Judy’s Birthday
My good friend & peep Judy Sumner had a birthday and I made this card for her. I managed to deliver it to her a day early when our Pieces of Heart Demonstrator Group met for our monthly dinner. I absolutely love the Print Poetry Paper Stack. It has some beautiful prints that coordinate so well together. Perfect for layering—all 14 of them just on the front—but who’s counting?

Penny-Farthing
The old British Penny and Farthing (quarter & penny) coins inspired the name of the Penny-Farthing bicycle. I never really knew that. Looked it up on my go-to Wikipedia. This card is the second in my Sale-a-brations series using the awesome Feeling Sentimental set. I’m just not sure how I am going to be able to live without this set when it retires in just a few weeks.

Happy Birthday Susan
Susan Field is a fellow Stampin’ UP! demonstrator who has been the pilot on several road trips to various Stampin’ UP! events. I, am (affectionately) known as the nagigtor and serve as her co-pilot. Susan’s birthday is tomorrow and I put this card in the mail to her. A lovely person deserves a lovely card. Happy Birthday Susan and may you be blessed with many more to come!

June Cleaver
The dress on this adorable card reminds me of a dress June Cleaver might have worn while vacuuming the den.

Diva Jeans
This is the Top Pick from Saturday’s stamp camp just as I thought it would be. I mean, what Stampin’ Diva would not love it? Or part with it? I had to make several so that I could keep one in my stash to cherish. It is such a cute card and fun to make too.
