Come on in to Art 'n Soul. There are still a few of the new Distress color items; demand seems to have exceeded what Ranger predicted and so they're somewhat behind on production. More will be coming in. And there are still a few of the Rosie Roadshow stamps left for you to chuckle over and purchase . . . they have the greatest images and sentiments for humor and whimsey.


The Impression Obsession blog is having fun with a Spring Designer Die Hop. A great place for you to look now that so many of you picked up your Impression Obsession order recently at Art 'n Soul. I really liked this card from Jenny Gropp:

On the Elizabeth Craft Designs' blog, there were two different postings that I enjoyed viewing. The first is this 'springy' and colorful card from Frances Byrne.

That's all for tonight. Turning in early because I have an MRI test tomorrow morning. I'd rather be playing in the craft room but I wanna find out what's causing all of these sensations in my head! Hopefully I'll see you back here tomorrow night.
