Okay this is just another stamp from the set Bloomin Marvelous, Sale-A-Bration. This is probably the most versatile set that SU had designed in a while. I have already made over 12 cards with just his one set. I love a set that contains both images and sentiments, don’t you?
If you want to get the products that are used on this card FREE, you can now, during Sale-A-Bration. Purchase $50 in merchandise and select the stamp set, or Designer Series Paper FREE. Spend $100 and get them both FREE. Just click here and go to Shop now!
This is way too AWESOME!
This is going to be so much fun. SU has reserved the The Wizarding World of Harry Potter exclusive just for us on Thursday evening. That is one of the perks of being a demonstrator, we get to go on all the rides & attractions without all the wait, etc. OMG how special is that?
If you thought about being a demonstrator and doing what I love to do, just click on the Join the Fun tab HERE!
Will post my Leadership swaps in the next couple of days.
I have used the new Doily tape found on pg 3 of the Spring catalog. It is so cool, it has adhesive on it and you just cut what size you need. Simple as that. The other doilies on this card are found on pg 5 and what a bargain they are @24 for $2.95. I also used some items from the Artisan Embellishments kit on pg 10. That has to be my favorite so far!

We will go to Mass this evening as we do every year and then come home to an incredible traditional feast that I have been enjoying since I was a child. A typical Italian Christmas Eve ‘meatless’ dinner with buccala (cod fish cakes), aleche’ (Spaghetti with Anchovies), Luna Pizza (no red sauce) with fresh mozzarella & Fontina cheeses.
Of course, this has been scaled down from years past, when we also had smelt, snails and Octopus. In fact, I remember one year when I was little, at my Grandpa’s house, live snails that had gotten loose and were crawling up the cellar wall, which my Grandpa had to gather up for preparation of Christmas Eve dinner in a hurry. Grandpa & Grandma were both from Italy. He was from Naples and my Grandma was from a little town outside of Naples called Availlino. They brought this Italian tradition with them to America.
I always have such fond memories of growing up in an Italian environment, neither could speak a word of English, which was okay then because while we lived with them we spoke both Italian and English. The shame of it is, when my Mom and Dad both their own home and we moved out, I forgot almost all of my Italian. The saying “if you don’t use it, you loose it”, is so true.
I am going to be sorry to see the festival of Prints disappear, I love working with them.
