Sympathy Card

Still trying to use up designer series paper and ribbons, etc. before the new colors and catalog come out. I cased this card from my friend, Kari (see card below). I love the Heartfelt Thanks set, and unfortunately, I had to make a sympathy card. This is what I came up with.

Thanks, Kari!

Kristina's Challenge

Although a little late, I went ahead and did Kristina Werner's Weekly color challenge. I have never submitted a card before, and was reading someones blog about this particular challenge. Typical, I didn't pay attention to dates or deadlines, but I made this cute card with the required colors: whisper white, regal rose, wild wasabi, river rock and purely pomegranate.

Variety of Thanks

Still trying to use up paper...I could go on like this for weeks.

Kari's Sympathy Card

My friend, Kari, makes the most amazing cards. I took the initiative to post this sympathy card that she made. I put a little copyright thing on the card, too, incase someone recognized the card and then wanted to call the card squad to come get me. She always has the coolest cards to display. You can see the other great cards she makes on her blog.

Simply Scrappin' Kit

I had an older Simply Scrappin' Kit and took it apart to discover that you can make like 32 cards from one kit! Here are a couple of samples from that particular kit.

Blaine's Thank you card

Blaine celebrated a birthday and he was baptized all in the same week, so we had a lot of "thank-you's" to send out. Which, by the way, we're still working on. Here is his card. I'm trying to continue to use all the paper that is going to be leaving when the new catalog arrives.

Trying to use up my paper...

Here are a couple of cards that I have made from a simply scrappin' kit. You can make about 32 cards from one kit and still have a ton of stuff left over. That's a great deal!

Summer is here... as well as fond farewells

Right before we left on our vacation, I had the fortune of sitting down for an entire day to stamp! I was thrilled. Working full time and getting the kids to where they need to be each day has proven to slow down the stamping aspect of my life.

However, I will be posting a great deal of cards within the week.

Stampin' Up! has posted their retired list and after August 10th, stamps sets posted on the list will no longer be available for purchase.

Stampin' Up! accessories will go on sale beginning July 21st and I will post that list as soon as I receive it. Once the accessories are gone, that's it, so watch for that notice!

I have seen the new colors coming our way, and they're pretty cool.

You do not have to be at a workshop to make a purchase. If you need supplies or would like a retired stamp set, please contact me and I'll be happy to send your purchase directly to you, without an additional shipping charge.
