At last month's team meeting I challenged all my girls to make a graduation card.  The catalog does not have a set Graduation theme stamp set but woven throughout the catalogs are stamp sets that include "congratulations" or "way to go", etc.  I wanted them to bring them to the down line meeting at Glenda's when we met last week.  I was so happy with how many participated.  Thanks gals!!
Marlane used a Wedding Theme stamp set with the "Congrats" called YOUR PERFECT DAY and masked off the words "to you two" and added "from the herd" from the same stamp set.  Aren't these animals so cute!

 on the inside she used GIGGLE GREETINGS - how fun!

 Carla made this pretty card using the stamp set BRAVO and combined it with the BIRTHDAY BASH Specialty Paper. Specialty because it has embossed gold confetti!

 Looks like Sue and Carla had similar ideas by using the same paper and stamp set but achieving a totally different look.  I love them both!

Lynda couldn't join us at the meeting but she dropped her card off anyway, and I am so glad she did because I love this card too!  She used the stamp sets WORK OF ART, GORGEOUS GRUNGE and TEENY TINY WISHES

 Inez is new to our group and she jumped right in on this challenge.  What a fun step card, and I love the little wise owl.  Inez used the stamp set CLASS OF 2015, CRAZY ABOUT YOU, and a SAB set SIMPLY WONDERFUL

 She was even so sweet and added a note with her "recipe"

Thank you ladies for participating in this Graduation Card Challenge!

I should have waited

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!

Something For Baby

This is one of the cards that the ladies are making at the June Stamp A Stack classes and it was inspired by Jan Tinklenberg.  I love the fact that all the stamps in this set have a coordinating Framelit to go with it.  Better yet, you can buy the stamp set and the framelits as a bundle and save 15%.
So here are the details:
Stamp set alone in Clear: #134030 $21.95  Buy it as a bundle #136791 $39.75
Stamp set alone in wood: #134027 $29.95  Buy is as a bundle #136790 $46.50
Buy the framelits alone: #133735 $24.95

So now you can see that this is a really good deal

The Designer Paper I used is called Lullaby #133695  $10.95 for 12 sheets of double sided Designer Paper.

The other stamp set that I used is called A Dozen Thoughts #131059 $18.95 Clear or #131056 $26.95 Wood

On the inside: I used one of the new stamp sets called Bravo #135380 $25.95 available in Photopolymer only.
