Envelope Punch Boards running low

A message from Stampin'Up!: Supply of Envelope Punch Boards Running Low We've had an overwhelmingly positive response to the new Envelope Punch Board--so much so that that you have nearly sold through our supply weeks sooner than we anticipated! We have already taken steps to restock our inventory, but the new supply will not arrive in the Distribution Center until mid-October. We anticipate that the Envelope Punch Boards will be placed on backorder in the next few days. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we are working to ensure that we can fulfill your orders as quickly as possible. We will keep you posted as we learn the exact dates of availability. I'm going to offer a free class the end of October for anyone who orders this Envelope Punch Board. We will make several projects so you can learn how to use it. It makes 66, yes 66, different sized envelopes.

Ship ahoy Birthday Wishes

A friend of mine makes model ships....really fantastic ones. I found this card on Sandi MacIvers blog from awhile ago. It is a perfect birthday card for a ship builder. It uses the Open Sea stamp set and the retired DSP from last year. I hope he enjoys it half as much as I enjoyed making it.

It sure was heavy

When we were in Orlando earlier this month for Stampin'Up!'s Leadership conference we stayed with a high school friend of my hubby's. The friend was a TV Producer/Director and won an Emmy. I picked it up and WOW, it sure was heavy. He also gave us a guided tour of the city which was really nice. The Oscar beside it was given to him by his high school for the fantastic job he did putting a CD together.
