Things to Know TODAY!~ :)

First of all, HAPPY WEDNESDAY! :) (I'm starting to lose track of what day of the week it is. LOL!)

Second, today is the LAST DAY to sign up for MY PAPER PUMPKIN and get the first two months for HALF OFF! Just use the coupon code of HALFOFF2! (I joined! I couldn't pass that special up! :D ) TODAY ONLY, September 10. Last chance!! And don't forget to designate me as your demonstrator. :D

Second:

It's not too late to sign up to be a hostess and still get an invitation to this year's HOSTESS-ONLY APPRECIATION LUNCHEON! You will receive a private invitation, I will make you a lunch that's totally scratch-made, you'll make two projects we'll never do anywhere else, AND there are door prizes!

If that's not enough incentive, Stampin' Up! is currently running a special for hostesses!! If you go here, it's the first promo on the page - a really cool extra stamp set for free until October 31! AND it will qualify you to come to the luncheon! Check your calendar and email me NOW!!!!!!!!!

Happy Fourth!

Kenn's using the cameras to go shoot the fireworks, so it's going to be some time before I can get the birthday cards ready to judge. I apologize - we're down TWO cameras, so it's really difficult right now.

However, I DO have something to share! :) This is one of the two cards we did for the NEW IDEA BOOK & CATALOG OPEN HOUSE on Thursday.

This is the front; I really wanted this hostess-only set from the Summer Mini, so it's what I chose for my last party. :) It's called LOVE & CARE; it reminds me of a set we had a few years ago. :)

So, here we go - and a picture of the inside of the card follows, too!

Card stock and classic ink colors (both pads and Stampin' Write markers): Bashful Blue, Real Red, and Crumb Cake

Stamp set: Love & Care

Accessories: Fancy Fan Letterpress Plate, Big Shot, Scallop Trim Border Punch, Dimensionals and Snail Adhesive


Here's the inside of the card....

I made a few more of these with the extra I had cut; when I stamped the flowers in the corners on the inside, I second- and third-generation stamped them, so there are three faint flowers overlapping in each corner.

I hope you are a little inspired! Be sure and take the time to stamp today - I AM!! :D
