Hello Friends – Happy Monday.  I'm having such a grand time and you can too Join Sandy's Stampers and I'll show you how.  I finished another Big Shot Tote.  I'll show it at another time.  Did you like the 1930's feed sack material?  If you don't want to make one yourself, drop me a note.  I will have some of them for sale.  I'm going to try them in my Etzy Store.  Today I have a card to share that will put a spring in your step.  A birthday day card that is.  I just love this color combo, Apricot Apeal (AA) and Regal Rose (RR).  I used our FREE punch in the Sale A Bration Mini and matted it with a piece of Very Vanilla, clear embossed with tjhe set Baroque Motifs and then sponged color all over the piece.  This idea came from Gretch Barron.  It is her week end challenge sketch.  See the Supply List for everything you'll need to make this card.  By changing out the sentiment you can use this idea for just about any occasion.

DO YOU HAVE A WITH LIST?  Sales don't last forever and Sale A Bration will be coming to a close at the end of this month.  It's time to be going over those wish lists and checking it twice.  For every $50 you spend you can select a free item from the Sale a Bration Mini.  This year there is even more to select from including the Scallop Trim Border Punch or a whole list of stamps sets from the catty.  Be sure and check out the last page for a list of eligible stamp sets.  Workshops are another way for you to get free stamps and merchandise.  When you host a workshop of $300 you will also be able to select another free stamp set from the mini.  Or if YOU WANT IT ALL our Demonstrator Starter Kit is on sale with a 15% Discount plus a 30% discount on your first order.  Hobby Demos are always welcome.  Click here  and go to Promotions for all the deets.  Drop me an email and we can disccuss your options.
