Great minds...

Hi Stampers,

I hope that you are staying warm - Chicago has been in the deep freeze and knee deep in snow for so long I can't remember what it looks like to not have snow everywhere - we're running out of places to put it now when it snows.

Anyway, I thought I'd share two similar cards with you today - just to show you that great stamping minds think alike - the first one I came up with and the second one my friend and fellow demonstrator Sue came up with for our meeting in January.

Mine used Strawberry Slush, Whisper White and Silver Foil as the colors and the Sale-a-bration set Banner Blast as well as the matching punch and the Decorative Dots Embossing folder- each of which you can get for FREE during Sale-a-bration with a $50 order - ask me how you can get yours!  I stamped and/or punched the images out and strung them on a piece of White Baker's Twine - a simple card for Valentine's Day,  I accented the love banner with a Rhinestone.

The second card by Sue uses  a similar color palette of Real Red and Strawberry Slush only with Silver Glitter paper and Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine - also accented with a Rhinestone and some extra hearts as well.

Just goes to show you that great minds think alike and that there's always similar ideas floating around in the stamping world.

Happy Valentine's Day and Stay Warm!
