I won't be posting for a few days. I am off to CHA hoping to find new and exciting products to bring to you. Watch my website for pics of the new items and specials. I'll post my "finds" as soon as I get back.

I haven't posted in quite a while so today is the day. I am going to do a shoebox party and needed some simple cards that can be made in 15 minutes or less. I got out my Rubber Stamp Tapestry stamps and got to work. I didn't use the stamps that I sell...shame on me!...but these worked out better for me in this instance. All of the cards have either gold or crystal Stickles on them but it doesn't show up well in the scans.

I hope all of you have a fun and safe 4th. I am going to a party and I am taking a salad. I am sharing the recipe. It is so good that I could eat the whole bowl by myself!

Cashew Crunch Salad

equal parts of Romaine and Iceberg lettuce

1 c. cashews

1 pear - cored and chopped

1 red apple - cored and chopped

1/2 c. Craisins

1 c. shredded white cheese (mozzarella, romano, or any one you like)

Dressing

1/4 c. lime juice

1/2 c. sugar

2/3 c. oil

2 t. dried onion

1 T. poppyseed

1/2 t. salt

1 t. Dijon mustard

mix above together and chill for at least an hour.

You can add the dressing to the salad when ready to serve, but I put it in a little glass container on the side so everyone can add their own.

Enjoy!

I am still loving this newest sheet. I just wish I had more time to play with the images...sigh. I want to spread the joy....order this sheet before July 17th and you pay $17.00 plus shipping!!!

I am having so much fun creating with the images from the new Bella Rosa sheet. Again, the jewels on the necklace don't scan well.

Here are cards using the new Bella Rosa sheet. The dressform has Flower Soft on it at the waist and hem. You can find it on my website if you wish to purchase it. I have most of the Flower Soft line and I ship fast. The other two cards have jewels on them but they don't scan well.

Here is a picture of the newest Bella Rosa rubber stamp sheet। It has a lot of fun images on it and I hope you like it। I should have it in my hands by the end of the week। Many are spoken for but I have 10 left. If you want one, let me know. It will sell for $18.00 plus shipping.
