Inkin with Val

Hello fellow stampers! I know, it has been forever since I posted... many of you have been worried, questioned and finally gave up... I am truly sorry. A little explanation. Last July, my one and only daughter became engaged. I was ecstatic! (still am by the way ;) John is a great guy!!!) We went through the whole wedding thing and I loved every moment of it, from shopping for the dress, making the invitations (yes of course!LOL) made the thank you gifts, the programs and still have the "thank you" cards to do... but alas... they are in Greece for a few days... breather for mom! So as you can see... I have been busy, maybe busier than I needed to be but since I only have one daughter, it was quite important to do it right! Hopefully I can keep up a bit now... I do have a few items to show you, but right now I want to point out that the " retirement list " is out. I have also found the retiring accessories list...but I have to work at getting it in a readable format....

Good Morning everyone, Just thought you all might like to see what we did on Club night this past week. Everyone had their own ideas for what they wanted to use the card for, so every card turned out different. This is absolutely fantastic as it shows the "Artistic License" that each individual has when stamping. This is exactly what I want to see when you stamp with me. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind direct copying if you don't have any ideas right at the moment, the idea of my classes is to "SPARK" your creativity so even if you copy and take it home and then use the idea for another project, I have reached my objective :) Here then are my samples that everyone used for their own creativity. (I even copied one of the gal's for the Christmas Tree one... ;) Thanks Debbie!) This is one of the new sets this year and I think I am in love with it. I ordered it for the Stampin' Up! pre-view prior to the new catalog coming out, but have only used it ...
