“Hey Mike…what day is it?”

It’s Hump Day!  I just crack up every time I see that commercial on TV.  So I decided I needed a “Hump Day” stamp.  Before you start looking through the Stampin’ Up! catalog, let me just tell you that you can’t purchase this stamp,  but you can make it just like I did.  That’s right, in case you didn’t know it, Stampin’ Up! has a kit that allows you to carve your own stamps.  The kit is called “Undefined”  It comes with a large piece of carving rubber, 2 carving tools, 4 blocks of wood, a marker, and directions.  I googled “drawing of a camel” and a photo like my stamp came up.  I printed the image, traced it onto the rubber and carved it out, and voila, I have a Hump Day Camel.
 
If you like this camel I’d love for you to leave me a comment below.  Oh, by the way…Happy Hump Day!

I love how the Stippled Blossoms stamp set leaves such a wow impression when people see it in use.  This is a card I designed for a demonstrator event this past weekend.  I heard so many comments about how they loved Stippled Blossoms.  No matter what you do with this stamp set you just can’t go wrong.

As I told you in a post last week, my 10 year anniversary with Stampin’ Up! was yesterday!  I offered a pretty awesome sale from September 25th – September 29th and let me just say, a bunch of you took advantage of the sale.  That tickles me to pieces, so much so that I just wanted to let you know that
“I Freakin’ Love You!
