Missing a friend, a Swap Card and Stamp of the Month

A friend and member of our "Family" has been called Home. Miranda Cecilia Pulis left us on Sunday afternoon. She will be greatly missed by us. She touched so many lives.
So, that, on top of it being summer and having kiddos running around, I have had a busy weekend and I am having a rough time getting moving this week.

This card is one that I made for a swap with my Stampin' Up! sisters. I copied it from one that I saw on line HERE. I changed it up in just a couple places and am very happy with how it turned out. I didn't have the CoreDinations paper so I embossed and sanded Cherry Cobbler paper. It feels like it is flocked. Real cool. I also put a holiday stamp sentiment on it and added the candy cane.

Stamp of the Month: This month I am giving away the "Reason to Smile" stamp set.
I will show you a sample with it tomorrow.If you would like a chance to win, simple place an order of $25.00 or more. I will put your name in the jar and draw a winner at the end of the month.
Can't get much easier!
