Tropical Party Sneak Peek

I leave for the Stampin' Up cruise to the Southern Caribbean today.  :)  It has been a stressful week preparing to leave, and I cannot wait to have a tropical drink in my hand and sun on my winter white legs (they are scary!)

The stamp images are from a new set available May 1st in the Summer Mini Catalog.  It's called Tropical Party and is so FUN!  Wouldn't this be a great invitation for a summer pool party.  :)

Scrapbooking for the Walls

But yet some more goodness from Mary Jo.  :)  I helped her at her open house this month, and she had these chipboard displays on her kitchen counter.  Displaying scrapbook pages on desktops, walls, etc. is very trendy right now.

I am really encouraging Mary Jo to submit entries for the Artisan Award through Stampin' Up.  Seriously, these are so incredible in person!

 

Thanks for joining me today!  Have a great weekend - shelly
