Interesting experience

My friends came over to stamp, in the basement, and we had a power failure halfway thru the second card. Down came the candles and we finished that card and started the third one by candle light. We laughed about what an adventure it was. The lights came on as we were beginning the punching for the third one. What a hoot trying to line up the stamping with the punch by candles.

Last Tuesday of the month class - Birthday Cards

This is the third card we will be making on the Last Tuesday of the Month. It was cased from Michelle Surette and Sharon Burkert. One was the creator and one cased it and then I changed it up from there. Confused yet? I just love, love, love the Summer Smoochies Designer Paper.

On a sad note, Dotto will not be available anymore, effective immediately. It was going to be retired at the end of the current catalog but problems with the manufacture has prompted Stampin'Up! to stop orders now. If you ordered Dotto and it was on backorder you will be receiving a refund from the company. I am sorry about that as I love Dotto and will have to seek out a replacement product.
