Artistic Etchings: Amour

Happy Saturday! Hope your weekend is going well!


I just got home from the Stampin' Up! Regionals in Fort Worth...well, I had a short nap when I first got home...but talk about a good time! My up, upline had a shoebox swap at the Embassy Suites where we stayed last night (what a NICE place that is!) and this is the card I made for it using Artistic Etchings. It did involve some hand-cutting, but no one complained...not to my face anyway! hee! hee!


The Regional was great, LOTS of good stamping ideas shared! Shelli made it, which is always exciting! I had a great time with friends Lori and Shelby, caught up with lots more sister demos I don't get to see near enough, met some major talent like Christie in person for the first time (she did an amazing on-stage WOW demonstration!), I swapped with Twila even though I didn't realize it until later (she also did an amazing on-stage WOW demonstration!), but I never could find Lisa or Suzy, bummer! I'll try to get some swaps photographed and uploaded soon.


DH just got home, so I better go and check on him! I'm sure he missed me terribly! ha! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!

What a great card! Glad you are finding some time to play and stamp. I still haven't made it to that place yet - although I am having a blast in second grade!

Gorgeous, Angie!! I love this card and I love that set, but it's just not my style. Funny, because almost every card I see made with it catches my eye! I'll just have to hope you'll make some more so that I can enjoy the set through you ;) TFS!

This card is gorgeous!!!!! I have Artistic Etchings on its way to me (WHEN it eventually ships) but the other set wasn't even on my wish list. Now you've got me thinking. Grrrr.
