Welcome to Sandilovesstamping.com!!

This blog has been a long time in coming and I'm excited to share my love of stamping with you! You can read about my SU history in About Me...I've been with SU for 11 years and loving it more each year. Hence, the name of my blog and email--sandilovesstamping!

I'm located in Maryland about 30 minutes from Baltimore (near Bel Air). If you are in this area, you are invited to join the weekly events posted on my Calendar/Schedule...check it out...new classes every weekend, and, you can hostess them and earn hostess benefits! Check out the schedule.

If you are not located in the vicinity, don't dispair, you will find lots of fun activities and info coming right here on this blog.  There will be tons of samples, projects, swaps, and much more..stay tuned.

Sharing with you today:

Before I sign off today, I wanted to share with you a card that we created at the last Card Express. These cards are designed to be completed quickly but still be pretty--hence, Card Express.  Now, here's my confession...I'm a lousy photographer--but I keep trying. Most cards are much prettier in person because my photography skills are not great--any helpful hints are greatly appreciated! 

If you'd like the measurements and directions--email me. The list of supplies is below.
