Oldies but Goodies
I’m just checking in to make sure you all know I haven’t deserted you — even though I haven’t had as much as usual to upload in the last few weeks. It has been super busy getting ready for the show that I am doing, along with Jan Marie, for Flourishes this weekend in Sayner, WI — the Sayner Spring Stampede — here we come!!!
I have prepped well over 200 cards, bagged them into kits, supervised the making of Flourishes very first on-the-road display (made by my son, Ben), made display boards for cards, sewn skirting and tablecloths, etc., etc., etc. Jan Marie arrives here tomorrow (Thursday), we take off for Wisconsin on Friday morning, set up Friday afternoon, teach a class to 48 on Friday night, and the show is all day Saturday. Then we head back here on Saturday night. Needless to say, I think we will be tired by then!!! Gee, I’m tired already and we haven’t even started. We’ll try to get some pictures to share with you next week!
So, in light of all that, I’m doing an Oldies but Goodies post tonight. This card was done about a year ago and it uses all SU product, but it still has that bit of simple elegance and the flourishy design that I so love! Here it is:
All details of this card can be viewed on my SCS upload back in May, 2007. The interesting detail here is all the piercing – I LOVE to pierce, and just didn’t feel like stopping — LOL!!!
For those of you who liked the SU Pomegranate and Chocolate ribbon that came outfor a while the end of last year — are you aware that this exact ribbon is made by May Arts and is available in a number of colors from Flourishes. You can check it out here. I LOVE this ribbon and I use it often in many different colors!!! Just thought you might like to know! And I see a Champagne color that I haven’t tried yet — hmmmm, we’ll have to do something about that!!!
Thanks so much for stopping in — and the Stamp Simply Challenge is still scheduled for Friday morning, as usual. I’ll try to get a sample made, but if not, I am so thankful for my 6 fabulous team members providing samples each week — thank you girls!!! And I won’t give you too many hints, other than to say that this is one of the ultra simple, anyone can do it, challenges!!!! Talk to you soon!

Have a wonderful trip. Sounds like it should be a lot of fun. Coodoes to your son for making your display board and what a great name too…my son’s Benjamin named after my dad 🙂 Looking forward to hearing all about your trip.
Oh how I wish you live on the west coast!!! I would love to see these amazing stamps in person. I find I am a very tactile person and need to hold something in my hand to know that I’ll love it. Thanks for the heads up on the ribbon, btw. Have a great weekend!
I’m so happy to see this card because I love this set and had so much fun with it last weekend. I wanted to keep going and going. Your card is so pretty with the beautiful ribbon, the swirls and all the piercing. Good luck with your show. My goodness, it sounds like a lot of work. I think you’ve been posting plenty considering how much you’ve got going on! Say “hi” to Jan for me!
Very pretty card! I could kick myself over and over for not getting that set when it was available to buy. Oh well….
I’m tired just reading about what you are going to be doing! Whew! You deserve a break when you get home! Hope you are able to take it! I LOVE this card and all of the piercing! It’s just beautiful! …and I had no idea I could get this wonderful ribbon from anywhere else! It’s such a fav of mine! I still have three rolls of the PP and 2 of CC…I’ve been hoarding it really! I’m going to head over to Flourishes and see what other colors I can hoard it in! 😉 Hope you are doing well and thanks for sharing! Have a wonderful time this weekend! 🙂
Gorgeous card – just love the rich colours and the ribbon – perfectly tied! Like the simplicity of the image too.
Hang in there girlie! It will be a huge success I am sure and you’ll be able to kick your feet up later this weekend! Just think of this – at least you don’t have a last minute cheese order during all of this!!! LOL!! Take care and HAVE FUN! One of these days I’ll head to Michigan to visit my mom and crash one of your classes! 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous… I love piercing too. Haven’t done it in awhile…

Ohhhh, Jan Marie in Michigan!!!!!! Is she driving? Maybe she is going right past me in Grand Rapids!!!! Have a great time, and I bet Flourishes will be a smashing hit! Can’t wait for the pictures!
This is so beautiful!! I love the colors and all of your fabulous piercing!!
I love the piercing on this card. Beautiful!
I love your work & hope to a lot more. My thanks to Flourishes for connecting with you and my thanks to you for connecting with them. The samples help to expand my knowledge of what can be done in the stamp & card & ink & ….. community. I’ll be back here often.
