Maria

You can NOT deny that this is just the cutest card ever! I couldn’t help but feel so loved by my Pals when I opened this card.

My sweet Circle of Pals Maria R. one of my down-line sent this sweet thing wishing me well wishes. Maria is a hobby demonstrator who joined Stampin’ Up! just for the discount.  Anyone can join for any reason for as long as they want, no questions asked and you can learn more about it here.

Just Because

This second card was sent by one of my favorite Pretty Pals, Frances.  I say one of my favorite Pals because honestly I’ve lost count of how many I really have.  There are over 300+ plus of us and after a while it’s hard to keep track… LOL.

What I can tell you is that the friendships I have made are out of this world. Pals live all over the United States and we communicate virtually through email, a private Facebook page, and webinars.

Anyone can become a Pal and you can find out pretty much anything about us right here.

Greeting Card Kids stamp set is one of my many favorites.  Why?  Because it incorporates Thanksgiving with the little girl sitting on the pumpkin, which can also be turned into an easy Harvest/Halloween card.  Can’t forget to mention Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and a cute boy and girl that remind me of our Story Time Designer Series Paper.  This stamp set makes the perfect pair with Teeny Tiny Wishes (did I mention a MUST have for every occasion?)

Stampin’ Up! Two Challenges with One Card

8

FMS Princess Badge

Seems these colors have become my favorite lately.  What perfect timing to use my favorite colors in not just one, but two card challenges… Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge #132 and {Freshly Made} Sketches! #29 This is the first time I used the water coloring paper and it works great when you are coloring in stamp images.  I think you will LOVE it too.


Do you think my card hits the mark?

Maggie Made Tip:  To give a suttle pop to a card that is clean and simple add a button and see it come to life.
