This & That Birthday
The subtle elements in this card really catch the eye. Mary Fish did a fabulous job with the design. I used brads on my initial design as I waited with anticipation of the new Candy Dots from the 2013-2014 Annual Catalog. They immediately became my favorite-got-to-have-them-in-every-color products.

A Wish with Clout
I used this card as a make & take at a crop I attended last Friday evening. The ladies loved making it. It is just a very classy card filled with meaning. I hope it will brighten the day of the recipients. We also made this card at my June Stamp Camp.

Red Lobster
OK so this may not be a lobster but I'm sure they serve it at their restaurant. This is one of the finest stamps I have ever used. The crisp detail stamped beautifully and I got soooooo excited to see it. The new foam ink pad made this Cherry Cobbler urchin come to life.
This is the last of my May Stamp Camp cards. I'm working very hard and getting farther behind.

By the Tide
I received this card as a swap at the St. Louis Regional event held in March. The person who made it did not put her name on the back so I can't give her the credit she is due.
We made this card at my May Stamp Camp and I sent this to my brother, Bill for his birthday.

Rev Up the Fun
A few weeks ago I took a weekend road trip to the prairie with my peeps to visit my upline, Pam D'Urso in Mahomet, IL. We always have such a great time together and I always learn an abundance of tricks and techniques when I'm with them. We had a shoebox exchange and the theme was to create a one-layer card. This was a super challenge for me as I'm a layer gal. Love those layers!
Anyway, this card was designed by Sally Nusbaum. I was anxious to use the new Rev Up the Fun stamp set so I adapted her card to make it my own (so to speak). I created 7 masks and used purple painters tape to navigate through the sponging process. Each mask was labeled and numbered to make this card super easy for my customers.
This a great card for any Harley Guy.
Watch for my shoebox card in a few weeks. (I'm holding out as it is going to be featured at my July Stamp Camp.)

Polka Dot Parade
Any color of the Polka Dot Parade Designer Paper Series will make this adorable card fit for any occasion. I happened to use Rich Razzleberry as a (belated) birthday card for my peep, Kathy B. I also sent it to my dear friend Laurie S. who has been unwell and is in my prayers daily.
