Congratulations Card


Here is a cute congratulations card I got from my friend Barb N. for my new job. She made this from the Stampin' Up! set Tart and Tangy. Thanks Barb!

Here is my version of the card Sue made me for Mother's day (see last blog). I didn't have the same stamp set, cuttlebug background, or ribbon but I still liked the concept of her card. We are heading to see Jackie, LEroy, and Maddie after visiting Carrie, Tim, and Abby for Mother's day. Maddie is having surgery tomorrow...pray all goes well and she isn't in pain and heals 100%!


Remember Stamp Club tomorrow night. Sue is hostess and acting demonstrator...bring your designer paper, cardstock, and ribbon for your box...


Happy Mother's Day to all you special Moms. Enjoy your day!

Happy Mother's Day


I have been so busy that I didn't make any Mother's Day Cards until this morning, too late to mail to my special Mother's living out of town but I made one for each of my two special, wonderful mothers - Jackie and Carrie. Of course I cased the idea for the card from the one I received the above card from Sue for Mother's Day...I didn't have all the same stamps or punches but I liked my version of her card with what I had on hand...Thanks Sue for the cute card.

Stampers -

May 12th is our next Stamp Club...Sue is the hostess and will bring a project.


We will also be making one of these cute little boxes (shown above). I cased the idea from someone on Split Coast Stampers.



Please bring the following for this project:

  • Designer Paper (two sided works great) size 8" x 8" for the lid
  • Card Stock 8 1/2 x 11" (any color to coordinate with your designer paper lid) Used for bottom and border inside window.
  • Ribbon to go around your box ( between 18 to 20 inches long)


We will use the Tart and Tangy set found in theMini Collection 2008 Catalog along with a couple oldie but good sets for stamping an image on the transparency. I will project the ink, stamp sets, and transparency paper for this project.


If you have a stamp set that you want to try bring it along the size of the hole is 1 3/4" circle so anything that fits should work!


I will have some paper with me in case you forget but if you want to make a box with a certain theme please bring your own paper.
