I know I've not been here as regularly as I'd like. I do apologiz. I am laying a new posting plan for the new year.
For now, I'm just enjoying Bob being home and the holidays. He will be gone for Christmas and New Years so the next two weeks are all about him.
I did get two cards made from the kit sent to us this month by Sue Brandon
Sue sent us the following:
Stampin' Up! items:
DSP - Snowflake Splendor, Blue adhesive backed Gems, Highland Heather & Balmy Blue Snowflake dies, Pool Party Sheer Ribbon
From her Stash:
snowflake brade, silver & blue glitter die cuts
The first card I made is a shaker card. I saw the opening of the mat as well as the snowflake die cuts and knew that's what I wanted to do.
I let the large blue glitter snowflake be the focus of my second card
I stamped a Christmas greeting on the inside of each card.
I'm trying to find a balance between working the Stampin' Up! and playing with my own toys. Please be patient while I lay the foundation for an awesome 2022!
Wow... it's been a minute. I've been really busy behind the scenes doing lots of stuff you'll be seeing soon.
For starters, I'm offering my first class with Stampin' Up! products. I've done videos using their projects in the past but this is the first time I've offered something up as an exclusive class!
The only way you'll get this glass is when you purchase the 6 main ingredients for the project. I've also listed optional items below.

sheets, I’d order 2 pkgs to make sure you have enough.
Jolly Felt - #156291 - $9.00 (1
6x12 sheet of each color)
Red & Green Foil - #153510 -
$10.00 (2 of each color)

FROM AMAZON:
Keep in mind - if you order sticker packs, you're going to need several to get all of the numbers you need to fill 1-25 or 1-31. Truly using a cricut, buying the Playful Alphabet or writing your own will be a lot less expensive and you can use them for more than this project.
Finally back to creating. I'm hoping to have regular posts up this weekend but with Bob home a few more days and we're trying to get stuff caught up before he leaves, May not be til Tuesday next week.
In the mean time, I was the hostess for this month's CardChicks at Splitcoast. Here's my card:
Not sure why his clothes have a yellow/ celery cast. I actually used Old Olive greens in the Stampin' Blends.
I wanted to spread our wings a little so used Graphic 45 Midnight Tales for my starting point. Since not everyone is in to Halloween, I added the garden gnome to the kit and in place of ribbon, I used a strip of the Be Dazzling paper.
I also suggested they could substitute the gnome for 1 other image of their choice from their stash.
I have things on the editorial calendar for the rest of the month just not sure I'll get them here before next week. I still want to do a Scrapbook Saturday and a Sunday Sympathy... just a matter of Life interruptus and time.
I'm back! Running late as usual. Leisurely coffee and cards at the table with Bob is always the best start to my day.
My desk this morning, waiting for things to happen.
The book laying on the laptop is one I reviewed this morning. A Star That Twinkled But Never Got To Shine. If you love true classic country music such as Jimmy Rogers, then you will love this creative non-fiction about the author, Sharon Kizziah-Holmes' dad. Great story Every incident in the book happened. You can read my review HERE as well as find purchase links and video of her dad and the West Coast Ramblers.
You'll also see the cricut as well as some tags I was cutting for the Pink Ribbon journals and shop additions. $Tree finally has the vintage lace ribbon spools coming back in so I picked up several. The rest is all bits and pieces of what needs to be worked on, including the list of recipients for a Stampin' Up! Christmas card swap hosted by my SIL & down-line, Rhonda.
Conference went well. Great to see folks you only see once a year. After 25 years, this conference becomes more like a family reunion. Seeing familiar faces, meeting new folks and remembering those who are no longer with us.
That's it for my desk (and story) this week. Who's Miss Julia and why am I here? When you are done visiting me in the Ozarks, please hop on over to Stamping Ground for all the details. Miss Julia has a long list of other studios you can peek into. No standing on an up-turned milk pail to look in the window. We open the doors wide and welcome you. Please leave your number and you'll be among the first on my list.
Was a crazy couple of weeks getting ready for the conference, speaking at said conference then taking a few extra days before coming back to crazy town.
This is Bob's last week home and we are trying to cram in vehicle repairs, food stock up and general maintenance around here before he heads back out a week from tomorrow.
Creative update!
I've been working on the Pink Ribbon journal and kits for the Etsy shop. Slower progress than I wanted but at least I'm getting there. Depending on time with Bob, I hope to have something in the shop by the end of the week.
I'm also still working on Stampin' Up!. I'll be taking part in Virtual On-Stage next month and hoping to build a presence from there. I just can't let go of Stampin' Up! I love the products and their products allow me to bring quality merchandise into my shop.
For now, Bob is waiting on me to have coffee with him before we start our day.
I hope to have something tomorrow.... time allowing today. If you've ever had to take a vehicle to the garage for repairs, you can see where my time line is for today.
A bit of a disaster with planner stuff, mail I picked up yesterday and progress on my presentation. Busy morning here as I finalize my presentation for the conference and get the handouts printed and stapled. Then there's packing to be done, a dining room table to find....
Bob is on his way home. Lots of positive energy, please, as he is driving into/ through rain most of the trip.
Thank you for the visits last week. I got 'round to a few of you on Sunday. Will be the same this week, I expect.
I will say I made 19 cards on World Cardmaking Day as well as a video tutorial. You can check those out by following the links:

