The Papillon Potpourri stamp set is on special this month as part of a bundle that includes the Bitty Butterfly punch.  I also used the Million & One stamp set.

Coastal Cabana ink and cardstock; Eastern Elegance DSP: Deco Labels Collection and Circles Collection Framelits.

I wanted to send Conner a handmade card while he is at Basic Training but had to keep it very masculine so he wouldn't get flak about it.  This is what I came up with…Inspired by the Army logo.

  The inside view…

A card made using our new Circle Card Thinlits die.

Bermuda Bay, Crisp Cantaloupe and Crushed Curry inks and cardstock; Birthday Basics DSP

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.
