Baby Thank You Notes

It was high time I got these done for my Daughter-in-Law (boy it feels strange to say that instead of son's Girlfriend, but really really cool) She was able to hand them all out and cross one more thing off her list.

I stamped these using

bashful blue cardstock
ballet blue cardstock
bashful blue classic ink
bashful blue stampin' write marker
Year after Year Stamp set
accessories: brads, punches, hemp and gingham ribbon

As you can see, the dark faux buttons were created using first the1/16"punch and cutting 2 holes, and then the 1/2" circle punch around them. This created a "button" look to accent the cards. Give it a try, maybe even emboss them first...

Stamper's Club Starting soon!

My clubs will be once again starting shortly. Sign up soon to reserve your spot. The catalogues are in so if you come by, sign up then you can HAVE the new catalogue in your hot little hands immediately. I will not have time in the next few weeks for a catalog reveal, so please email me to sign up. Here are some questions I've had about clubs over the years I've been offering them. What is a Club?

The club runs for seven consecutive months and each member commits to spending a minimum of $30 per month (before shipping/taxes) from choices in the catalogue(s). You make the projects for FREE each month. What are the benefits? You get a turn at being the hostess once in the seven month cycle and earn free hostess only benefits and stamp sets! What if I can't make it to club? No problem - Your project will be completed for you if you are unable to come - you just send...

Thinking Pink for a few minutes

A friend had a baby girl so I had an excuse to work with the pink colours for this card. Again it features the retired "Bundle of Joy" and I also used my cuttlebut for the textured hearts. The base of the card is Regal Rose and the accent is Pretty in Pink. Someone asked how I am getting my "watermark" on my photos. I am creating it each time I edit my photos so I am not really using a "watermark" as such. Difficult to explain because I don't really know what I am doing. I use Photoshop CS2...
