Welcome to Day #5 of my DOcelebration Online Event! I enjoyed reading what everyone did for Valentines Day. For those that asked what movie we went to, we saw Blide Side. Not sure why we waited so long to see it. I have to say – it was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time.
Well – I can't believe it's been 5 days and that today is the last day! I hope you'll stop by even after the party is over.

This is Stampin' Up!'s Ronald McDonald House Charities stamp set. For every set sold, Stampin' Up! donates $2 to RMHC. (FYI – It's free with a $50 order)
Each year, I like to have a stamp camp that features the RMHC stamp set. This year I did the stamp camp back in September. Each stamper received their very own Very Thankful stamp set and made 3 cards of 4 designs (Keeping 8 cards and donating 4 RMHC). A total of 50 cards were donated, which I brought with me to Leadership in Phoenix just last month). Read more about RMHC here!
Here are the cards they made (For supply lists & Dawn's Stamping Tips, click on each photo):
Next is the 4th and final stamp camp card –the Peacock…which was my favorite. I used a SO VERY EASY stamping technique on the Peacock to get a multi-colored look.
Wanna see how it was done? I did a quick video on How-to-DO-it! FYI – I just started doing videos last fall and this was my first one. So be kind!
If you're unable to view the video in your reader or email subscription, you can view the Multicolored Peacock "How to DO it" video here.
So which is your favorite? You know my favorite is the peacock. My next favorite is the boy – he's growing on me. Kinda reminds me of my 2-1/2 yr old grandson Max (who ripped the heart off of his valentine I sent him - LOL). Actually – I have an adorable picture of Max with the Valentine he made for his Mommy and Daddy. It totally reminds me of the stamped boy card. Maybe I'll share tomorrow.
Let me know your favorite when you leave your comment today (which enters you in the drawing* for the Very Thankful stamp set and Stamp Camp Project Pack)
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING TO MY PARTY! I had so much fun. I hope you did too!
Enjoy~Dawn O

I love all the cards, but the little boy thank you is my favorite! Thank you for the chance to win! I certainly enjoyed the past 5 days.
I love the versatility of this stamp set! From cute to elegant. My fav of your samples, though, would have to be the Kraft/Olive card. Thanks for sharing.
This one is easy for me – I love that peacock – have been eyeing him for awhile in the IBC so I have to go with that card. Thanks for a fun week!
Love the turtle! Adorable!
My first pic is the turtle and then the peacock. I’ve had a blast at your party, it’s been so much fun and the chance of winning something is icing on the cake. Thanks for all the inspiration.
I like the turtle card. The color combinations are great on all the cards. Thanks again for sharing your great ideas with us.
I like the turtle the best. Thanks for sharing.
My favorite is the peacock. Thanks for sharing these ideas. I got this stamp set as one of my free sale-a-bration sets and I’m excited to start using it…these ideas have started the creative wheels turning.
Another great set of cards. My favorite is the turtle followed by the thanks so much card. Thanks for sharing.

Blessings
I love all the cards, but the turtle is my favorite. Thanks for the video.
Dawn, you do such beautiful work! I absolutely love the peacock card! I’ve been involved with a stamp camp or two that focused on the Ronald McDonald House stamp set by making a box with cards. But it never occurred to me to donate one of each design to the charity itself. GREAT idea! Thank you so much for sharing your ideas. You are an inspiration to us all!

By far my favorite is that full of personallity turtle, and since you showed us how to get such sparkly color, I would have to say the peacock.
Thanks for a great 5 days – but I think everyday on your blog is special…thanks for all that you do.
I love your samples, this is really a great set. Thanks for sharing!
What a variety of styles! They are all great, but the turtle is my favorite. Thanks for all the great ideas you’ve shared with us!
My favorite hands down is the turtle. Not to take away from the others, I love them too, but I have a special place in my heart for turtles. Thanks for sharing!
The turtle is my favorite. Thanks for sharing!
I love the peacock card. The video was great to show how you did it. Will be using the sponge dauber on some cards I do today.
Thanks,
Robbie
Oh, I love this set, especially since SU donates $2.00 to Ronald McDonald House. Great cards and tanks for the video.
A favorite you ask??? Well, I do like the subtleness of the peacock, but I do like the vibrant colors you chose to go with the turtle. In the end, I like them all. TFS!
Hi Dawn,
Love the turtle=) Thanks for a chance to win!

