Happy Birthday to Ann

It's a grrrreat day to have a birthday!  I wish I could show you the card I made Ann, but some things are best left private.  Instead, I'll share a card that she made with her Yuba City Stamp Club this week.  It was inspired by a card we saw somewhere – probably on the exclusive Stampin' Connection that is only available to Stampin' Up! Demonstrators.  There are tens of thousands of Stampin' Up! card ideas to inspire you – when you jump the broom and join us.  (Find out how here.)

Before I show you the card, let me show you a picture of 4 of our 24/7 Stampers who met this weekend to stamp together at the Stampin' Up! Regionals in Dallas, Texas this weekend.  They even took me!  (Left to right are Nellyne, Linda, Stampin' Up! CEO & Co-Founder, Shelli Gardner, Sara & Marci.)

Don't they look like they're having fun?  Some of them met each other when they went to the Stampin' Up! Convention in Salt Lake City last summer.  And some of them just met yesterday.  There are no strangers in stamping.

Wouldn't this make the perfect bridal shower card?  Everyone made it just a little differently on Tuesday night.  I think it would be grrrreat to make in the bride's colors.  That's something you can do with a hand made card, but it's difficult to do when you're forced to shop for your cards. 

You card makers know what I'm barking about.

We're partying this whole weekend.  I hope that Ann gets time to stamp today.  That's what she REALLY wants to do.  Well, what she REALLY wants for her birthday is for me to hit my 1,000th Facebook Fan.  (While I write this, we're at 993.)  Those of you who are taking part in her online party need to get your orders in today.

Here's some of what she used for this Very Vanilla and Calypso Coral card.
