For You - Wolf

This card was created after an inspiration I received while browsing my Just Cards! Quarterly Magazine.  The original designer was Amanda Wayer (wish I had a way of contacting her to thank her for the inspiration) I generally do that when a Stamper inspires me to create something. 

I have been contacted a few times and it's a very nice feeling to hear others' comments.  ")

Anyway, this card was created with the following goodies:

• Weathered Background Stamp
• Nature Silhouettes - Wolf and the Tree
• In Wilderness - Inside has the head of a wolf up close
• Clearly for you - Sentiment
• Circle Punch - for the moon
• SU! Ribbon
• Brads from the Regals Collection
• Word Window Punch
• Modern Label Punch

These goodies are part of a considerably large order I placed $3100.  Ended up paying only 2,400 or so with my discount AND I got about 800 in free merchandise on top of the $2400 I spent!

This is one of those instances when I looooooooooooove being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  Come to think of it, there hasn't been anything about being a Demonstrator that I haven't loved or enjoyed. 

With the special that is currently going on, though when you sign up as a Demonstrator, Stampin' Up! will give you a Big Shot or $100 in merchandise.  What a deal huh?!  Let me know if you are interested.  This is going on through the end of October, so it's not going to be in effect too much longer!

Thanks for stopping by!

Peace on Earth - Sketch Challenge

Good afternoon / evening Folks!

I've found my Mojo again!  (wish I would quit mis-placing it)

The image is from one of my new stamp sets called Merry and Type.  I also used the ornament punch, Circle Punch, Square Lace Nesties Die, Eyelet Border punch, Frostwood Lodge Designer Paper, an eyelet, gold floss, and Dazzling Diamonds to accent the sentiment.

I'm trying to get myself into the Christmas season.  I have so much to be grateful for.  I have all my family back on good terms, our financial crisis is over as I have been approved by Social Security, I am now technically disabled.  Like I said, I have sooooo many things to be grateful for.

  So, if you are reading this message I want you to know that you are a very special person and I am so glad that you are in my life.  If you read my messages AND assist with Prayer requests, I wish extra blessings for you & your family.  Thank you so much.

Blessings & Inky Hugs;