Hello Miss Dawn,
Your blog is such a blessing to so many.
Thank you for the opportunity to be able to create such wonderful cards.
The peacock is my favorite too. Thanks for the great video – I always forget about using my sponge daubers in that manner. This was a fabulous “party” and you can be sure I’ll be visiting you a lot for more inspiration!
The turtle is my favorite.
Thanks for sharing your creativity and giving us a jump start.
My favorite is the peacock!
Great set of cards using the RMcD House set! I think I would have to go with the elegant peacock as well…but the turtle is right behind. Thanks for all the sharing!
The turtle has been my favorite since FOREVER! But I really like the way the 4 symbols look on the “Thanks so much” card, too. And the peacock is just gorgeous! Oh, it’s too hard to decide! They all look wonderful! Happy celebration day! Can we do it again next month too?
Thanks for the fun five days! My favorite is the boy stamped card because it reminds me of when my son and I stayed in a RMHC when he was having surgery at a Shriners Hospital. What a wonderful place that is!
My favorite is the turtle because those are my favorite colors to use. I enjoy seeing all of your talented artwork. Keep it up!
Susan
Heavens! That peacock card sure is beautiful. Thanks for such a wonderful blog. That in itself is a gift!
Your samples show me the true versatility of this stamp set. Nicely done! Again, thanks for these very special 5 days and all the stamping inspiration you give me.
You are a great person. I love hearing that you did for others. The Ronald MacDonald House is a great charity. Thanks for sharing your cards. The peacock is my favorite.
I like the turtle card the best because of the textured background, which is why I recently ordered the Big Shot! Yea!!!! Can’t wait to get it and play with it. 🙂
The peacock is gorgeous!
But the turtle card really caught my attention, I like the color combo & the layout, it’s such a simple yet beautiful card (the texturzed backgound!!!)
Thanks for the chance to win.
I will be back everytime you update your blog, that’s the beauty of e-mail subscribe!
I love the little boy the best because I have a little boy and he still loves me although he became a teenager this year. (I guess he’s not so little anymore!!) Thanks for sharing.
I’m partial to vintage/ elegant type cards. I would say the peacock is my favorite as well. Nice to see this set demonstrated.
Teresa
Love, love, love the peacock!! My favourite and thanks for the tutorial!
My favorite is the thank so much with the flowers – simple and clean. Love it! Love checking out your blog.
I love the technique for the peacock — very clever; yet so simple. Those are the best ideas of all.
I love the Turtle! Love your blog. You are an inspiration to all of us! Thanks for sharing.
Great cards from a set I’ve never given a second look!
I like all of the cards but the turtle card is my favorite because I love the color combination used on it. Nice job, very creative. This stamp set is so cute and very versatile. Thanks for the chance to win it!
Another lovely project. I love the peacock and would love to do some watercoloring on it. It’s such a good set to use. Thanks so much for a chance to win this set.
Remember your multicolored peacock from earlier on your blog and was amazed at how you accomplished the beauty. Beautiful card but I can see many uses for the clean and simple “thank you” card and matching envelope. Thanks for another chance to win ~ what a terrific celebration!
I love the peacock and the turtle! I can’t pick just one! Thanks for sharing!
Missy
My favorite is the peacock. My daughter has 2 that visit her backyard here in Florida. They are something to watch! Thanks for sharing your wonderful cards.
Love the turtle. Love all of them actually. Thanks for such cute ideas.
My favorite is the peacock and you did a wonderful job with the video. Thanks for the chance to win.
Thanks for 5 days of great ideas!
Love the turtle. He’s adorable.
I really like the simplicity and the bold colors of the turtle and the “thanks so much” cards. The lines are bold and the colors POP! They look like they are uncomplicated yet leave a stiking statement.
This is such a versatile set – a little something for everyone. I really like the simplicity of the Thanks so Much card – great job using the colors in the designer paper for the stamped image. This could look totally different with girly colors. I also like the whimsy of the turtle and the way you mimicked the dots on his shell with the embossed background. Thanks for sharing all 4 Mary!
these cards are remarkable! LOve them all, I think the peacock is my fav. It’s no wonder you have 500k hits on your blog!!
Another fantastic set of cards! I love the peacock and the video was fantastic. The glitter is fabulous on the peacock. But, I think I have fallen in love with the turtle. I would love to have this stamp set! From the elegant look of the peacock to the cute little turtle, it certainly is a versatile set.
What a great, versatile set. I love the cute turtle the best, but the peacock comes in a close second with its elegance. Thanks for the 5 days of fun, information, and inspiration!
Gee, it’s hard to pick just one, but I like the little turle! Like your tutorial that you did on the peacock. Mary
Thanks for the simple technique and the beautiful card. You are and inpiration!
I love the turtle the card! Turtles are just too cute and this stamp is adorable! It has been fun to join in the “party”!
Can I say that I loved them all?!! But my absolute favorite was the turtle card, it caught my eye.
Thanks for sharing your tips on the peacock, that is my favorite then the turtle, then the boy, then the design. Neat ideas thanks Sue
great cards!
I love the peacock too, but the bright primary colors on the little boy really catch the eye. Great job & thanks for sharing it all with us. I don’t have this set yet – hope I win!
The peacock is my favorite because of the beautiful colors and the richness. Loved the idea of donating the cards to a needy cause. Thank you. What a wonderful week, I promise to keep stopping by.
Love the Turtle, he’s SOOOO cute. Should have used him for Valentines day 😀 Take care and Thanks!
LOVE the turtle! Love that big shot stuff too! Whew, what a great time looking on all of this! Thanks for the fun! You just amaze me Dawn! The movie Blind Side was AWESOME!!!! Glad you liked it! Have a great night and thanks again for the beautiful work you have shared with all of us!
My first pick is the peacock closely followed by the turtle! Love the idea of your stamp camp using the set!
Oh my goodness. The peacock is absolutely wonderful.
The other cards are also lovely. Thank you for the inspiration these past few day.
Dawn,
I do believe you throw the best parties ever!!!!! My favorite was the thank you, but the boy card was pretty darn cute.
Thanks again for ALL you share!
YOU ROCK!

