    Michelle, you are so inspiring. I have been a SU Demo for 5 years and really never paid attention to the landscape stamps. Now you have me hooked! When I see your cards I feel like I am literally looking at the true scene and not a card. Kudos to you. You are a master at braying. Would you consider a trip to Las Vegas for a class? LOL. I would love to see a tutorial on the bookmark if you ever have time after your sister leaves. Have fun with her……you deserve it!

    It was nice of you to offer up the book mark as blog candy. It’s really cute.
    I would love to have a memento of my favorite “blog person,” so please include me

    You’re so lucky to have a sister to stamp with you! My sisters don’t have any interest in it at all except the one that lives 10 hours away and when she’s here, it’s so hectic, we don’t get any time to craft! I would love to win your little birdie bookmark! Kathy Eddy
