Easy Events – Gender Neutral

Hi Everyone.  Happy Thursday….oh…yes…. it's almost a long weekend!!!

Before I post a quick card for you tonight, I wanted to give a shout out to KELLI, LORI and BRENDA.  YOU GUYS ROCK…..  3 more boxes of cards arrived today.  I cannot tell you how exciting it is.  Soozie and Rach also let me know that they have cards on the way.  I can't wait to sit down this weekend and start to package up and sort the cards.  I will also be taking photos of the cards that have been sent in and creating slide shows.   I promise you will have lots to oooohhhh and aaaaah about – and lots of inspiration is in store.  Thank you to all of you who have participated in the card drive.  I really appreciate the rest of you letting me know that cards are on their way, or about to be posted.  It feels like Christmas – only better.  Because the boxes that are arriving are full of goodies to pass cheer on to so many people.  Thank you!

As I have not had a single minute to get into my stamping space this week….. nor did I get the chance to stamp this past weekend… well, it means that I have no cards to show you.  So, I have to show you the gender neutral version of the baby card that I made.  You saw the baby girl card here, the baby boy version here and tonight… here's a gender neutral version for you

I've got to tell you…. I am in love with Wild Wasabi and Pool Party!  You will notice that I kept the polka dot theme going….. this time I reversed the base layer to be debossed.  The square layer embossed and, of course, I made the little dots on the umbrella white with the uni ball pen!  If I haven't convinced you yet, that this is the cutest baby card image….. you can't say I haven't tried:-)

Today, Stampin' Up! revealed the new Holiday Mini and it is full of wonderful goodies.  Really fabulous stuff.  You can click on the mini below and it will take you to the mini catalog on-line 

Let me point out a few of my favorite things from the mini for you:

• Pick your Poison DSP on page 10
• Mica Flakes on Page 21
• The Sounding Joy stamp set on page 23

I promise you, there is something for everyone.  Not forgetting, of course, the fabulous Simply Scored!    

Don't forget……. please let me know if you have cards coming for the card drive, so that I can make allowances for that as I start to get them ready this weekend.  I will be drawing the names of the grand prize winners this weekend, too and packaging up my little thank you gifts for those who submitted cards but were not the lucky winners.  I do appreciate all of you.

Have a wonderful Friday everyone.  For those of you who on the East Coast who have let me know you are OK.  Thank you for letting me know.

Hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.
