Summer

I hope you all have a fabulous summer! I have quite a busy summer planned. So my posts may get scarce, but I'll try to post a few fun things. It's been a great Stampin' Up! year. A new catalog/idea book will be coming out in July. That will be something fun to look forward to. I'll try to keep you all posted on promotions and specials this summer. Have a great one!

March Craft Day

Thank You to everyone who came to our March Craft Day. I thought it was a lot of fun. I look forward to this day each month. Hope you do, too. :-)

Here are a few samples I had of cards we made:

As a gift from me, everyone who came could take a Decor Element flower home with them. (And a tile if they wanted one:) Hope to see all of you back for craft day next month and hope those of you who couldn't make it will make it next time :-) Happy Stampin'!

Choo Choo

Here's a simple card I made using a new stamp set and Stampin' wheel that will be coming out in the mini catalog next week. I do enough little kid projects and cards that I thought I needed this set, as I have nothing like it :-) Have a Wonderful Weekend! I'll see some of you at our craft day on Saturday!

Another Petal Pizzazz :)

One last version of the Petal Pizzazz card. I used Spinkles in the background with Versamark and I tried a new color combo--Baja Breeze, Tangerine Tango, and Apricot Appeal with Black and White. Have a Great Day!

Petal Pizzazz

I saw a similar card to this one in the April issue of Stampin' Success by Stephanie David and just had to case it. So here is my version of the card. A little more simple than hers, but my supplies are more limited. Of course, Mother's Day is in the near future (hint, hint to my kids and hubby :>) Have a Happy Stampin' Day!

Distressed

I practiced distressing my paper and ribbon last week. I used my scissors and ink pad to help me do this. The flower was done with a blender pen. This card was really fun to make :)

Stamps: Fifth Avenue Floral, A Little Somethin'
Paper: Sahara Sand, Baja Breeze, White
Ink: Basic Black, Baja Breeze
