My thoughts are happiest with Field Flowers

 



I love the look of these Field Flowers stamped in Elegant Eggplant on the Hello Doily stamp, which is in Sahara Sand. This is my fifth and final card from my 10-card bands fund-raiser class last week. I think it's beautiful and simple and would brighten the day of anybody receiving it. I CASE'd it from fellow demo Susan Carlson. I hope you have a happy day!

Stamps: Field Flowers, Hello Doily;
Ink: Sahara Sand, Elegant Eggplant, Wild Wasabi pads;

Greeting Card Kids valentine with Doily stamp

The detail on the Hello Doily stamp is amazing! For this quick and easy Valentine, the Greeting Card Kids little girl was stamped in Basic Black and watercolored with an aqua painter and ink pads (Bashful Blue, Daffodil Delight and Real Red), along with a Blush Blossom marker. The "L is for Love" is from the Grateful Greetings set. I CASE'd a card designed by Kim Score at http://craftprojectcentral.com.

I'm adding this to the color challenge at Pals Paper Arts here. It's all about RED!

Hello, Doily thank you card

I received this card in the mail from Stampin' Up! Special Events team. They all signed it. Inside it says: We struck gold... by having you join us on our expedition to Alaska! We thank you for the commitment and hard work that made this trip possible and invite you to continue your efforts in the coming year! We look forward to seeing you in the Walt Disney World Resort in 2012!"

Isn't it pretty? It uses the new Hello, Doily background stamp with 5/8" Pretty in Pink satin ribbon. I love how the ribbon goes under the strip in the middle and is knotted in the middle of the design. The sentiment is from Curly Cute.

I'm not earning the trip to Disney World by choice. I talked about it with Eric and we decided we're saving for a 2-week trip to Greece next summer instead. I'd rather do that! I was an exchange student for a year there, and we can stay with my host sister and her family (big savings!). The Stampin' Up! land trip to Hawaii a few years ago was spendy for us to take the kids, which we did, so we knew Disney World would be costly too.

That said, I can't wait to see what the Stampin' Up! incentive trip is for this coming year! There's a shorter, 3-day getaway vacation being offered for the first time too. Two choices for something to work toward!
