Working on my Thank Yous!

I finally got back in the stamp room to start working on my Thank You cards. We have a blizzard Christmas Eve so I haven't exactly been eager to drive to the Post Office to mail my thank you cards but I figured with it being New Years I need to get them done!


Here is one I made, I ued Bella Bleu Designer Series Paper and the large Filligree Brad. I matted on Soft Suede, which was a nice match for the Designer Paper for a soft look. The stamps are from the Vintage Vogue Stamp Set from the Occasions Mini Catalog available January 5th!

Speaking of the Occasions Mini, check out my Satin Ribbon Share...there are a limited number of spots left. To participate email me at melissa_riker at yahoo dot com. Each share is $20.50 and for that price you receive 3 yards each of all 9 NEW Satin Ribbon colors from the Mini Catalog. Payment MUST be received via Paypal by the 4th to participate.

Criss Cross Love....

How gorgeous is this new Sending Love Specialty Designer Series Paper? Love it!

This week's Late Night Stamper's Challenge is to use brads and I of course had to take the chance to use one of the new Real Red Epoxy Brads from the Occasions Mini Catalog out January 5th....along with this gorgeous paper!

For the Challenge I used a Criss Cross card, these are super easy to make and extremely cool looking...if you haven't made one you have to try one...contact me if you need instructions!
