There's still time!

Hello stampers and welcome to Friday!  I'm excited that the weekend is here!  I'll be busy with stamping but that's a happy thing.

If you haven't attended a stamping party lately, there's still time before Sale-a-bration is over on March 31st.  During Sale-a-bration, Stampin'Up! is giving away free product to those who purchase $50 or more.  In fact, you get a free item for each $50 you spend... so you can get lots of free product.  This is definitely the time of year to stock up on consumables, such as card stock, ink refills, accessories, glue sticks, dimensionals, etc.  You know you're going to need them, so it makes sense to stock up while you can score a free stamp set from Stampin'Up!  If you'd like to attend a Sale-a-bration party send me a quick email at sjrstamps@gmail.com and I'll email you a list of upcoming events.

Today's card is the work of my talented stamping friend Shannon Carrier.  This was a swap I received at last month's Stamp2gether.  Gatherings such as our Stamp2gethers are one of the biggest perks of being a demonstrator.  It is so much fun to get together with other demos to chat, stamp, swap, and share ideas.  When you join Stampin'Up! during Sale-a-bration, the cost is only $125, yet you receive over $345 worth of product... everything you need to start your business.  If you've ever considered taking a "test drive," this would be the time! I will be here to give you the help you need to get your business off the ground.  If you decide that being a demonstrator is not for you, that's OK too.  You still get to keep the kit and no one from Stampin'Up! will call you!

OK, let's get to Shannon's pretty card.  Take a peek!

I love the way Shannon put this card together, with the triangle of designer paper in the lower left repeating the triangular shape the ribbon creates in the upper right. 

Well, stamping friends, that's my post for today!  Hope you'll enjoy what's left of the sunshine today, before the next storm blows in!  May you find a few minutes of time in your busy weekend to stamp something pretty!  Oh, and don't forget to Spring Forward on Saturday night!  Please meet me back here on Monday for another classic card!
