Wedding Card

Isn't this cute? I need a wedding card so I might case this one. Can't remember where I found this sample but just might fit the bill...your thoughts?

Garden from the Heart

Here's today's sample. I didn't think I liked this stamp set. As always once I start seeing great samples, I realize I was wrong. This set is Garden from the Heart (I think.)

Monthly Stamp Club

We had so much fun at yesterday's monthly stamp club! The swaps were so awesome! The theme was "kids birthday". We had three new people join us. Welcome Barbara, Deb, and Cynthia! Of all the times I wasn't able to make swaps this month...bummer!

Chocolate Bunny

This is a very popular stamp...Chocolate Bunny. Isn't he the cutest? Yum....

More metal artwork!

I found these two samples...we've got to play with metal!

Beautiful Wings

Just a quick note to let you know if you ordered the Beautiful Wings Embosslits die, it is on backorder. According to the SU website today, shipping may be delayed by several weeks. They are receiving shipments regularly and are filling the backorders as quickly as possible. I am very sorry for the inconvenience.

Tami's Vendor Booth - CA

Here are some samples from Tami's booth. She's our "Up...Up...Up...Up Line. Tami lives in CA, I thought this was pretty interesting. Yvonne & I did a couple but didn't look this nice!

Creepy Monkey

I found these on another blog, I think the gal's name is Brandi. This made me laugh and reminded me of my friends Angie and Becky. To say they are NOT Monkey fans is putting it mildly...they started the IHSM club at convention a couple years ago. (I Hate Sock Monkey)

Fabric Flowers

Fabric Flowers: each flower was made with 19 or 20 layers, and a button in the center.

Big Flower

This is such a happy card. A fellow demonostrator, Heather created this lovely sample. Never thought of stamping on the flower. Great idea!

March Downline Swap

I nearly forgot to share this month's Downline Swap. What it that you ask? Each month the Stampin' duo has a swap with those demonstrators in their downline. No particular theme just have to use items that are current. This card was in celebration of St. Patrick's Day. I used Old Olive DSP, the Heart punch and the new Heart Sizzlet for the layer behind the heart. If anyone is interested how I got that Old Olive 'ribbon' when I did not have any Old Olive ribbon, let me know...you might just win a prize!

Happy Spring!

Comments: Summer Mini

I was just over cruising the Demo SCS gallery. I have just one tiny question...how can there be samples (albeit) not many, but how can there be any samples yet? Demonstrators cannot place PreOrders yet. Have I missed a deadline somewhere along the way?

Just want to thank my wonderful sister for coming over to help me 'shovel' out my home office this evening. Well shovel might be a tad harsh, by the time she came over, I was struggling with too many wires connecting this and that to the computer and USB hub. What a mess! I've got an IT guy coming tomorrow...charges by the hour. At least NOW, he'll be able to find my desk!

Have a great evening...happy stamping!

Candle Holder

This was made made from aluminum flashing for roofing and the Big Shot! We've got to try this.
