I had a lot of fun making these cards today and will probably make more tomorrow. Super quick and easy, just how I like them. This is the card that got me started with this set of cards. I found a great card on Dawn O's blog and I loved it so much that I just had to case it using different paper. There was also a card sketch also that should a card like this, so I tried it this way and loved it too. I had a couple of downline promoting so they are getting this card. Such fun and easy cards…

Sharing a handmade card is a such a personal way to say thank you. I wanted to share a couple special thank you cards I received. I love their simplicity and how the designer paper makes such a powerful, artistic statement. From Denise Joye, one of my Stampin' Pretty Pals.

Furry Cat Designs: card making, stamping, and paper craft, with Karen Henderson - an independent UK Stampin' Up! demonstrator

Hello stamping friends! It's Saturday and time for another fantastic challenge over at Dynamic Duos! This week is "Black Tie" week where we take our fab duo of colors and add a "dessert" option to the mix. This week we mixed Marina Mist with Basic Black and added a snowman theme to the mix. "Dessert" is optional at Dynamic Duos, so if you want to play along with the colors without showcasing the snowmen, please do!
