Can you see me right now?!?!? I feel like Fred Flintstone kicking my heels together out of excitement for many reasons….here you go!
- I really, REALLY like this card…
- Hannah signed her contract and she is going to Duke University to be a fabulous and beautiful “research rat”!!!
- My wonderful John went onto my blog yesterday and made a comment (that meant the world to me that he took a peak)
- I took Eddie to the (V_TS) yesterday (he does not like that word) as I was feel a bit guilty that he has not been in a while and I am so afraid to leave for Gulf Port and have to leave him behind….but all in all – a good report but we will know for sure with blood work results..
The above stamp set is a FREEBIE in Sale-A-Bration BUT only until February 15th – and you know….WOW – that is right around the corner! This is a SUPER popular Stamp Set and I have not showcased it yet for you as I was searching and searching…..scratching my head….and then I thought – SILLY SUSAN….just do what YOU love to do and that is SIMPLE!
Do you remember the other day with the sympathy card that I said that when you have a “keeper” USE it….DUPLICATE it…JUST BECAUSE! This is just what I did but you will have to POP back tomorrow to see if I did today’s card or the stepped up version!
Clean…Crisp….and Classic! You can see that I have blended (2) stamp sets…..this freebie and also the Guy Greetings Stamp Set….the great thing about this stamp set is that it is available in all (3) mounts…..I prefer the photopolymer as I love the ease of seeing through!
I have blogged lately that I am lovin’ the White Fun Foam to pop up larger areas….and today I used it to give a lift! You can click here to see the product on Amazon and I have to admit….you will be AMAZED with how far a pack goes….true you can purchase fun foam at craft stores….but I know that the quality and the ease of having it delivered to your home is a win-win!
I hope that you can see that simple works and that simple is O.K.!!! I know that we all struggle with Masculine cards….but with this stamp set – NO WORRIES NOW and the best thing is …..it’s FREE!!! The sentiments in stamp set are GREAT and I plan to use it over and over with cards….but my goal was also for you to see that you can use other sets that you possibly have and make it work!
That’s is folks! A clean and simple card that will make someone smile and very happy! Remember, for every increment of $50.00 you will be able to choose a FREEBIE…and I hope that you choose this stamp set as it is going “BYE-BYE” on February 15th!
Don’t be a snail….GO FOR IT! – I can’t wait to see what you think about tomorrows “stepped up version“ Have fun shopping….Sale-a-bration is the BEST time of the year with Stampin’ Up!

Great masculine card and I have to try the fun foam idea! CONGRATS to Hannah and God Bless Eddie — What great news for all this week!
Oh I love this card! The black and white is so classic and masculine. You did a great job. I went back and read hubby’s comment…he sounds just as sweet and caring as you! Congrats to Hannah on her decision…..way to go Hannah!
What a sweet card…the heart “trail” just makes it :). Congratulations Hannah! How exciting and how wonderful to have your decision made…time to enjoy it now and celebrate! I’m glad Eddie did well on his excursion yesterday…I am guessing he slept the rest of the day…my dog always did from the stress of having to go, haha! One of your commenters yesterday said that your blogging style makes us feel like we are sitting at the table with you…so true! I love reading your blog :). Have a great weekend!
Great card. Looking forward to tomorrow’s but I can’t see that it’s possible to improve on this one! Congrats to Hannah – I hope you all have a joyous celebratory weekend.
This is quite the classic card too. It may be simple but it packs a punch! Why is that set a freebie only until Feb 15? I thought that whole catalog was good until the end of March??
This card is soaringly good! I still haven’t wrapped my little brain around the “wicked” term so I made up one to go with the airplane! I think I love every aspect of this layered wonder! Stepped up version, this will be hard to beat! I see the foam stuff comes in colors – that might be fun for some flowers or popped up centers of flowers. So, who is getting this wonderful card, I don’t think I saw that mentioned….
This is the start of a great weekend, a great card with the blog in my E-mail with great news about Eddie and Hannah! We have a nice sunny day here though a bit overcast. Ted has been a good boy today complete without licking and nipping at my toes as I put on socks and shoes to go for our walk. He didn’t even steal the socks I took off! We had a really nice walk and several people petted him so he was truly a happy camper! Also, no ice on the sidewalk for the most part, I had my favorite childhood breakfast – Cocoa Wheats – the “Happy hot cereal with the cocoa treat!” Plus, no plans for the weekend – just doing whatever. No news on my neighbor’s condition but I feel she is in good hands! Who knows, I might bring out the plastic and “earn” this great set – I think it would definitely be a keeper! Hope everyone else has a great weekend and your favorite team wins!
P.S. I enjoyed John’s comment.
Love the clean classic look of your card today. I’m a fan of black and white as I feel it’s timeless. Congrats to Hannah. She is so fortunate to have a job and to know what she will do after graduation. Good news (hopefully) about Eddie. He is lucky to have a Mom like you. Enjoy your weekend!
Just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy shopping with you! January gifts arrived today. WOW and thanks! And always love your “simple” style.
Cute card today, Susan. Can’t wait to see your changes to it tomorrow.
Great card! I live in Mobile Al. Do you mean Gulf port MS? That’s only 45 minutes away from me. Not to be nosey but. Is there a Stampin up event there? I’m a demo and was wondering if I missed something plus I follow you and would love to meet you in person. Again great card. Safe travels
I really like the Sunday card . All the little extras add so much personality !
Yes, this is a FOOTBALL DAY !! Being a N.C. gal I have to say
