The particular set used here was Snow Swirled...one of my favorites. Send me an e-mail or a comment and let me know if you are ready for Christmas cards!! If so, I will put more on the blog. Enjoy!

More Organization

More organizational pictures. This one can be focused on the top part which is a trough for ribbon. In the picture, the lid is up (comes down) and you can set the rolls of ribbon in with the ends trailing or you can pull the roll out as needed. It is the best thing that I have found for keeping rolls of ribbon organized. Enjoy!

Organization

Often, friends ask me how I organize my stamp room. I do have a very handy husband who helped me out in this area. I have included a picture of my punch and stamp pad organization. Both were created by my husband. The stamp pad holder is attached to the wall and has 9 sections to it. I try to keep the first four sections for the 48 standard pad colors -- 4 groups of 12 and then the others hold my neutral colors, retired colors, and versamark and white/vanilla craft pads. Above which can't be fully seen is my ribbon holder. I will post another picture tomorrow showing that better. Enjoy!

Serene Spring

Happy Easter to all of you! Hope you all enjoy your day. The card featured for today is uses the set Serene Spring. It was a hostess set in the last catalog. The card uses the retired designer series paper, Georgia Peach. Keep in mind though, that any designer paper can be substituted.
The scalloped edge cardstock is Always Artichoke. I hope you all have had time to play around and make your own creations for spring. Enjoy!

Refuge and Strength

I am back! We had a FABULOUS time; although, it does feel good to be home too. Many of you haven't claimed your BINGO prizes. The prizes are available if you check your cards and let me know that you won. I am not going to hunt you down for your FREE stuff though. So, if you have friends that have a BINGO card, please tell them to make sure they checked it. You have until April 30, to claim your prizes.

I am excited because I have given out many prizes this month in the Sale-a-Bration BINGO and also to those who are in hostess club and had a $40 order last month. They received a FREE Blender Pen as a part of their FREE coupons that they received for the year. I love to give away things!

Don't miss out on the April special that Stampin' Up! has to offer...place a $40 order from the Mini Occasions Catalog and get a FREE item (up to $10) from Page 208 in the Idea Book & Catalog!

Our featured card for today is from the set Refuge and Strength. It is a simple, easy, and nice looking card to make. The colors used were So Safron and Certainly Celery. I like the rounded corners at the bottom because it enhances the card a bit. Enjoy!
