Featured Stamper Birthday and Two New Pairs of Shoes

Today's card was made for the featured stamper challenge over on Split Coast. Stephanie Hargis has some wonderful cards in her gallery and I chose to CASE this one.

I changed the colors and stamps used. I love the simple design of the strip of designer paper, ribbon and angled squares. I used a newly released stamp from Artful INKables called Bloomin Beauties for my image. I colored it it with my Prismacolor markers and cut the squares with my Nestabilities.The card stock is the new Vintage Cream from PTI which I love because it is nice and sturdy. The ribbon is Spring Moss Sadle Stitched by PTI also. Their ribbon is just the best for texture and colors! The designer paper is by Graphics 45 - Times Nouveau Collection - Wallflower - I used both sides of the DP - one side is the herringbone and the other side is the leaves behind my image.

Just a reminder that Kristin over at Artful INKables is offering 10% off all her stamp sets for the month of July - so don't forget to go over there and check out her stamps!

And finally I wanted to share with you two new pairs of shoes I just added to my bulging shoe rack!!! I recently found out that certain Marshalls Stores now have Shoe Megashops and there are 3 near me! So I hopped on over there to check it out and got these 2 great pair of shoes - perfect for me to wear at work in the summertime - or anytime really! Let's face it -what woman needs a reason to buy shoes !!??!! LOL !!!
