Today's card was made using the sketch (SSC 106) from Stamping 411. I used the stamp set from the Lovely Flowers Bundle, Level 3 Hostess Stamp Set. I used a blender pen and the Mambo Mellon Classic Ink Pad because I wanted a lighter touch on the flowers and the markers was too dark. I…
This is a very appropriate name for this Hostess Level 3 Lovely Flowers Bundle. The designer series paper in the bundle is absolutely gorgeous! I used Splitcoast Stamper's Wednesday's Sketch SC233 for the layout. It is so easy to make a card when I used a completed sketch from the vast resources out there on…
I made this card for today's New Catalog Party. I love the new color Melon Mambo. The designer paper is Razzleberry Lemonade. The stamp set is Asian Artistry, Level 2 Hostess Stamp Set. As demonstrators, we were able to order it during the preorder period (June 2009). Isn't it a beautiful stamp? When I ordered…
This is it! My last card of the 2009 Spring Summer Idea Book & Catalog. This stamp is also retiring along with the DSP which is Sweet Slumber Specialty. I've announced the winner of my blog candy in the previous post. It's Jessica Kerr so if you know her, let her know. Also, I have…
A couple of you have asked me why I wasn't showing cards with the new "stuff" from the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog. I wanted to showcase all the wonderful stamp sets that are retiring this month and I knew I wouldn't be using them after 30 June 2009. I will be showing cards featuring…

Today's post includes another of my favorite stamp sets that is retiring – Stitched Exotics. I also used the Sweet Always Designer Series Paper which is also retiring as of 30 June 2009. Today's post is short – I had a class or rather two classes today and I'm pooped. I just hope my customers…
It's like a I just discovered this stamp set! I used it a lot when it first came out and then I somehow put it away and forgot about it. I've used it several times recently when I discovered it was in the "Last Chance" List. It does make the prettiest petals. The designer paper…
No, I don't think that but I wanted to catch your attention! I did didn't I??? I made these small gifts for my grandchildren's teachers. David is in the 4th grade going into the 5th grade and Felicia is in the 3rd grade going into the 4th grade. They attend year-round school so they get…
Today's card uses the lovely Soft Summer Stamp Set from the Occasions Mini Catalog. In checking my stash of cards, I found out that I've used this stamp set at least 20 times! I knew I loved this set, but I didn't realize I had used it that many times! I decided to use the Taste of…
