Well, after such a busy busy month I am finally going through my stamp shelves and seeing all the beautiful stamp sets I will have to say good bye too. Here is one of them. I haven’t played with this set in a long time. I was browsing SCS and found a card very similar to this. Eat Cake has been used not just for cards. I know I have made some great scrapbook pages with it too. Just a versitle birthday set and great for kids cards. I used Flannel Plaid for the background stamp. Hopefully this week I will continue to inspire you with Retiring stamp sets.
Have a fantabulous MONDAY!

Well, actually it is Fun & Fast Notes. I love this stamp set to show new stampers. It has all the essential stamps they need to get started. Another great thing about this stamp set is that you can mount the sayings on the side of the block and get 16 stamps instead of 8. Really, great stamp set for beginners. The following cards were used at my last workshop. My guests made the birdie card and then the others I had out to show them other things they can do with this set. Very simple cards. Hope you enjoyed them.

Happy Thursday! Today I had my e-Scape event. Honestly, it was WAY to HARD for me to totally escape electronics. If you did, I am sooooo proud of you.
I couldn’t be away from my computer. I am a wus!
Anyways, there were a few hours of the day that I was actually stamping with friends. This is a good thing. Above are a two of the four cards we stamped tonight. I had a few extra cut so I decided to make a few for my own stash. I changed them up a bit to have some fun. I hate to see the Live Your Dreams stamp set leave at the end of the month. Beautiful flower and looks great so many ways. I will also miss the Afternoon Tea paper. Hasn’t that been a beautiful compliment to the Live Your Dreams stamp set? LOVE it!
The other two cards use the stamp set Bursting with Joy. Very elegant stamp set. This was probably our easiest card and I completely got the idea from my Stampin’ Success Magazine that Stampin’ Up! provides. Oh how I love that magazine. It’s exclusive for demonstrators and it always has the greatest cards in it.
That is all for me today. It has been a fun filled day.

Howdy folks. Just a super fast quickie post. Super duper busy trying to tie up loose ends here in my stamp office. I made this card a few weeks back. Fun and simple. I used the Stamp of Authenticity which is retiring. ACK! I made the scallop border using my 1" cirlce punch. I punched a bootie load of them and then wrapped them around the Tempting Turq. circle. Loved how that looked.
Hope your hump day is filled with FABULOUSNESS. Today is my e-Scape mini Stamp a Stack. Can’t wait. Let’s see how long I can stay away from the computer and phone. Ha ha ha ha ha. I just fell outta my chair laughing.
