Good Morning Stampers! One last time for Spring Song, one of my favorite stamp sets. If you like this stamp set, order it before 30 June 2010 because then it will be gone. And right now I have a special – 20% off retiring stamp sets (see below). It seems I've rediscovered Tea Party DSP! I just found the striped paper of blue, greens in this package and I may just… Read More »
Good Morning stampers! For today's post, I thought I would pair a relatively new stamp with retiring card stock. The stamp set is Messages for Mom and the card stock and paper is Almost Amethyst and Tea Party Designer Series Paper. The challenge is from SUDSOL's Case Challenge #39 – you take a a case sample from the Stampin' Success Magazine and either copy it exactly or chance it slightly. Since… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers As I was coloring in my roses (image from Elements of Style), I kept thinking, "Are there real blue roses?". From the Wikipedia: Blue roses, often portrayed in literature and art as a symbol of love and prosperity to those who seek it, do not exist within nature, due to genetic limitations………. But like an instructor I took a card class from once said, "You are the… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers Today's card is using both retiring products and new products. I paired Almost Amethyst with Tea Party DSP. Love that DSP, it's so dainty and soft. The Almost Amethyst card stock (both 12 x 12 and 8 1/2 x 11) has sold out but the Tea Party DSP is still available. The new is the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder (it's gorgeous) and Perfect Punches Clear Mount Stamp Set. Contest – win a… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers Today's card features the retiring Ruby Red card stock (one of my all time favorites). This is one of the flowers that we made at the New Techniques class last week. I made this card for it because very flower needs a home whether it's a 3d project or a card. Isn't that right? Anyhoo, when my husband picked up the card, he squashed the flower down (gasp!!!)… Read More »

I decided to use Melon Mambo and Old Olive together with Whisper White being the predominate color. Melon Mambo is such a pretty color and I'm glad that it is staying on as one of the core colors. I love to combine it with Old… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers We are at Big Cedar Lodge near Branson, MO and today it's a beautiful day! As I mentioned in a post a couple of days ago, Ron and Linda (David's brother and sister in law) were visiting us last week. David wanted to send Ron his favorite Chicken Soup Recipe and I a card to Linda so I decided to make matching cards! They are identical in colors only. They both use… Read More »
Good Morning Stampers: The simple lines and lack of embellishments makes this card the perfect candidate for my Simple Sunday post. Well almost lack of embellishments. I've added a couple of rhinestones. The rubons are called Love and Happiness but they are retired but please don't ask me when. I have a drawer full of rubons that I've purchased from Stampin' Up! over the years but for some reason forget to… Read More »
