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.

Here is the card I made today for Andrea’s Makover Monday Challenge

My inspiration card was the guitar card from the recent Stamp It magazine.  I used the Live Your Dream stamp set and Afternoon Tea DP from the Occasions mini-catalog.

If you wish to visit Andrea’s website for Stampin’ Up! demonstrators, I would appreciate you clicking on the Demo to Demo  ad to your right.  She is giving away a free class planner to anyone who requests it!

I’m trying to empty my winter folder of projects to share!  This is a photo frame turned into beach glass art.  Collecting beach glass is a special hobby for many of us that live near Lake Erie.   Here I have watercolored a picture using the Blooming with Love stamp set and added a few chips of beach glass to the flowers.

Here’s a couple of cards I made with supplies from the Occasions mini-catalog.  The dates to order from this catalog have been extended to June 30.

It even shows a little bit about how the stamps are made and distributed. 

Here’s another card inspired by the Stampin’ Success magazine that demonstrators receive monthly.  You can’t tell by the photo, but their is a punched out window and the word ”LIFE”  is on the inside of the card.  Isn’t it great how the new silver Hodgepodge Hardware (occasions mini-catalog) matches several of our punches!

I had to share a photo of my new purse.  I love it! It has a pocket to display a card or photo.  Currently I am displaying a Carousel Note made with Afternoon Tea DP, silver hodgepodge, twill ribbon and Live Your Dream (occasions mini-catalog).  If you want a purse of your own, click on the Daily Window banner ad to the top right of my blog (or here:

I’m catching up from being out of town, so here are some photos that I think haven’t been posted yet.  I love this set from the minicatalog.
