Well, I started feeling really rotten again, and I think I'll need to start my 29 days over! I think that's what you're supposed to do, right? I plan to be gone for a week-long convention in a couple weeks, so I don't want to start and then stop again.

I really enjoy making and giving away cards, though, so maybe I'll just do a short two-week give session before I leave, and then pick back up and try to do a 29-day give when I get back.

I made another card today--this time I made it with a digital crafting program from Stampin' Up!® called My Digital Studio®. I made this card to give to all of you! It's entitled Warm Wishes, and you can find it under this Discussion. I will be posting more Print & Give cards for you as time allows.



Today I also received a lovely gift from… Continue

I made another card today--using the same stamp set I used yesterday, and included blue on it again, because that's my mom's favorite color and the card is for her! I tried to make it look sort of vintage/collage, because she likes that style. She always loves getting cards, and she always keeps and displays the cards I give her. I'm not in the regular habit of sending her cards, except for her birthday (April) and Christmas, so this will definitely be unexpected.



She's a stamper, too,… Continue

I have to share with you one more gift I gave today...I let my kitty sleep in my chair. He loves to sleep on the chair I use at my stamping desk. I had a stamp set I wanted to assemble, and kitty was fast asleep in my chair, so I just picked up my supplies and moved across the room to work at my computer desk.



My cat's name is Sneakers, and he's 11 years old on July 5th. He's the first cat I ever had. I got him from the animal shelter as a kitten. He's a black cat, I think he's what's… Continue

This afternoon I made a card to send to my mom's friend Marie, in the nursing home. Marie loves the color blue, loves sparkly jewels, and loves anything with French words on it (she speaks French). I made Marie a card in kraft brown, and blue--with a blue stamped Eiffel Tower, and the word Amour, on a blue argyle background. I put self-adhesive rhinestones down one side of the card. I know she'll love it, even if she doesn't recognize my name or remember me.



Marie had a stroke a few… Continue

I just found out about this challenge this morning, and just joined the web site. Because I am a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, and make hand-made cards, I have tweaked the challenge a little bit for myself. I am going to create a new hand-stamped card every day for 29 days, with the sole purpose of giving away that card.



In taking the time to create a new card every day, I'm not only giving a gift of my time and talent to someone else when I give away the card, I'm also gifting myself the… Continue
