~WEEKLY DEALS~ 

Good Morning All, 
What a day it's been here in Colorado... 
dumping rain & hail all over our state. 
I was on my way to a doctor appointment when I 
got caught up in some major street flooding. 
Fire trucks passed through traffic & blocked the street. 
A cute fireman went to each vehicle & told us we 
had to turn around...*Home Sweet Home* Bound! 

I thought I would work on my blog for our... 
~August 30th Stampin' Up! Workshop~ 
And...*Summertime* Theme Card Exchange. 
Judy will be our hostess. Yay Judy! 
Hostess Code: A733QVQT 
These cards were planned & created early/mid June. 
Since most of our group had vacations & other activities 
going on through the month of July, we decided to postpone 
our workshop & place online orders until August. Well, as 
you can see by our late date that things are still going on, Ha!

~Diagonal Double Pocket Card~ 

Years before I became a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, 

I would travel to Fountain, CO for monthly workshops. 

Sarah *MilesOfStamping* showed us this unique fold. 

We followed Claudia Rosa's Tutorial. 

The {far right} Stampin' Up! Charbon DSP 

was my very first Diagonal Double Pocket Card.  

I Love It! 

Thank You Sarah! :) 

Now It's My Turn... 

I started out by telling the girls that I had a 

Shhhhhh... *Top Secret Card Idea* 

Not knowing what I am up too... 

I ask them each to choose a Stampin' Up DSP 

stack {not specialty} from pages 142-143 of our 

2015/2016 annual catalog. Then I wanted to know 

which one sheet of 12"x12" paper & one color they 

liked best from the stack they chose... 

Michelle~Bohemian, 2nd from right, Bermuda Bay. 

Sue~Bohemian, 3td from right, Rich Razzleberry. 

Linda~Sweet Li'l Things, 4th from right, Watermelon Wonder. 

Lori~Sweet Li'l Things, 5th from right, Tangelo Twist. 

Judy~Sweet Li'l Things, 4th from right, Watermelon Wonder. 

Tracy~undecided Ha! funny girl :) 

Bees or Eggplant, Hello Honey or Blackberry Bliss. 

I now have all their kits together, except Tracy's JK! {haha} 

along with matching card stock & ribbon from the color they 

chose from their stack. They will also make tags for their cards 

using the Scalloped or Ornate Tag Topper punches. 

Make & Take home to stamp as desired :) 

Me~Timeless Elegance, 4th from right, Sahara Sand.
