Had to Icloud transfer over 1000 photos

so this has taken a tad longer then first thought

little details that I put on Renee's card

I drew lines with the new fabulous 

STAMPIN DAZZLE MARKER

This is the silver one here that I used!

my baby girls birthday card

I know I am sharing this over TWO WEEKS LATE

Stampin up last day convention 2012

Good morning to you all
So I am at the Minneapolis airport right now waiting on my connecting flight home
Whow it's been a week I tell you
My friends Lee and Sandi have been the recipient of so many wonderful awards
Let say this
I am Soooo proud of them
Lee received an amazing award yesterday but I can't share that yet cause I think it should come from her blog before I post it!!!
Let me say this I am so honored to be her friend sigh!!!
It was sad to say good bye to my friends but I look forward to our next get together real soon!!!
Soooooo you ask about BLOG candy right??
I have a photo with a HINT to the blog candy
Everything In the photo is what we received as a convention attendee oh yes see that's why you Wanta be a demonstrator!!!!
I know it lol
Anyway there is one item in these treasures that will be yours if you are the lucky blog candy winner
I also have a special gift from momento mall
But I was not able to photograph that cause I was in a hurry last night to pack as I had to be in a taxi by 3:30am!!!
My second photo is of Lee and Susan at our favorite italian restaurant in Salt Lake City
The third and fourth photo of our a nice dinner at Christopher's don't them raviolis look scrumptious??
It was so yhummmy not mention the great time we spent with fellow demonstrators
The last photo is a the new dies that will be available to you in August 1st with the champaign glitter paper
Ouh love the glitter paper it will make amazing snow flakes and other Christmas cards
Oh yes Christmas card buffet event is coming - hope you will attend it will be on Sunday August 19th starting at 1:00pm
The cards will range between $2.00 to $5.00 each. You will get to select the cards you want to make
Should be so much fun!!
Everyone is welcome I just need you to email me if you are attending
stampinstressaway@me.com
Hope you will be able to come stamp and get a head start on them Christmas cards!!!
So that will do for me for today
However i do want to say that i will be unable to post tomorrow
You See on Tuesday (first day I arrived in salt lake city) I received a phone call that Rex's sister's son was a fatal car accident
Very very sad. Jason was only 29 years old
So very tragic for the Sluchinski and the Stout family - loosing a child is the hardest thing I personally think and my heart goes out to Randy and Kathy as well as to Chad his older brother and Leanna his younger sister. Jason also leaves behind a little girl - tear!
Therefore I will be attending Jason's service tomorrow with my family.
Hope you all understand and look forward to reading your comments so you can have a chance to win BLOG candy!!!
The draw will be on Saturday July 28th, 2012!
I wish you all an amazing Sunday
