Fast Card Friday by June

Posted on by Josee

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

Fun & Creative Wedding Theme

Posted on by Josee

One of my club members, Tammy is getting married and created such a fun wedding theme, I just had to show you! She picked Basic Black, Pretty in Pink, Pink Passion and Whisper White and got creative!!!
She created the Menu card, Place cards, Table name card and a "Game Plan" all with the same design and colours. That’s what I love about stamping…you can take a basic design and use it to coordinate through your theme. I knew nothing about stamping when I got married 9 years ago, but, I wish I could go back. I think I’d stamp my guests too if I could. lol.

Isn’t her theme fun? If you’re looking for more wedding ideas, make sure you check out my WEDDING PAGE.

This little book was Tammy’s sign in book I made for her using one of our 5×5 Art Journals . It was so easy to come up with a design…I basically copied her theme from the items she made above and started creating! It was alot of fun to make! 

What do you think?

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