I'm so mad I could kick myself! Okay, maybe not that mad (LOL). I ordered the Movers and Shapers die and the Fancy Favor box die and forgot to order the extended cutting pads and extended crease pad. Oh well, they will be ordered with my September order (which is ready to go!). I decided to use one of the most beautiful stamp images from Stampin' Up! – the single… Read More »
I made today's card using Clean and Simple Card Sketch FTL #56. As you can see I didn't exactly stick to the original sketch. Here's the sketch: But I did keep it clean and simple.

For the flower and scrolls, I used the Lovely Flower Rub-on's from the Lovely Flowers Bundle, Hostess Level… Read More »

I stamped Happy Birthday (using the stamp-a-ma-jig, of course) on Sahara Sand… Read More »

Today's card is called Arte Oriental. The English name of the stamp set is Asian Artistry but when I ordered it from Stampin' Up! during the preview I inadvertently order the Spanish version. And since I had used the images several times before I noticed my mistake, I could not return it. The photograph of the card is a little different than my usual. I usually try and take the… Read More »
