Hello Vase Returning Card | Tracy Marie Lewis | www.stuffnthingz.com

I really enjoy the vases stamp sets (there are two of them now) and the matching punch. It is the perfect focal theme that isn't too flowery, and is great for someone you don't know all that well. After all who can dislike a vase with a flower in it right? Every item on this card is returning for 2019-2020 and that makes me so happy!

Favorite Swap - Daises Smile Card

I want to share this swap card because it is just so darn cheerful. The Ribbon and Wood Textures DSP are retiring and both are staple items in my own supplies so I wanted to showcase how useful they both are to use in projects. On a good note, the Daisy punch is NOT retiring. In fact, in the new annual catalog, there are two daisy punches, this one and a smaller one. How often is there an...

Retiring - Fabulous Flamingo | Tracy Marie Lewis | www.stuffnthingz.com

I just love this flamingo stamp set. It looks nice no matter how casual or careful you stamp the three stamp flamingo image. I also love the thick vertically written font. I wish we could get a whole set of sentiments with that font!

Alas, this is a retiring stamp set, one you will want to get before it retires. I am so glad I bought this. It will be going into my "permanent" stamp...

retiring - A Good Day | Tracy Marie Lewis | www.stuffnthingz.com

I am a little slow to post this lovely project right? I came home from November OnStage with oodles of swap cards, most of them Christmas of course. I had my husband paw through them and this was his favority. Why? I asked. And his eloquent response was, because it is cheerful and I like yellow. So there you have it!

This project was created by none other than one of my crafting buddies...

Alternatives - April 2019 Paper Pumpkin - Sentimental Rose

Paper Pumpkin Subscription Kit | Tracy Marie Lewis | www.stuffnthingz.com

I finally took a chance and set my Paper Pumpkin shipping address to the closest post office instead of going to my mail forwarder. I find that the new forward service manager is not very prompt at forwarding, and often she doesn't retain the tracking information which means I have to guess when it is time to drive the 15 to 20 minutes to the post office. 

Plus, we are in Arizona, which...

April 2019 Kre8tors Blog Hop | Tracy Marie Lewis | www.stuffnthingz.com

I cannot believe it is spring already and time for another Kre8tors blog hop! Things have been a bit crazy as we just finished two months in one location and moved on the first. Moving is generally not a big deal for us, but I admit after a record long two months in one location, packing up and then settling in to the new location was more work than I thought it would be. We are in the middle...