I love the peacock, but the turtle is really cute too! Just so you know, I totally appreciate it when people share ideas and tips with the rest of us, so thank you, thank you, and thank you!!!
My favorite is the turtle. I just think he is too cute but you really couldn’t go wrong with any of these stamp. They are so cute! And of course this set is for such a great cause. Thank you for sharing and for the chance to win. Ooh and I really want to see The Blindside as well. I can’t wait for it to come to dvd. I’m such a sap. I cry at movies like a baby and I think that this one will make me cry so I’m going to get it as soon as it’s available on DVD.
The turtle is my favorite. He is so colorful and cute! Thank you for the chance to win this set.
I really liked all of them, but the turtle card is my favorite. It is such a cute layout. I love the textured background and the circle on top of the other layers. Very effective.
It’s a toss up. I love the little turtle, but I also adore the gorgeous elegant peacock. When I was a little girl, my Grandma had peacocks roaming in her flower garden. Amazing beautiful creatures!
These are all lovely, but my favorite is the turtle. I think he is adorable. TFS
All great cards, my favorite is the turtle

The peacock is my most favorite. So very pretty and elegant. Love the technique you used to give it dimension. Though again, the whole set is great! Thanks again for sharing!
I think my fav is also the peacock, but that turtle is simply adorable! And, the thank you card is so versatile, fitting the bill for masculine as well as the ladies. I’m with you on the little boy, he’s a doll! Thank you, again, for your wonderful event, the fabulous cards and tips and techniques you shared, and your most generous giveaway! It’s been a delight to share this time with you, as is every day on your blog!

I love the peacock but I also like the versatility of the entire set. You did an awesome job showing that!
My favorite is the peacock! Brings back childhood memories of my Grandma. Her neighbor had them. I can still hear them screeching! Beautiful cards!
Brenda
I’m going to have to join the rest by saying the peacock card is my fav. The colors are awesome. Nice work friend!
Love them all. Thanks for sharing!!
My first choice would have to be the peacock also, but I do love that little turtle!!!
I can’t find my comment, so will try to post again…
I love the little turtle, but my favorite is the peacock! My grandma had peacocks when I was a little girl. They roamed throughout her flower garden. So beautiful, graceful and elegant! It’s a sweet memory!
I love that turtle. You make it look so easy. I love all the adorable things that you have posted . I had to subscribe to your blog. Thanks for always posting such inspiring projects. Tameria
Your peacock card is absolutely gorgeous. I love the colors you chose and the bling! Didn’t think I needed that set, but all of your cards are so cute, and it makes me reconsider. Fun party. I enjoyed all of the projects.
Again, not a fan of birds in general but since I am originally from Turtle Lake, I guess I have to go with the turtle. Very cute!
Thanks for the beautiful samples of this wonderful set!
i think the turtle is so cute, but really love them all. I’ve CASEd great cards that use each of the stamps!
Congrats once again, and thank you for a week long of cleaver creations and fun! Very enjoyable to see all the projects. Love the colors and sparkle added to the peacock. Great party! and best wishes to future milestones!
