First I want to say sorry for the lack of posts of late.  We've been quite busy rearranging/redecorating our family room/stamp space.  PLUS sending our son off to Army Basic Training (Fort Leonard Wood, MO)!  Here is a photo taken the night before he left (excuse my lack of makeup).

This is my version of the card featured on page 203 of the current catalog.

Happy Flowers (hostess) and Sweet Essentials stamp sets: Wild Wasabi and Wisteria Wonder inkpads and cardstock; Daffodil Delight Chevron ribbon; Honeycomb TIEF; Circles Collection framelits; Wisteria baker's twine.  Pearl Basic Jewels.

These were a couple of my convention swaps this year and my club members will be making them in August.

Cycle Celebration stamp set; Birthday Basics DSP (my favororite this year!); Bermuda Bay and Crisp Cantaloupe inkpads and cardstocks; Deco Labels Collection framelits; Perfect Polka Dots and Stripes TIEFs; Mini brads.

I have updated a purse project from a few years back that is very similar to my mini purse cardholder.  This version will hold larger cards (6 of our 3-1/2" x 5" notecards and envelopes).  I used just one sheet of DSP and some additional coordinating products.

This version uses retired DSP but I will be making some more using current DSP for an upcoming class.

I'm at convention but thought I'd let you know that I have posted the instruction sheet for this project on the instruction sheet tab.  Also-if you'd like a project kit I have a few available (the kits include all the pre-cut/scored pieces for class).  Email me privately for this option and I'll get back to you after I get back.

I'm leaving for convention tomorrow but wanted to let you know that I have added the instruction sheet for this project in the instruction sheet tab.

This version of the purse was made using Gingham Garden DSP.  I made the flowers out of our new Simply Pressed Clay and the Blossoms Simply Pressed Clay mold.

This card will also be one of my card swaps for convention.

Cycle Celebration Stamp set; Marina Mist ink and cardstock; 1/8" Mini Brads; Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack; Ovals Collection and Labels Collection Framelits; Alphabet Press TIEF.

Gingham Garden DSP; Pear Pizzazz cardstock; Blossoms, 1-1/8" Scallop circle, 7/8" Scallop Circle, Decorative Label, Itty Bitty Shapes, Elegant Butterfly, Bitty Butterfly and Blossom punches;  Perfect Polka Dots TIEF;  Rhinestone Basic Jewels.

Sketched Birthday stamp set; Birthday Basics DSP; Bermuda Bay inkpad and cardstock; 1-3/4" Circle and Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punches.

A very simple card using our Polka Dot Parade DSP in Pumpkin Pie.  It would look good in any of the colors contained in the pack of papers.

Sassy Salutations stamp set; Elegant Butterfly punch and Itty Bitty Shapes punches; Retired Pumpkin Pie Satin ribbon.
