Cheer Up Buttercup



Just a quick card today. I still have been working on my NC boxes and helped up at the Clubhouse yesterday. My day today is full of errands.
 Hopefully, I can get them done.

  My knee continues to give me problems. It takes all I have to walk through the parking lots and through the stores. Believe me, metal on metal is NOT a good thing.  Although I don't want to go through a second surgery, I have no other choice. It's looking like the end of  January at this point.
At least it after the Christmas Holiday and before beautiful Spring!

Well, enough of that. Onto the card. This is the first "Polaroid frame" card I have made.  I know, I'm a little behind with the trends.  I did peruse Pinterest  and found some beautiful examples. 
 I definitely will need to be doing more of this type of style. 

 Stampin'Up! is coming out with a framelit that will do this in our
 January 2014 mini catalog.  So stay tuned to that.
My frame was cut at 3" x 3 1/2" and I lined up a square 
Nestibilities within that frame and cut it out with the Big Shot.

Say it All 1 & 2




 I believe this is my first posting on Stampin' Up! Photopolymer stamps. I truly think you will enjoy using these, especially if you are a fairly new stamper. Even an "old" stamper like myself, enjoys the easy placement they offer.

Why not check out he video BELOW and see for yourself the benefits of Photopolymer.

 Some benefits:
  • They're entirely transparent for perfect placement every time! 
  • They are durable. The photopolymer material is designed to last. 
  • Sticky, making these stamps stick amazingly well to SU's clear blocks.
  •  They won't yellow or cloud up over time.

I hope you have a wonderful day today and can be creative.
 This time of year is so busy, but take a little time for yourself.  I'm headed to my Studio for a few hours, then to finish unpacking some boxes from my NC home. Which by the way, have been in my spare bedroom at least 2 months!
