Beautiful You #2

I was at my friend Rae's house and saw this project that she made with the Beautiful You stamp set. The frame is from a past Paper Pumpkin kit. I wanted to make one, but had already used my frame.
Then I thought that it would be a great idea for a Hen Party project so I went on a hunt for inexpensive white frames. Enter my funny story...

                                               Here it is along with another quick tip.


Lastly I am posting these pictures of other Beautiful You projects that I have found online.
I have not made any of these, but wanted you to be able to see them.

This first card has our lady waking on a beach...beautiful.
 The shadow she's waking on is also in the set.

 In this one  by masking the images, two ladies are able to walk on the beach together.

More masking allows us to pair our ladies well with many other stamp sets.

In this next one the same lady is strolling in front of a line of trees made with the

 Lovely As a Tree stamp set.

Next we are able to have her stroll down a street in the Mediterranean with the 

Mediterranean Moments stamp set.

In this last one I wanted to show you that this lady's hand is positioned
in such a way that you can allow her to take her pet for a little stroll along with her. You could add a handbag as well. just put your thinking hat on and you'll come in with more great ideas.

Well these posts should give you all some great ideas to spark your creativity with this wonderful stamp set. Get out your supplies and come up with some of your own ideas.
It would be great if you would share them with me. I'd love to see what you all come up with.

The stamp set is on page 141 of your 2017-2018 catalog.
It is #143004 in wood mounted for $39 or #143637 in clear mount for $28
If you decide to order online I would really appreciate it if you would include my Hostess Code for the month of July. That code is ZWN6HN4F.

I think I've got the hang of this thing now so watch for more videos to come.
I will soon be offering some kits for sale, so be watching for those as well.

Beautiful You

Here you have a parade of great ideas for things you can do with the Beautiful You stamp set from Stampin Up.

And don't miss the handy tip!

Tomorrow as promised, I will show another idea with this stamp set and tell n a funny story on myself.

PS...There will be another great tip included in that video.

Hot or Not!

Well ladies, I made it a goal to get these videos filmed and be posting them regularly here on the blog. It is till my intention, but I am still fighting with the videos. Last week I filmed a very nice one on the many different ways you can use the "Beautiful You" stamp set which also included at least one little tip. Try as I might however, I have not been able to get it onto the blog. I'm still working on it, but thought I'd at least post SOMETHING here.

I returned yesterday from an eventful church camping to Lookout Campground in Dog Valley. I followed my GPS, got lost, and into an area where I was seriously off-roading. It damaged my car. I took it in to be checked out today and it is going to be $350 to fix it. OUCH!! So it turned out to be a pretty expensive little camping trip. It was saved in my eyes by being able to spend the entire weekend with this little guy.

I took this picture of him as everyone was up and loading everything on the last day.
Nothing roused him. When all of us had everything packed and ready to go, I had to wake him up to get him into the car. He was worn out, but he sure had a lot of fun!


Now I'm home and it is hot, but here I was with a bag full of potatoes that needed to be cooked.
Went to my faithful Pinterest and found a recipe. Here's the crazy part...

They were very yummy, but were cooked in the oven set at 500 degrees!

What was I thinking?

Anyway, my potatoes are delicious and I didn't waste them.

Guess what I'll be snacking on for the next few days.

Slow or Picky?

Hi All...
I've worked all day making samples for the next video I want to film. I thought I'd be filming it today, but I'm done in and I have two more cards to make. :(
I've  decided that I am either way too slow or way to picky....maybe both.
Anyway, I hope to post a video tomorrow showing lots of different ways to use the Beautiful You stamp set.
Here's the teaser....more tomorrow.

I'm Stuck :(

Hi All
Just thought I'd check in.
I have more video tips to film as promised, but at this time I'm stuck in the hospital..
Couple of days ago my ankle was kind of bugging me and by evening it was painful and swollen.
It was my intention to go to urgent care, but they were all closed, so my only option was to go to the emergency room. It was super busy and filled with people. I was there waiting for hours before I even got into a room. I was hoping at the time that I had just twisted it a bit and maybe they could wrap it up with an ace bandage and send me on my way. I just didn't want it to be broken and have to wear a boot.
It turned out way differently than expected.
At it turns out, it is cellulitis, an infection in the soft tissue, and could have even ended requiring surgery. They did an MRI to rule out an abscess and they aspirated it and are still running tests on it. I ended up being admitted to the hospital yesterday very early in the morning. After the aspiration the pain got better and the swelling went away so I was sure that they would be sending me home this morning, but when the doctor came in, he said they were waiting on the results from one of the tests and that if that's okay they will probably send me home tomorrow.

Good Grief!
A sore ankle puts me in the hospital for nearlyfour days?
Oh well, maybe the Lord decided that I needed to take a little break. :)

AT LAST!!!!

I am so very relieved and excited that I had to write a blog post about something that none of you will care about. Ever since opening my website...(MyRedHen.stampinup.net), I have been trying to get everything set up with the new addresses. I have had one problem after another and about 15 minutes ago, I finally figured out how to get it the way I want it. I'm over the moon happy!

Not only that...I spent a few hours yesterday getting instruction on how to get my videos filmed correctly and how to add them to my blog where they can actually be seen. I'm exhausted tonight, but tomorrow I'm going to give it a try. I plan to film videos with projects you can all try and to pass on some helpful tips whenever I find them. I already have some planned, so be on the lookout.

I'm going to enter this technical generation one way or another!

Many of you who have followed me for a while now have reached me with the email address snipnscrap@yahoo.com or even theredspeckledhen@yahoo.com.

bot of those will still get to me, so you don't need to change unless you want to.

The new email address going forward is TheRedHen@yahoo.com.

The blog address is now MyRedHen.blogspot.com and I can be found on Blogger, on Pinterest, and on Facebook under My Red Hen. I wanted to simplify the info so that everything didn't have to be spelled out in order to be understood.

My new website which is now open is MyRedHen.stampinup.net.

So come and join this ol' Red Hen and let's have some creative fun!
