Hello my friends - Well I accepted an offer on Sunday night. My home was on the market for one week. I'm really excited about it, but I was really thinking it would take a minimum of 6 months so it caught me completely off guard. On top of that the buyer wants a quick close, so I need to be out of here by April 6. Yikes! I don't know how I am going to do that. As of right now I have no housing prospects for a home and haven't found anyplace that would be willing to do a short term rental. Worst case senario I can go back to camp early but there won't be any water till May 1! I was originally planning for an out of state move but some family problems have put that on the back burner for a bit.
Another bit of great news...I got my latest shipment in from SU. I got the Thoughts and Prayers set this time around. I just love that tree. Since I have to keep the house showroom nice, I am not bringing out alot of items to make cards. Keeping to the clean and simple cards. Here is the one I created tonight.
Recipe is all SU
- Whisper White and Almost Navy CS
- DSP for background and butterfly Parisian Breeze
- Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon
- Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch
So now that you have seen what I created with my new set I wanted to show you how I am storing my set. I unmounted my rubber from the foam and remounted it to EZ mount. Then I took the SU clam shell and cut it to hold my stamps. I used 6x6 clip it up storage envelopes to store the set. The storage envelopes allow me to hold more stamps in less space, plus since they are all the same size, it makes them great to stack. Here are some pics for you.
Well I don't know how soon I will be able to do another post so until then I hope you have a wonderful spring! Enjoy!
Congratulations on getting your house sold and in the first week!! You must have had it looking really nice. And that card is nice, clean and simple, that stamp set was not on my list of ones I thought I wanted but now I think I just may need it too.
