©Stampin' Up!™1990-2008

Isn't this just a gorgeous bag? My day was not exactly as I had planned, but I am keeping my promise to post this bag for you. I wanted to get matching  cards made to fit into the bag, but my scheduled sonogram turned into a biopsy, so no cards were made today. :-(  I'm not worried about the results, as they have assured me it is only a cyst, but I won't know for a couple of days for sure. They say stress isn't a factor, but I really believe stress can cause all sorts of weird things to happen to your body, and my body had been under ALOT of stress until earlier this month, so I think it is all related.

Anyway, this bag uses the Georgia Peach Designer Paper I received while traveling on the "Georgia Peach" bus back to our hotel from visiting the Stampin' Up! rubber stamp manufacturing plant in Kanab, Utah, while at Founder's Circle. The bus trip was about 80 minutes,and on the ride there our bus got to participate in a "Focus Group" with Shelli Gardner, the Co-Founder of Stampin' Up!, which was really a great opportunity to hear all the great ideas and suggestions all the demonstrators on our bus had to make Stampin' Up! better. On the way home they had us play Bingo to earn prizes, which were things like packages of the Button Bouquet buttons and rolls of wide So Saffron grosgrain ribbon. I didn't have to win a game to get the Georgia Peach paper, though, they gave EVERYONE on our bus a whole package of it! How cool is that???? I also used Upsy Daisy,( which is still on sale at 15% off for ONE MORE DAY). I inked it first in So Saffron, then used a Stampin' Sponge inked in Regal Rose to ink the edges of the flowers. I stamped the "Thank You for your friendship" in Rose Red, then framed it with a Styled Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware frame I smooshed into my Regal Rose Craft pad, then embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. I love the mottled Vanilla/Regal Rose effect! BTW, the Styled Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware package will finally be available to order beginning October 1st, along with ordering from the Holiday mini and our Birthday stamps 20% off sale! I can't wait to make some matching cards, but it may have to wait as I need to gather stuff together for a yard sale we are having at my daughter, Jessica's, house on Saturday.

I think it's time to put this girl to bed, but before I go I think I will start making you a promise everyday to fulfill the next. I promise to post a new card or project again tomorrow, won't that be fun? So since I promised you, you all can hold me accountable, ok?

Talk to you tomorrow!
