(we were sooooo right about that!)<br />First up is this adorable Popsicle card - so easy and so fun! Who wouldn't smile when they opened this?<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpk6ZMNHyNbCCo4d77Dj75EVuKVbjQsok3naF2iqa1gOtbK5p-NDDb1MRGzl8Wokiu25xt40FjFWwJVaXBfFiaZtKlFun5nT2lbIbbdptPW-qlRKUF-sK_xtm3BqaaLf7QwhVL5gJQdt9F/s1600/DSCN0164.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501576694261137426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpk6ZMNHyNbCCo4d77Dj75EVuKVbjQsok3naF2iqa1gOtbK5p-NDDb1MRGzl8Wokiu25xt40FjFWwJVaXBfFiaZtKlFun5nT2lbIbbdptPW-qlRKUF-sK_xtm3BqaaLf7QwhVL5gJQdt9F/s320/DSCN0164.JPG" /></a> Next, a sweet birthday ice cream treat:<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivvo0Qn3GiRUPApoUQPMsQMQVtHrmkXzM3XKI_elMxHzujiw5dSRyVYCRwmX5C5O2kM5Nyzu4t-TZncqidkZexkBEHnIQqX4kuPI6lbm36lRDHcfiZLEs2n1czyPThTg0W0DRsuWo0mG6P/s1600/DSCN0160.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501576351699457346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivvo0Qn3GiRUPApoUQPMsQMQVtHrmkXzM3XKI_elMxHzujiw5dSRyVYCRwmX5C5O2kM5Nyzu4t-TZncqidkZexkBEHnIQqX4kuPI6lbm36lRDHcfiZLEs2n1czyPThTg0W0DRsuWo0mG6P/s320/DSCN0160.JPG" /></a><br />And finally a colorful tropical tribute:<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyFGL0vTo1Fhu9AkR4vLmhFKe9fvCeLuS9IIH9KsIXfznyMKZWMMwI0ccrP2-EaliN8rJ3APPJAWmymkPjNY3DhatxAoB87YZgBZd43CzenImOnPMwyczZ7VtW97LubsCopeDVj8BqiAnp/s1600/DSCN0158.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 293px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5501576172961813202" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyFGL0vTo1Fhu9AkR4vLmhFKe9fvCeLuS9IIH9KsIXfznyMKZWMMwI0ccrP2-EaliN8rJ3APPJAWmymkPjNY3DhatxAoB87YZgBZd43CzenImOnPMwyczZ7VtW97LubsCopeDVj8BqiAnp/s320/DSCN0158.JPG" /></a><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#ff0000;">Stampin' Stuff:</span></em></strong></div><div><strong>Popsicle Card:</strong></div><div>Card Stock: Only Orange, Whisper White (100730), Apricot Appeal</div><div>Ink: Only Orange, Creamy Caramel</div><div>Stamps: Tart & Tangy</div><div>Glitz & Glam: Whisper White 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon (109025)</div><div>Cool Tools: 1 3/8" Circle Punch (119860), 3/16" Corner Rounder (119871)<br /><strong><em>Note: A popsicle stick is used for each card - non SU, of course!</em></strong></div><div></div><div><strong>Ice Cream Card:</strong></div><div>Card Stock: Pixie Pink, Whisper White (100730) </div><div>Ink: Pixie Pink</div><div>Stamps: Sweet Scoops (120078)</div><div>Glitz & Glam: 1/4" Whisper White Grosgrain Ribbon, Dazzling Diamonds (102023)</div><div>Cool Tools:3/16" Corner Rounder (119871), 1 3/4" Circle Punch (119850), Scallop Trim Border Punch (118402), 2 Way Glue Pen (100425)</div><div></div><div><strong>Tropical Card:</strong></div><div>Card Stock: Rose Red (102544), Pumpkin Pie (105117), Tempting Turquoise (102067), Whisper White (100730)</div><div>DSP: Island Oasis (117173)</div><div>Ink: Old Olive (102277), Pumpkin Pie (105216), Tempting Turquoise (100814), Chocolate Chip (100908)</div><div>Stamps: Tropical Party (120081)</div><div>Glitz & Glam: Circle Ice Brads (109111), Gold Brads (104337), Linen Thread (104199)</div><div>Cool Tools: 5 Petal Flower Punch (119880, Big Shot Die Cutting Machine (113439), Top Note Die (113463), 1 3/4" Circle Punch ( 119850)</div><div></div><div>~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~</div><div></div><div></div><div><a href="http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/tracycowee/">CLICK HERE to order Stampin' Up!