Good news on the stamp set, too -- So Very Grateful is featured in my May Stamps in the Mail Club Kit!!
And if you pre-order your May

I wanted to share pictures from our most recent Card Ministry event at church. Every few months we gather to stamp cards that will be sent out for birthdays and anniversaries. We use 75-100 cards each month, so it's a tall order. But many hands make light work!
Cards for guys: Simply Sketched hostess stamp set (see Simply Sketched

New Ruffle Stretch Trim: So Sweet for Summer
Sometimes there's a fun embellishment that never makes it way off my stamping table -- it just sits here by my side because I use it just about every time I stamp. Right now, it's the new In Color Ruffle Stretch Trim (see it online with the In Colors).
Okay, truth be told, my stamping table is a mess, so there are quite a few things

Are the Cherries Ripe Yet? Yum!
My son has been asking for weeks if we could get corn on the cob. And I'd been putting him off, saying that it's just too early -- that's a summer treat. But it's official, summer must be here, since we had our first corn on the cob of the season this week. It was yummy, too! I'll admit, I wasn't too hopeful.
But it gives me one more

Spring is for the Birds. Elegant Birds.
Here's another project using the same set of supplies as yesterday's project, but with a whole different feel to the finished card. The finished card is square, and I've added the Elegant Bird die cut (see it online).
I like the bird with a bit of texture or a change in the paper for the wing, just to make it stand out. Like the

Mixing Up with Mixed Bunch & Blossom Punch
You might have noticed a few favorites if you scan the projects from my blog in the past couple of weeks. One of my favs is definitely the Mixed Bunch stamp set (from the Occasions Mini Catalog) and its coordinating Blossom Punch (see it online).
Another fav? The Simply Scored Scoring Tool (see it online) -- you can see the lines I

If Stamping is Fun, then Stamping with Chocolate is BETTER
When I go to someone's home for a Stampin' Up! party, I often plan two projects to share -- a quick & easy card, and a project using chocolate. Because stamping is fun, but stamping with CHOCOLATE is better! I have a number of "candy projects" in past blog posts, and here is another, using the Two Tags Die for the Big Shot. (see it

Happy Easter! Colors for Spring
Earlier this month I shared an Easter bonnet that we made at Stamp Club in April. I loved the flowers on the hat so much that I decided to use the same supplies to create a birthday card for my niece.
Since she's just turning 13, I had to include some 'bling' in the form of Rhinestones. The spring colors here are Baja Breeze, Melon
