It is June already??

Yes I have finally resurfaced again - having taken a month of very little computering to spend my time concentrating on my Stamp Camp where my customers and firends come and play and crop all day :O) Plus, I had a wonderful 12 day visist with my younger sister Rachel, who came to stay - we decided to go away for the weekend while she was here. Disney was an option but way too expensive for just one day's entertainment so we went to Charleston - WV. We were going to go to Charleston SC, but from here in MI it would be a 14 1/2 hour drive - so I looked on the map and found a Charleston WV - only 6 1/2 hours drive away (allegedly - I would like to point out the mapquest does not allow time for potty breaks or eating!)
Anyway the weekend was fab - we had a lovely time - found an amazing sushi restaurant - went shopping for gorgeous shoes and ate homemade ice-cream in a tiny little ice-cream store. What more could you ask for.

June SOTM card

Here is a pretty card which I designed using the Perfect Day level 2 paper pack (love this paper - it has to be one of my favorites) and using the June SOTM and Ticket for all seasons (D1235) I chalked the flowers and added a touch of prisma glitter to the centers

June Stamp Of The Month Cards

Here are 3 more cards using this

lovely set - the one on the far left reminds me of a snowflake - prefect for Xmas and winter cards - the bottom card has been cut out - around the top and bottom edge of the card - which give a scalloped effect - I stamped the swirl in the spaces which then decorates the inside of the card.

Today it is the 1st of May - I have had such an achieving day - I have prepared 160 projects ready to teach at my classes through the month of May and I have made over 120 cards for Operation Smile the charity which Close To My Heart supports.
I call them my 'Cards For Kisses' and every card I make, I sell for $1 each - this money goes straight to Operation Smile to help pay for reconstructive surgery for people born with cleft palates.
It only costs approx $240 to do this surgery and I am very proud to say that I have raised enough money to pay for 2 surgeries already.
