I hope all of you are safe and that your power, phones and internet are finally working!  We had quite a mess here and they're still cleaning up!  It sounds crazy that many of us were stamping in the storm but we were!  At our Team Meeting Saturday, one of our team members brought an incredibly beautiful scrapbook that she made IN THE DARK!  Amazing!  

Here's my Monday card for today.  I'm hapy to have Paper Crafting as a hobby and a business!  I hope you enjoy it. 🙂

You are going to LOVE this new trimmer! They've thought of everything!  So many features of this tool make it the best on the market. The precision tip on the cutting blade allows you to pinpoint precisely where you're cutting. The handle shows you exactly where the blade will cut, making it easy to see exactly where your cuts and scores will begin and end. And, with the specially-designed insertion point, the handles snap into the track easily without bending or bowing the track itself-which helps to keep the track straight and rigid.

Here are some of the great new features of the Stampin' Trimmer:

• Full 12" cutting TRACK so your blades don't have to be removed!
• The blades lock into place for easy travel!
• The cutting base is 6 1/4" so you don't have to use the extender arm for your basic cuts.
• The extender arm is 14 1/2" with a full ruler measuring down to 1/16"
• All rulers and measurements are under plastic so they don't wear off!
• Non-skid feet on the bottom
• A storage compartment underneath for your extra blades and bone folder!

Watch this quick video to see it up close! You can Email me or order it online today!

I love the simplicity of this card.  We made something similar at my upline's (Christina Crawford) meeting a few weeks ago and I couldn't help but recreate it and add a splash of color.  I hope you like it. 🙂

I'm finally able to post some cards!  Like so many in the Northeast, I have been without power or internet since Sunday!  Ran to my Mom's to get these to you.  My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by this crazy storm!  

The impending storm made me miss my kids more than usual so I made these cards for them.

Enjoy!