I took one sheet (I thought) of each of the patterns in Nature's Harvest DSP and cut them into 6x6. Then I used 1 of each of the 6x6 and made two cards from each.
When I pulled a set out to photograph for this blog post I realized I'd missed a couple of sheets:
I cut each piece into a 4" x 5-1/4" mat. That gave me 1 mat, 1 strip and then a narrower strip to use on the inside. This gave me two cards from each 6x6.
Before I show you today's, here is the alternate card to the one I showed you yesterday:
Here's the first two showing how I used the pieces.
This one used the 4 x 5-1/4: mat
This one used the 2" x 5-1/4" strip but I trimmed it down to fit the black mat.
Here's a couple more:
I used the Stitched So Sweetly dies and a stamped/ die cut image from the Nature's Harvest Bundle.
I didn't care for the recommended Cajun Craze, choosing to use Calypso Coral. I really liked using the black matting. I've learned how well that contrast works from Kristi Marcotte.
Final two:
I will have a quick shot of my desk tomorrow after I've finished plowing through projects that need done before I leave on Thursday.
As I'm writing this on Sunday night, I'm not sure what I'll get done for the time I'm gone. Bob is keeping the house safe while I'm gone for 7-10 days.
I'm coming in so late that my first thought was to just skip the Sympathy Sunday but I'm trying to get back on track and no better time than the present.
I'll explain more about what I did for World Cardmaking Day tomorrow but this is one of the cards I made. A junk journal friend of mine's stepdad passed away a couple of weeks ago and she has been in FL until just a day or two ago. I wanted to get a card popped in the mail to her.
I am supposed to get a challenge card for my upline on Wednesday. I think I'm going to get it done and will post next Tuesday (10/12). So much to do before I leave on Thursday. Finalizing my conference presentation and finding the house before Bob gets home Wed. evening are kind of my priorities at the moment.
I hope you'll stop back by tomorrow to see a few more of the World Cardmaking Day creations. I'll be showing them Tomorrow and on Wednesday for What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday.
On future Saturdays I will be posting scrapbook layouts, ideas for Scrapbook Saturday. However, since today is World Cardmaking Day and we are celebrating all around the world, I wanted to share my cardmaking video with you.
I was inspired by a video from Jennifer McGuire.
I've always wanted to make a flip card but thought I needed a special die. Not true! If you have layering circle dies from Stampin' Up! you can make this card, too.
Here's the VIDEO LINK to how I made this card - complete with supply list and measurements.
I apologize for not getting round last week. Trying to make up for what I didn't do the week before then celebrated turning 60 all weekend (birthday was Sunday but I got an early start hehe - shopping!)
This was my birthday present from Bob:
I've already had it out of the box and used it. I played with it on my birthday after I got home from a local festival where I treated myself to an amethyst crystal pendant.
My desk as I left it last night.
I spent all of yesterday redating my older Slim Classic planners for October. I use them for my editorial calendar. I got most of the posts written for my author blog - 8 of them then brought past Paper Pumpkin kits in from the warehouse. I have the Canned Paper Pumpkin Collab on YouTube on Thursday so I need to get at least one of the 4 kits broken down and into something by then.
I'm also hosting a World Cardmaking Day hop on YouTube on Saturday. I'll post stuff to my blog and FB page as well.
Amongst all of this I need to finish my handouts for the conference. I'll leave here on the 7th and probably won't be home until the 14th or so. With that in mind, I've been trying to get ahead on blog posts as well.
Never a dull moment. lol
I'll do my best to get 'round on Sunday after things calm down.

