Benefit Cards


These are the cards I donated for the A.J. Black benefit last weekend. The benefit raised almost $3,000.




I put them in a cello bag with a card and ornament. The card included a message that, "these holiday cards...were created specifically for the A.J. Black fundraiser" and was signed and dated. Something I only do on special cards/projects. It was a great party...I'm sure someone has pics. ;-)

Calendar Project


This is one of the projects I worked on this week. I used the calendar idea from the Stamping Extravaganza camp but I made it smaller - so it would fit on a picture easel. It stands about 7" high.
My other big project was a special 70th anniversary card for my aunt & uncle in Michigan. I had to get it in the mail so don't have a photo for you. They are very special folks - can you imagine 70 years together?
I have lots to talk about this morning. I will be at the studio this afternoon if you want to catch up in person...
TILES - Courtney asked where the tiles came from. These tiles came from a flooring company but sometimes you can find them at Home Depot or Lowes. If folks are interested in making these, let me know. We can figure out a time to get together or schedule a class if several folks want to make tiles. (Same thing goes for the easel calendar or anything else you see on here - just let Jeanna or I know. We love to stamp with you!).
SPECIAL EVENTS THIS WEEK - I will be participating in an open house and a fundraiser this week. My friend KC is having an open house for her Personal Power Pilates studio. I will be there with a stamping display and cards for sale. Jockey clothing will be represented and other direct sales too. Monday and Wednesday 5-7 p.m. Personal Power Pilates is located inside Pinnacle, behind Arby's on 23rd street. Come on by.
The fundraiser is for A.J. Black. He has Aplastic Anemia, a rare disease (3 people in a million) affecting the bone marrow. The party is Friday, November 14th at Shenago Lounge, 15th & Wakarusa. It starts at 8 p.m. with a DJ and hors d'oeuvres provided by Clan Chaos. I will be donating cards from I Stamp. It's $5.00 at the door - all proceeds go to A.J.'s family.
That's all for now, I'll see you at I Stamp.
