This is not a Stampin Up card -- I did this with my new Cricut cartridge called Just Because Cards -- lots of good things on this cartridge but not as easy to use as others!!

Lots of good things going on in this card -- love the butterfly and the verse!!

The stamp set used here is called King of the Grill and you can find it in the new Summer Mini catalog -- lots of good things in the Summer Mini!!

So much for my resolution to post to my blog more often -- I just need many more hours in my day -- I did get the cards done for the upcoming Stampin Up workshop -- the one above is done using Bashful Blue which is one of the colors that is staying -- sure glad it is as I love this blue.

I'm back again -- wish I had extra time so I could post more often -- the photo above shows the cards we will be making for a Stampin Up workshop at my house on Monday, November 9th from 1-4 pm -- I also made a small pillow box with the SU die and I am sure there is room for some candy in the box!!!

This afternoon I finished two cards for the SU Workshop next Tuesday at my house -- both card ideas are from the SU Holiday Mini Catalog -- I used the Pumpkin Patch set and the Twick or Tweet set and I gotta say the Pumpkin Patch is my favorite!!

I'm back from my five week vacation (it was great to visit my MGC pal, Valerie while we were in Vancouver, BC) and finally got all my chores done so I could craft today -- I made two things for a Stampin Up Workshop on October 6th at my house -- the fellow on the left is the "Build-A-Bear die from SU and he (or she) is decked out in a Halloween costume -- the box on the right uses a stamp set from Stampin Up (can't remember the name and can't go look it up since I have a cat on the back of my chair and if I get up I am sure the chair will tip over!!) -- I plan to buy some candy on Friday for the ladies at the workshop to put in the boxes they make -- I will have to hide the candy from my husband or there won't be any candy left come Tuesday!!).

I have been working toward my certification on the new Stampin Up software -- looks like a great program -- I did the scrapbook and card making part and next up is making calendars -- if you would like to see more info about the program you can check out the Stampin Up web site.
