Elegant Birthday Butterfly

I love this color combination — Blackberry Bliss and Pear Pizzazz!!!
Butterfly BasicThis card features the Butterfly Basic stamp set and coordinating Butterflies Die Thinlit.

The base of the card is Blackberry Bliss with a layer of Pear Pizzazz cardstock.  The top layer is Whisper White and I started by stamping the ferns using Pear Pizzazz ink.  I inked up the ferns once and stamped it three times moving the stamp to the right a little bit each time.
Next I stamped the Happy Birthday using Blackberry Bliss ink.  Then I inked the border stamp once and stamped it twice.  I stamped the butterfly with Blackberry Bliss ink and cut it out with the coordinating thinlit.  I attached it to the card with dimensionals.  Tie a small bow in the Blackberry Bliss ribbon and Viola — card is done.

Sale-a-Bration Celebration!!

Last night I held my Sale-a-Bration Celebration Party. 
This was a big celebration for those who joined my team, hosted a party with me during Sale-a-Bration, or placed orders that totaled at least $150 during Sale-a-Bration.
Getting Ready
Here are some of the ladies waiting for everyone to arrive.  There were 23 in attendance and we had such a great time.

I forgot to take picture of the snack table — I put out a "snack shack" for them that had glass jars filled with wonderful chocolate treats.  I also had brownies and cheesecake bars on a tray for them.

I had three make & takes for everyone to make, but the room was too full for everyone to stamp at once …..hmmm…what should we do.
Stamping hard
Here's some of the ladies stamping away.  What did everyone else do…check it out.
Bingo
We played a few rounds of Stampin' Bingo — everyone had a great time and they loved the gifts they received when they "hollered" BINGO.
Mother's Love
This is one of the Make & Take cards that everyone made.
Don't you just love the Spring Flowers embossing folder!!
And I've already told you that I love the Mother's Love stamp set.  That's where the flower came from.  I colored it in with the Calypso Coral and Wild Wasabi markers.

Don't forget to check out the retired list in my Online Store.
