CREATIVE JUICE – Week #37

I struggle with masculine cards so today I pulled out a stamp set that I ordered awhile back but never got ink on it. It’s called Enjoy Life. What drew me to this set was the guy on the bike (Mr. Awesome loves to cycle) and the fonts and sentiments are amazing too.  This stamp set was created by my friend, Connie F., who reached the Million Dollar sales mark last year.

  • Get creative with your color combinations.

I actually used the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series paper. That paid pattern was perfect for a masculine card!

Have you been trying to leave comments on Simply Simple Stamping but they never posted?

 Gotta love technology. I picked up a little glitch that was causing my website not to post any comments that were left. I am SO sorry it took me so long to realize what was happening but THANK YOU to those of you who emailed me to let me know. Now that I am back from my trip to Michigan, I could look into it.  WE ARE BACK! All is well and I look forward to hearing from you!

We have a fun weekend planned for the family.  Sunday, we are driving to Tulsa to see the musical “Wicked“. I think this is my 5th or 6th time to see this show but it’s one of my favorites. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s the story of the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch of the North in “Wizard of Oz” only this is the story of everything that happens before Dorothy showed up. It’s a wonderful story that reflects on how to see people. Was the Wicked Witch really wicked? Why does being green make her so hated by the world?  And was Glinda really as “good” as she made herself out to be?  What I love most about the story is that anyone who sees it, has a change of heart about how they perceive people. It’s absolutely beautiful.
