My name is Diana Gibbs, and I am a Wife, a Mum, and a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.
I have been a Demonstrator for 13 years and I live in Arizona with Jeff my Hubby of 27 years, our 23 year old son Eric, our 4 year old Yorkie-Poo Toby, and our five chickens, Stella, Alice, Clara, Gertie and Fiji.
I am a 2009 Stampin' Up! Artisan Award winner, #40 Demonstrator of the Year for 2010 and #30 for 2011. I am having so much fun, I love my job!
To tweak, tweaker, tweaking, tweakster", any of those words used on my Blog means to like someones card, scrapbook page, project, whatever and you copy it but you change it up a bit.
"The Gnomes"
This is actually what I was calling "the girls" our chickens before we got them, when Jeff was building their coop.
The girls are called Alice, Gertie, Clara, Stella & Fiji
"My Precious"
This is my Droid phone...I love it! Updated, now I have a Samsung Galaxy...no pet name yet...ha!
"FLICKs"
First Level Incentive Card Kit(s) - these are the card kits my girls can earn based on their monthly sales.
"BFF Tracy"
Everyone knows that BFF stands for Best Friends Forever. Tracy lives in Pennsylvania and we met through Stampin' Up! and we talk and laugh every day, and we both wish each other lived next door. We only see each other a few times a year. Everyone should be so lucky to have a BFF like my Tracy!

Left over class packets of cardstock all ready to make cards.

Something I don't know the real name of, or maybe I just can't spell it right

Make sure you get the original 2007 British version.
So many funny moments, I love swearing in a British accent. Oh and Uncle Alfie on the crapper..."it's touch and go" and "you missed a bit" - Classic
"Barefoot in the Park"
This is so funny, Jane Fonda's Mum and all the stairs is hilarious and when she gets drunk....ya gotta watch it!
"The Butterfly Effect"
Make sure to watch BOTH versions, the theatrical and the director's cut...let me know which one YOU liked best!
"Mr. Holland's Opus"
I love Richard Dreyfuss, since Jaws and this movie is so uplifting and beautiful.
"Serendipity"
I think this is one of my favorite movies of all time...well at least the one with NO vampires in it...ha! I believe in fate...do you?
Today we are in Juneau, this is where we have booked a Salmon Bake Excursion, we are looking forward to it, we did it 7 years ago but it was part of a whale watching and glacier thing and we had like 15 minutes to eat once we got to the bake place, so we know better now.
Today's card shows one of the ones from the shoebox swap at Rhonda's (hey girlie) meeting. This was Kitty's card. Love that daisy.
If you place a $50.00 order through my on-line store May 20-28 I will send you a thank you card made with the stamp set we will be getting on cruise. Sound like fun? Thanks so much, I really appreciate it.
Have an awesome Monday and thanks for stopping in!
Dawn asked me a while ago if I would show how I make the Daisy flowers, and I am more then happy to show you how I do them, cause I love, love, love these flowers, I think we use them almost in every class..ha!
I stuck Toby in the house while I did the video and of course you can hear him, he would have been quieter if I had left him in the studio...ha!
Near the end when I am talking about the Latte buttons the sound is odd, sorry about that. And I don't know what is up with my Michelin man wrist, it looks weird, next time I am putting my bracelets on...ha!
Here ya go:
Here are a couple older posts showing the daisies used in different ways:
It is endless, cause we have so many different color papers, and buttons and just use your imagination.

Make sure you check back tomorrow, I will show you the finished bird houses that Jeff and our neighbor Jim made as a friendly little competition, and let you decide which one you like best. The ladies at class already voted but just for heck sake I am gonna let you tell me too. I won't tell you whose is whose for a day or so.
Well I am off to bed, Rhonda had a fun shoebox meeting tonight, we met at Keegans in Awhatukee, I met at MAMMa's and then she drove the rest of the way. We all ate first then we moved back against the back wall where the lighting was better and we stamped. We have to do that again, it was so much fun, and Keegans has the best steak.

"Thanks for the video. Have been wanting to do this and once again...you have inspired me. :)" - Gladys
"Thank you so very much for continuing to show samples and "how to" instructions and videos of your fantastic and creative projects. I can't even express how much it is appreciated." - Kim
"You totally crack me up girl. I love you, and we have never met." - Wilma
"If I wasn't a demonstrator already, I'd be joining your team. :) Thanks for always sharing your ideas and excitement for SU! My upline quit several years ago, so I've been blessed to have sideline sisters that help and encourage. Convention was a blast... like a bunch of crazy family getting together for a reunion! now I'm going to "go, go, go"... LOL" - Shelly
"I highly recommend this tutorial. I have dabbled with water coloring and didn't think I was too bad at it, but this tutorial has a number of helpful tips in it that immediately helped improve my technique. Even with the low price, I was apprehensive to purchase it because I felt a video was needed. You have managed to do it with a very reasonably-priced PDF. I am sorry I didn't purchase it sooner." - Dorrie