<br /></a></div></div>TLCuppycakeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15165460147345250843noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7035404895750976091.post-25668705830799493902010-08-01T08:54:00.000-07:002010-08-04T07:55:40.074-07:002010 Breast Cancer Awareness fundraising card<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoC8boSaNL44HduDIVMBbhF2yVG2sJvyQj3kbOHkCd_D3KwKyh5thMN-z8IOScnn73hPQMPH4bYJSLDWZ1HLY-dErT05ytqPCKv5egUrn9f-LKky6eo0OrdMvJDVjPdul5xhyphenhyphenx4FXp-PL7/s1600/DSCN0174.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 253px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5500472760552230594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoC8boSaNL44HduDIVMBbhF2yVG2sJvyQj3kbOHkCd_D3KwKyh5thMN-z8IOScnn73hPQMPH4bYJSLDWZ1HLY-dErT05ytqPCKv5egUrn9f-LKky6eo0OrdMvJDVjPdul5xhyphenhyphenx4FXp-PL7/s320/DSCN0174.JPG" /></a><br />Happy Sunday, everyone! Just wanted to share with you my 2010 Breast Cancer Awareness card - I think it's such a fun one!<br />I will be selling these for $5 each between now and October 15th with all proceeds going to The American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk on October 16th.<br /><br />There are 2.5 million breast cancer survivors who celebrated another birthday last year because people like you made a donation in support of people like me. Helping the American Cancer Society continue their work in the fight against breast cancer is really important to me. Last year, Making Strides raised $60 million to help people stay well and get well, to find cures, and fight back against breast cancer and it happened one $10, $25, and $50 donation at a time. I’ve signed up for this event again this year because I really want to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer and your donation of any amount will help me do that.<br /><br />Let me know if you'd like to help Save 2nd Base by purchasing a card.<br /><br />Thanks a Million,<br />Tracy<br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;color:#33ccff;"><em><strong>~ Stampin' Stuff ~</strong></em></span><br /><strong><span style="font-size:100%;color:#000000;">Card Stock: Blushing Bride (119796), Whisper White (100730)</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:100%;">Ink: Blushing Bride (119786), Jet Black Stazon (101406)</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:100%;">Stamps: Motorcycle (117657), Ribbon of Hope (115552)</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:100%;">Glitz and Glam: Blushing Bride 1/2" Stiched Poly Ribbon (119267), Blushing Bride Stampin' Write Marker (119801), Crystal Effects (101055)</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:100%;">Cool Tools:Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder (120175), Ticket Corner Punch (119867)</span></strong></div>TLCuppycakeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15165460147345250843noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7035404895750976091.post-23746309909369284572010-03-21T07:55:00.000-07:002010-03-21T08:13:45.887-07:00It's Raining Cupcakes!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixK4PAUQ03c8CTCKt5V6yJ18HngtZ9re_fQt4JBgm6enIiuX2b4284M2YA0cMKqIZCnUvFrfcQAD9Bd17pjRs92c8Yfqvxtaqzr_o7tYxwntNt9oVRKxZZOlRHg01kR6HpF5LHOc2LiriL/s1600-h/P3200219.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixK4PAUQ03c8CTCKt5V6yJ18HngtZ9re_fQt4JBgm6enIiuX2b4284M2YA0cMKqIZCnUvFrfcQAD9Bd17pjRs92c8Yfqvxtaqzr_o7tYxwntNt9oVRKxZZOlRHg01kR6HpF5LHOc2LiriL/s320/P3200219.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451105442469978978" /></a><br />Found these little jewels at WalMart yesterday!
