Welcome to the August Stamp of the Month Blog Hop! This month we are featuring Framed, a set of 12 stamps - three frames and nine sentiments! If you have come here from Judy Burger's Blog , you are on the right path! The blog hop is a great big circle, so you can start here and work your way around. If you get lost along the way, you'll find the complete list of participating consultant's HERE . This set actually coordinates with our newest Cricut Collection - Artistry.  When I first saw this stamp I thought SUNBURST CARD!  I love it when an idea comes together so quickly!   I used Whimsy Paper Fundamentals Cardstock for this card. I alternated using the front and back sides.  Since the Glacier Extra Thick Twine really IS extra thick, instead of wrapping it around the card, I used our mini stapler to attach it to the card!  I love using the stapler this way! This is the card I will be teaching in my Technique Tuesday Class. Fo...

July is a month full of birthday's in my family - two of my sisters have birthdays!  With convention earlier this month and then a frenzy of planning once I got home, these birthdays about slipped away before I realized it!  I had to put away my new stuff and concentrate on the 2 upcoming birthdays. First I'm sharing the card I created for my sister Suzan. Today is her birthday! Although we live in the same town our lives have been so busy we don't see each other that often.  She is a new grandmother so I'm sure that every spare moment she has, she is spending time with her adorable little grandson.  I don't blame her... he is such a cutie with chubby cheeks that makes you want to smooch all over him!    For this card, I pulled out my Brushed paper pack and my Lovely Birthday stamp step.  It was fun coloring the flowers with my ShinHan Touch Twin markers.   I love the Brushed Paper!  This paper pack, the pink glitter gems an...

Yesterday my youngest daughter turned 20!  The other night my husband noted that very soon we would no longer have a teenager in the house.  Boy, that felt weird..... after all these years.  Makes me feel just a wee bit old.   But, really I'm enjoying the age both my daughters have become.  Both beautiful young ladies that I really love spending time with. For my daughter's birthday card I chose to use the special Hostess Only Stamp "Better With a Friend" . This is so Kayli.  She loves dogs and actually I think she wanted one for her birthday but we already have a dog in the house that thinks he is human.   We sure don't need another one! When I started the card, I couldn't decide what colors to use so I went to check out the challenge blogs to see if there was something that would help me out.  I chose the color challenge from the Just Us Girls Challenge blog - Turquoise, Red and Gold.   I used cardstock from our Paper Fundam...
