We had a fabulous time at the 16th Annual Doggy Dash.  I didn't know that there were that many dogs in this world!  I thought I was one of just a few!  This is me & Ann just before the Dash started.  I was even featured on KCRA's 5pm News last night!   Just another 15 seconds off my 15 minutes of fame.  Ann didn't record it, but I understand that her ankles were in there as well.

When we came home, I inspired Ann to make this graduation card for our neighbor Jessica's graduation.  Blue & Gold are her old school colors so we cooked up a little cap & diploma with Stampin' Up! Brilliant Blue & So Saffron. 

Isn't it purdy?  Ann & Cecil went next door to party with the family & my buddy Snoopy.  (yes, that's Snoopy that can climb trees).

Check back EARLY tomorrow so you can get the retirement list & grab your savings before they go bye-bye.  OR get on Ann's newsletter list now & have it dropped right into your mailbox.

You should join us next time!

Ann's got a Watercolor Class that's coming up in June.  They're not doing this, but there are 6 cool projects that they WILL be doing.  Just check this post to sign up or go check out the class in the mail for a video online class.

OH YEAH!  Ann wants me to send a shout out to Megan Duarte from Biggs, CA who is our newest 24/7 Stamper!  She's already given me a nice scratch behind the ears.  I'm ready for more!

You can join us too!  Check this out!

Even $5 or $10 would help.  You can donate here.

Last night my stamper girls came over & made cards for the church.  I think they did their best ever!  Ann's done this card with this set just a little differently each time.  I think this one was the best!

I especially like that Ann was paying attention when I told her to take the picture with the shade of the blinds in the background.  She follows instructions well.

In a day or two I'll share the sparkly rose card that they made to take home.  Or maybe the tri-fold card with the butterflies & the texture that Ann got.

Decisions, decisions!

• Ana Colon from Guaynabo, Puerto Rico
• Deb Benzenberg from Saginaw, Michigan
• Arlene Pozzo from Winchester, Connecticut

This first card from Noelia in Puerto Rico.  She couldn't come to the party for the Divas on Monday night, but she sent hers in.  Some of us don't get to see a lot of stamps in Spanish.  Here's your chance!

And here's one below by Marcy in Canton, Ohio.  She's a bit far away too, but both stampers were celebrated!

Both of these cards feature the Designer Series Paper that's on sale to "Buy 3, Get 1 Free".  And if you're on our newsletter list, you know how you can get FREE SHIPPING on top of that!  Just scroll up to the top left & sign up today!

Learn how to paint your textured Love Notes like a pro in two sessions on June 25th or 27th.  Blender Pen included for you to take home.  For only $5 more, you'll get an Aqua Painter too!

Normally, you would have to have a $300 or a $500 order or party/workshop, but now you can win one!  WOOF!

Tonight's the night when Ann celebrates her top performers in her 24/7 Stampers crew.  You should join them!  Everyone gets to participate at least once.

Grab 'em before their gone!  This class was way too much fun to keep for ourselves.  You make a box that opens up to show up to 9 pictures, a 12" x 12" scrapbook page and a gift card.  Just use this PayPal link to get your full color instructions and pre-cut cardstock.  The box is even pre-scored for you!

Hand stamped is best, but the gesture is what's important.  You can also go to the Let's Say Thanks website to send them a special e-postcard designed by a child.

Hope you like this card.  You can see a REAL close up here though it doesn't do the Sparkling White Cardstock justice.  Remember - not ALL troops are men!

They also won for best catalog!  Speaking of catalogs, the Crystal Ball contest is coming later this month.  Get your predictions of what you believe will retire and get ready to win!

Its going to fun - but especially when you get in on the Early Bird price.  Love those birds!

Today's card is for you Glitter Fiends.  You know who you are.  You know there's glitter on your face, but you don't know what color it is.  For you, it's a card made with Heat & Stick & Stampin' Up!'s Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.  Don't you just love this Soft Summer set?  I can hear you now.  Oooooo - Aaaaaaah!

Time to start thinking about Mother's Day.  My birth mom is in Oregon, but I think that I'm going to stamp a card for Ann.  I need some inspiration. 

How about this one?  They made it at the Technique Geeks class this week.  Ann's calling this one Watercolor Mosaic because that's what it looks like.  Just click on the picture to admire the close up.

If you're thinking that you need something fun for your mom or need to give your family the hint, contact Ann today about a gift certificate.  She can work it out.

Can't wait for the next time you all come stamp with me!

Please email Ann if you're interested in getting some of the CD Holders in this month's newsletter featured project.

Here's Lyn's swap from the 24/7 Stamper Meeting.  She's one of our newest demonstrators.  Didn't she do a great job?

Speaking of new demonstrators, here's where I get to welcome Kathleen Barrett of Little Rock, Arkansas & her Agility Girl, Sadie, to our team of 24/7 Stampers.

You don't have to have a dog to be a demonstrator on our team.  But it helps if you at least like me!

As always, just click on the pic for a real close look.

Be sure you get on the newsletter list to see what else I've got cookin'!

Funny, but this lady doesn't say anything about giving a treat to your subject when they're done.  I think that we'll have to send her that one because that's my favorite tip!

If you're hanging around the house, then how about enjoying this cool Stampin' Up! instructional video about how you can use the Designer Series Papers on your projects.