Okay... too many questions for a Wednesday. Time to show off.
First off, the sofa has been clean for a whole month! I've also spent a lot of time on said sofa with the dog.
My work table has been seeing activity. I sometimes get comfy on the sofa to work, depending on what I need to get done.
I have been working already this morning... on the prep for a video I should have recorded yesterday. Just didn't feel well and didn't accomplish much of anything. Today is better.
The sheets on the back-side are print-outs for the financial planning video. Yu can just make out the mini binder clips I used to put the folder of the masters in order by subject.
I'll be creating more tomorrow and Friday as I have 3 videos due between Friday and the 30th.
Now that I'm back to actually promoting Stampin' Up! again rather than just a hobby dem, I have stuff to get done on that end. I've opened a group on Facebook - KellysCreativeDreamers.
One of the big projects right now is World Cardmaking Day is coming up on October 2nd. Are any of you planning to play that day? I have been putting together a YouTube hop of SU dems so that should be fun and help promote all of our channels

I have been so horrid about getting to my blogs lately. For the last 2 months I've not really wanted to do much of anything except be a lump on the newly cleared sofa. HoneyB seems to enjoy it, too, as that is where he sleeps most days. He is even pretty good about sharing.
I didn't do the Card Chicks card for August. I was deep in 'find the studio' mode before company arrived. The sofa has stayed cleaned off for an entire month!!! That in itself is progress LOL
I do have the September Card Chicks card - and on time! Yeah... it happens lol
My friend, Maggie (Texas), was our hostess this month and she sent a lovely kit of muted shades. She is also an avid butterfly hatcher (She hatches hundreds of monarchs ever year from her back yard habitat) so she had to include flowers and butterflies in her kit.
I've made one card from the kit so far:
The Front
Inside
Maggie sent DSP from Stampin' Up! Bloom & Bliss as well as Beau Chateau (the chicken wire print)
Sweet Sugar plum (retired color) paired well with the Bloom & Bliss so I used that for my base and the mats both outside and in.
I used Basic Black, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo and Rich Razzleberry
I am hosting next month. I'm pretty sure Graphic 45 DSP will be paired with SU DSP just for something diffrent to play with.
I've been buying an abundance of Graphic 45 lately at the SpectrumArtCreations sales. We gather on YouTube Live every Saturday beginning at 2 p.m. EST. Come join the fun! We play games as well as shop. You might want to put dinner in the crock pot because Madi and Team are live until midnight EST. Make sure to sign up for their weekly newsletter to be in on a special Secret Word game! Only newsletter subscribers are eligible to play!
I'm getting back up to speed and a regular schedule again.
Sorry I'm coming in the door late, and I may not get to some of you until next Tuesday after Bob leaves but I'll do my best.
I've been absent just a few weeks but I've been busy trying to find the studio. While I'm not finished yet, I've made great strides as you'll see from the photos.
Let's start with the work table. You may recall this is 4' x 8 ft and where I work on large projects. When Bob is home, this also serves as my computer space:
I've been trying to get September blog posts written. So far today, I've managed this one and filming 2 videos... which leads to this:
This area isn't completely finished but I can work on a project and film at the same time. We also bought me a new office chair that fits the height of the table. More on this area at a later date but it's almost finished!
Talk about finished... this is what the sofa looked like when I started this whole process. The stamp sets still need to be cataloged. They're in a tub at the moment. Cataloging is my project for next week.
I had to move the stamp sets to a tub temporarily as my BIL/ SIL came for a 4-day visit and needed a place to sleep. Now that it's cleared, Spirit kitty has decided it's a good place to nap:

