Thinking of You!

I've been a bit frustrated lately because the new L.I. Design Team has not been able to upload all of their new "Christmas in July" designs and July is about to end! Not good. If all else fails, I will soon be uploading some of our ideas to this blog. In the meantime, I have a card to share with you. My friend Nancy just made this card using L.I.'s 6x6 Cardstock Pads and template #L9704. While many of the cardstock designs in these pads have been discontinued, the pads are a great way to still use these wonderful papers. AND, they are on sale at L.I. for just $2 each. Here's Nancy's card and see if you don't agree with me ... it's so pretty! Happy Embossing. :-) Donna

Summer has arrived!

Good morning. Don't know what the weather is like where you are but here in San Diego, we are experiencing some really warm days! I'm currently preparing for my class on Saturday and I decided to do two cards that I "pinched" from my good friend Nettie. She is one of the most talented card designers I know and currently on the new L.I. Design Team. I'm also doing a cute card using a Sizzix Die I just got which not only cuts the A2 card out perfectly but it leaves a very nice decorative shape on the end that opens the card. Then I'm doing one stamped card and the adorable dog stamp is from Whipper Snapper. The rest of the supplies, of course, are from L.I. Enjoy your day and keep cool! Embossing joys, :-) Donna
