Stampin Up Fifth Avenue Floral

Hiya Friends!! Look. . .I created a card using a Stampin Up stamp! That's a cause for celebration! Why? Because I haven't been using my Stampin Up stamps often these days. Just too many stamps to use. . .but my goal is to use my Stampin Up stamps at least once or twice a week!

I think the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set is the only one in the new catalog that I felt I MUST have. I love this set and can't wait to use it on my projects. Hey, if you want to buy it from my SU online website, you can shop online: Click Here

I know. . .I'm sorry for pitching a sale but other than two or three people buying from my online website each month, I'm debating whether it's worth paying for. I'm also hobby status right now and no longer have regular customers. . .I think I may need to give up being a demonstrator.

I don't want to give it up because I may find time to be active again but at the same time, I can't be meeting my $300 quota each quarter on my own. Anyway, if you need something from SU and you don't have a regular demonstrator. . .help me out for the time being until I can return to active status. LOL!

Gosh, I've been busy for the past few days. Something is always coming up. It's those unplanned things that sort of get in the way.

Yesterday my husband and I decided to hang out at the casino resort near our home. It's called "the Pechanga Resort and Casino". I only lost a $100 . . "only"? LOL! Yeah I know, any money lost is bad but actually, I've lost more than that in the past when we we're in Vegas. I'm much smarter now. . .I don't continue if I'm at my "$100 loss threshold"

When I mean a $100 loss, I mean money that I had actually put in to those dumb slot machines. It's not including all the money I actually won and fed back into the machine! At one point, I was ahead by $200 but my greediness had me glued to the chair feeding the machines until I lost my own money. Arggh! If I was smart I should have walked away when I gained $200 but I wanted to win the progressive. Dumb? Yeah, I am but I'd like to think that maybe, I'll win the progressive. . .or anything more than just $10 at a time.

Anyway, I better start discussing my card. . .LOL! I can chat about anything, lemme' tell yah. Thank goodness for Facebook. Lot's of nonsense talk going on there! LOL!

I colored my images with Copic Marker, cut them out and layered them. I decided to use a non-SU designer paper because I still had a bit of scrap of desinger paper from the project I made on my last post. I then added a bit of Stickles. . .that's about it!

Are you hating all my bright yellow and orange cards? Too much brightness for you. . like "whoa"! LOL! I don't know what is going on with me but I've been wanting to use all these bright colors . . .typically, I don't like them but lately they've been calling me. . ."Maria, Maria. . . "

Anyway, hope you all have a fantastic day. I'll see if I can visit your blogs some time today!!
