The Adventure Begins
Masking and sponging are a blast. I made 4 masks for this card, used purple masking tape, post-it notes and patiently sponged this amazing scene. I'll be using this card as a graduation card but there are plenty of occassions that would fit. My stamp camp customers really enjoyed seeing the design come to life and seeing the crisp line when the tape was removed.

Hello My Friend
The colors and patterns in the It's My Party Designer Series Paper Stack are so delightful. Their fun and energizing designs fit any celebration. Using strips of the various schemes will preserve your stash. You know I'm a paper hoarder so this is very important to me.
Finally & you know it. I'm listening to Neil Diamond as I write this post:
♫ Hello my friends hello
I just called to let you know
I think about you every night
When I'm here alone
And your there at home
Hello ♫

Time to Chill
This adorable card could be used for a variety of winter purposes. It features the adorable Penguin from the Snow Place stamp set. We love the penguins here in St. Louis at our fabulous zoo so this card really celebrates our home town. If your not from this area and visit the St. Louis Zoo during the summer, the Penguin and Puffin Coast is the place to go to chill out as it is kept at 45 degrees year round. Watch for another tribute to our Zoo in the soon to be published 2016 Calendars.
The inside greeting is from the retired classic Many Merry Messages stamp set from 2006.

The summer is here and the temperature outside makes me want to relax on a beach, read a good book & sip on something cool. OK its a nice thought but not realistic. So I'll just stay home in the cool air and make a card that reminds me of a beach. Be real & stay cool!
