CTMH - Some Mayberry Cards

I've joined a new group - The Delmarvalous Stampers.  We meet once a month; I'm SO excited to be a member!

Since the group meets at the Library, we do a public service in the form of cards - currently donated to Women Supporting Women.  Each member must make 20 cards per year.  I got started on mine before the first meeting and created 10 cards using the Mulberry papers.  Here are the first three:

Stamp sets used:

D1361 - Thanks a Bunch

A1118 - Hope for Japan

Inks: Smoothie and Cocoa

Check back tomorrow and Friday for more cards!

CTMH - Stamping by the Sea 2011 - as always SOOO much fun!

Another year of Stamping by the Sea is over, and as always, I'm sad to see it end!  Kathy and Joe at Seaside Stampin' Ink put on a great show with many vendors for shopping, lots of demos/make and takes and tons of classes throughout the weekend.

As always, Friday night kicked off with the Dessert Make and Take.  Everyone looked like they were enjoying themselves, and a special thank you to all who stopped at my table to make the "Hope" card using the charitable fundraiser set - Hope for Japan. 

Saturday and Sunday were filled with shopping, shopping and more shopping!  I really miss shopping this show as there are so many fantastic vendors there.  On the other hand, I get to meet so many people and share my love for Close to My Heart at this event. 

Meanwhile, all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday, there were classes running continuously!  I taught 2 classes - a Flip Flap mini album on Friday and the Sophia Card Workshop on the Go on Sunday. 

I'd like to thank everyone that stopped to see me at my booth or took a class with me this weekend.  You are all what make Stamping by the Sea such a fabulous and fun event for me! 

Here are a few photos from the weekend of my booth:

CTMH - Did you know....

that you can combine the March Promotion -- The Best Stamps on the Block -- with the "Hope for Japan" set?  If you spend $25 in stamps, you can choose either a 3" x 3" block or a 2" x 6 1/5" block free (just pay shipping on the block).  So if you purchase a D sized set plus the "Hope for Japan" set, you can get a free block.  The "Hope for Japan" set uses a 3"x3" block!  The "Best Stamps on the Block" campaign ends March 31st, though so hurry and place an order before month end.

Don't forget, 100% of the profits from the "Hope for Japan" set go to the American Red Cross for its efforts in Japan.  

CTMH - Hope for Japan

From now through April 30, 2011, purchase this special A size stamp set (A1118 - Hope for Japan) for just $5 and 100% of the profits will be donated to American Red Cross' efforts in Japan.  You can order it directly from my website, or you can add it to any order you're placing with me.
