Greetings from Baltimore

I am in Baltimore this weekend for a Stampin' Up! Regional Seminar. There is nothing I love more than being with my Stampin Up! friends! It is SO much fun to see these gals at Stampin' Up! Events. Such FUN!

We stayed right near the Inner Harbor Area, which is just gorgeous! The weather has been

amazing as well. We totally lucked out. And I had the MOST amazing Crab Cakes EVER! OMG, so much crab that I almost couldn't finish (almost...LOL). Check out mosseafood.com! They even ship these amazing crab cakes! Many of the Food Network Chefs have visited Mo's (like Rachel Ray!) and rated them #1!

Here are a few pictures of the Inner Harbor Area.

And lets not forget the reason we came here...STAMPING! I took lots of pictures of great ideas. Here are a couple of my favorites!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you are having an awesome weekend! I have lots more to share from Baltimore, so be sure to swing by again during the week.

Awesome Halloween Card!

I think I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was participating in a demonstrator swap for the Holiday Mini Catalog. Well, I sent my cards off to the hostess of the swap, and I got back an awesome assortment of cards! WOW! I was amazed at the talent of the group of ladies that participated! I will be selecting some of the swaps to share with you over the next few weeks.

This first one is totally over the top! I can't imaging the work that went into this one! Kudos to Barbara Pirk, a fellow demonstrator who is the creator behind this beauty.

Check it out:

This is using the stamp set Dark and Dreary. It's an accordion fold card of sorts. I photographed it on an angle so that you could get a good view of the folds. She did heat embossing on the owl and raven and the Happy Halloween on the back panel. She then sponged ink over it, to create the spooky colors behind the embossing. The designer paper she used is in the main catalog, and it is called Wicked Fun. It's awesome paper!

Now, don't ask me how to make this (yet!). I am on a mission to figure it out, so bear with me.

LOL.

I hope you all had a great Labor Day Weekend. What amazing weather we had here on the East Coast! I hope wherever you are, you had great weather too!

Thanks for stopping by!
