Country Livin' Birthday

Hi everyone!

My nephew celebrated his birthday last week.  And I made a card for him.....about a month ago.  I set it aside, so proud of myself that I was "ahead of the game".  Well, I woke up on the morning of his birthday and had a thought.  Yep, you're right -- I never mailed his card!  I'm sure he's received it by now (better late than never, right?), so I'm ready to share it with you!

Lovely Birthday

Hello stampers!

It's a big weekend coming up!  My very talented sister is coming to town to help me can tomatoes.  Friday evening many of us are getting together for dinner at our house and fireworks (weather permitting).  I'm very excited and looking forward to seeing everyone!

Then next week, I will have the blog on auto pilot as it is unlikely I will feel much like posting for a couple of weeks.  I hope you enjoy all the projects I have to share - and I'll be sure to let you know when I am back "live."

Meantime, it's time for a really cute card from my previously mentioned very talented sister.  I would love to know how she comes up with some of these ideas!  Let's take a look!

Watermelon Wonder Birthday

Hi everyone!

I hope you had a good weekend!  Mine was outstanding!  I had lunch with my cousin and my brother on Friday, enjoyed some gorgeous spring weather while running errands on Saturday, and met a woman that organizes craft shows locally on Sunday.  A wonderful weekend from beginning to end!

In a few short weeks, Stampin' Up! will announce the list of products retiring June 1, 2017.  Among those will be the 2015-2017 In Colors.  When that happens, the hoarders will snatch up dozens of stamp pads, refills, cardstock, markers, and embellishments in those colors.  We all know they are retiring.  But, what many don't realize is that once the retiring products are announced, those products are not replenished when their stock is depleted.  So, if you want refills, extra cardstock or other 2015-2017 In Color products, order now so you don't miss out!

As a reminder, here are the 2015-2017 In Colors.

My card today features one of the 'soon to be retired' In Colors, Watermelon Wonder and my favorite stamp set from the Occasions Catalog!
