The new four frames stamp set is so so stinkin' pretty!  I'm going to feature a few more samples of what you can do with this amazing 'sneak peek' set over the next week or so.  My colleague Patty Braun borrowed this design* to showcase the Spring is Blossoming promo and I wanted to share with you.  The card is feminine, classy and the embossing folder adds a nice touch of simplicity to the elegant designer paper design.

Blushing Bride Bunny

I'll be dipped if I can figure out when in the world happened with the color differences between these two pictures, but let's go with it!

I was fussing with the So Cute stamp set and starting to get my bunny grove going for Easter!  This card was pretty simple to make... Blushing Bride & Whisper Card Stock.  I cranked the middle Blushing Bride card stock through my Big Shot with the Lattice Embossing folder for some texture.  My Scallop Edge Punch worked beautifully as a compliment to small scallop square.  I added a coupl eof buttons with linen thread and made sure that the bunny 'popped' with my VersaMarker...

I am a fool for the Tiny Tags stamp set. She;s cute, petite and covers a variety of sentiments and occasions! The little 'hello' is a party of that set is too cute & too cute not to have!

50/50 Sale A Bration Board Winner!

It was one heck of a fun Sale-A-Bration!  I'd like to take a moment to thank the 10 wonderful women that hosted Sale-A-Bration workshops - I look forward to spoiling each and every one of you at the April 30th SAB Thank You Party that I'm throwing just for the 10 of you!

I had lots of questions as to how I was going to choose a winner from the big 50/50 board... here's a low down on how everyone's name was captured and then the winner was chosen. 

So here's the scoop... I took the board with all of the names on it and placed a smaller scallop circle with the person's name on top of each appropriate space (this was the perfect double check to make sure everyone was accounted for.)

Anna and I took the names off the board & placed them in the basket

Thank you to the following sassy chics for participating... Jane K, Chris B, Rae L, Erika F, Erin D, Lisa B, Nancy M, Diane H, Michele F, Cathy H, Gail S, Joan B, Kimberly H, Denise K, Lisa M, Kiersten H, Jamie S, Laura L, Kelly D, Peg B, Sandy H, Jackie O, Robin C, Jessica H, Heather H, Teresa, Lindsay, Liz C, Christina, Kerrie, Meg, Cindy S, Annie S, Maureen T, Cate C, Mary Jo M, Emma S, Liz M & Michele Y.

The winner was chosen via a random drawing...

Congrats Maureen!! You have won the $50 Gift Certificate!

But... we didn't want to stop there! So, we chose one more winner for a Free Stamp Shoppe... 

Here goes the second one!

Congrats Lisa... You have one a FREE Card Stamp Shoppe for April or May!
