Mini Monogram Bag Box Set

My second UStamp project has posted!  I always like to have little "love" notes on hand for a quick thank you, gift card or just a note and this is the perfect little set for that.  It's a quick and easy project that packs a powerful punch!  I hope you enjoy it.

You can find step-by-step instructions for this and over 40 other projects over at Ustamp with Dawn and Friends.  Come on over and join us!

UStamp Accordion Notecard Holder

It's been awhile and for that I apologize, but I have a VERY good reason (at least for the last two weeks)!  My wonderful hubby is home for a visit!  He lives/works overseas and we haven't seen him since January 13.  The kids and I have been so excited to have him home and have been spending as much quality time with him as possible before he leaves tomorrow.  We will see him again at the end of the year when we take our New Year's cruise.  Skype makes it bearable and the time flies when we get to see and speak to him every day, but it's still six months between real live hugs and kisses.

On to today's project.  Once again, I am designing for the fabulous UStamp!  This session is called "Keep Calm and UStamp On".  As usual, this wonderful online class is FULL of fabulous talent with wonderful projects.  My first project (I've designed two) is an Accordion Notecard Holder with coordinating note cards. 

If you would like a full step-by-step pictorial PDF tutorial for this and all the other fabulous projects come on over to UStamp and join us!!! 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Until next time ... Happy Stamping!!!

MDS Hybrid

My neighbor's son is 7 today.  He is just the cutest little guy.  He made it a point to come over and ask me to be sure to attend his birthday party.  His mom said he usually doesn't take to people like that, so how could I resist!  He has also fallen in love with my daughter who is now his "official" babysitter LOL.  I needed a quick card for him so I opened up My Digitial Studio and went to work.  I then printed out my card front on some photo paper, mounted it onto card stock and voila!  My card is complete!

New Products

I was a little late putting in my initial order from the new catalog *GASP* (pesky surgery!) and am anxiously awaiting Mr. Brown as I type!  My boxes are "out for delivery" and are scheduled to be delivered by close of business today.  Unfortunately, my house is usually at the end of my driver's daily route!  Talk about pins and needles!  As soon as my delivery is here I will be ripping into those boxes and getting busy!  I promise to have something fun to show you tomorrow (or maybe even tonight if I can't sleep heehee).

Betsy's Blossoms For You

Although I've been quiet on the blog front, I've been busy on the home front!  I am happily participating in the 2012 edition of VC Rocks, busy creating for the next UStamp event and swapping.  Oh yeah, I'm also maintaining a household :)  Some stuff I can share, others will have to wait ... for now.
Today I have a swap card I created for a New Catalog WOW swap.  I'm very pleased with the card and I hope the swap hostess and participants like it as well!  I CASED a card that I saw on Stamp TV by GinaK.  As soon as I saw her card I knew that I had to use Betsy's Blossoms to recreate it! 

As usual, I finished the inside of my card (sorry about the blurry photo -- not sure what happened there).  There's quite a bit of new product on this card.  Don't you just love it??!!

The New Catalog Is Here!!!

Have you seen it?  The new catalog, that is ... oh my goodness!!  I have to say that it is absolutely AMAZING!  My wish list is longer than I am tall!  If you'd like to see what all the fuss is about, check it out by clicking below.  You won't be disappointed! 

If you'd like to place an order from this fabulous new catalog or are in the New Braunfels or surrounding area and would like to host a workshop, please contact me! 

My doctor finally released me from all restrictions yesterday and I'm hoping to get upstairs and stamp as soon as I get my house back in order.  The kids were fantastic about helping out when I was recuperating, but it's just not the same as doing it yourself :)

Thanks for stopping by today and until next time ... Happy Stamping!
