AUGUST 1st!!
This SWEET Scrapbook Page caught my eye at Stampin' Up!'s Convention and made me smile. I like the simple layout that keeps the focus on the darling picture!!
2,243,045 handcrafted cards have been deployed to our Troop by Operation Write Home since 2007! Thanks a million to all the gals that STAMPED 353 cards for TROOPS on Saturday and increased that number! You were a very productive bunch! I'm sorry my memory failed me remembering the number of cards we made last year. (I had it nowhere in my file or blog - darn.)
Extra thanks goes to Helen Rivera, our "military Mom", who is paying the postage to mail our 2 boxes of cards to OPERATION WRITE HOME!! Donating all supplies, this was my service project for the year and we'll do it again next year, God willing! Information on Operation Write Home click HERE.
to the Stampin' Up! Convention attendees who came up to me and commented on my 2 year old BLOG! I sure appreciate knowing you are out there in BLOG-A-SPHERE! You are the best! I strive to make my blog better each month! Please share me with your friends!
Happy Creating!

At this moment, I'm at Stampin' Up!'s 25th Anniversary Convention in Salt Lake City swapping this card!!! I made 167 of these - it's really difficult for me to make the same thing over and over. I get soooo BORED! But, that being said, I LOVE to swap and get back 167 DIFFERENT styles and color combos and designs!!!
These colors are Strawberry Slush, Smokey Slate, Basic Grey, and Basic Black. I'm IN LOVE with the 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim!!!

Rubber Stamps make great gifts for crafty friends. Stamps come in a wide range of prices, too. Here is an Ala Carte (or single stamp) that I'm giving as a gift.
I used the NEW Pansy Punch to punch out multiple layers of the Creped Filter Paper. I stacked, pierced, and "bradded" the Filter Paper! Hey - that's a new craft term: bradded! Then I scrunched the layers and lightly sponged on color. I LOVE these fluffy flowers!
Try one of these flowers yourself!!
