Cards!

Hello Everyone,

Although I am a scrapbooker at heart- lately I have been creating cards.  Is it because a small snippet of time will give you a completed project?  It also could be that my desk seems to lose more and more space. (Major spring cleaning is needed!)
Here are some cards I made:
This first one was created for a special little girl who just turned 1!

Stamp Sets: Pony Party (115217 W, 120015 C), Party this way *sale-a-bration*

I added:

Eyelet border punch (119853)
Basics Pearl Jewel Accents (119247)

So what do you think?  Which card is your favorite?

I love Stampin Up

One of the reasons I love being an Independant Demonstrator for Stampin Up is the comadrie!  We have a forum just for Demonstrators where we get to share our ideas and help each other out.    I recently joined one group called the Late Night Stampers (which is a perfect name for me because I do most of my stamping while my family is sleeping).
If you would like to join the fun, click HERE.  If you have any questions just email me and we can chat!

 There are so many talentend ladies in this group.  Youc an check out some of their work here.
