Many Manly Occasions

Hello stampers!

As I write this post, it has FINALLY stopped raining here!  What a gloomy and chilly stretch of days we've had here!  Not spring-like at all!!!

**My open house is this Saturday from 1-4.  Stop by for your copy of the new catalog, see some of the new products, see some samples, and make a card!  Everyone that stops by leaves with some goodies and a chance to win free product!

Monday brightened significantly when I ran out to get the mail and found my Paper Pumpkin had arrived!  Woohoo!!!  This month's kit has a great stamp set appropriate for all the men in your life..and I know we all need "men stamps".  Mostly following the kit directions, here are a couple of cards I made up.  It doesn't really show up in the photo, but for the "Father's Day" card, I sponged some Crumb Cake ink over the cut out design.
