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 the new stamp sets and the gorgeous new in-colors beginning on 1 July 2009. I… Read More »

I decided to make a simple card today. As you can see, it doesn't include any embellishments other than the three half pearls. Also, you can't see it here but I scored a line all around the card (about 1/2 inch from the edges). I inked up the image with Baja Breeze and then stamped it on Whisper White card stock. The half pearls (baby blue) are from my local scrapbook… Read More »
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.

The designer series paper is Bella Bleu. I am so glad this… Read More »

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 is Sweet Slumber Designer Specialty Series Paper which is also retiring at the end of… Read More »
I belong to the Business Stampers Coaching Group and one of our challenges was to write a post about an essential stamping tool. I selected the Stamp-a-ma-jig because I think it's the most misunderstood tool in the catalog. I was at first intimidated by this tool but the more I use it the more I am comfortable with it. I have to say that I love this tool. I've owned… Read More »
