I Actually Stamped!!!!

Well, I went to Miriam's (my Stampin' Up rep.) house on Saturday and stamped!! I usually need some kind of prodding to get going and Miriam always does the trick. She has some really good ideas for stamp use and is probably the most innovative user of stamps for ideas they were not intended for that I know. A few examples:


Who would ever think to use a Spring bouquet as a Christmas card??



Most people use this little street scene for "we have moved" cards. Miriam did a great job of decorating the little houses for Christmas!!



And, would you believe that this is a flame stamp for a birthday candle that was made into tree leaves? Wonderful!!!

There were 7 of us at Miriam's and we made masculine cards. Those are always so hard to come up with. So many flowers and girly things to be stamped that the guys get left out sometimes.


Ellen and Tina work on techniques.



Pam and Marian finish their cards.

So, we stamped, we were fed wonderful snacks and Miriam's 2 nieces, Kate and Claudia, were there to wait on us and run around and get supplies and stuff for us. What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. And, on top of all her other creativity, Miriam has a beautiful backyard!!!



Such a pretty scene!!!

The whole yard is filled with pretty scenes!!
A quiet place to rest.
Love this fern.
Miriam specializes in Hydrangeas.
