New Cards

I just love this stamp set from the August kit of the month (Loads of Fun).  I had to use it when I was creating cards as Christmas gifts for my co-workers.  I was able to make 24 cards in two days, that's a first for me, it helped that I just made six of each card. 

Here is a card I just finished for a friends wedding.  I absolutely love the quality of the circle bliss background stamp.  It looks like printed paper, and there are so many options on how to use it. 

Winter Retreat

I had a wonderful time last weekend in Arizona being pampered by the generosity of Richard Garay.  I was privileged to be one of his first house guest in his gorgeous new home.  We enjoyed the fabulous views from his back porch and the opportunity to watch a movie under snugly blankets while eating fresh popcorn in his amazing movie theater.  In addition we created some amazing projects and of course ate and ate and ate.
All in all it was a wonderful time and I left refreshed and inspired.  There are amazing things in store with the company and I can't wait to be a part of all that is soon to come.  I look forward to an amazing new year and the opportunity to craft with new and old friends.
