Relaxing in the Oasis

My Talented Friends!!

SUNDAY OPEN HOUSE, MAY 16 AT THE STAMPING OASIS!

Here are some of the projects that were featured at our Sunday afternoon stamping get-together! A dessert buffet (lemon cake, dark chocolate brownies, cookies, and "sweet scoops" of orange sherbert, chocolate and vanilla) was served! Somehow I knew that we'd be primed for ice cream after making our sweet celebration card!
We also used the Sentimental Journey set to create a Father's Day or Birthday card. It's hard to see in the photo, but there is a "peep" circle cutout for the compass stamp. I "demo'ed a quick Father's Day gift bag and matching tag using the sparkler stamp from the new Fourth of July stamp set. I can't wait to use the rest of those terrific star and fireworks stamps well-beyond the 4th of July!!




THANK YOU, FRIENDS!!
It's wonderful to give our cards and handmade gifts but what a delight it is to receive a beautiful card from a friend! I love the featured cards--A very customized and detailed card down to the "Stamping Oasis" sign (my stamping room name) and all of my favorite little tools from Kristina Deyette.


The lovely "Thank You" card is from my friend and mentor, Cheri Wenger, whose creativity is always a wonderful inspiration for me!!

Thank you, Ladies!!

TROPICAL PARTY!!
Here are some cards created by still more creative gals using the new Tropical Party set~Betsy Bianchi created 8 Thank You's (Don't you love the grass skirt effect at the top?) and Joyce Ireland created pure bliss with her lovely creation!
Thank you so much for sharing, Betsy and Joyce!!
