I was very honored this year to make samples for the boards at Leadership this year. Unfortunetly, I wasn’t able to attend. I was weeding through some pics the other day when I found these pictures of some of my samples. Hope you enjoy!!

Good evening! I was up late last night creating a few cards for an upcoming Stamp a Stack and thought I would share one of them with you. Obviously this one is more on the simplistic side to keep time down for the SAS. I have a really hard time keeping to simple. I always want to add much more, even sometimes going overboard.
I met with a few area demos this morning and must say it was so nice to chat with them. When you move to a new area the moving in part is always exhausting, but for me being lonely is the WORST! Don’t get me wrong, I have a big mouth and meet people generally quickly. However, it is hard to get out there and make nice and hope someone thinks you’re nice! Wink! Anyhoo, these demos are so very nice and have let me into their circle and I am grateful!
In case you are wondering… I am still cold. I really don’t think I will warm up until July! I should take a picture of myself so you can see the hoards of clothing I wear daily to stay warm. Yes, the temp is up in the house. In fact the kids are stripping they are so hot. So what is MY problem???? Ugh!
It snowed last night and I was a nervous nelly getting on the roads this morning. I slid twice and called the mini van a few names. I did make it without problems and by the time I got into the car to come home it had melted.
I am going to start painting my stamp room this week. Once that is finished and the wall decor is up, I will share some pics. Hold on to your pantyhose! It will look really great!
I guess I could tell you what I used on this card…
Cardstock: Old Olive,Tempting Turquoise and Petals & Paisleys designer paper from the spring mini. Stamps: Polka Dots & Petals, Just So Sayings Access: White Gel Pen, 1/4 circle punch, 1 3/8 circle punch
Have a fabulous weekend! Hoping for a little stamp for Kimberly time tomorrow!
ETA: I have NO CLUE why you see white stuff all over the card in the thumbnail. When you click on the actual card it is not there. If someone knows… clue me in! I am technically
challenged!
A Ha moment… Found the problem! It is my Picture program that is giving me grief!!! See the difference!

I wanted to add this card as well that I did last night. I love circles! I believe this card has yummy colors and reminds me of cotton candy and spring with the designer polka dot paper. So stinkin’ cute! I used my coluzzle for the circle. (The thumbnail of this card has white flecks all over it, but once you click on it you will see they really are not there. dunno!)
I used my Polka Dots and Paisley Set. I do adore the Paisley! I gave the paisley a little extra fun with adding the white gel pen dots around it. I used the horizontal punch to create a way to add my ribbon on the Old Olive circle and I think it added a nice touch. Anyone have a birthday now? I am actually prepared! Quite unusual!
Have a Fabulous Friday! I am going to try and scrapbook something later today. Besides organizing… scrapbooking is the ultimate goal!!

Got Chalk? This is a product I really don’t use often enough. Stampin’ Up! has the best quality chalk on the market in my opionion. It is very soft and works very well to color images. You can even use a blender pen with chalk to create a nice watercolored image. For this card, I used Tempting Turquoise , Basic Black, and Whisper White cardstock. I stamped my doodles in Black and punched a few holes along the flourishes. I then took my Tempting Turquoise chalk and ran it along the flourishes. It really gives it a soft effect. I likey! To give a little spice, I used my new spiral punch on the top of the basic black cardstock. LOVE LOVE LOVE this punch! I am getting ready to start a project using this on a spiral notebook. Lastly on this card, I used my Amazing to Zany word set (another must have) and added the sentiment. I could of added much more detail, but really was looking for a simplistic card. I have to tell myself, simple is a good thing!!
Now, back to organizing the house. It is a tad windy outside today. Just another reason to stay inside and be WARM!
