Hello Stampers!These are the cards we made last Friday while I was in Minnesota stamping with my mom and her friends. I wanted something easy, quick, and fun. I think I was successful!

His birthday was July 24, Utah's Pioneer Days celebration. We joked that they held a parade in his honor! This is the card my friend and...

Hello Stampers! I'm still reveling in the aftermath of Stampin' Up!'s Inspire. Create. Share. convention in Salt Lake City. It's been completed for more than a week now, but there is still a lot to process and remember! I'm also working on cards for upcoming classes, for Make-a-Wish Monday and for a party for mom's friends next week. It's all so much fun! Here is another swap card I created for convention. It features the Build a Birthday photopolymer set (138646), the Scallop Tag Topper Punch, the Washi Label punch and a the Polka Dot and Stars embossing folders. Enjoy!
