INSPIRED BY NATURE – CASE – BLOG CANDY AND CALL OUT FOR HELP

I am very proud to announce,  I have become the lead for one of the Ronald McDonald houses here in Portland

I am going for a tour next week and have been chatting with my contacts about what I as a Stampin Up demonstrator can contribute and how we as a stamping community can help them.

Well, they e-mailed back with a request yesterday, AND I NEED YOUR HELP

They need Thank you cards.

thank you cards for the kids to send

thank you cards for the parents of the sick kids to send

thank you cards for the staff to send

so, while you are stamping this week, if you could slip in a couple of extra cards for this worthwhile cause, they would so appreciate it.

you can mail them to me as I will now be making very regular trips over there.

If you can help, please e-mail me for my address.

and THANK YOU

Ok, next.  I Cased Jennifer McGuire:  she is one of the staff over at (another stamp company) and she did a card a few weeks back, that not only made me go buy the stamp she used, I decided to recreate it myself.

as you can see, I used the grass from Inspired by Nature.  I was working on the February tutorial which is our Watercolor Wonder Crayons, so what I did was "direct to rubber".  I colored my stamp, spritzed it a couple of times with water, then stamped it onto a piece of watercolor paper.  I think I used Old Olive and Taken with Teal for this one, doesn't it give a cool effect to the grass, I love it.

you can check out Jennifer's card here.

AND

You all take such good care of me.

Yesterday I did the 10 minute or less challenge with my buddy CaroleAnne.

Mr. Nasty won, and it took me 23 minutes, and I was so stressed out, I put the wrong year on my page.

thank you for all your e-mails pointing out my little boo boo, including my Auntie Gene," HI".  Yep, there is another stamper in my family~!

Ok, here you go, I FIXED IT>>>>>>>
