Stampin’ Up!’s Stamp Set ‘ Sassy Salutations has been available for a couple of years and it has been on my wish list for that long, but for some reason it has never made it into my shopping basket! When I saw it was in the latest 2015 ~ 2016 catalog I knew it was a sign and this time it was one of the first stamp sets on my order!

Another Shower Card
Well would you believe a 4th baby card!! This time for a young couple who live in our old neighborhood and expecting their first child later in the summer. They had a baby shower last weekend and it was different from my previous baby shower experiences as spouses were also invited rather than being just a girlfriend get-together – a refreshing change.
This card is a little different from the others I have made…….
Footeling with Stampin’ Up! Goodies.
I had an honorary aunt, she was my Mum’s best friend, who had known me since I was about 6 years old, I always called her Aunt as a sign of love and respect and continued to do so even into my mid 50’s when we lost her.
She used to have an expression she called ‘footeling’ which basically was doing something without a clear direction or purpose….. but simply to do!
So …………………… I was footeling around with some of the new In-colors card, inks and punches the other day and came up with this card………..

Patriotic…… Happy Birthday
This is a card for the fellas in our lives. I usually struggle to make ‘guy-type’ cards and I don’t think I am alone in that. But I set myself a challenge a couple of months ago to do a class featuring 4 different designs of cards for our men-folk. Quite unconsciously this ended up as red, white and blue and since we shall be celebrating July 4th later this week I thought it was a perfect time to share.
Flowering Flourishes ~ Stampin’ Up!
Sometimes sad things happen in our lives or the lives of our family and friends. Just such an occasion happened this last week, I felt a hand-made card would just let them know I was thinking of them in their sadness but hoped they would overcome that sadness and enjoy them wonderful memories left behind.
Beautiful Bunch ~ Thank you
Every month I have a beautiful bunch of customers who come to my classes and order Stampin’ Up! products from me. I am very grateful for their support and enthusiasm and like to show that as often as I can. This usually take the form of a card but has also included book marks, decorated candy bars, treat boxes etc. This past May it was a card……………………

Happy Birthday !
The end of May saw my daughter-in-law celebrate a birthday, since it was 10 days after the arrival of her second daughter, the celebration was a low-key affair.
I had been using the Sheltering Tree stamp set a lot and I was drawn to the idea of making a birthday card with it.
