Another little project

I thought I'd share with you the other make-n-take project I made at the crop last weekend. It is a little 3x3 card that can be used as a gift enclosure. Of the many things that the clear My Acrylix stamps can help you accomplish the "clearest" is shown in this one: lining up your images to place it exactly where you want and to do multiple stamping. The "thanks" is stamped on a twill ribbon so you can place it exactly on the ribbon and not miss by going off the edge. The flower is actually done with 3 stamps! One is the solid inside done in the beautiful pinky-orange "Sorbet" color, the outline and the center are then done in Chocolate. This little card says a lot in a little space!

Stamp sets: Aspiration (flower), For Every Occasion ("thanks")

Paper: Unforgettable

Other materials: Chocolate and Colonial White cardstock, Twill ribbon, stylus for dry embossing, sanding block, Sorbet and Chocolate inks

It's been 2 months!

Wow! A lot of activity has been going on in my life and just no time to update this bloggy thing! Well, I just got back from my 1st ever multi-day crop as a vendor (or as anything, for that matter). What an experience! It was fun and exhausting at the same time! Here's a couple of pictures of my display area:
My friend, Becky, and I shared the experience and we did a make-n-take each day. We were honored to have received some very positive feedback from the ladies who attended!

Here's a picture of my 1st make-n-take and the matching 2nd page:

Materials used (all CTMH)
Stamp sets - Daydream and Footprints, Homestead alphabet
Desert Sand and Spring Iris Inks
Desert Sand Carstock for matting and border
Colonial White Cardstock for bases
Majestic Blue B&T

All in all it was a great weekend!

Get "Tickled Pink" before it's too late!

The pretty promotion kit, "Tickled Pink," ( see left column) is so popular that if you want to get one, you'll need to act soon because it is only while supplies last! It can be yours FREE when you purchase $60 worth of stamps (not including the Stamp of the Month or custom stamps). For example, I purchased one of the large alphabets (E-size) plus 2 of the Solos (B-size) that totaled $62.85. By making that purchase & getting the kit free I now have 4 stamp sets (kit comes with a D-size stamp set), coordinating 12x12 sheet of textured die-cuts, 6 sheets of cardstock and 4 sheets of coordinating papers PLUS embellishments, a foam tool and instructions for layouts! It is really a great deal! Call or email me to order yours!

Summer '09 Idea Book ...

A brand new Idea Book is now out and there is absolutely something for everyone in it - from camping to flowers to children to teens!

Comments are working!

Thanks to Deb and Darlene for helping check out my "Comments" problems. You may now post a comment and I will be able to see it! On another note, we had a good time doing the Easter Layout, each lady with their "tweaking", making the layout truly their own. If you missed tonight, I'll be hosting another get together to celebrate the new Summer Idea Book debuting today, May 1st. Now, however, it's time to rest ... God bless!
