So check out the pile of cards I made! This is just one of the swaps I did! I used the 'Incredible Like You' stamp set. I sure like this 2 step flower image & it was sooo easy to line up & stamp! (And honestly I didn't even take the time to get out my Stamparatus- so they are easy to do with just your clear blocks!)
This is what the card looks like close up! I added Wink of Stella over the top of the flower to give it some added sparkle- you know I love sparkle!
Are you wondering where this flowery DSP come from ? It is from the Butterfly DSP that is a Sale-a-bration Choice! You can get this DSP for FREE with a $50 product purchase. WOO HOO!! Is this DSP on your wish list or have you already gotten it?
Why did I make a purple card today? Read on to find out-
I decided I wanted to make a purple card for my team meeting today, as a very special friend & downline (Judy) was one of my biggest supporters & best cheerleader over the years with my stamping business!! She was one of my very first recruits! She never missed a class I had. She is greatly missed by me each day! As Judy passed about 2 1/2 years ago after a very long battle with cancer. (And Judy's birthday would have been this week- on the 24th too!) Purple was Judy's favorite color! So she would have just LOVED this Gorgeous Grape color! Thus this card was made in memory of her! I just know she would have loved it!

Yesterday started out bright & early with me working outside on the farm with Deke & the pigs! All I can say is that this frigid cold is getting old! It is hard on people, animals & equipment. And yep we got more snow yesterday too! I think that Mother Nature needs to give a little break for awhile!
Yesterday afternoon I worked on catching up on piles. I had hoped to get some farm bookwork done- but I didn't get that far......so I have got to find time to get that done soon.
I've gotta run......
I hope we all have a VERY SPECIAL Sunday!!
ENJOY your day!
I know I will ENJOY mine!
Happy Stamping!
