Mornin’, my peeps! Hope the week is moving along nicely for you! I realized last night that OnStage is THIS weekend! I don’t know when I thought 7 Apr was, but…apparently it’s THIS weekend! And Brian King’s Spring Stamping Event is the day before that!! Yikes – I went from rolling smoothly along to behind-as-I-can-be! 😉 But it’s all good – cuz…it’s going to be AWESOME!! And, I’m going to get my first peek at the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog! Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-HOOOOO!!!

But – I’m getting ahead of myself! Today, being Tuesday, is all about the new Stamp Ink Paper challenge. We’ve got a theme this week – Happy Birthday!

Stampin’ Up! Watts of Courage for the World Autism Day Blog Hop!

Posted on April 2, 2018 by stampsnlingers

Good morning, y’all! Today I’m fortunate to be taking part in a wonderful Blog Hop celebrating World Autism Awareness Day (which is…well…today!) 🙂

While I’m not directly affected by autism, did you know that as many as 1.5 million Americans today are believed to have some form of autism? And this number is on the rise. Based on statistics from the U.S. Department of Education and other governmental agencies, autism is growing at the startling rate of 10-17% per year. At this rate, estimates state that the prevalence of autism could reach 4 million Americans in the next decade. And, autism knows no racial, ethnic, social boundaries, family income, lifestyle, or educational levels and can affect any family, and any child.

So – to show my support on World Autism Day, I made a card using the Ribbon of Courage stamp set and…Watts of Occasions! Take a look-see:

Stampin’ Up! Hold on to The Cross of Hope for Easter!

Posted on April 1, 2018 by stampsnlingers

Happy Easter, y’all! Rejoice in the miracle of this day!

So – bad news first. 🙁 I’m not going to be doing a FB Live video tonight – sorry! I’m cooking today and going to our friends’ for dinner, so…it’s just not in the cards. And – I suspect y’all have plans of your own! So – we’ll make a date and meet again next Sunday!

The good news is that I have a whole card – with instructions! – to share with you right now! No sneak peek! 🙂

I felt that an Easter card was called for, so I went to my Hold On To Hope bundle – which includes the Cross of Hope Framelits. I added in some leaves from the wonderful Petals & More Framelits and a pretty little sentiment from You’re Inspiring. Take a look-see:
