I don't mean to beg or sound desperate, but I have Designer Paper Share spots that I've GOT to fill!! I'd like to place a Stampin' Up! order for the designer paper & ribbon shares that have been paid for as soon as possible (ideally tonight!). I don't want to make the share participants who have paid wait any longer. I have several spots open in Designer Paper Share #1, and a couple of spots in Designer Paper Share #2 that need filled. The ribbon share groups are good, and more can easily be added.
See all the share details HERE. Just send me an e-mail (nrileycm@cox.net) telling me what shares you want to participate in, along with your e-mail address, shipping address, telephone, etc. ... then I'll send you a Paypal invoice, you pay right away, and you're IN! EASY! This is the last round of shares I'll be able to offer before going back to work so don't miss out!
To say that today is a sunny day here in Phoenix, Arizona is an understatement! It is supposed to be 114 degrees again today ... downright GROSS!
What isn't gross is the new SUNNY DAY SIMPLY SCRAPPIN' KIT! I love digging in to a new Simply Scrappin' Kit! ... the self-adhesive die cuts and coordinating designer paper and textured cardstock make cardmaking extra easy!
This little card is my first attempt at playing around with the SUNNY DAY SIMPLY SCRAPPIN' KIT, and I've used this week's SCS Sketch Challenge #237 as a guide. The "just for you" sentiment is from the new stamp set, Teeny Tiny Wishes.
This week, Makeesha Byl is hosting Color Challenge #10 of Rose Red, Mellow Moss, Always Artichoke, and Very Vanilla for her weekly Inkspiration Challenge. Be sure to see what the other design team members have created ... Cindy, Karen, Kirsty, Amy, and Renee.
My card combines Makeesha's Color Challenge with Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #26. I used the new Level 3 Hostess stamp set, Kind and Caring Thoughts. What a beautiful stamp set! WOW! The designer paper is from the new designer paper pack called Thoroughly Modern.* Don't miss out on my Designer Paper and Ribbon Shares! I'm ordering round #2 this weekend. Hurry! ... only a few spots available!

Several weeks ago, I downloaded a new 3-column template for my blog and did some "spring cleaning". Since then, I've had many readers e-mail me saying they can't view the center column text of my blog. I've made many attempts to solve this problem with no success. It was mentioned to me that it could be a problem with Internet Explorer 8. If you are one of those people who are unable to view that center column, please let me know if you are using Internet Explorer 8, and are you able to view other blogs or is it just mine that you're having trouble viewing? Also, if any computer geniuses out there know why this is happening, and how I can fix it, I would very much appreciate being enlightened! Thank you for your patience!
Edited to Add: Thanks for all your input regarding this issue. I am more and more convinced that this is an Internet Explorer 8 issue, and not an iSTAMP blog issue.
