Drum roll….and the winner is……Nanci!

WOOT-WOOT for you!!!!

Here is her comment:
Congratulations to you Susan I love following you!!!Now this is funny because TODAY Aug 18 is My Birthday and we are having Ribs for dinner with homemade mac and cheese the mac and cheese was at my grandchildren request otherwise I would be having potato salad. Cupcakes for Birthday cake

This is even funnier as we both like BBQ Ribs….too funny! I hope you enjoy them and I hope you had a special Birthday!

I cannot tell you what a blast I had reading everyone's favorite meals and comments! Not only did it make me super hungry as well as thinking about yummy foods that I have not had in a while (like Ham Loaf – YUM….Red Velvet Cake – YUM…and I adore Lamb and WOW  – there are a bunch of Angel Food Cake Fans!!!) but also the fact that so many said what was most important is to share a meal with your family!

This is what touched my heart so much and this is the thing that I love about Direct Sales! I have been involved with direct sales for gee…. over 20 years but only with Stampin' Up! for 17 months….direct sales allows you to express yourself….make your business whatever you want it to be and to develop relationships that you simply would never have done!

I am here to tell you that I look forward to 200 more posts as I adore Stampin' Up! and I adore YOU…my faithful followers and customers! It's the "feel goods" and "making a difference" that keeps me motivated! Thank you…

This is a perfect card for Susan as the sentiment says it all…"thanks for your support"!!! The Stamp Set is For the Birds and this is one of my favorites as I love to watercolor and get out the Aqua Painters….(makes me feel like an artist) ha-ha!!!

I took the mailbox but "masked" the sentiment and used another sentiment to fit my needs….see just making simple changes works!!!

When you do use the watercolor method, I highly recommend that you use the  watercolor paper….WHY? – simple = it "holds" the extra moisture and your card will not get "wet:" through and also it will stay super flat!

I used the Oval Framelits with the hep of Mr. Big Shot to cut out the front of the card and then used the Black Staz On Ink to stamp my images! This is a must or it will bleed! The colors I used were Real Red, Marina Mist and Soft Sky!

Using 2 of the ovals made a perfect frame for the front of this sweet card and the little touches of the Boho Blossom Punch was a great added touch! The heart came from the Owl Builder Punch ( I always forget about this sweet heart…..glad I didn't today!)

The envelope was adorned with the Polka Dot Parade Paper! I know….I used it yesterday but I really wanted that POP of red ….at least I flipped it over to show another polka dot print! This paper is just sooo darn cute!

Well – this card sums it up…

"I appreciate your support"