Somehow, Wednesday has rolled around again and that means we're peeking in on desks all around the world to see what everyone is up to.
The work desk is still horrible but the filming desk is useable on a repetitive basis. This morning, I'm working on the CEO Strategy Planner for Creative Entreprenuers to put my 3 businesses in order. You see, Bob and I have determined I'm 'diversified'. LOL or may be just nuts!
Just prior to the trip to OK last weekend I made the decision to come out of Hobby Dem status for Stampin' Up! and see if I couldn't get a cash flow... at least enough to help off-set the items I love to buy. LOL
I also have the Etsy store and the Author business.... neither of which are very productive at the moment. I'm hoping by putting a plan on paper and into action, that will change. I know if I have items in my shop, they will sell - a 'Build it and they will come' sort of process.
I'm going to put the remaing of the 3rd quarter business strategy into a video for my KellysCreativeDreams channel today then I'll be writing blog posts the rest of the day. Pretty much all my hip wants to allow (except pain eds and sleeping) since yesterday mid-day. Grrr...

I've decided since I'm still an active Stampin' Up! demonstrator I'm coming out of the corner to build my business back up. With Bob due to retire in less than two years, I really need to work my diversified platforms:
* Stampin' Up!
* Etsy shop
* Book writing.
A lot of work ahead for sure but once I get all the cars connected, the train should run rather smoothly. There will always be disjoints in the track but I'm determined.
So here we go!
You'll notice new additions to the sidebar over the next few days. I'm dedicating 2-3 hours per day on Stampin' Up! The biggest news is the launch TODAY of the new 'Holiday' mini catalog as well as our first ever 'Holiday' Sale - A - Bration catalog.
The Mini will run from today (August 3, 2021) through January 3, 2022. Keep in mind corporate is closed over the Christmas and New Years holidays so shopping before the end of December is a much better time-line. Also, things do sell out quickly in the first few weeks. So plan now to join me in the Holiday Crafting Spirit!
The Sale A Bration runs through September 30th.
If you're not familiar with SAB, that is a small catalog of FREE items you may choose - 1 for every $50 in product from the mini catalog, the Annual Catalog and the clearance rack.
I placed a pre-order last week. You can see that video below:
Because there only certain items we can put on our pre-order, I had to wait and place my big order this morning when the catalogs went viral to the world. I probably spent too much but I wanted to have products on hand to share with you.
I have also learned from past experience that SAB items especially sell out or go on back order FAST and I've lost out on some things I've wanted. I didn't want to take that chance this time around. Please note that three items in the SAB are While Supplies Last:
156629 - Be Dazzling 6x6 DSP
156600 Sheep Dies
156618 Summer Shadows Dies
The Sheep Dies coordinate with 156691 - Counting Sheep stamp set
And the Summer Shadows Dies coordinate with 155783 -Shaded Summer on pag 75 of the Annual Cat.
I recommend placing your order within the next day or two if you want either of those items.
To help you out, I'm offering a HOSTESS CODE through Thursday August 12th.
Place a minimum $50 order with me by that date and receive:
Remember - if your order is going to be $150 or more place an individual order WITHOUT the hostess code. At the $150+ mark you are entitled to hostess rewards. If you need my assistance, email me - KellyH@artlover.com or DM me on IG on KellysCreativeDreams
As you'll see in the video, one of the first things I ordered was the Penguin Place bundle as well as the Penquin Playmates DSP. This little guy said hello from the very first sheet I looked at and have to give him his own card:
I will be featuring the Penguin Place and Penguin Playmates all week on my YouTube Channel.
Thursday August 5th - Case on the 5th - case someone else's card
Tuesday August 10th - 10 on the 10th - 10 Chrsitmas cards
I hope you'll come play along!
If you've ever thought about joining Stampin' Up! - even if just for the discount, now is the Perfect Time! You can join my Creative Dreamers team (if you're in the US)
Your kit includes:
$125 in the Product OF YOUR CHOICE - choose what you want to work with
1 FREE Bundle from the Holiday Mini - OF YOUR CHOICE

