Just last week, I hit the 'top of the hill' with the nice round figure of the BIG 5-0. Holy Mackrel!  Where did that week go?  The older I get the faster time flys by me.  Eeeek!  I have to say that one of my most favorite things about Stampin' Up! is the many friendships and crafting buddies I have made over the years.  I have been blessed with so many friends who share my passion for creating handmade greeting cards and then shower friends and loved ones on special occasions.  Today, I am sharing the shower of love I received in my mailbox.

I love the triple stamp technique using the Thoughts & Prayers stamp set...one of my favorite sets that is fitting for any occasion.

I need to try creating a monochromatic card (only using one neutral and one solid color).  Thank you for introducing me to the stamp set World of Dreams!  Thinking Elizabeth was using black to signify "Over The Hill" in a subtle way.  LOL!!  LOVE it!

One of my favorite things is to create 'frames' with our framelits....I think the Deco Labels Framelits are my favorite.  Pretty-pretty!

Look how easy it is to create a CAS (Clean And Simple) card using Washi Tape.  You can whip up a set of All Occasion cards with the help of the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set in nothing flat....perfect for gift-giving!

I haven't gotten the Flowering Flourishes stamp set, yet (it's on my wish list), but Sassy Salutations is one of my go-to sentiment sets.  It's fitting for and handful of occasions.

It seems like I'm not the only one who loves the triple stamp technique!  LOL!  Love the richness of Rich Razzleberry and Hello Honey.  YUMMY!

I love this retired set....AND, the fact that it's created with bright and cheerful colors of Melon Mambo, Wild Wasabi and Daffodil Delight.  ;)

Can you believe this was created using the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set?  How cool is this?!!  Such a versatile stamp set....if you don't have it yet....you NEED to get it.  I use my set ALL the time.  ;)

Thank you -- thank you -- thank you for all of the hand-stamped love, my friends.  Life is GREAT at 50!  I am sure that these creations will inspire all my readers to head to their crafting havens to make lots of papercrafting love.  Ooh-la-la!

Stampin' Dreams!!

May God Bless You and Your Family!!
