Ezra is now 7 and a half weeks old. It's a little strange to think about this, but we would be on an Alaskan cruise right now, (if he hadn't been born). Instead, Stampin' Up! deposited a tidy sum into my bank account, since I did earn the cruise and I am not able to go with a baby less than 6 months old:0), it's a cruise policy.
Here are just a few more cards I received from some sweet and thoughtful stampers I know. (Ann Marie Urban, Sue T, Marci Allen, Grace Fende)
Fox and Friends stamp set makes such a cute baby card! My friend Kristin Kortonick sent me this card after Ezra was born.
The Summer Mini is here! Some highlights include lots of fun new stamp sets, different colored embossing powders, a new embossing folder, TRIPLE layer punches!
Please let me know if you did not receive yours in the mail!
This card features "Oval All" stamp set, Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder, and some vintage trinkets, First Edition DSP (which is carrying over!), plus butterfly embosslit, pearls, and crochet trim. It's very close to a sample I saw in the Occasions Mini catalog. This would make a great wedding card.
My Aunt Karen sent me this card in a stack of cards I earned a while back for being in the top 3 in sales in her downline. The watercolored pansies are made from two punched out butterflies. Awesome technique!

Gina Thornton, one of my Philly Inkers, made this card for a swap. I like how there are so many things about it that say "vintage." (The image she chose, the "Sanded" background stamp she used, and the distressed edges and sponged ink.) Such a lovely card!
This card is a case of a card by my Aunt Karen, which I saw on her Splitcoast Gallery. I love the colors! So much texture to this card too, don't you think?

This sweet card is from Aunt Karen, who send me a box of goodies for the boys last week.
When I opened the box of goodies and found the card I noticed there was no bow, just a strip of ribbon behind the train. The reason I noticed is because if you know Karen Barber, you know she uses bows on most of 99.9% of her cards. For a minute I thought she might have skipped the bow because sometimes I comment on them. (Like one time I saw a bow with four layers of ribbon, and I called it the bow on steroids)...so I was beginning to think she thought I didn't like bows and left it off this card on purpose....but then I continued to go through the box of goodies and lo and behold, I found the bow, which somehow escaped from the envelope in transit. (I was kind of wondering why there was a sticky spot on the card:0) Thanks for the sweet card, Aunt Karen!
