Are you Kidding?!?!

Hello, My Friends!

Can you believe August is over?  Really?  I was just getting into the swing of things having it be summer!  :(

But, the good news with time going so fast is a NEW stamp set will be released tomorrow!  Wowsers!

In the meantime, I wanted to share a few cards with you....


This card is by Emily Niehaus on our Design Team.  It uses the words2color and crayons2stamp stamp sets.  I love how she added the little flowers in the corner!  :)

Here are two great...totally different cards, using the same stamp set, turkey2stamp.....



Let's Talk Turkey by Bev Gerard from our Design Team.



Thanks by Jeanne Streiff from our Design Team...Can you tell?!?!  The 'pear' is really the turkey2stamp's turkey body!  :)  Jeanne is so clever!

Stay tuned for tomorrow's release!  Ken is getting up extra early for this one!  :)

Hugs,
Stephanie

A Tearful Goodbye.....

 
Today we are saying a sad goodbye to one of my favorite employees.  (Well, they are all my favorite, but Abby is my *extra* favorite).  ;)

Abby is one of our hardest workers.  She comes in early, leaves late and is always there when I yell, "Abby?!?!?"  In fact, the other day, the boys were running the machines later than usual and Abby let me know she was going to go get dinner then come back to check the last run (coming off the machines).  Talk about dedication!  :)

I'm proud to say that Abby is joining the US Air Force.  She leaves for boot camp this week and I have such mixed emotions.  I'm so PROUD of her dedication to our country but I'm so SAD that I won't see her smiling face everyday.

Abby,  I love you so much.  You have been such a delight to all of us at the office and to my family.  I'm so proud of you!  You can accomplish ANYTHING!

From all of us, Abby....Thank YOU for serving our country.  We love you. 

Love, your Cre8 it Stamps and Stamps of Life Family
