I should have waited

Thursday, July 31, 2014
Before I get started on my post today I just wanted to remind you that TODAY is the last day to get in on my own special of FREE SHIPPING for any order over $35.00.  Thank you so much to all the ladies who took advantage of this great deal - my special thank you for helping me to achieve the Washington DC trip.  TODAY is also the LAST DAY to get in on the Designer Paper Special of BUY 3 get 1 FREE.  If you place your order on line I will send you a reimbursement check in the mail for the amount of your shipping cost.

I should have waited for a Sentimental Sunday post but I just couldn't wait to say "Congratulations" to our daughter, Julie, who (one week ago today) earned her RED BELT in Karate!  We are so proud of her dedication to this art.  She and Tyler both have invested hours of training to get to where they are.  I know I wouldn't want to get on her bad side or surprise her in a dark alley because she could for sure take me down, but she could take down her dad and brothers too (something she has been threatening for years!)



 This is the card that I made for her from the stamp set Work of Art - it has all the symbolism of the belt colors in Karate. 1. white belt, 2. purple belt (each belt has a solid color and then a stripe to follow before going onto the next color), 3. Green belt, 4. Brown belt, 5. Red belt.  Her next belt will be red with stripe so I added the Cherry Cobbler Striped Bakers Twine.  The Congratulations" is from BRAVO and is stamped in Black for the final color.  I added some "bling" with the Basic Rhinestones because she is a girl and April is her birth month! A heart because we love her and I made the little star in the center of the "O", red because she is truly a star in our eyes!!  Congratulations Julie, we are so very proud of you!
As a demonstrator we have access to an online site called STAMPIN' CONNECTION which has tons and tons of fabulous ideas from so many amazing demonstrators so if I cased this from one of them I am not sure because I have seen so many use this super new stamp set WORK OF ART.

Thanks for stopping by!
