Oh yeah! I have had over 600 views!

Hi Everyone. I was pretty excited to see the "hit" counter for my blog past the 600 point! I know that at least 100 of them are just me! haha! But who cares! So tell your friends about the blog, send them a link....1,000 here we come!

Here are a few of my favorite cards for my most recent class "20 cards in 2 hours". Now, technically the class took about 3 1/2 hours if you take out chat time, break time, potty time and general off track conversations by the teacher! But we finished and everyone did a great job! Speaking of asides...I am working on learning how to change the "level" of my camera so the colors are more vibrant when I post these pictures. Stay tuned to be amazed! Maybe not today or tomorrow...but someday soon!

In this card we used the super popular Stampin' Up! "Top Note" die cut as well as the Stampin' Up! "Simple Flower" embosslit die. It is amazing how fast a card can come together with a few simple die cuts. The pearl is from the Stampin' Up! "pretties kit" and the stamp set we used was "All Holidays". The color inspiration for all 20 cards in the class came from the Stampin' Up! designer series paper "Sweet Slumber Specialty"...which is already sold out. But we had just enough for class and loved every thing we did with it! Because the colors in the photo are a little off they were : Baja Breeze, Ruby Red, So Saffron.

This is the simplest card in the bunch...but I think the cutest! We again used the designer series paper and the Stampin' Up! "Big Bold Cupcakes" sizzlit 4 pack dies. Did you all know that if you have a cuddlebug it works with the stampin' up! dies? I love this die set! A perfect cupcake everytime!
