Tucson Gathering for Greatness

Every now and then we all have to do
something just for ourselves.
The past 3 days I did just that.
I participated in a wonderful training
experience to help me grow and
enjoy my stamping business even more.

The weather was gorgeous — in the 80’s,
even though the weather in Illinois was
nice while I was away.
Check out the great view here in
Tucson.
Tucson View
This beautiful view was the setting
for Saturday’s Gathering for Greatness
training event put on by Lisa Pretto.

It was a great training with many
top demonstrators.  The setting
was quite intimate and I came
home today feeling renewed and
ready to tackle things for myself
and all of you.

Today’s card seems to be the perfect fit.
It uses the stamp set Lift Me Up!!!
I feel that’s what these past few days did.
Lift Me Up
This card works for many occasions
but it kind of reminds me of this past
weekend.

Perfect Mix

I love when a stamp set has cute words or phrases
to go with the images.  Today’s card is a
quick and simple one — great for a
Valentine’s Day card or to give with
a home baked yummy!!
It features the Perfect Mix stamp set.

Perfect MixCard base:  5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″
Cut out the top section of the card front by
cutting across the front at 2 3/4″ and then
cut down the 4 1/4″ score line.

I used the Urban Underground designer paper
attached to Basic Black and then to the bottom
of the card front.

The bowl and words are stamped with Stazon ink.
I colored the bowl with Watercolor Pencils and
blended the color with a Blender Pen.

Charades & Easter Message

I am in Tucson, Arizona for a Leadership training.
We started late yesterday afternoon and at the end
of the training we played Reverse Charades.
I’m not a games person but I must say we did
have a good time.  It was quite competitive at
times.  Here’s my sister, Tina, acting out a word,
wish I remembered what the word was.

I do have a card to share with you today.

The Easter Message stamp set is perfect for
your Easter cards.
A very simple, purposeful card.
