Hello stamping friends!!
Edited: This card made the Top 3 at The Squirrel and Fox Challenge!! :-)
Well, it is Spring Break for the kids so that means we are going on vacation! It's so hard to go anywhere now with both kids in school - I hate to take them out of school unless they are sick. So we are heading to Tennessee to visit my in-laws. My Father-in-Law starts Chemo on Monday so I hope we aren't going to be in the way. We did move our trip up a few days so we can spend some time with him before his chemo treatment. We are praying that the chemo will kill all of the cancer cells, but not have any major side affects.
We will be back on the 23rd. Therefore, any orders received at Stamp and Create will ship out when we return.
In the mean time, let's celebrate Spring Break with a Sale at Stamp and Create!
Take 10% off your whole order when you use discount code spring (all lowercase) at check out.
The sale runs from March 16th-23rd.
How about some stamping inspiration to hold you over for a few days?
I made card for my In-Law's 51st wedding Anniversary on Wednesday...
This is the adorable Sister and Brother from Magnolia (yes, I know it's supposed to be a sibling image, but it works for an anniversary card). I am currently out of stock of this image, but I have a few Cuddly Siblings instock that's very similar. The papers are My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline Dolled Up along with some pewter pearls, adage ticket, check ribbon, Bow Easy, Romantic Lace DooHickey from Magnolia, and Pennant Banner Die from Whimsy Stamps.
The sketch is from Made Especially for You
The image was stamped in Stampin' Up Basic Brown onto Watercolor paper and watercolored with Twinkling H2Os...
On the inside, I stamped Lovely Balloons and the main image again...
The little punched hearts are from the Romantic Lace die.
This card is also for the following challenges:
Try it on Tuesday: Wonders in Watercolor
Stampin' Sisters in Christ: Use Dark and Light colors
The Squirrel and the Fox: Love
Thanks for stopping by! Happy stamping!
