Gorgeous Grunge and Petite Petals

Today's card was one of the Stampin' Sisters Retreat Card Contest
swaps.  Gorgeous Grunge and Petite Petals stamp sets
aren't sets that I would normally use together but I LOVE this card.
Petals & GrungeUnfortunately, I don't know who made this card
but the color combo is very striking — Island Indigo and Pool Party.
She started with the "blob" stamp from Gorgeous Grunge and
stamp it twice — once full strength and then again stamped
off, then stamped with Pool Party.
The streaked lines are stamped with Basic Gray.
Three different flowers from Petite Petals are stamped
one full strength Island Indigo, one stamped off
with Island Indigo and another stamped with
Pool Party.  All three are punched out with the
Petite Petals Punch.

Celebrating 10 Years!!

I forgot to share this awesome card that I received at our Stampin' Sisters Retreat. A group of my friends made Tina and I both this adorable card to help us celebrate our 10th Anniversary of our Stampin' Sisters Retreat.

Gail made my card using Bermuda Bay and Tina's card was Calypso Coral. She used the Number of Years Stamp set. Isn't is wonderful — now check out the inside of the card.

I love the Party Pop Up Framelits — they make your card so special. Who doesn't love to receive a card that pops up when you open it.
Thank you Gail for making the cards for us. Thank you Gail, Tammy, Rorie, Clare and Katie for the special gift. That was so sweet of all of you. I know we will both put it to good use.

Baby is Coming, Baby is Coming!!!

Two of my stamping friends, Clare & LINDA are about to become Grandmas. One for the first time — I believe this is grand baby #3 for the other but the first for her daughter.
I thought this card was perfect to help them both celebrate. Clare actually designed this card for the card contest at our Stampin' Sisters Retreat earlier this month. I just love the details she did on this card.
I can't wait to hear all about their grand babies — I know one is a boy. I believe Linda's grand baby's sex is a surprise.

Clare's card uses the Sweet 'Lil Things designer paper and the Made with Love stamp set, Sweet 'Lil One stamp set, and Baby's First Framelits.
This is such an adorable grouping of products that her card was sure to be a winner. What a grandma she will be — not only did she make 52 of these cards for our Stampin' Sisters Retreat card swap and contest but she made LOTS of baby shower invitations, decorations and party favors using these same fun products.
Hope you enjoyed this great card. Come back tomorrow and I'll share another fabulous card contest card with you.
