It's raining out today and I had big outdoor plans this afternoon before heading out to my Forget-Me-Not class this evening. So when stuck inside it's always fun to go into the studio to stamp. I am leaving on Friday to go to Milwaukee, WI for a Stampin' Up! regional event and to spend the weekend with my husband who turns 48 on Saturday. As much as I love Stampin' Up! I really NEED this weekend away with my spouse of 25 years. I love spending time with him and we have been so busy this winter that our date time has really been lacking. So anyway (got sidetracked daydreaming ;-) I need to have some cards to swap with my fellow demonstrators on Saturday so I am working on my prototype this morning. This is my first attempt.
This set called Elements of Style will be available for sale in the Summer Mini catalog starting May 1st. I received it in January from Stampin' Up! for attending the Leadership event in Phoenix. I love this style of set but hadn't pulled it out to use yet because I knew it wasn't available to my customers.
I love distressing and I know Shelli Gardner the CEO of Stampin' Up! loves the Vintage style. I really want to do so much more on this card but am trying to be realistic about it since I want to make about 40 of them and going over the top for 40 cards is not really feasible for me in a reasonable amount of time so I am thinking I will be stopping here.