Thanks for allowing me this indulgence today. I'm off to write my Business Goals for the Holiday season!
Today, I'm probably running around like a chicken with its head chopped off... that's why I scheduled this yesterday.
We have a 4-day visit coming up with Bob's family... primarily his Mom. They live in south Texas. Mom said this may be their last trip north as the ride has been really hard on her so we're making the most of the weekend.
On a brighter note, it's time for the monthly Card Chicks. SU demonstrator, Vikki Jo was our hostess this month. She sent along a lovely kit with two stamped images.
The image is from Anita's Back Street Inc. stamped with Tuxedo Memento Black ink on Whisper White cardstock. The background paper is from the Flower & Field designer series paper from Stampin' Up! Vikki Jo sent lots of embellishments, including brads from Close to My Heart. I used all the yellow ones as flower centers. I colored the image with SU Stampin' Blends, matted on SU Misty Moonlight and the whole thing on a Pool Party card base.
I think this turned out pretty considering I'd told Suzy on Tuesday I couldn't find the kit and that my card woul dbe late! LOL The card was uploaded to our SCS group on time yesterday.
Beautiful 63* in the Ozarks this morning. I somehow don't think the low temp will last. I'll go out and pick the last of the blackberries this morning before I start on the next project... which you'll see on my very sparse desk this morning:
I only have three packages of patterned paper left to catalog then I can start clearing off the shelf spot for them. The card project in the foreground is for my Card Chicks group. I have the image colored in, just need to figure out a card layout and get it put together & uploaded to the group this morning.
Last week, several of you commented on the number of tomato plants I have. First off, I have to preface by saying I never expected ALL of my seed trays to germinate. That NEVER happens. But I do can a lot of what I grow. I've been canning since I was 12.
Here's the tomato row I mentioned last week. There are 32 tomato plants:
The 8' zucchini row:
The 105 Roma plants that still need a home. I'm not going to plant them all... only the ones that are already setting fruit. Then I'm going to try some of them for an extended growth in the greenhouse as long as weather permits:
If all sets well, I'll be canning lots of tomato sauce this fall.
And finally, one of 20 green pepper plants with a tiny green pepper:
Bob and I will kick in early Tuesday morning getting the beds finished and things planted. While it may seem late, keep in mind these plants are already setting fruit... they just need a bit more room to flourish.
I'm not sure how much I"ll get around this week. We have a visit with Bob's mom and her husband this weekend. Mom said this may be the last trip they make up from Texas. The ride has been hard on them, so we are making the most of the weekend.

