This is my first clear card and I really like it...These are the Thank You cards I am mailing out SLOWLY but SURELY for Solimar's guests...What do you think? I will have more NEW sets to show you as we have another sneak peek purchase that begins tommorow of the Summer Mini and like ALWAYS you will not be disappointed....

Here are some of the photos taken last year... look at all the fun projects we made!Many of these projects were created in our Show box swaps, we have one monday, one tuesday and one wednesday all from 2-4 pm. We swap in groups of 6 so it's not a lot of work. No need to rush... just take your time and enjoy the afternoon with friends.

If you are up for it, we try and gather at the front doors for opening session at 6 am for photos. This photo only shows a handful of people but there are already 30 or more waiting in line for the doors to open.Both the Shilo and the Radisson have a sack breakfast ready for our group members because they know how early we like to go over to the convention center. Come join us, it's a bit early, but it's so much fun!

If you would like more information on our pre-convention events please e-mail me at istmpnv@aol.comwe would be more than happy to have you join us.one last thing, We have been getting some sleeping rooms for our Late Night Stamper friends at $115 per night. That is a $30 savings of regular price. If you still need to book your sleeping room, we have some left at the Radisson on temple square which is on the same block as the Convention center.

Hola Amigas...I am sorry I have been absent. The Royal Blog Tour is keeping me super busy. We will be featuring 60 princesses and 5 Honorary Queens. You can't miss it. The dates are April 30-May3. I will be featuring two new stamp sets from the Summer Mini. Well I decided to bring out Fifth Avenue Floral. I love this set but you get new sets and your forget about the old. SO SAD! The second card (not sure if you can tell) is 3D. I cut the flower three times and then layered them on top with Stampin' Dimensionals after painting shimmer white paint ALL OVER IT. I don't use gray very often but I love the softness of this card. The first card I actually made in red for my neices Thank You cards but also wanted to see it in Melon Mambo. The three flowers are raised with Stampin' Dimensionals.
