CRAZY BUSY JULY part 4

Today's post will come to you while I am away in Salt Lake City to celebrate Stampin' Up's 25th Anniversary Convention.  It's like a family reunion on a very huge scale.  I am writing this several days in advance, so I have no details to share yet, but I do know (as Ed Sullivan used to say)  it's going to be a "really big show"! (Am I the only one who actually remembers Ed Sullivan?)

back to the July saga:
Sunday afternoon, Lou and I finally pulled out our June Paper Pumpkin boxes.  (Since we were notified that the July shipment is on its way, we thought it would be good to get this one done.)  We are so glad that we did.

Except for a little adhesive, we had all the supplies we needed in the boxes to make this cute, cute cute window card:

We could have made 3 more just like it, but decided to use some other stamps (En Francais, Elementary Elegance (retired) and  Happy Day ), we have on hand to change up the design to make:

Liking the way the tiny images from Elementary Elegance fit right into the punched out hexagon windows,  we chose the crown and greeting this time along with a stamp from Hearts Aflutter.

For our fourth card, we used Stippled Plaid, Bloomin' Marvelous, and Moving Forward (all retired) to create this card:
Small changes can make a big impact.  We are delighted with the results and think these 4 cards, packaged together, would make a great gift for someone.

Laundry is done.  Now to finish up my packing and get some sleep before the start of 2 days of travel.
Hopefully, though I am so technologically challenged, I will be able to share some same day pictures from convention.  If not, I know there will be plenty to share with you when I get back home.

Until the next time, happy stampin'!
