Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!  I am glad you hopped by!  My name is JOANNE CANTRELL and I live in a very small town in the middle of the United States.

I am very proud to be part of this amazing group of Stampin’ Up!© demonstrators from around the globe.  We are all in a training group hosted by the dear, sweet Kylie Bertrucci.  We are learning and working our way to Greece.

Each year, Stampin’ Up!© offers all their demonstrators a chance to earn a really great incentive trip.  So, if you would like to travel the world on someone else’s dime… just ask me how!

But, in the meantime, take a gander at what we have to inspire you with!

There was not an official theme for this blog hop, so I decided to do showcase a favorite set of mine that will sadly be going away at the end of May.  And, because I am in such a giving mood today, here is a project sheet!

Proj Sheet – Sympathy Rose

This card was made using the Rose Wonder stamp set and the Rose Garden Thinlits.  I used the Paper-piecing technique on this card.  This bundle always lent itself beautifully to that technique.  Don’t you think?

Here’s a little closer look at the piecing.

This is the perfect use for the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets.  It mess-free and saves a lot of gluing – which in turn saves a lot of time and makes this technique even easier!

Let’s take a quick look at the inside of the card.

Do you see what I did here?  I put the sentiment on the opposite side.  How often did you buy cards like this (before you were a card-maker, of course).  And, how often do you do this on the cards you make?  I very rarely ever do!  I am not sure why!  It makes perfectly good sense!

Now, I will tell you before I leave you (or you leave me…)  THE ROSE WONDER STAMP SET AND THE ROSE GARDEN THINLITS ARE RETIRING!!!  Get them now while you can.  This is a great set for many occasions.  I suggest you order it today!!!  Like right now!  What are you still doing reading this???  All you have to do is click the links below and you will be taken right to my store to add them to your cart!
