Pictured are the card toppers along with a card Tina sent me for our SBS22 RAK exchange this month -- aren't they just awesome?!!! I love them, Tina, and will be gearing up here soon for my annual Christmas card-making extravaganza! I'm not one who terribly enjoys making more than 2 or 3 of one particular card as a rule, so getting 45+ Christmas cards done is always a big undertaking! Unfortunately, it's very hard for me to make many different designs and then make up my mind who to send them to, so I eventually decide on 1 design & make them all the same. I usually lean more towards "elegant", which means more work embossing, etc., so at least this year I already have 2 cards practically done, thanks to Tina! **U**
How sweet is this? My SBS8 Sister, Kelly (http://kelleast.blogspot.com/), posted a card on her blog awhile back using this "many thanks" stamp from her AC Moore store. After I commented I loved it & wished I could find it @ Michaels, she then went to her store (at least twice that I know of) to find one & sent it to me, along with this adorable card!!! Isn't it pretty? It makes me think of Hawaii with its beautiful blue waters and all those gorgeous flowers!!! :-) I didn't even know the cute little chick & flowers were part of the set. You're absolutely the best sister, Kelly!!! ;-) Thank you so much for making my day -- isn't it wonderful to open your mailbox & find a handmade card from someone you know (either in person or just online)? So fun!!! '-)
I received this adorable gardening apron card from my SBS8 Sister Julie from England! I love it and think it's such a clever creation!!! It also was quite a task to create because it includes stamping, hand cutting, shrinky dinks, eyelets and all the little hand-applied stitching around the edges. She also included a plethora of goodies: two darling stamp sets, a molding mat, laser-cut butterflies and several sheets of stickers. I've never had a sister in real life, but if this is what it would be like, I've really been missing out!!! ;-) Thanks so much, Julie, and once my package to you arrives, I'll be an even happier Sister!
