 Hi Stamping Friend, How have you been since last week? I hope you are doing well. We are going through a rough patch right now. Over the weekend someone tried to use one of my credit cards and one of my debit cards. They were phishing to see if they could get into my accounts. Thankfully, I am on top of that kind of thing. I reported the fraud and had their transactions removed from my accounts. That was upsetting enough, but then someone tried to hack into the online account for our insurance too. I don't know what they thought they would do, but we called and verified that they were unsuccessful. Then on Tuesday morning we found that a dear friend had lost his battle with cancer. Life can feel like its spiraling down a black hole when things like this happen, especially when it seems to be everything at once, but I refuse to succumb to it. I am looking at the good things about life in order to counteract the negative. I have so many blessings in my life that I am very grateful f

Hi Stamping Friend, I finally got around to playing with  February's Paper Pumpkin kit, Bouquet of Hope. Its very pretty. I made 3 of the cards as suggested in the kit (1st photo) and then played with the supplies and came up with 3 alternate designs (2nd photo, I did use 1 Basic White card base in addition to what was in the kit). And I still have some  supplies to play with at a future time. Tell me what you think of my cards in the comments below.   The upcoming June Paper Pumpkin kit will coordinate with the Expressions in Ink Suite on pages 96 & 97 of the annual catalog. It looks like it will be absolutely delightful to work with, here's a sneak peek: If it looks like something you'd enjoy,  click here  to subscribe:   If there is one you're not crazy about, you can always place a hold on your subscription by the 10 of the month.  Thanks for taking time out of your day to stop by, I hope its a good one! 🌄🖖  

Hi Stamping Friend, I thought we'd do something fun and different this week.  Have you seen the new In-Colors? Aren't they beautiful? Do you have a favorite? Stampin" Up!® has a cute thing I thought I'd share. What does your favorite In-Color says about you?          So which one is your favorite? Does it match your personality? Tell me in the comments, if you don't mind sharing. My favorite, by a very small margin, is Pale Papaya. But Soft Succulent is right on its heels followed closely by the other three. If you need a catalog, contact me. Have a lovely day and I'll see you next week.  Susan🌄🖖
