Don't Get Prickly Over Googly Eyes

Is there any occasion that the cactus images and greetings won’t work for? They seem to fit in with everything I’ve come up with. And those googly eyes. I knew I wanted to use them and am so glad I found 1 of the probably 13 packages I have. They make me giggle.

I CASEd a framed art piece of Audra Monk’s to make the googly eye card for today’s video.Thank you to those of you who watched and encouraged me this morning. I love spending time together even when it is only virtually.

A few week’s ago I featured the Cactus Cuties on my blog here.

The Just a Note card is also a CASE of Audra Monk’s. It’s a preview of a design for next week’s exclusively Online Card Class. If you haven’t subscribed to the newsletter, please do. That’s how you receive the news about upcoming events and specials.

The Facebook Live

Next week I will draw a winner from those who leave a comment or share my video or blog post. The winner will receive a brand new Misty Moonlight Ink Pad. Why do I have an extra Misty Moonlight Ink Pad? Fair question. I goofed up on an order and received it by mistake. This is a retiring color; be sure to leave a comment to be entered in the drawing.

Audra featured the Sale-A-Bration paper, Sunshine & Rainbows, in her project. I chose the retiring Pattern Party for my card. I checked the Discontinued List earlier today and this paper was still available. It’s a host only item and can be purchased with Stampin’ Rewards on an order $150 or above. It is a tremendous value. I have used it and loved it all year.

What’s up next?

Next week is a pretty busy week; I’m afraid April will pass in a blur.

There’s an online class on April 21 featuring the Cactus Cuties Stampset
The Kit & Crop event is April 23 featuring the Flowering Rain Boots stampset and the Flowering Fields DSP
Tuesday Express meets on April 26 and features the Hello Beautiful Bundle
Card Club meets on April 30 and features the Artfully Layered Bundle

Registration continues for the Making A Difference for Ukraine event that Jeanne Neilson, Judy Tuttle, and I are offering. Click here for more details.

The Kit & Crop event takes place Saturday, April 23 from 10-4 at the Glen Oaks Clubhouse in Hendersonville.

Think of the Kit & Crop as a crop like we used to have – bring your own projects to work on AND/OR you may purchase projects, past classes, or Stampin’ Up! all inclusive kits that I’ll bring with me. We will have a small goody bag and make and take project, and you’ll have lots of time for other crafting, laughing, and spending time with friends. You can bring your own lunch, go out for lunch, or select the catered lunch we are providing. This is a collaboration with Hope Hardy, but Hope won’t be able to join us in person. Check it out here.

The Last Chance list has been released. Don’t wait to grab your favorites. Retiring products are available while supplies last. I checked the discontinued list today. All of the ink refills for the 2020-2022 In Colors are no longer available. Most of the retiring stampsets are no longer available. A few of my favorites are still available, but not many. Please don’t wait if there is something you want to purchase. I’m glad to help you; just reach out.

I hope to see you Wednesday mornings at 9 am CST on Facebook live here and Monday mornings on YouTube Live here. If you subscribe to my YouTube channel and allow notifications you won’t miss my Monday YouTube lives. ** This week I’ll be live on YouTube on Tuesday instead of Monday.**

The recipes and supply lists are below. Please let me know if you have any questions. Happy Stamping.
