Still Sale A Brating.....

 

I made this card at my hubby's request.  He asked for two masculine and two feminine cards about two weeks ago.  Unfortunately, this one is still laying on the desk beside me as I type this post.  I had an awesome time with both of these stamp sets during Sale A Bration and in the background is an old favorite - French Foliage.  I am getting more and more nervous as April 24th draws near.  I hope I don't loose too many of my favorite stamp sets.  I am still in shock that Certainly Celery is retiring, are you???

Postage Due

 

Dear Blog, once again I have neglected you, for that I am so very sorry, but I have an excuse....I had to prepare swaps for Regionals  :)  This is a swap that ended up on the cutting room floor, no not really, it just did not make the cut.  It will be used though, someone will get this card one day.  I love to make cards with no sentiment, that way I can come back later on and just choose one from my stash, add a sentiment and away it goes to some lucky recipient.  This card uses Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Island Indigo.  I was trying to use up my Island Indigo ribbon until I learned this awesome color was not retiring after all, YIPPPEEE.  Hope you get some stampin' in today

Primrose Petals Thank You

I made this card for my hubby to send to some sweet friends of ours.  I CASED this card from a SWAP I received from Convention last summer.  I changed up the EF I used as well as the sentiment but otherwise the layout is basically the same.  This set is so Versatile, I love it

Hope your day is filled with stampin'.  I have been so busy with life itself and preparing swaps for Regionals in Baltimore on Saturday, I apologize for my neglect to my blog lately.  I will make it up to you....blog candy, perhaps?????????

Simply Thanks

A simple card with a simple statement - Thanks.  I made these for my stampin' friends that placed an online order during SAB.  I plan on using this simple layout in my next buffet, with a different sentiment, though, since this one is now retired.  I love how much pizazz a simple butterfly and rhinestone can add to a card.  I hope you are able to squeeze some stampin' in today.  I hope to this evening.  I have swaps to work on for Convention as well as a Stamp Club to prepare for...love my stampin' time!!!

Mixed Bunch Prayers

I recently made this card for a friend who has not been feeling well, I hope it brings a smile to her face.  I enjoyed using my FREE stamp sets and ribbon and DSP from SAB to make this card. The color combination of Rich Razzleberry and Pool Party will continue to be a new favorite for me. 
I can't wait to see what SU has in store for us in the new catalog....only 60 + days until it debuts :)
