Welcome to my Stamping Blog

Tomorrow is my annual Easter Treats card class and everyone is always excited to attend these specialty classes!  I finished designing the 3D projects and thought I'd share them with you!  I need to make a disclaimer now: Angie Juda was the inspiration for the matchbook treat and the box treat so I thank her for helping me figure out the measurements (in her videos!).The little box is 2 1/4" high after scoring (a 1" score line").  It was perfect for the new Ears to You single...

I'd been awake for an hour already ... so excited!  The car came to pick Marilyn (my upline) and I up at 5 a.m. and we were off! We arrived in Orlando midday on Thursday to 80° sunny weather!  That proved to be challenging in our uphill walk over the highway to Convention Center!  Wow again!  What a huge place!!  The weather...