I can't believe it's Wednesday already. Where has the week gone? As you can see, we are at week #632. That's 632 consecutive weeks that we've been snooping in spaces of other craft friends.
I have 3 pictures for you today.
First... a reminder of what my Filming areal looked like before:
I've totally emptied out the filming table and the shelf to the right which is below a large sliding window.
Initially, in the design, that shelf was to be my working area so I could look out the window. The book case area (which you'll see better in future posts) was my cutting station where I had my vagabond, cricut, sizzix platform... all set up and ready at a thought's notice. Sadly, the number of stamps I have had me rethinking that design.
Next:
The filming table completely empty, and you can see the photo boxes with my stamps on the bookshelf behind. The shelf below the window to the right isn't completely cleared but will be by later this afternoon (crossing fingers)
I used the filming table yesterday to break down eight Project Life kits and file them in their cabinet (I'll show that in a video/ photos soon). I've since taken the table down so I can vacuum that area really well. Then the table will go back into place and I'll start breaking down all of my PaperCrafting & Cardmaking magazines. They are all stored in those six magazine holders on the second shelf. You can see them on the far right shelf in this picture:
I plan to use that shelf for all of the Stamperia and specialty papers I've been ordering from Madi & SpectrumArtCreations.
The shelf to the right of that is going to hold CURRENT SU papers and hopefully CURRENT stamp sets. (Two of those shelves are removeable so I can make them deepr to be the same size as the magazine shelf.) We'll see how many of the latter I have. Probably more than I think or will fit on that shelf. lol.
Bob comes home tomorrow and I've already warned him I'm no where near done. I worked 2 hours in the early morning of Monday planting 32 of the tomato plants. I was out of commission the rest of the day on Monday and most of Tuesday. Ugh. Gorgeous out there this morning and there's more I could do but I know if I go out there then nothing will get done in here. I'm hoping BOb will be up to doing some of the heavy lifting for me when he gets home.

Yep, I'm coming in on a Saturday. I want to go back to Stampin' Up! Saturdays. I'm combining today's with the 10 on the 10th collab on YouTube. I'm not actually a part of the collab but I've been playing along to get my stash of Christmas cards ready to go. I do not want to be like last year and not have cards to send.
I tried to choose products that are still available in the catalog, even though the Heart Warming Hugs DSP was in the 2020 Holiday catalog. I have a reason so hang with me... lol
Here's the card I have for you today:
I was inspired by THIS CARD from Wanda Pettijohn at starlightstamper.
I used the Heartwarming Hugs DSP. If you loved that paper as much as I did last year, you're going to be excited to know we are getting it back in the Holiday Catalog!!!!
It's going to take me a bit to get back on track here so please be patient. I'm working on the SU, filming corner this weekend so I can get things organized.
If you've not watched my UGLY TRUTH video, take a peek. I have 3 boxes of SU stuff to unpack/ put away and a pre-order from the Holiday/ Sale A Brations that will be here next week.
I'm late to the party today. I've been blogging since 5 this morning. I'm tired and still have about 4 hours to go.
Here's my desk as I left it on Monday after crafting a card for a Color Challenge for my Upline. You can see the card post HERE.
I used the new Stampin' Up! Bundle - What's cookin to create the card.
I've not accomplished anything else in the office this week. Instead, I've worked in the garden for a couple of hours in the early morning then been out of commission, mostly sleeping, the rest of the day.
I didn't go out this morning. Instead, I've been blogging since 5 a.m. - on 4 hours sleep.

Today's color challenge is the monthly color challenge from my upline - Brandy's Cards. I decided if I was going to play with a color challenge, let's see if Brandy was still doing hers every month. She is. In fact, she has them posted through the end of the current catalog NEXT YEAR!
Here's this months' color combination:
Here's my card:
I combined her color options with one of the new bundles featured in the current catalog:
With all the cooking and baking I do, I just had to have WHAT'S COOKIN'. If you click on the catalog number below the picture, you'll be taken to the item in our catalog. Bundles are a great way to shop. When you use the catalog number associated with the Bundle, you save 10% on the purchase price.
I no longer have an on-line store but you can still find me easy enough. Once you're on the home page for Stampin' Up! you'll see Find A Demonstrator in the top left of your screen. Click on that and input Kelly Henkins - Birch Tree MO and I'll pop right up. Remember, I can only except orders from USA but if you have any questions, I'm here to help.
There has been a surge of interest in my Stampin' Up! business so I'll be featuring products and specials here on this blog. I'm not going to a separate blog. That was just too much and it's all CREATIVE - right?
Keep an eye out for specials I'll be featuring and for new buttons on my sidebar.
