just had to use it

So if you don't already know or if you haven't already seen, this is the DSP and Stamp Set that we got at the end of Convention.

I sat down this morning and started to mount my stamp sets and put everything away, well I got a little side tracked. I started to want to stamp, "normal right". Well now I know why I can't get anything done around here, I see my great stuff and I want to use it (stamp something). Well anyway this is what I got done after my cup of coffee. I hope you like it and thanks for stopping in.

I just had to jump in and stamp something I stopped over at the Clean and Simple Stamping Blog and this is the 100th Sketch so I just had to play along, you can check out the blog here!!! Lots of fabulous stampers have made samples too and you can find them through the link above!!! I guess by the looks of my card you can tell what is on my mind, Summer break has only 4 more weeks left and it just went by way to fast.

Christmas Wreath

One of my ladies saw a wonderful card on Splitcoast Stampers making this flower wreath and made a comment about how she would like to make a similar card. So I came up with this card and we made it at one of my last home workshops. For this card I did was use the Trio Flower punch but the Boho Blossoms punch would also work well. I used crystal effects to glue them down and did at least two layers of flowers I used 22 flowers to make this wreath, well I hope you like what I came up with and thanks for stopping in.

Here are just a few of the things that we saw at the home office. The staff that was there when we went on Friday were so nice and friendly. I will say that no matter who it was or when it was the employees (from Stampin' UP!) always had a smile on there face and they were friendly and helpful.

Kim I have to say Thank you so much for everything that you did for us, you went out of your way to make everything pleasant. I am so glad that I had the chance to meet you. Again Thank you, and I can't wait till next time. ;-)
