Hello!
Our March Card Swap had 12 ladies participate! I thought that was fantastic, since we currently have 13 members!
Our next Stamper I will be showcasing is: Ann Sysel.
This card was also Ann's first attempt using the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig and I think it's beautiful!
Ann used the current Stampin' Up! stamp set called Heartfelt Thanks. This is one of my favorite two-step stamp sets.
The two tone colors she used were Pale Plum and Perfect Plum, of course Stampin' Up! colored card stock and classic ink which are in the Soft Subtle Family.
May all your flowers Bloom in real life like this one!
Lois
Hello Friends!
Our next March Card Swapper using the Two Step Stamp Technique is: Vicky Billero
Vicky has never attempted the two step technique, and she not only did an awesome job but she even made a 'shadow' under the green butterfly! WOO HOO!
You go girl!!!
Hope your Day is as happy as it can be!

Hello Friends,
Yesterday a good stampin' friend came over to play. We were working on a project I will share in the near future with you.
Kristi happen to mention her parents just celebrated their 40th Anniversary! WOO HOO!!! So I asked her for their address so I could send them the below card.
I used the Stamp set called: Baroque Motifs that can be found on page 112 in our current 2009 Spring Summer Catalog.
On October 4, 2008 I posted photos of those invitations, favors, place settings etc. using this same stamp set for my in-laws 50th Anniversary Party.
Have a great day!

You can see the pages much better without photos on them. Of course the finishing touch is placing just the right photos on each Scrapbook Spread for Keepsake Memories you will pass down from generation to generation.

These flowers were so easy to stamp and cut out and pop. Stamping directly on card stock is nice, but for a Special Effect, you really need to stamp, cut and pop, if you ask me:)
Happy Spring!

Hello Stampers!
Today we are Showcasing the creativity of: Wendy Nucci
Our Club Card Swap Technique for March was Two Step Stamping, using a Stamp Positioner (Stamp-A-Ma-Jig) if the stamper wished to.
Not only did Wendy do a beautiful job on the Two Step Technique but she made a very unique background using whisper white card stock, Stampin' Up! Craft Refill Bottles and our Sanding Block.
Each card she made had a 'different' look to it. They were all beautiful!
Wishing you all a wonderful day!
Lois
Hello Friends!
Too much of a GOOD thing is a GOOD thing! These pages do not have to be Valentine Pages, they can be LOVE Pages!
It was so much fun thinking of 10 Things About.... Sam & Billy. (Beagles)
Sammy Angel:
If you pull the tab that is above his 'little head' the list of TEN THINGS ABOUT SAMMY... are:
1. He's Loving
2. He's Mushy
3. He's Lazy
4. He LOVES his Family Very Much
5. He's a Great Sleeper
6. He has To share Mommy's chair
7. He's my shadow and follows me all over
8. He loves to EAT
9. He has a Little Head
10. He's a Cutie-Pie............. Don't you think!?!?!? :)
Billy Goat
We rescued Billy when he was 16 months old. He will be 5 years old in July 2009. He was horribly abused before we got him. (starved, beaten)
It took him 2 years before he really started to trust us. That is a long time, considering, I work part-time at home enjoying Stampin' Up! as a home base business which makes it possible to Hug & Kiss Billy (&Sammy)every time I see them. They relax in the living room while I'm in my office, and every now and then they check on me and I check on them:) Some days, Sammy sleeps under my feet, not to comfortable for me, but to hear him 'snore' makes it okay :)
Billy went through alot in the first part of his life, BUT, life is GOOD for him now, and we plan on making him happier and more secure each and everyday!
If you pull Bill's Tab, you would read....
Ten Things About Billy...
1. He's Crazy (in a silly way)
2. He's Lovable
3. He Loves the Outdoors
4. He's Beautiful
5. He has a Big Head
6. He's Our Protector
7. He has a hairy butt (he does for a beagle...LOL)
8. He's Daddy's Assistant Chief
9. He LOVES his Family Very Much
