When I first opened our new Fall/Winter Catalog I knew I was in trouble. I was so impressed with all the new stamp sets and accessories that I figured I needed to get an extra job just to pay for the ones I wanted. I had a hard time finding a stamp set that I really didn't want, I mean NEED. There's always a few sets that I can live without, but this time it was tough. The first stamp set I knew I'd be purchasing is the Boatloads of Love set. I think this little boat and the sayings are so darn cute! I quickly chose this set as the one I'd be featuring for my August Card of the Month projects. Cindy and I had a great time designing these cards together last night. For those of you who don't know, Cindy is my upline and is one of the most fun people I know. She always makes me laugh! I so appreciate that she meets with me once a month to stamp. I always want to keep adding more and more to my designs and Cindy keeps me under control. If all the cards were in my style it would take you hours and hours to complete the projects. Eventually, you would have to move in, lol. Cindy keeps reminding me that the Card of the Month projects are supposed to be easy to duplicate. Thanks Cindy for all that you do to keep me inspired. Your support means so much to me! These cards are what we came up with for COTM. Of course, I had to add the "Out of the Box Thinking" card and came up with making popcorn out of the cloud stamp. This will be one of my Convention trade cards if I can get my act together in the next couple of days to make them. We thought it would be cute to use this card to hold a gift card or movie tickets. If you would like to purchase the August Card of the Month kit to create these cards, let me know!
You are so sweet! YOU are the one who inspires ME! I don't think I'd be the stamper I am now without your design and layout expertise. You always know just what to add (yes, she's always adding more)to make the project "sparkle"! Can't wait for Denver!! XO
