So when we got the new Summer mini catalog in our Stampin' Success magazine I drooled over this new hostess set and then I was a lucky girl and actually earned it for free. You are definitely going to want to book a workshop or gather orders from family and friends to earn this one. I hear ya, "but it's not a coloring set?" I know those are usually my favorite, but look at it…gorgeous.
I have my club girls coming over tomorrow so I wanted them to get their hands on this new set so they fall in love with it just like me. One of my new favorite Demonstrators to case is Teneale Williams and she is from Australia so I bet she has a cute accent to go with her gorgeous stamping. Thanks Teneale for your inspiration!
Stamp Set: Love & Care
Paper: Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler, Newsprint DSP, Old Olive DSP
Ink: Cherry Cobbler & Old Olive Markers, Jetblack Stazon, Crumb Cake
Misc: Black Satin ribbon, vintage trinkets
Look what I did today…
I used to get my nails done all the time with a french manicure and then I think I stopped a couple years ago and just polished them wild and crazy once in a while, but working on cards I had to be so careful that I did not get polish on the cards, so MAMMa always has her nails so beautiful, and with the cruise coming up I thought, I'm gonna do it. So off I went to Selena where MAMMa gets hers done, and I love them, I have to get used to them again, typing, stamping and right now that odd feeling they have with brand new nails on, but they look so clean and neat. What ya think? I think boy oh boy my hands sure look old and my pointer fingers are started to go crooked a bit. Ugh! My flip off finger is nice and straight hmmm…maybe it gets more exersise or something…ha! Just kidding.
Have you read the Laurel K Hamilton Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series? They are taking a bit to get into. They sure aren't the Black Dagger Brotherhood or Twilight. In fact if when I get this one done if it does not leave me wanting more, I may shelve the series till later. I have so many more to read and in fact am reading one on my new Nook (that I still have not named) that I am really enjoying.
Well I got some paper to cut, so I am going to say "hasta la vista, baby"
Have an awesome Saturday and thanks so much for stopping in!
Very nice card! I'm stumped: What does "MAMMa" mean?!
Di,
Your nails look FABULOUS, darling! 🙂
Seriously, they do look great. I love Teneale's blog too! This card is great!
Oh…I just love to read your posts….you always make me smile!! By the way….LOOOOVE your nails!! I miss mine. I took them off when money got low around here. I guess I gave them up so my boys could play soccer and football and everything else they need money for. It's been 2 years now, and I still miss them! 🙁 Funny….my flip off finger is crooked from playing baseball myself. I wish mine was as straight as yours! You should show it off to everybody!! LOL! And your hands do NOT look old!! They look thin and elegant!!
I love your nails! I am actually going to get mine done today! I haven't had artificial nales in 15 years! It's gonna take getting used to for sure. LOL
Oh, and for your Nook…I think you need to name it Nookie. ;o)
Have a great day!
WOW, this is a gorgeous card! I can't wait to get this hostess set now so I can play around with these beautiful flowers. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Hi Susan,
MAMMa means My Arizona Mum Marlene.
She is not really my Mum but in my heart she is like my Mum.
Hugs,
Di
This is a beautiful card. I love it. Thanks for telling us what MAMMa stands for. You've had all of us guessing! Hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend.
I'm thinking I am liking "Nookie"
Thanks Marjori!!

Di
