SWEET DAY...

Even though this stamp set from Sale-A-Bration is history, just like the many retired sets will be as of June 3rd, I thought you would like to see this sweet card...

If you CASE this card, (copy and share everything), you can substitute the cupcake stamp for another, and you're good to go...

WITH LOVE...

After church today, we are going to our oldest daughter and son-in-law's home for lunch. We have planned a casual barbecue and potluck without fancy linens, china and centerpieces. Everyone is in the mood to just relax and have fun. How about you. What are you doing for Mother's Day?

With Love,  Linda

 

CREATIVE EMAILS...

TAYLOR SWIFT...

A friend of mine, Lila, mentioned that she was trying to think of a fun way to tell her three young granddaughters that she had purchased tickets to attend a Taylor Swift concert. I immediately thought of an idea... I made these (fake) tickets and put them inside three red paper purses for each little girl.

There are lots of great reasons I love being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. Getting to do things like this is the best reason of all. I wish I could be there when they look inside their purses!  (But I know Lila will tell me all about it - and about the concert too!)
