I got my last ones up this morning - the Forever Frame and our Monogram over our family picture in the family room.  You can see a bit of my stamp area in the photo.  I already have plans for a few more wall items for my July 1 sneak peak demonstrator order!

My Decor Elements came 2 days early - right on my birthday yesterday!  Here are some pictures.  I am so loving this new product line!  I also got my full color brochures, so I can send them to the people that order through me - just let me know if you would like one.

While I am working on Convention swaps, here are some files off my computer.  This is another Fresh Cuts example - this time backing the flower with designer paper and the flower punch.  I’m really going to miss Groovy Guava!

And here are some easy cards made with the Always stamp set and some cardstock scraps.  I have admired projects made with this set all year and finally had to break down and get it!

The first card below is a 3×3 love note using the eScape Special bundle.

Here are a couple of projects from my last workshop - a Loads of Love card (paper piecing with designer paper) and a 2-4-6-8 box with a chipboard star.

These new laser-cut note cards with the Fresh Cut stamp set are just gorgeous!  I made one of these cards for each of my club members.  My current club ends in June and I am now accepting members for  July through December clubs.  Purchase $25 a month for 6 months and get all the hostess benefits for one month!  Contact me for more details.

You can’t tell from the photo, but I used dimensionals on the inside of the mellow moss panel to make the cut flowers “pop”.  The half pearl is from the Pretties Kit.

There are 2 specials for June - plus the retiring stamps list will be out on the 15th!  Contact me any time with your paypal or credit card order.
