REMINDER

I just wanted to give you a quick reminder that the May Specials will be ending tomorrow, so if you were planning on taking advantage of all the wonderful specials May has to offer then we are down to the wire. So don't hesitate and call me or email with your order today. Here is the link to review those specials.

Also Stampin' Up will be releasing the LAST CHANCE list on June 1st (this coming up Monday). This list will let you know what items will no longer be available for purchase. So you might want to pull out that Wish List on Monday and see if one of your favorites is on that last chance list and get it while you still can. Once that list is published those items will go quickly. So stay tuned for more details.

BOLD BIRTHDAY

Here is another one of those family birthday cards that I've been telling you about. This one was made for my husbands Aunt. I thought I would try something a little different in the way that it opened. I really like how this turned out. I'm going to be brief with my post today because I have limited time. I should be doing house work and trying to enjoy the weather but I thought I would take a break from the chores. Shhhhhh don't tell my husband ;0)!This card was very quick and simple and I love quick.

The recipe for this card is as follows, if I missed anything or you have any questions please feel free to shoot me a email.

Paper: Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Hand Drawn Bundle DSP(level 3 Hostess)

Stamp Set: Party Hearty

Inks: Rose Red

Accessories: Scallop Circle Die, Scallop Circle Die #2, Sticky Pages, Big Bold Cupcakes sizzlits, Small Polka Dots Texturz Plates, Chunky Glitter,Small & Large Tag punch, Clear Rhinestone and Baja Breeze Stripped Ribbon

So as you can see this card did not require alot of stampin' or cutting the punches and dies do most of the work. If you do not have a BIG SHOT I would suggest getting one. It took me awhile to get my mine and now I don't know why I waited so long this is one of those gotta have. Enjoy your weekend.

MISS MAY SWAP~ TRENDY TREE

I was asked to participate in the Miss May Swap. So I decided to go ahead and join in the fun. I thought what the heck why not it will be fun and I will get a stack of cards for ideas from ladies from all over. I have to be honest though I wasn't quite sure what to expect I had never been in a card swap other than with the ladies in my demonstrator group that is here locally where I live. So the thought of a mail swap and sharing cards and ideas from ladies that share my same passion and obsession of stamping sounded really fun. I have to say that this swap was way more than I expected all the swaps were wonderful. So thank you ladies for the wonderful cards. I sure hope you like my swap as much as I love yours.

note: some of the cards did not photo very well but don't let it fool you they are great. I also included the name of the creator and blog if I was provided with that information. Also if you are one of the creators and you do not see your blog attached email me and I will correct it.

Julie is a friend of mine. So I was surprised to see that she was part of the same swap but not surprised by the creativity and quality of the card (loved it Julie). You can also find her blog located in my favorites.
