Field flowers

Another beautiful flower stamp set (2 step stamping) along with the two current purple In-Colors, last years Concord Crisp and this years Wisteria Wonder.

The best part of making the card on the left is that I was able to copy a piece of newsprint from a MDS download I have. There is so much versatility with the MDS software.

Elebration

Isn't this the cutest stamp? I'll put a number in the upper left corner when I know who I'm sending it to and add a Happy Birthday greeting. I used Crystal Effects on the balloon because I have a weakness for Crystal Effects.

Retirement 101

It's wonderful having plenty of time to stamp now that I'm retired. Following are some cards I've made this week using some of our great new stamp sets. The sets are Up In The Air and Sweets for the Sweet.

Kards for Kids

At our September 10th workshop we will be making two cards for children. These were designed by one of my stampers.

Along with the Piggy Button Buddy card below, we made this card at our last workshop using the Daisy 2 Sizzix die cut.

Button Buddy Piggy

Made this for a birthday this week. I can see that this Button Buddy set will become a favorite. This is just too cute and simple too.

Hello Doily Pearl Bailey

This card is just stunning and easy to make. Couldn't resist adding it to my blog right away. The doily is embossed. Years ago I saw Hello Dolly on Broadway with an entire African-American cast starring Pearl Bailey and Cab Callaway. Couldn't pass up that memory.

Hello Doily

Here's the second card we're making this Saturday, August 13th. Contact me to reserve your place. I still have several catalogs left if you would like to purchase one.
