Happy Monday!!

Hi everyone!  Hope you had a fabulous weekend!!  Just wanted to remind you of a couple of things…

1.  I've got a class at 10am or 7pm today: Clean and Simple Cards…we will make 10 beautiful cards all nice and simple and clean…really great cards!!  I had a blast finishing up the samples yesterday and I think you'll love 'em!  Let me know if you'd like to attend or if you'd like a set of cards and can't make it!

2.  My card and scrap clubs are in need of a few more members…we meet once a month and make either 2 cards or a 2-page scrap layout (there are 2 to choose from) and there are tons of Great perks to being in club: free catlog, lots of special treats from me, hostess benefits once during the club, and even punch cards to earn FREE stamps….last year I gave away close to $700 in free stamps!!  Let me know if you have questions!! drekow@yahoo.com

3.  Today is the last day to get FREE buttons!  When you spend $35 in stamps from the Growing Up section (p. 74-90)of the catalog, you get a free pack of designer buttons (p. 181)…a $7.95 value!  Here are some samples with some of the sets from that special:

This card is simple, quick and adorable!!  The stamps are Extreme Elements, Extreme Guitar, and Just Jawing.

Colors are So Saffron, Tempting Turquoise, and Certainly Celery,.

This card was made by a demo friend of mine, Amanda!  She was super sweet at convention and shared a bunch of stuff with me! 🙂

Here is another awesome card…this one is Extreme Elements with Extreme Surfer.  These cards are so great for Teens–they are a tough group to stamp for…

I LOVE the extreme elements set–whether you are doing kid cards or like collage stamping, it is a GREAT must-have set!

The colors here are Whisper White, Ballet Blue, Old Olive, Summer Sun, Pumpkin Pie, and Bermuda Bay.

The modern label punch and silver brads were used and the words were printed off the computer!

Here is one for the girls…this new set has been quite popular, too! Pony Party with Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay and Perfect plum inks, and don't forget the glitter!

This BEAUTIFUL card is one I recieved in a swap (and it is my favorite!!)  This is from the set, Beware Pirates and is just amazing!!

The colors are Rich Razzelberry, Dusty Durango, Crushed Curry, and Bermuda Bay and Soft Suede.  The compass image is from the circle image in Enjoy Every Moment.

Just wonderful!!

This is from the Set, Lots of Bots.  Colors are Sahara Sand, Soft Suede, Melon Mambo, and Bermuda Bay.

Stamped and colored with markers! 🙂 Love those incolor markers!! 

The Polka dot ribbon and scallop border punch add a nice touch!

This stinking cute card is from the sets, Just Surfing and Under the Stars.  How darn adorable is it????  I recieved this in a swap also, and I was giggling! 🙂

The colors are Ballet Blue, Bashful Blue, Choclate Chip, Close to COoca, Really Rust, and Summer Sun.

Some glitter, some cutting, a 1 3/8" circle punch and a few holes poked in the corner…adorable!

And Speaking of adorable!!  This super cute card was done with the Under the Stars set also.  The colors are Chocolate chip, Close to Cocoa, Always Artichoke, Creamy Caramel, Really Rust and Bashful Blue.

A few googlie eyes and you are in business!!

🙂 I didn't come up with this one either…this was another swap (and another giggle!!)  If you ever think you are not creative enough…luckily there is help for that…lots of people love to share and create (and I love them for that!!)

Don't forget to place your orders for the Button special–it ends today!!

🙂
Have a great day!
