Wow! I hope I remember how to do this. It has been such a long time but I am glad to be back blogging. I have been stamping this year so far and having classes but with life as it is I just haven't been able to blog. But life is getting better and I am ready to go. Here is the first of many post to come.

From My Heart

 

Here is another great card that we did in July. I love Cherry Cobbler everything. It makes me hungry but I still think it's the greatest red we have next to Real Red. The new stamp pad in Real Red is awesome. No smearing and it drys quickly unlike the old pad I had.

Layered Labels

Finally I am almost at the last card for June. Just one more left to put on. I just don't believe I got so far behind. I guess I will have to put them on before class from now on to keep up to date.

I really appreciate all my card class members and their faithfulness every month. It makes it such a joy to prepare for.



 

 

This is the inside of the card. Because I cut the image out of the card front, stamped it on white and put it behind the card front I felt I needed to stamp something inside. It worked out great.

Daisey #2

Good morning. We had a very nice rain over night that will really make the garden grow. Today is still cloudy and cool so I will be stamping and having fun.

This is another card we made in class this month. I am sad to say that the Daisy #2 die is being retired in May. It is such a cool looking flower as you can see.

There are so many stamp sets and accessories retiring and you really need to check out the list. If there is anything you want to purchase you need to do it as soon as possible as everything will be selling fast. Stamp sets can be purchased through the 31st of May but accessories are only available as long as the supply last.

 I am really looking forward to the new catalog and all the new products that are coming out. Our stamp pads are not retiring however they will be revamping them and making them better than ever. Also the markers are not retiring there are just some that won't be sold individual any more. Just a lot of info to take in and digest. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.

Stamp Set: Perfectly Penned

P.S. I Love You

From my heart to yours, what a great saying!! This is going out to all my friends and family with problems today. You are in my heart and I am thinking about you and praying for you today. It seems that there has just been so much sickness lately with everyone I know. It's like an epidemic.

We are getting ready for a trip to Michigan in July to see all our old friends and spend time with our kids and other family there. I can hardly wait. There is to be a family reunion for my family and my husbands as well, so we will get to see people we have not seen in a long time. Looking forward to much fun and relaxation at the lake where our son camps. The next 2 months will go by slowly I am sure.

Happiest Birthday Wishes

Wow! It has been awhile since I posted. Life seems to get so busy now days. I have been busy with friends having fun and also not so much fun with some. There are so many sick people today and my friends are dealing with some real problems. That means I have been praying a lot and having some difficult feelings that kinda of hinder creativity. If you are a praying person and think of it, please pray for Marlene, Ruth, Teri, Kathy, and Cullen and Leona. All are going through rough times with cancer or other extreme health problems right now, in themselves or loved ones. I am sure they would appreciate your prayers.
