Christmas in July

I want to say a big "Thank You" to everyone that has sent their congratulations about the Artisan Award.  I'm still in shock over the whole thing and trying hard to remain calm until convention.  It's going to be a long couple of weeks!


Luckily, I still have several classes and tons of swaps to complete before I leave for Convention.  My next card class is "Christmas in July" featuring the new Chock Full of Cheer stamp set.

It's a Good Day

Last night around 8:30pm, Bella was sitting next to her daddy on the couch, playing games on my Iphone (which was on vibrate). He says "Take the phone to mommy, she's getting a call from Utah."


The next few minutes are a blur, as I found out that I am an Artisan Award finalist.  This is an amazing honor and I'm still in a bit of shock. 


Stampin' Up! will announce ten Design Team members at convention next month.  I'm sure the shock will turn into another round of pins and needles soon.  The lady on the phone said that all of the finalists projects will be on display at convention.  I absolutely can't wait to see them!  And I can't wait to share my projects with YOU!

For the Boys (Part 3)

Today I'm sharing the final card from the For the Boys Stamp-a-Stack.  This card features the I Dig You stamp set and is just perfect for little boys.


Dumptruck


Check out the crystal effects on the main body of the dump truck. It gives it a super shiny look!  I also cut out the main part of the truck and popped it up with dimensionals.


Dumptruckcu


I actually created 3 different cards using the stamp set, as it would be nice to have several of these cards on hand for little boy birthdays.  The card size is 3" x 3" which is wonderful to attach to any gift.


Trucks


I hope you've enjoyed all of the masculine cards.  Check back here on Friday and I'll have information on the SUMMER SCRAPBOOK CLUB.  You are going to love it!


Happy Stampin'
