This is the completed announcement card with my precious Great Neice!!
Also I have included a picture of how I signed the back of the cards using one of the SAB sets. The set I used is Vintage Labels. I love the idea of putting my name in the center like I did here. Comments are always welcomed!!!


I want to thank Linda one of my downline for so much help on my blog today!! Linda is here in Tucson visiting her daughter and grand daughter. She lives out of state so when I found out she was here we made plans! So, today she helped me with my blog and then we got to stamp too!!! Helping with my blog was not part of the pan for today! As you can see she knows how to make blogs look awesome! What fun! Enjoy the pic we took after I took her back to her daughters house!! Wish you could have joined us Jen!!!

Scallop Card for February Hostess Club



I started with a 8 1/2 by 11 inch cardstock, cut that in half to make a regular size card then I put that cardstock on the clear scallop square die and then ran it thru my Big Shot. I have included a few pictures to see the other steps. Enjoy! My club members loved this idea! Please feel free to comment!

Thursday Tip Talk # 2


My tip this week is just by changing the theme and color of a project makes it much easier than to come up with a whole new idea for the same project. Those cupcakes toppers in yesterdays post have now become this idea for my nephews wife baby boy shower. I will have my sister Nancy take a picture for me to post here in my blog. The baby shower is in Iowa so I can’t go. Glad I could help out in what I love to do from long distance…. create fun stampin ideas!!!

Next weeks tip: Organizing paper scraps! Alot of my customers have loved this tip! I can’t wait to share next Thursday!
