Stamp A Stack

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted, but life has been very busy. I'm still working on the 350 wedding invitations, went to the Minneapolis Regionals, rearranging my dinning room into a craft room, had some things to finish up for a scrap group that I'm part of, and finally planning for a last minute stamp-a-stack for this Saturday for 5 people. It's going to be 5 of 5 for $30. Here are my mock ups, but I need some advise as to if they are sufficient or not. Like I said it was last minute, so my supplies were very limited, especially where accessories were concerned. And as a result that are very little, almost no, accessories. But it is my first time designing cards with DSP. Any feedback would be appreciated. Recipes will be posted later.

Thanks for stopping by!

Goody Goody Gumdrops

Here is another sample I made for a swap on SCS. But as time comes closer to the Minneapolis Regionals, I might just have to use these for my swaps there and then I would have 10 more days to come up with new swaps for my SCS swap.

paper: whisper white, tango tangerine, ridinghood red
ink: tango tangerine, ridinghood read, baja breeze, kiwi kiss, stazon
accessories: scalloped edge punch, 1/2" circle punch, crystal effects, ridinghood red ribbon

Wedding Invitations

Some people have asked to see the wedding invitations I have made. The first was for my sister. The back cover was the RSVP that was perferated and stamped with watercolor vine wheel. The second picture is of the coordinating Thank You note.





This what I made for my brother and it's a little folder. I have included pictures of both the inside and outside. Right now I can't find the coordinating Thank You note. If I find it, I will post it later.




Finally, this it the invitation that I am currently working on making 350 of. The coordinating Thank You note was posted in a previous post, also using Wonderful You and the Note Top.




If you have any questions about the specifics, feel free to email me.

Thanks!

Kitten Update

We finally have a name for the kitten, Oliver. Oliver finally came out from under my bed yesterday when I got home from work, after I laid on the floor staring at him for like ten minutes. Since then, I don't think he has returned to under the bed and is very active. He "slept" with me last night, but this really entailed walking all over me and leaving claw marks on my back and chest. I don't think he's eaten or used his litter box, which does worry me some. We have a vet visit next Monday.

The UPS Man

I used to love when the UPS man came to deliver my Stampin' Up! goodies, but look what he brought me today! (Actually, I think my UPS deliverer is a female.) Somehow within the next month I'm supposed to turn this into 350 wedding invitations!!

New Kitty

My condo association just recently changed its bylaws and I am now able to get a cat. So here he is!! There is no name yet, I'm letting TC decide that.
