Friday Idea!


Happy Friday!

Today's Friday idea is my oldest daughter's birthday invitation. Up until about 2 weeks ago we were suppose to be having a webkinz birthday and all the sudden she changed her mind to a horse birthday. So I am getting a little bit later start than normal.

This card uses Pretty in Pink, Very Vanilla and blush blossom cardstock. The ink is Going gray, close to coco and Versamark for the background of the card. The stamp set is Wanted and Hugs & Wishes. Tools used were the scallop punch for the blush blossom background behind the horse, Crop-a-dile to set the eyelet on the sentiment tag and I used my cutter kit (the distressing tool) to distress the edges of the Very Vanilla 'wanted' portion of the card. The twine is Hemp cord that I got a Micheal's in the jewelry making section. The stars on the background of the 'wanted' portion of the card was achieved by inking my stamp stamping one time on a scrap paper and then stamping two times on the very vanilla without re-inking. That way the star would be lighter then the words 'wanted' even though I was using the same color ink. I drug..dragged...umm... I inked the edges of the sentiment 'your invited' by dragging it in the going gray ink. I used a pop dot under the blush blossom scallop to add dimension.

My events for you.
To celebrate my 200 visitors to my blog I am giving you 20% off your merchandise order if I have your order and money by April 4th. I will be placing the order the evening of April 4th.

My husband is going out of town this week so, Friday April 4th I will be scrapbooking from noon till about 9pm. If you would like to join me please let me know by Wednesday. Kids are welcome to come play while you scrapbook.

Upcoming Changes for Stampin' Up! Starting April 1st Stampin' up will start taking credit cards. No more having to go through paypal. The other change is they are raising their minimum shipping charge from 3.95 to 6.95 which seems like a huge jump. My plan to ease the pain of the increase shipping fee is try to combine smaller orders together when I can so that you split the shipping cost. That way if you only have a $25 order and I have someone else with a $45 order I will combine them and the two of you would split the $6.95 shipping instead of you each paying $6.95. Does that make sense? This does not effect orders larger than $69.95 their shipping would still be 10%.
