Retirement, anyone???

Our pastor is retiring in June & his daughter is putting together a scrapbook of cards from all the congregation for him.  He's a great guy & I wanted to make him a classy but masculine card.  Here's what I used if you want to make one too:  I started with a base of Naturals White CS, embossed Basic Gray CS with our new Square Lattice embossing folder in the new mini catalog (see link at the right!), added some black ribbon & black CS, & stamped "Thoughts & Prayers" with Basic Gray ink.  The Congratulations & a verse about retirement on the inside is from one of last years SAB sets.....you can use them forever!!

Congrats to Cassie & Eli!

I've got a special bridal shower to go to this weekend & I needed to make a special card to give the bride.  This is what I came up with.....lots of glitz & bling!!  You probably can't tell from the picture, but the embossed background is spritzed with the new Silver Smooch spray (see the Summer Mini Catalog & get some ordered!!) and I also applied lots of Dazzlin' Diamonds glitter on the dress for added sparkle.  Even tho this stamp set is retired, it is still one of my favorites----but of course which stamp set isn't my favorite????
