Author: Dana Davis Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Dana Davis- Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator I started this journey in search of a craft that I could do with my then 4 year old daughter. It seemed perfect to go to a class make a few cards and just enjoy the time with my child. Before I realized we were both in LOVE with stamping. Let me share the JOY that comes with creating by hand.

Is it Camping Season yet?

We spent Saturday and Sunday at my parents opening up and cleaning our camper for the upcoming trip to Tennesse. This will be our second trip to Tennesse only this year we are lucky to be joined by my parents. The weather at my families’ home was very spring like so sunny and a bit cold. My dad said it snowed the next morning.  Then I saw this on the internet…. I expect there are alot of people in Ohio feeling the same way.

Unfortunately, I do not have a card to share today as my cleaning time was doubled upon finding an unwanted guest. From the looks of it he had one great time “camping” during the off season. No more will be said about that incident.

Do you camp? Share a favorite memory below in the comments!

You Make Me Smile

Sale a bration has many amazing products to offer for Free! Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions is no exception.

This card uses Balmy Blue as a cardstock base. Balmy Blue ink was used on the folder then whisper white was embossed. The flowers were colored with Stampin Blends markers in Light Poppy Parade, Light Mossy Meadow, Dark Mango Melody, and Dark Highland Heather.

A laser cut label from the Share What You Love Embellishment Kit was stamped with a sentiment from the Well Said Bundle and a “You” from the thinlets of that bundle.
