Faux washi tape

IMG_0626 copy
OOOOHHH!!! I LOVE–yes, love–the new Tape It stamp set from the new Idea Book & Catalog. Now I can have adorably patterned washi tape in ANY color I want, without storing dozens of spools or ever running out! As soon as I saw this set I knew it would be on my first order, and I am having tons of fun with it. I am also tickled with the new A Dozen Thoughts stamp set. The sayings are so cute and the fonts are quirky but not TOO quirky, know what I mean?

This is a card I made for sample swapping this summer–you're going to be seeing a LOT of those in the next couple of weeks as I kick into high gear to get ready for the 25th anniversary convention in Salt Lake City. I can't believe it is so close already! And my favorite team member is going to be my roomie this year. Yes, I have a teacher's pet on my team of 70 demonstrators–does it surprise you that I'd play favorites? Here's the catch–it's my mom!! : ) She was trying to wait until retirement to get into a new hobby, but I wore her down and she signed up in January. She can't WAIT to attend convention with me and the rest of the team, and she is really looking forward to going to the My Digital Studio class. Stamp Tour 2010 427

If you are headed to convention this year, be sure to stop and say hi if you see me. Mom and I will be easy to spot–she will be the one in the special head-to-toe sun-proof gear and dark glasses, and I will be the one pushing her wheelchair! We'll have bags of swaps hanging off the handles! Hee hee! People did look at us a little sideways on the Caribbean incentive trip three years ago (above, in Antigua), but we had a ball anyway. I love my momma! She has more creativity in her little finger than I do in my whole body! And she doesn't let her poor health keep her down. I'm so proud of her. Can't wait to be roomies!

  1. I’m so mad I didn’t get this on my first order! I just KNEW you would do something with it that would make me fall in love with it! They look great all lined up vertically like that! I love the colors you used too.

  2. That is so sweet that you and your mom are going to be at convention together! Your whole relationship seems sweet! Praise God for moms! My mom lives a mile from me and we talk everyday. She also comes over once a month to stamp.
    I love your card! Fun colors and fun patterns in that stamp set!
