Fast Card Friday: Carte Postale

Happy Friday! Hope you’ve had a great first week of summer! My kids and I have had a wonderful time doing some extra fun family stuff. We started going swimming at the outdoor pool and they’re already getting more comfortable in the water! My son has hated water on his head all his life and this week he actually dunked his whole head under water all by himself. I was so proud of him. It’s so hard to stay inside to work when the weather is so nice so we’ve taken the chance to have some outdoor fun. Hope you’re having a great week too!

The card for today features the set Carte Postale. If you’re a member of my downline who was in the top 15 of sales or in my first line selling over $1000…DON’T LOOK! This is the card I sent as an congrats this month for my INKredible Sellers!!!

Supplies used
Stamps: Carte Postale
Cardstock: River Rock, Very Vanilla, Always Artichoke, Le Jardin Designer Series Paper
Ink: River Rock, Always Artichoke
Accessories: Very Vanilla Grosgrain Ribbon, 1 1/4 circle punch

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great stamping day!   Josee
 

Birthday Card Contest Winners

This past weekend was my birthday and to celebrate I posted a card contest on my blog. I said I’d pick my 2 favourites for winners…but, instead-I let my 2 oldest kids pick and you know what?! They are the true kids of a stamper!

I asked the individually to pick their 2 favourites AND they picked the same 2!!! Isn’t that funny?! So, here are the winners:

Congrats to Genevieve Martel, one of my awesome downline from Quebec! Here’s the card she created:

The second winner…excites me and I’m so glad my kids picked her !! I was sent a contest entry by Melissa Hanlon from AUSTRALIA!! It’s the first mail I’ve ever received from Australia and even the postage stamp excited me! Here’s her entry:

Thanks to everyone for the cards and wishes. I had a great birthday! Melissa and Genevieve, I’ll be sending a special treat shortly!

Before I go, I just have to show you the cutest picture ever…I just can’t help it. My son, GRADUATED from Senior Kindergarten last week and he was so excited to be going into grade 1. I can’t believe how big they get so quickly!!! Here’s a cute photo of him accepting his diploma:

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great stamping day!   Josee

Fast Card Friday by June

Here is a really sweet card shared by one of my club members, June H, back in February that I never got a chance to share. It’s been a while since she showed it to me, but, I’m pretty sure she had made it for a family member who works for Canada Post! Isn’t it adorable?

  

It’s been such a busy week for me with it being the last week of school for my kids. Can you believe my son GRADUATED from Senior Kindergarten last night? They had the grad hats and everything, it was so cute. I can’t belive he’ll be in grade 1 next year…he’s really excited about it.

Here’s a few reminders of what’s going on right now:
1) Find out how to get a free Stamp Class by email-check it out here!
2) Special on Decor Elements, our brand new line-check it out here! Plus join my online poll.
3) Register for classes-full list here!

That’s it for now! Hope you have a fabulous weekend! Both my kids have birthday parties to go too and I have my birthday this weekend too! So, it’ll be a very busy time!

See you next week! Thanks for stopping by! Josee
