Stampin' Up! Backorder Report


Hello,
I am so sorry that I was unable to post this report more timely.
We were away on a Family camping trip last week and the campground's wifi connection was terrible.  I thought I would be able to be "connected" during my stay but, unfortunately, that was not to be the case.  
So, here is the latest Backorder Report from Stampin' Up!.
Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Merry Monday in Pink,Silver,and White


I cannot tell you how hard it was to photograph this card!
I must have taken dozens of photos 
and they were all terrible :(

I apologize for the glare here.
Sadly, this is the best I could do....
In person, this card is so pretty 
and the pink is so soft and subtle.
I hope you can get the general idea.

I stamped the solid tree image in Pink Pirouette,
stamped the outline image in VersaMark,
 and heat embossed with Silver Embossing Powder.  

My Merry Christmas, from Petite Pairs, 
is also stamped in VersaMark and heat embossed in Silver.  The Silver 1/8" Ribbon adds the perfect touch!

I will be back later with my supply list 
but I want to get this post up before my day goes hay-wire!
We are on the road, to another Agility Competition, early tomorrow morning!  I have lots of packing to do!

By the way, last weekend, my Amazing Midge 
Qualified in 7 of out 10 runs!!!!
2 of the 3 we didn't qualify in... well, they were all my fault :(  A lot of lessons were learned!
And, my Little Red Dog, Lucy... 
she Qualified in 3 out of her 4 runs!
I messed up in the fourth and final run :(
I cost us a qualifying score AND a Title for her :(
I'm still kicking myself!!!
She is 11.5 years old so those runs are precious!

Happy Stamping!
Thanks for visiting me today,
Mary


*** I am truly honored.  My card was selected as an Honorable Mention!  Thank you so much!

Happy Birthday in Red,White,and Blue

Today's card is another Birthday card for a special someone
who's Birthday falls during the July 4th Holiday!

I was inspired by a card I found online
who's creator made it for the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge this week.
Unfortunately, she did not submit her card to the challenge 
and I don't know who she is, so I can't give her credit.
If she pops onto the Pals Paper Arts blog and posts her card, I'll be back!
I'm sure she will recognize the elements I re-created!

I hope you enjoy today's card!
I'm off to compete with the dogs this weekend so this is it for me until Monday!
Have a great weekend!

Happy Stamping 
and Thanks for visiting me today!

Season's Greetings Santa Owl


HoHoHo!

Today I have another Holiday Card to share with you!
I am really enjoying playing along with the fabulous group over at 
This week's challenge is to incorporate a Santa Hat into your project!

I must admit that I was stumped!
While I am spending some time up in New England, I only brought a handful of Holiday themed stamp sets with me.  None of them have a Santa Hat stamp!  
I figured I would not be playing along this week.
Then, I was looking through some old photos on my computer and came across a Scrapbook page I had made that had this cute little Owl Punch Santa on it!

I grabbed my punches and went to work!
Isn't he the cutest?!

He also fits in with the challenge at 
a new challenge blog I just discovered!


I hope you enjoy today's card!
Come December, I just may have a stack of Holiday cards 
*ready to go* after all!

As always, if you would like to re-create today's card,
I have posted a complete shopping/supply list below.
Shop my Online Store 
and get to stamping your own stack of Holiday cards!

Happy Stamping 
and Thanks for visiting me today!
