What an extra crazy and busy day!! I spent most of my time hunting down foreign patents and linking them with English summaries and then printing them off (double-sided, of course) and also saving them on the computer for one of the attorneys I work for to have and review. It was very painstaking work and took almost the entire day. I was handed sheets of single-spaced pages of patents to find – many of them were U.S., so that wasn’t a problem — but the foreign — yeesh!!
The good news — I found every single one of them. And I was doing a pretty good happy dance when the entire job was done! Finally able to move on to doing other things! Yay! Well . . . it’s a job and a good one, so I’ll take the tedious work along with the more fun stuff, right?
I spent a lot of the day getting ready for friends to come over for Stamper’s Club, too. That’s always so much fun, and we had a blast. Here’s one of the cards that we made:
What we used:
Stamp Set – Just Believe; card stock – Natural Compositions Specialty Designer Series Paper; Naturals Ivory, Midnight Muse, Early Espresso, Inks – Midnight Muse, Raspberry Ripple, Elegant Eggplant (is that it’s name?), Punches – 1-1/4″ Circle and Word Window, Linen Thread; Stampin’ Sponges.
Tips – try creating sets of cards with different color combinations,
themes, and stamp sets for many personal styles.

these ideas or some of your own:
- ·
Color the Natural Compositions Specialty Designer Series Paper with Stampin’ Write
Markers for a bold, colorful look. - ·
Use bleach in the Aqua Painter and paint
the images in the Compositions Specialty Designer Series Paper.
Once the bleach dries, the painted areas turn a softer vanilla color that creates
a beautiful monochromatic look. - ·
Re-create this card using your favorite
Designer Series Paper and coordinating card stock. Or make a gift by
customizing the colors to match your friends’ favorite colors or styles. - ·
Tie a ribbon around these great cards and give them as gifts to friends, neighbors, teachers, and co-workers. - ·
Re-create this in any theme and color by
heat embossing your favorite stamp images with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder. - ·
Step up the card and add more detail with
ribbon, brads, or buttons.
There are lots
of possibilities! Enjoy!
