Good Morning and this is a special day for many reasons. Can you believe that it is the 1st of November! New Month…

I have this funny and very smart feeling that many of you are going to order today (especially because of the stitched framelits) so here is your hostess code for the Month of November ~ MVRQGTNQ

1 – We get to see more card swaps of inspiration….(woot-woot)

2 – Today is the day that we can order the stitched framelits CLICK HERE….(WOOT-WOOT) and the selected group of SALE STAMPS – CLICK HERE!

3 – Today I am driving East of Austin to have lunch with 2 special ladies, Alyece and Millie! (WOOT- WOOT-WOOT!

Here is a card that I adore…and I want you to put this in your memory bank because I have a surprise for you later this week and I hope that it will be a great learning tip and experience for you to see how you can case a card to make it your own! This card of Carol’s is a great “concept/formula” card that I would use for many, many occasions ~ beautiful and oh so special!

That Georgette ~ she is the queen of using DSP! Not only is this a fun card…but I would say – who would have thought to put this together? Ok guys – here is a great way to use up that DSP that you are hoarding…on the 2nd picture – LOVE the threads of (I guess) from Burlap Ribbon – very fun and then I just had to show you how she dressed up the inside of the card! FUN card!

Can you say C L A S S I C? – Just elegant and the gold ornament is WOW over the black. You can easily mass produce this card and get lots of WOWS from the lucky recipients! The bottom is a beautiful vellum and it is the perfect accent but that ribbon….the perfect icing on the top! This is a great example of not to be afraid to use a big and bold contrast like Black and White…..for a holiday! Stunning!

When I pulled this out of the envelope, I showed John and said….this is a “Susan Card” Out of all of the metallic papers, I totally prefer working with the gold as I think (for some reason) that it does not scratch or leave marks. Isn’t this just beautiful!?!? This ornament I will be blogging about later in the week but it is so easy…just a crank through and POOF – a great ornament! Super card that will definitely get a CASE from me (and I am sure many others)

Look who is in the house….the MOUSE!!!! I am bummed (and sorry) that these pictures do not give this adorable card the justice it deserves but I think that you can see….ONE CUTE CARD! I am over the moon about this plaid paper and the green sweater on “Maurice” I can hardly wait to get home and play with this combination. Judy – please chime in and tell us about the inspiration and dimensions of this fun card.

Perhaps when I return home, I will be able to reproduce it for you with a post. I think that this is a fun card that has lots of options!

There you go and WE STILL HAVE MORE…..so if you have not seen your card yet – have no fear!!! I am so proud of you all and I hope that you all can give them some Stampin’ love with leaving a comment letting them know how great the cards are!

Even though I am away…I will be HITTING THAT BUTTON and ordering the stitched framelits today! I am over the moon excited and I’m thrilled that Stampin’ Up! has unveiled them! If I were you ….I would not wait to order these ~ I do NOT have a magic ball to see it they could go on back order but I am not taking the chance!

The free gift for you this month with an order of $75+ are the Seasonal Decorative Masks – I learned a great technique with them while I was away and I am excited for you to see it!

Have a great day….and until tomorrow!
