A Slushy Thank You

I guess I have been in a thankful sort of mood lately, lots of Thank You cards everywhere.  That is what fall reminds me of, being thankful for the beautiful seasons we are so fortunate enough to experience.  The beauty in the trees right now is just amazing.  I hope you find beauty in this card.  I am really enjoying the new In Color - Strawberry Slush.  I am also addicted to the background stamp En Francais.  I hope you like like the card!!!

Regional Swap

Taking a straight picture eludes me, can you tell.  I am no photographer that is for sure!  Here is one of the three different swaps I made for Baltimore Regionals back in April.  I had a great time with my sidelines and upline, for many of them it was their first Stampin' Up! event.  I will surely miss the shabby chic look of this set, so thankful we did not loose En Francis, it is a favorite background stamp of mine.  Also extremely thankful Crumb Cake did not get left behind too, another go to for me lately. 
Hoping you have a great weekend with some stampin' time thrown in!  Once I get my mulching done, I will be in the craft room.  I have some exciting stampin' news to share with you very soon!!!
Happy Stampin'

Masculine Birthday Trees

I have made many cards lately using this very simple layout. Crumb cake cardstock stamped with En Francais in Crumb Cake. I added Lovely as a Tree in Always Artichoke at the bottom and I used the single tree from this set on the inside as well. The Happy Birthday is stamped in Always Artichoke on Always Artichoke cardstock and cut out with a framelit from the Apothecary Accents set. I have made sympathy cards with this same layout as well. Hope your day had some stampin' in it!!!
