Sneak Peek of Stamp Fest

I decided to give you all a sneak preview of one of the cards that we will be making at Stamp Fest on October 10. I hope you like this card as much as I do. The picture definitely doesn't do it's justice. The ribbon just makes it look so elegant.

I still have a couple more spaces left for Stamp Fest and hope you can join us. We will be having lots of drawings for prizes from the catalog and there will be demonstrations and techniques that feature new products! If you are interested in coming, but aren't 100% positive you can make it, please still contact me at stampinginfaith@cescowildblue.com and let me know and I will count you in as a possibility. Enjoy!

Drop me an e-mail to let me know that you read my blog today and I will put your name in my basket for an upcoming drawing. The winner will receive a set of cards from Stamp Fest (if attending you will have two sets total). The drawing will be on Monday, October 5. Look for the winner!

Otherwise, you can use whatever stamps you have at home. They are available for $1 each or $1.50 each if you are long distance (includes the shipping). I have several of these available, please let me know if you are interested in multiples because they can be assembled together in one bag easier.
