Lasting Lily!

The bright & cheery card is another one that we made at my celebration 1 1/2 weeks ago.  Doesn't this card make you think of Spring!!  Gosh- I'm so tired of this winter & so ready for Spring!!

This stamp set is Sale-a-bration (free with a $100 order choice) called 'Lasting Lily'.  It is a distinktive stamp.  Thus it has lots of dimension with light & dark spots throughout each stamp image.  This type of an image doesn't need a super juicy ink pad or it doesn't show all of the dimension.  When I did a card using this stamp at my January classes- we used the stamparatus & an ink pad that I lightly removed some of the ink from (by taking my bone folder & moving the ink to the end of the stamp pad).  My upline Becky had us use a sponge dauber to ink the lily images here on this card.  It worked good doing it that way too.  It is all about learning to apply enough ink, but not too much!

*NOTES:
Thje Sale-a-bration Organdy ribbon on this card is not available to order right now- due to the HUGE demand of it.  SU! has shut off the item number.  HOPEFULLY it will be available again the middle of this month!  It is a very popular SAB choice.

ALSO the Gingham Gala DSP is currently on back order.  You can order it, but it won't ship until around the middle of this month.

Yesterday was a busy day with the 5 kids.  We played games, built forts, made heart cut out Sugar Cookies, read lots of books, etc.  It was a fun & busy day!  

Masen & Ainslee got here yesterday morning & they will be here with us until the mom & dad get home on Thursday night!  So last night we were all beat & went to bed shortly after Deke got home from his last meeting.  

This morning I hope the kids sleep in a bit. I'll be up early to walk on the treadmill in the garage.  & It will then just be the 2 kids here with me today!  Trey will be with his mom for dentist appointments.  And the twins will be in school!  Hopefully tonight they go to bed early, as I have lots of card stock to get cut! 

Gotta run....
I hope you have a TERRIFIC Tuesday!!

Happy Stamping!
