A Great Start - FMS417





Happy 2020!  I am starting this brand new year with a brand new set from Stampin’ Up! called Painted Poppies.  I made a few of these for my daughter to send to her thirty-one downline members to congratulate them on their terrific 2019 sales.  Since bright pink is the go to color for thirty-one the Peaceful Poppies DSP worked perfectly.  I use so many thirty-one products in my craft room as organizers.....and so many others to cart my stuff to events that I probably should send myself one of these cards for being such a wonderful customer!

I am delighted to share with you some of the beautiful hand made birthday cards I received this year.  Word got out that I missed my birthday trip to Florida due to Gram’s fall - thanks to Amy Koenders and Brian King! The cards just rolled in the week of my birthday.  It was a wonderful surprise! The cards are still on display and have been admired by everyone who has stopped by.  Thanks to all of you who sent notes and messages in the birthday or Christmas cards - it really meant a lot.  And I am happy to report Gram made a full recovery and came to Christmas brunch.




Judy has a sweet sketch for us this week at Freshly Made Sketches - hope you join us!

Love this...what a bright springy card to cheer up this dismal winter day...although I am happy to see a sprinkling of snow out my window! I just ordered that little sentiment set...it's perfect for the sketch!

Just the bright, fresh, gorgeous thing my eyes needed this morning, Linda! WOW that is a beauty - I thought you stamped that panel, but I see in your supplies list that it is a DSP! I may have to give it a go!
Happy New Year!

I love this card - this is possibly my favorite design from all the papers in the Mini Catalog. I love how you've used it here - a perfect backdrop for your simple flower.

I'm so sorry, I didn't get the Birthday message!
But your card for FMS is beautiful! That whole set is beautiful. Kinda wish we had a die for that little single flower tho.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY a wee bit late.

Wow! I love poppies! And those are just fabulous! I love how the so pretty single one on the main panel pops against the "poppies all over" background.
I'm so glad to hear Gram has fully recovered and was ready to share the joy of Christmas with you.
