Just some samples of cards I've made using Stampin' Up stamps and materials...

I thought I'd display some samples of cards I have made over the years using Stampin' Up stamp sets and materials! I first posted some photos earlier which were more blurry and I later figured out (thanks to my hubby) that I had neglected to use the Macro setting when taking them. This normally allows you to take close-up shots in focus. Thankfully, I was able to retake all of the pictures and they turned out much clearer!



"Hello" card...perfect for any occasion to keep in touch with friends and family!



"You take the cake" birthday card featuring my two favorite colors together, pink & brown! This is one of my personal favorites!



"Thank You" card...because you can never have enough of these...perfect for any time of the year!



"French Script" vintage-style birthday card with vellum overlay...perfect for the men in your life...not too floral!



"Merry Christmas" card with light blue cardstock and featuring Dazzling Diamonds glitter snowflakes...perfect for a wintery touch to your holiday cards!



"Noel"...Christmas card in red and green using watercolor chalk rub-on technique!



"Basket Full of Warm Wishes"...birthday card using Crystal Effects lacquer over the flowers!

Golden Girl gone...

It is the beginning of the end of an era. Estelle Getty, otherwise known as Sophia Petrillo on the 80's sitcom, Golden Girls, passed away yesterday. She was just a few days shy of her 85th birthday. She was perhaps, the funniest of the four characters on that show. I always loved that show and I still enjoy watching reruns which are still playing on TV today! I love their dry sense of humor and quick wit in those episodes which made the series so famous back then!

The other actresses, Rue McClanahan, Bea Arthur, and Betty White, are all still alive. However, two of them are older than Ms. Getty was. So I can only assume that it won't be long before the world says goodbye to the rest of that funny cast in due time. Such a shame. What an original cast and series that was!

Happy July 4th everyone!!!!
