I missed showing you this beautiful gift box that team member Sheila made for our Team Gift Exchange earlier in the month.
Inside the box are 4 Christmas cards that Sheila colored with the Blendabilities and 12 gift tags – 3 different sizes. There is so much texture to this wonderful set. She even decorated the top of the box to match the cards inside. I don't remember who received this beauty but they were one lucky person.
The title to this post is Best Day Ever — for me this was more of a Best Weekend Ever. I spent this weekend with my side of our family celebrating Christmas together. This was the first time is about 8 years that our whole family were together to celebrate. There are 28 of us now — my daughter and her family lived in Las Vegas and then Alaska so they haven't been home for Christmas for many years (they moved back "home" this summer — YAY). One of my brothers and his family moved to Las Vegas this summer but they flew home for Christmas. My parent's home was filled with people but it was great. We got to see cousins play together and give each other hugs good bye as each family left. I wish we could all be together for all events but I soaked it all up for now.
Today's card was made by my sister,Tina, who most of you know is my Stampin' Up! upline. Tina's daughter graduated from college a couple of weeks ago and she made this for her graduation card. Nicole always says "this was the BEST DAY EVER" so Tina thought this new Sale-a-Bration stamp set would make the perfect card for Nicole.
Tina used many Sale-a-Bration items on this card — the Best Day Ever stamp set, Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper and the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack which contains three colors of ribbon — Coastal Cabana, Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry. I am loving this color combinations
These products are just a small sample of the incredible items available during Sale-a-bration, where you can earn a sale-a-bration item for every $50 in product you purchase.
I love this new stamp set — Tags For All — that will be in the Occasions Catalog which starts on January 6th. This card was made by a team member, Robin.
The base of the card is Whisper White with a layer of Soft Sky which is embossed with the large dot embossing folder. The tag and the duck are stamped on Whisper White cardstock and colored with So Saffron and Soft Sky markers, then punched out with the coordinating punch and added to the front of the card. I'll start playing with all my new goodies this next week.
