Thank You So Much Pals!

Recently, I needed some of our Spanish catalogs for a Show & Tell and I ran out.  I asked my creative sisters (over 400+) if anyone had any left they could sell me.

Immediately, they responded and they helped me out FREE of charge!  Do you have people in your creative life that have never met you, yet your hobby has brought you together and your friendships are so meaningful you feel truly connected?

I have my own Circle of Pals and we belong to an even stronger group of Pretty Pals…. over 400+ in all!  I’m NOT exaggerating either.

We connect not just in person, but virtually, Facebook, Pinterest, and YouTube.  They give me creative ideas and feedback when I’m not feeling creative or I need some coaching.

My hobby and new friends have enriched my life and to thank them I send them “thank you” cards for their generosity.  YOU too can be in my Circle and become a part of the most wonderful beautifully creative people in the world.

A Blossom Flower for You!

I absolutely love the new In-Colors!  They are bright, bold, and they coordinate perfectly!  I began with the thought of making a clean and simple birthday card, but ended up using two punches and the banner framelits.  It is still simple, but added extra items that gave the card a little more dimension and pow.  I could use the card as a ‘Just Because’ or even as a ‘Birthday’  card.  I cannot wait to put it in the mail. =)

To make the vase I used the Petite Pennants punch and cut the tops off.  The melon mambo adds depth and dimenstion to the tempting turquoise cardstock layered together.  One of the main reasons why I joined Stampin’ Up! was because of the ease of coordination of all their paper.
