Say Good-Bye!!!!

One of my all time favorite sets, Wild About You, is "retiring" this year. I love the animals in this set because they are cute without being deformed or looking like alien creatures from another planet. Also included in this stamp set is a penguin, alligator, elephant and a very small flower. This set works great for masculine or kid's cards or for scrapbooks. This is one set I intend to keep for a long time.




The idea for this card came from the Stampin' Success magazine for SU demos. It is fairly easy to make and will fit in a regular A2 envelope. The card base is Tangerine Tango (one of the retiring In-Colors). The hardest part is making sure the images show through the punched windows. I think my giraffe is a little off but. . .It is handmade and not meant to be perfect right?

No Time to Stamp!! Ugh!!!

I can't believe it has been so long since I posted!!! I finally received my pre-order and the new colors are more awesome in person than in the catalog! I love them all!!! Now if I can just set aside some time to actually make something!!! How do you know when you have had no time to stamp???? You know when you go to your monthly upline's meeting and you only have ONE, yes I said (wrote) ONE, card to share!!! Something has got to go-my family must either stop eating or wearing clothes!!!!!! I must have some stamping time!!!!!

I did make some thank-you gifts for our homeschool support group board members. I made them a quick set of cards using the Puns From the Past stamp set. I even decorated the envelopes. I wanted to make a folio to put these in but. . . ah well I did make the cards and got most of them delivered (sorry Kris-you will get yours at stamp club). How do you like the frame around the sewing machine??? I just punched 2 round tab punches, one Very Vanilla and one Always Artichoke, and lined them up together-pretty cool huh?? Somebody else has probably already done this but it is new to me! The DSP is from the Hostess Print Pack.

My stamp club is tonight and of course the cards we are going to make are awesome!!! One of them is just too stinkin' cute!! I copied an idea out of the Stampin' Success magazine for demos and used Wild About You stamp set. Another card I CASED from Jackie! If you want to see some really beautiful cards check out her blog, Kreate With Me 2. She is so faithful about posting every day and her creations are loverly! Well I just heard the dryer buzzer and I guess I should vaccuum & dust before stamp club!!!
