THIS ONE IS FOR LAVERNE!

This is a card my dear demonstrator friend, Nancy, made for our Demo Diva get together this month.  I absolutely love this technique she showed us, and I will be sharing it in upcoming Rubber Room classes.  I have been super busy lately with house renovations and a friend with health issues and house guests and just basic chaos going on.  Tonight, however, was my night to relax and enjoy my job.  I celebrated the New Catalog in the Rubber Room with a Bingo Bash.  I had Nancy's gorgeous card on display and my customer, Laverne, brought it to me and told me I needed to put it on my blog; people need ideas for sympathy cards, this is a great card; seriously, you need to put it on your blog... obviously this was the motivation I needed to finally get this card on my blog.  This one is for you, Laverne; and thank you so much for motivating.  And thank you, Nancy, for sharing with me.

PERFECT BLEND CATALOG PREMIERE SWAP CARD!

This card was made by one of the Divas in my card group, Caroline.  This is one of my favorite stamp sets, and I like that she added a couple rhinestones to "bling" it up, baby!

YOU HAVE TO LOVE SCRAPBOOKING LIKE THIS!

OOOOHHHH, when I saw this, I knew there was no way I was not going to share it.  I am seriously wondering if he might like to join us in the Rubber Room for our May Rubber Room Unscripted event.  I will be working on my new Project Life Scrapbook, and I know he is willing to help.

Should I extend an invitation?  Oh that's right, everyone is invited!  All you have to do is RSVP before May 9th, and you're in.  Don't forget this month I will be doing a Project Life demonstration for you and sharing the Project Life/ Stampin' Up! product line with you.  Click HERE for all the details!  Or maybe if he can't make it on Friday for all the fun, he can join us on Monday, May 19th between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. for the Project Life/Stampin' Up! Demonstration.

You are more than welcome to join me in the Rubber Room for either demonstration event.
