I love a versatile layout!
I was massively low on wedding cards for the store and super low on sympathy for myself personally and those who purchase cards from me here.
I found this layout on Pinterest by Michelle Lupton from Australia who is not a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, but I loved the layout.
I pulled out some retired stamps (Flowering Flourishes and Backyard Basics) to create this and used a non-Stampin' Up! stitched die by Gina Marie. The sentiment on both cards is from ROSE WONDER. The colors I chose are Tip Top Taupe and Very Vanilla with the butterflies being colored in with Calypso Coral watercolor pencils and blended with the Blender Pen.

STAY TUNED!! Stampin' Up! gave us demonstrators a heads up of BONUS DEALS starting tomorrow, June 30-August 3rd. They will be adding new items to the CLEARANCE RACK up to 60% off AND some BONUS DEALS on the WEEKLY DEALS. I'm not sure what all they are, but they did say that they are "While Supplies Last", so shop early for the best deals.
Now on to the regular blog:
Our church has had the Annie Moses Band in concert three different times now, and it is always our best attended concerts. They are simply amazing!
This family hosts a summer intensive study for kids ages 10-19 (approx). Called FINE ARTS SUMMER ACADEMY (FASA). They help these kids with anything in the music field and at the end of the 2 weeks they put on a HUGE concert at The Grand Ole Opry!
It is totally amazing the talents of these kids. One of the gals from our church went last year - and let me tell you she is sooooo good on the Djembe,
plus Alyssa sings beautifully-a double whammy! She will be going again this summer along with another gal from church who can SING!!!! This will be Anna's first year at FASA. You may remember Anna from this previous blog post. We wanted to encourage these girls on this adventure with a small gift and this is the card that I made for the girls
One of the new families to our church is also sending their son to FASA. I love it when people start church and jump right in to ministry. Adam plays his guitar during our worship time and I LOVE to see the teens taking ownership of their church and worship!! So along with his gift, this is the card that I made him
Today is Tuesday and time to COME STAMP WITH ME! These are the cards that will be out for you to make. Can you see a theme here? Three of the cards are using the Hexagon Hive Thinlit Die and three of the cards are using the (now retired) Backyard Basics Stamp Set and Framelits. These cards were inspired by Dianne Sisneros, Ilina Crouse, Lynn Starzl, and Jen Timko. I love the feeling of Springtime that these cards have - they just make me smile.
There is no need to RSVP - this is "open house" style so come when you can and leave when you must. My craft room will be open from 10 am to 5 pm and you can make as many or as few as you want for only $1.50 each. I will tell you, though, that my Tuesday class has been a HUGE hit and for the past three weeks I ran out of cards. I am so very thankful for all the ladies who come to stamp with me.
I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since February 2008 and I LOVE IT! I have been married to Dale, the little boy I fell in love with when we were only 5 years old, for 45 years now. Our three adult children and our married-in children and our 7 wonderful grandchildren are our joy and delight. I am so thankful that they all support me in my Stampin' Up! business.
