Jill I am so sorry to hear this, as Pam says have faith and hope. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Here I am - I just can't commit to doing the swap this year. Things are a little crazy at work, so I've got less crafty time. And I am headed down to my daughter's next week to babysit for 5 days (there goes that weekend :lol: ) then it will be Thanksgiving and company and then soon after that my pa...

I had hoped to get one more sample made last night... but I had to go to Boot Camp and then afterwards I was too tired!
Here's your challenge!

For mine I used the sketch and then diagonally flowers-your choice (digi-hybrid card) - designer paper.

these are all fantastic Barbara! I too get the Catherine Pooler SOA boxes. I love them, like you say they are so well coordinated. I didn't get last years Christmas box but I did end up getting that background stamp earlier this year, it is fantastic for so many things!

I watched that video also and have some stamps in mind - so many things I want to try/do. So little time LOL

how did I miss this one? Those prints make for a very special card, your friend probably opened and closed it many times!

if only we could huh?

I just paid our last mortgage payment also! Isn't that great?!
But I did have a huge roofing bill to pay. But I shouldn't have to re-roof in my lifetime

I saw something similar on Catherine Poolers blog, then needed to use a NBUS stamp related to music for a Club Scrap Swap... so this is what I came up with! It's mostly blue

This one fits the Plums and Berries. The one dark color in person is a dark burgundy.

My box is almost the same, I got the gold pieces for Christmas though and besides the Christmas background stamp my stamp set is dog/cat sentiments. I really like all the alphabet stickers because I use those a lot. Love the fresh, clean Christmas papers! I'm happy with this box! It was soooooooo he...

Sounds like you had a great birthday... all month long!
Now you can sign up for Medicare

That mint set is really pretty, they had it at the LSS and I thinks it's beautiful.

I've never done this before. We will all have different stuff, right? I have NOTHING from Pinkfresh in my stash so it will all be new to me. I'm thinking we all may get similar but different? And I have NOTHING either and that's why I went with it, to get a "taste". Plus my Mom sent me so...

What great news! So happy for you both!

oh thanks Sue...
I ordered one, I've been looking at their stamps (seeing them on a lot of blogs) so I thought this would be a good way to check them out!
Happy Birthday to me
