Ronda Wade made me do it!

So...this is the year I'm going to do it! I'm going to earn the 2014 Grand Vacation (I don't know where it is, but I KNOW it's going to be AWESOME) and take my husband on the vacation of a lifetime all thanks to Stampin' UP! Would YOU like to come with me? Join my team and I'll help you!

I had my first training call with Ronda this week and she gave us HOMEWORK! Homework? Yep! It's fun homework, so it's ALL good!

One of the things we had to do was stamp 25 thank you cards. I got 16 of the 25 done, but I have until next week to finish it up, so I'm not in trouble yet - LOL!

Wanna see??

Who says cute has to be complicated?

I used some retiring paper from the Nursery Nest pack and a NEW stamp set (available June 1st, 2012) called Itty Bitty Banners. Itty Bitty Banners was designed to go with the Bitty Banners Framelits which are OH. SO. CUTE. You're going to LOVE them!

These cards from the notecard set which, thankfully, will continue to be available in the next catalogue - PHEW!!! These are a GREAT value as you get 20 cards AND 20 envelopes for just $7.50 CAD. You can't beat that! Yes, they're slightly smaller (3 1/2 x 5), but they're still mailable. When you have a LOT of cards to make at once, these are ideal!

This is the size of card we'll be using when we create our Summer Smooches cards in July. If you haven't signed up yet, just click on the "classes" tab above for details and let me know you'd like to attend. The class is just $35 and you'll get a FULL pack of these cards to take home with you!
