Pennate Parade card #5

     First off, I apologize for not posting too much this summer and most of the month of August.  I had a very busy summer with my family - fun, relaxing, and full of travel.  Last week, I took my boys to Washington, DC.  If you know me, you know that is HUGE for me!  I HATE cities (and DC is no exception) and I'm terrified to drive in cities.  I drove, by myself, my boys and me, from Allentown, PA to Arlington, VA, where we met up with my dad for 2 full days of DC fun.  The Lincoln Memorial was their favorite place (and unfortunately, it was the last stop on day #1 and by the time we got there, my camera battery died, so I don't have pictures of my boys there :O(

     This week, I went back to work :O(  But the school must start - MAYBE????  Hurricane Irene might have a say on Monday's Back-to-School plans.  Time will tell.

     Now, on to my card...this is my last card in my Pennate Parade collection - it's a 3 x 3 card.  This card also uses the Pennate Parade stamp set (wood or clear) and the coordinating Petite Pennants Builder Punch.  I really do like this stamp set and coordinating punch:

     Here is another card using the Pennate Parade stamp set (wood or clear) and the coordinating Petite Pennants Builder Punch.  I really do like this stamp set and coordinating punch.

     This is a really simple card.  It's only the stamp set and the punch, plus a few ink pads.  How much simpler can you get?

Pennate Parade card #2

     I'm just loving this stamp set and matching punch!  Here is another card I made, (the idea came from Liz Kuhns - my upline's upline), using all of the new In-Colors.

      This card makes me smile.  I love all the colors.  I love the pennants.  I love the embossed background (I hope you can see it in this picture).

Pennate Parade card

     When the new Idea Book & Catalog came out, I jumped on purchasing the Pennate Parade stamp set (wood or clear) and the coordinating Petite Pennants Builder Punch.

     With all the traveling I've been doing since school's been out, I haven't had as much time as I would like to actually play with this set and punch.  Yet, I did get out and make this card:

     Now, I need to point out that I did not design this card.  My upline, Sally Chuchman, needs the credit for this card.  I did, however, make this card :O)

     I really like this stamp set and punch.  I will most definitely be using it more.  I plan to stamp out a "What You Can Do With This Stamp Set" sheet to share with all of you.  That will be posted next week, hopefully with more sample cards using this stamp set and punch.
