The Search is On

I like to take my stamping supplies with me when I manage to sneak away for a vacation.  But sometimes it's hard to know what to take.  This card literally spoke to me :-)  What a great summer greeting, and the card is so lovely yet so simple.  Stamp a bunch of the images out before you leave home, then take a couple of colored pencils and a trimmer and voila!!!  A lovely greeting from the shore (or wherever you are).  Plus, what could be more relaxing on vacation than a little coloring (even at home, it's like a mini vacation for your brain).  Stop in Thursday from 10-8 and take a little mini vacation with us!  We'll see you there!

Have you ever had trouble coming up with a great card design that doesn't use an image stamp, but relies solely on words???  If so, then this is the card for you!  I love that these words could apply to a graduation, a wedding, a new home, a new job, retirement....the list goes on and on.  And, because there is no image, the card is totally multipurpose!!!  Plus, for a graduation card, it can be altered to match the school colors.  Clever!!!  I particularly like the background, which was created by stamping the word "congratulations" multiple times in Sunflower Yellow Brilliance ink.  The metallic nature of the ink causes even a yellow hue to show up on bright red card stock.  Nice!  Stop in Thursday and make one for someone special!
