It’s Wednesday and time for a peek at this week’s Pals Paper Arts inspiration card! And what a challenge we have planned for you!  It’s is time for the annual Pals Blog Candy Blow-Out!  Who wouldn’t love to be showered by Mystery Blog Candy from every member of the PPA Design Team! That would be a total of  9 packages coming to you from all across the nation…from Maine to California and several points in-between!  But you can’t win unless you Play with the Pals…so get your stamps and inks ready!


As for my card tomorrow…boy is it ever different for me! I don’t even know what style it is!  Won’t you join me for the reveal tomorrow and help me “Name That Style”!  Until next time…

In case you missed Shelli Gardner, CEO and Founder of Stampin’ Up! on the Today Show this morning, here is the clip.  I am so proud to be associated with this company and their philanthropic programs.

My local stamping friends will be making these tags as part of a Mini-Stamp Camp Tuesday evening.  In addition to these vintage Winter Post tags, they will also be making a coordinating card, gift bag and lip balm holder to complete the set.  They also had the option of selecting a “cutesy” set made using the Polar Party set if vintage was not their cup of tea.

Thank goodness two Schach Pack members, Staci Ralston and Amanda Almendinger, are joining in the fun! We certainly had a ton of paper to cut!

Well…I didn’t fool very many of you with my “Are there pearls” question did I?  Of course, there were pearls! The lucky winner of the retired Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper, as selected by a random number generator is Heather.  Here is Heather’s comment:

Heather, if you will send me your address, I will send your paper to you  pronto! I would like to thank all of you who played along and had some fun with me.  There will be more opportunities to win free paper coming up soon!

This week’s schedule does not allow for very much stamping time.  With Stamp Camp on Tuesday, delivering Brody the Boxer to Michelle the Handler on Wednesday, and Brady the Boy’s concerts on Thursday and Friday, my time is filled.  Plus, I am behind with my emails and I apologize for that.  But rest assured that I will definitely be back with a peek at my Pals Paper Arts card, and it’s reveal.  As always, if you ever have any questions about the cards that I create or the techniques that I use, I am only an email away.  Until next time…
