Just Believe Card

This is another thank you card for a co-worker. I know that the ribbon is retired, but I needed something to put on the card, and there it was! I've owned this stamp set for quite a while, but I rarely if ever use it. I'm just not the flowery type of girl ya know?

Punch Art Pool Card

Today's card is for one of my favorite co-workers.....Carlos. He is a porter for us and that means that he does all of our outside work. He picks up litter, breaks down large items by dumpsters, he cleans and maintains the pools etc. This is hard work, especially this summer, but you've never met a harder worker. Oh, did I mention that he is going to be 80 next month? Exactly! So, I figured a card showing someone relaxing in a pool would be perfect, especially since the only time Carlos has ever been in one of the pools he cleans is when he accidentally fell in! This is a punch art guy from Blinkin Thinkin & Inkin. If you've never visited her blog, you don't know what you are missing. You will probably see even more ideas from her pretty soon. She is absolutely amazing!

Plane Card (Retired)

Some of you may not know, but next Friday is my last day at my current job. I have been offered a great opportunity with Edward Jones in St. Louis, and it was just too good to pass up. That being said, the people I currently work with are wonderful and I am going to miss each and every one of them. So, I decided to make everyone a goodbye card (plus it was a great excuse to stamp!). Today's card is for an ex pilot that I work with. I thought the best stamp for him would be the Plane and Simple airplane. Now this uses a retired stamp and some non SU dsp, but I couldn't resist. It just looked so good with gumball green and marina mist! Don't you agree?

I had to share

I saw this on another SU Demo's blog and had to steal it to share. It is exactly why I Stamp! Don't you agree.....it's so true!

My first SU! Order

I'm so excited...it's like Christmas at my house. I finally got my first SU! order after about two years. Now I just need to find some time to play with it! Can you tell all the amazing things I got? Any suggestions on what I should play with first?

It's Time for Cake!

And this one is even diet.....although I'm not sure why you would want to eat it. This is a cake for one of my co-workers 50th Birthday. I had just made a banner a week before, so I wanted to do something different. We had a potluck at work, and since I'm not very fond of cooking, I decided I would make the party favors. The papers on this are long retired, but once again they are some of my favorites. I figure I should use them before they disinigrate. My daughter's comment was, Mom....this could be your wedding cake!

Aviary card #2

Ok, yesterday's Aviary card was a disaster, but I like this one a lot better. I had never really masked before, so I figured I would give it a try. I like the layering of the colors. This is a little 3x3 thank you card. You can never have too many of those can you? Not sure who I will give it to, but one of my new goals is to mail or give away more cards. I had so many cards made and not given out when I moved they took up an entire box. I managed to give most of them away to the troops downrange, but I don't want to be a hoarder....so, if anyone would like this card, let me know. I'd be happy to send it to you :). It's a win win situation. You get a card, and I get to say I'm doing what I promised myself!
