LNS Challenge Favorite Things- Love and Care

Hello, Friends!

I hope you had a great weekend and are ready for the new week ahead! 

The LNS Challenge this week is to feature your favorite thing(s) in a card or project.  (Don't worry!  I haven't forgotten Frank.  He'll be featured on Wednesday!)  Besides Frank, I love beautiful flowers.  This stamp set, "Love and Care" has many of them.  It is only available through the end of August, so I wanted to be sure and show it off one last time.  This card includes more things that I love, too- rich colors, pretty ribbon, patterned papers, and making cards for special friends.  This card definitely features some of my favorite things.   

Happy Stamping!

I used the following Stampin' Up products to make this card:

Early Espresso Classic Ink

Melon Mambo and Always Artichoke Stampin' Write Markers

I am happy to announce that Frank had a very happy 10th birthday. He received birthday cards in the mail, one with a wiener dog on it. He enjoyed pizza for dinner, his favorite. For dessert, he had a new bone from his Grandma and Grandpa. Now he's asleep on my lap. It was a good day for the little Fella.

Today is an exciting day because the new 2011-2012 Stampin' Up catalog is officially open for business. I already have my order ready to go! I can hardly wait for it to arrive next week!

In the mean time, I have used a stamp set from the Summer Mini catalog for my Sketch Frenzy Friday card today. "Love and Care" is so beautiful. I can't wait to make more cards with it! You can see some of the new 2011 In Colors, Wisteria Wonder and Lucky Limeade, in this card to get you ready for a new Stampin' Up year.

Happy Stamping!
