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 the stamp set Friends 24/7. It's one of my favorite stamp sets but until today, I had not used the medallion stamp from the set. I inked up the stamp with Bordering Blue and then careful rolled the edges in Not Quite Navy. The technique is called Rock n Roll. The sentiment…
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…

Another of my favorite DSP that is retiring - although I did peeked at the new DSP in the new catalog and they are gorgeous! I am definitely going to offer the 6 x 6 swap DSP on 1 July 2009 though it won't include 20 packages of DSP. I'll do maybe ten packages of DSP…
It's time to say good by to an old and a new friend. Today's card includes Doodle This and Raspberry Tart Designer Series Paper – both will retire on 30 June 2009. I've had Doodle This since 2007 and I just recently purchased the Raspberry Tart DSP. This paper is gorgeous and I don't know why…
Today's card includes one of the stamp sets that did not make it to the new Catalog. I've used this stamp set a lot but this is the first time I've used the two stamping technique. I first stamped the outline image on Very Vanilla using Basic Brown. I then colored in the solid stamp…
