Have a peek here for the sale items and then let me know before the 30th (early enough, as the order site will be very very busy) and I can add your items to my order that is going in. May is National Scrapbooking Month, and May 7th is National Scrapbooking day... Do you have plans yet for either the month or specifically for the 7th? Have you started Digital Scrapbooking? did you know that Stampin' Up! offers their download products for "other" programs? If you are digital scrapbooking and love the Stampin' Up! products, you can purchase individual items and use them with your current program.

Hello everyone, I am finally back after the wedding festivities and preparations. I have been stamping off and on... Last month, this stamp set "Wonderful You" was on special. I wasn't going to indulge in anymore stamp sets until I have sold off some of my "retired" sets first. Well, one of my great clients was more than gracious and allowed me to use her set when it first arrived. I needed a card for my daughter's birthday so this is what I came up with. After that (and a few more card trial and errors) I knew I had to have this set... Enjoy! Oh yes, I also used my cuttlebug on the base of the card.

Today is our Japanese student's birthday. We had a great celebration with her and a guest, including some major "baby" time where everyone got to hold Addison. She loved her gifts and was especially thankful for a home-made card. I can't say this is my own design as I copied it from a sample received in a swap when this set was in the mini catalog. But I have added a few of my own touches. Enjoy!
