Wedding Invitations

It has been some time since I've posted anything on here. I haven't done much stamping in a while. I'm no longer a demostrator for Stampin' Up! It got to be too much.

Since I've last posted, not too much has happened. My baby sister got married in April and asked me to do her invitations. I said yes but then wasn't too happy when I found out how many I had to do...125!! The text was printed off a color printer on Whisper White cardstock.

This is what my table looked like as I putting these together.








Well you only get married once! Here is what her invitation looked like.

Holiday Mini

This month kicks off the new Holiday Mini! There are so many cute things in there plus a new scoring tool! I am so excited about that. I can't wait to get mine. To see the mini, click on picture on the right.

This weekend is Labor Day weekend, and I'm looking forward to the extra day off. Hopefully I will spend my time wisely working on some stuff. I've got an expo next weekend and I would really have some stuff to sell plus I'm getting ready for some holiday classes.

Hope you all enjoy your long weekend and do something fun! I know I will!!

Happy stamping!!!

Quilted Punch Box

I can't remember whose blog I saw this cute little box but I thought it would be a great box to hold these cards. I wish I could say it was fun lining up those squares but it wasn't. But it was worth it because I love how this came out!
