Quilted Star - You & Me Papers




Last Sunday I was playing with the You & Me kit from Close to My Heart - what pretty papers! I used the swirl on the second card example. This is one of the nicest stamp sets I've ever seen! I really love all of the elements and know it will be a "go-to" set for many years to come. It's still available (as a fund-raiser to help tornado victims) and a tremendous value at $15. You can order it on-line from my CTMH web-site (click on Shop-online, then at the bottom of the shop on-line column click on Stronger Together).

What a week! I'm so glad it's finally the weekend, although I have a long list of things to get accomplished so there will be no resting! Last night I met with my up-line, Joanne, and a unit-sister, Beth, and we enjoyed a couple of hours of sharing ideas and just being together. The two of them are heading for the Close-to-My-Heart convention in a few weeks - how fun! It was infectious hearing their plans and being surrounded by their excitement. Still, the best part of my day? Getting to "see" Steve on Skype. What plans do you have for the weekend?

Hugs!

I enjoy getting to "see" my baby nephew via Skype too, it is amazing how fast those little ones grow in just a few weeks. Glad you got to see your Steve! What a beautiful card and super creative idea.

Sharli, the quilted star cards are gorgeous. I love the pops of color that the button and ribbon accents give too! It's dance recital AND birthday #4 for Ella today/tomorrow--lots of excitement--and a most welcomed cool-down too! So glad that you and Steve can SKYPE together!
