Monogram Stationary

Here are a couple of cards that I made to show my friend Kathy at The 4 Queens. I also made some very similar ones that I gave to my friend Jennie for her birthday. They are very easy to make and you can personalize them for any occasion.

As I mentioned in a previous blog, my friend Kathy asked for me to make some cards to sell in her shop. I took several for her to choose from and she bought them all! I'm very excited. I'm super critical of my work, so I wasn't sure if she would like them. I guess she did. I didn't take pictures of all the cards, but I'm sure if you stop by her shop you can see them and maybe buy them!

Don't forget to post your guess for the card giveaway.

Fireworks, Friend Card and Blog Candy!

Well the 4th of July weekend is winding down. We saw some really great fireworks Saturday night from my in law's home. The Texas World Speedway was celebrating its 40 anniversary and had a fireworks show. I was really impressed.

Here's a friend card I did using the Western Sky Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! I also used White, Ruby Red and Soft Sky CS. The stamp set is For a Friend Hostess Set. I really like these colors together. It reminds me of the triple smile card I did a while back, click here to see it.

I'm expecting an order tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it as usual, but this order is especially exciting because it includes stamps that I'm going to be using to make cards that I'm going to sell at my friend Kathy's shop, The 4 Queens. I have several cards already made for her, but these new ones are being made with stamps with her and her shop in mind. Here's a hint....these stamps are found in the Spring/Summer Stampin' Up! catalog and if you check out my previous blog about The 4 Queens, you should be able to figure out at least one of the 4 stamp sets I ordered. Post a comment with your guess and I'll randomly select someone to receive a card using that stamp set. You have until Thursday at 8:00am to post.

The 4 Queens

I visited my good friend Kathy on Saturday with my friend Lacey and my gal S. She owns and runs a great store in Navasota TX called The 4 Queens. They sell lots of great home decor stuff, jewelry, clothing and almost anything in between. They are working on their web page, so be sure to check them out in Navasota if you are in town. Their address is 203 E. Washington Ave, which I call main street. Their store is brown and yellow with a pink sign that says, The 4 Queens. S was so cute and honest. We walked in and she said it smells good in here! It did.
