Adios Beau Chateau!

Hi Stampin' Friends I love, love the Beau Chateau Designer Series Paper and decided to use it for today's card.  I'll miss it but I am sure that Stampin' Up! will have some equally gorgeous new DSP for us to drool over!  Even though the coordinated color, Marina Mist, was listed in the catalog, I decided to use Baja Breeze because it seem to match a lot better. The pearls… Read More »

Happy Birthday Monica

Hi Stampin' Friends So how many of your stamp sets are retiring?  I didn't do too bad – only 33 of mine are retiring.  I was so glad to see that Lovely as a Tree is staying and I think it will be available in clear mount in the next catalog!  I'm sorry to see Sincere Salutations go but I've started using the My Digital Studio more and more for… Read More »

In Wilderness

Hi Stampin' Friends! I can't believe I've had this stamp set for almost a year and have not used it!  So I decide to dust it off and use it for my brother's birthday card. The set is called In Wilderness and is available in wood mount and clear mount. Beautiful sketches of the most noble of creatures grace this set. They are perfect subjects for greetings and gifts to… Read More »

Hi Stampers  Just ten days until the retirement list comes out – always an exciting time for me because I am keeping my fingers crossed that not too many of my stamp sets retire!  I'll be posting a "guess which stamp sets will retire" contest on my blog on 10 April 2012.  So if you want to participate, check in on that date because it will only run a couple of… Read More »

Extreme Skateboard

Hi Stampers I was working on a birthday card in the shabby chic style when I came to a complete stand still.  I did not have my Heat Tool to scrunch the ribbon because I had lent it out to my BFF.  Has this ever happened to you?  You get to a certain place on your card and you can't get any farther along? I'll be getting it back tomorrow… Read More »

Extreme Guitar

Hi Stampers Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  The weather around here has been amazing – makes me want to be outside instead of inside unpacking!  Yes, after 3 weeks I'm still unpacking – at my age, I guess that's normal (LOL).  I remember moving (as a young woman) during the weekend and then having the apartment completely unpacked by the following weekend.  And I was working full time! Anyhoo….Today's… Read More »

It’s been a busy day

Hi Stampers I don't have a card for you today.  It's my husband's birthday and we went out to dinner to celebrate! We spent the day packing (an ongoing long long process!), met with the movers and then went out to dinner.  David is going on an 8 mile hike tomorrow with his buddies – not bad for an "old" man! I'll have a card for you tomorrow. Thanks for… Read More »
