Hello Stampers!   As 2018 begins, we’ll need a new calendar to keep track of time. I created a variety of desk top calendars with note pads to give as gifts this holiday season. The one pictured here is for my husband who is an avid bike rider.

It’s quiet around here with everyone gone.   It’s time to begin saying good-bye to 2017 and planning for 2018. I offered a New Year class and we made this “blingy” card. I love all of Stampin’ Up!’s foil and glimmer paper, and I used most of it! The circle punches made quick work of this cute card, and the silver heat embossing just adds a little zing.   The Cheers to the Year stamp set and the Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper are both retiring. Be sure to...
