A Clean & Simple (FTL#58) card using Ruby Red, Cameo Coral, Not Quite Navy and Very Vanilla and I used the SU! Scallop Edge punch, of course. This card is a tribute to the $79 sandals I bought this week for only $20 at Dillards! Who doesn’t love a bargain?

You Take the Cake
I have been going through a cupcake obsession…both on paper and in true sugar-coated mass, so this On A Pedestal stamp set has sung it’s siren song to me once again! 
The best thing? It contains a Birthday Cake for ONE! A Granny B’s Original Pink Sugar Cookie…
Truth in advertising: Let’s be honest…did you know the label for this cookie reads 4 (yep that’s FOUR) servings per container? A serving is actually 1/4 of the cookie, which contains 130 calories, 6 grams fat and 17 carbs (good to know if, in my case, you are the mother of a diabetic). I guess that on your birthday, reading the Nutrition Facts would reduce the pleasure of the expected sugar rush, so don’t bring that up to the person you would give this to 😀
Things I Love, Clean & Simple style
So I’m trying something new! Here is a card I created using the Fall-To Layout #57 from Clean & Simple Stamping: 
Supplies Use: Rich Razzleberry card stock & ink, Bermuda Bay and Chocolate Chip Ink, Thoroughly Modern Designer Series Paper, Whisper White card stock, Hodgepodge Hardware
Stamp-a-Stack class
This is one of the cards we will be making for the Stamp-a-Stack event on Saturday, August 29th at 10 a.m. in Washington, UT (idea borrowed from Patty Bennett)
You can “Stamp a Stack” of cards: 4 each of 4 different designs (includes envelopes) for just $20…and who doesn’t love a beautiful handmade card MORE than an expensive generic card from the store?? All the material will be cut and ready for you to stamp and assemble, simply bring scissors and adhesive (SNAIL recommended)
Please RSVP by Monday, August 24 to ensure we can order plenty of supplies: 801-376-8685
Register with a friend for TWICE the fun! And when you register for both the Stamp-a-Stack AND the “Things I Love” Stamp Camp in the afternoon, it’s only $40 (save $5).

Royal Blog Tour
Welcome to Utah, blog travelers! I am delighted to introduce you to the new Stampin’ Up! set On a Pedestal! The 2009-10 In-Color palette seemed to compliment the “party” feeling, so I used Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry and Crushed Curry for these cards:
For this pull-up card, I added a sentiment from the Chit Chat rub-ons…isn’t it cute? Below is the surprise you find when you pull it up 🙂
As another SWEET treat for stopping by, leave a comment along with your e-mail address and you can be entered to win my BLOG CANDY: the Spring Solitude stamp set and co-ordinating Solitude wheel (retired but brand new).

In-Color Spotlight: Melon Mambo
The last 2009-2010 In-Color spotlight is Melon Mambo: BRIGHT and cheery!
And this darling stamp set is On A Pedestal, which is the stamp set I’ll be showcasing for the Royal Blog Tour! So mark your calendar and come by to see more samples on July 26-28!
In-Color Spotlight: Soft Suede
This “Soft Suede” card was crafted for me by my friend Vivian…
…and includes the Soft Suede polka-dot grosgrain ribbon! It was stamped with a new hostess level 3 set, Kind and Caring Thoughts. Thanks for sharing, Vivian!
In Color Spotlight: Bermuda Bay
Ahhh, Bermuda Bay is the essential color of summer and I LOVE both the color AND this new stamp, Medallion. I tried putting a greeting on it, but it just doesn’t need it 🙂 The Bermuda Bay patterned paper is found in the “Thoroughly Modern” Designer Series Paper package. Simple? Yes. Beautiful? Definitely.
In-Color Spotlight: Crushed Curry
Flashback to the colors of the 70’s: Crushed Curry brings back happy memories of Tupperware parties, the music of the Carpenters and shag carpeting! Paired with black, it felt like my great-grandma’s kitchen:
Paint with a little bleach and it will wash out the color, then pull out the sewing machine for the detail on the side! I’m off to see Harry Potter! See you tomorrow…
Edit: Sorry I forgot to say that this set is a new Hostess Level 1 set, Country Morning!
