I’ve been meaning to post this card for a while now and am finally getting around to it.  It’s an adorable card from Vicki for me and my new little one!  Isn’t it so cute?  Remember that Sale-A-Bration set So Many Scallops?  And I believe that’s the new Super Fine glitter on there.  And how cute is that little pacifier on the ribbon?  Funny thing is we bought several different binkies for him and his favorite is a clear one!  And it shows the Shimmery White paper and just how pretty it is.

Thank you Vicki for the card (and the gift). 

Happy Memorial Day Everyone!

We all have them.  People in our lives who we see as over-achievers, people who can’t just do things simply or the way everyone else (or just me!) would do it.  They always have to go above and beyond.  Darn those over-achievers!!!  LOL Okay, well I’m kidding, well, half-kidding.  Mary is definitely an over achiever in the stamping and friendship arenas for sure, but I don’t know about the rest of her life (although her home improvements are ALWAYS top notch too! hmmm….) Anyway, I’m losing track (as I often do unless someone can reign me in)… The card!  That’s why I’m posting – would you look at this incredible card Mary made for me?  It’s just amazing.  I taught a simple waterfall card years back but this one just goes over the top!  Thank you so much Mary. And don’t think I didn’t notice the "and many more" at the end!!!  I think four is enough, don’t you?!?!  Now enjoy everyone – and make sure someone is near by to pick your jaw back up for you when you get done looking at all 10 pictures!  LOL  Click on each picture for a bigger picture and a little more detail.   I’m not sure why the pictures aren’t in order – the settings seem right but it’s not functioning correctly.  Sorry!

This adorable card was given to me by Dawn B. congratulating us on the birth of our new son.  How cute is this?  Basically with the same punches, but changing one small detail (well, and the color of the faces of course) you have four adorable Sesame Street characters!  Love it!  Thank you Dawn.

This card I received as a swap.  It was made by Independent Demonstrator Laura Barto.  Isn’t it so cute???

I love getting mail, don’t you?  Check out these cards.

This one is from Pam.  It’s a nice card on the outside, clever use of the three flower punch to create ‘brackets’ of sorts…

and then check out the inside!  Pow!  Three onesies pop right up at you!  Isn’t that cute??!!!  And even the three stars with three little ducks are all cut out and then popped up on dimensionals.  How sweet?  Thank you Pam!

And here’s one I received from Patty.  How pretty??  It uses the Purely Pomegranate (such a great color) and the new Pacific Point.  The ink is Ballet Blue but I think it looks great paired with the other two colors, don’t you?  All four flowers were cut out by hand and then dazzling diamonds was added to the center of each.  Isn’t that great?  I love seeing all the creative uses for the Eastern Blooms stamp set!  Thank you Patty!
