Thank you

I decided to show off the nice cards I've got in the mail recently. The first card is a birthday card I received from my Upline. She used a retired designer paper, Fall Flowers. I have to admit that I don't know the stampset she used.


This is so neat. I'm going to try this idea, my DH gave me an idea of how to make a Christmas card similar to this one.
This card here is the first Monday Mailer I got this month. Dacia made it for me. We are supposed to make cards using FAUX anything and she did Faux stitching. She used two of the new In-Colors, Pacific Point and Tangerine Tango. And the stamp set is Pick a Petal. I think her pattern turned out great!
This card here was the last Monday Mailer for July. We had to use Bold Brights on our cards. Carol made this card for me. She used the Embrace Life stamp set and the main color is Orchid Opulence. She stamped the image on Shimmery White card stock. It's so pretty.
Here's a card I got from Laura. She used the Tart and Tangy stamp set and Summer Picnic Designer paper. You can find directions on how to make this card HERE.
I've been meaning to try this fold myself, don't know if I'll be able to make a card as nice as Laura's though.
This card was made by Sharon, we swapped stamp sets a couple of weeks ago and she made me this beautiful birthday card using the set she got from me, Older and Wiser. Isn't the turtle cute!?! I love the way she folded the DP too.
Ann asked me to show the sketch I used from Take Ten. It's on page 26 in Take Ten Jun/Jul/Aug 2008 (Stampers' Sampler Take Ten). The cover is green. The sample on pg. 26 is made by Jen del Muro.
Well, I'm not showing you any of my cards today. That doesn't mean I haven't been busy stamping *lol*. Next weekend I'll show you Serene Spring. I've got the cards ready but you'll have to wait.
I finally got the new catalog this past Friday and I've looked through it about a hundred times. I love all the color combos they have in it and there are "a few" stamp sets I NEED. But I'm not going to get them all at the same time. I've already started thinking about Christmas cards so I'll get a couple of those, the ones I have retired this weekend (just my luck!). And did you know that SU is going to start selling Sizzix products? Yep, it's true! And I really like their dies! But you can't order those until September.
Here are some interesting links you might want to take a look at!
Well, I'm off to decide what to put in my first order from the new catty!
Until next weekend....
