Cherish Friendships

I miss the days of bringing my babies to a good friend's home and sitting while our kids play...
Life is busier than ever, taking time to sit and visit is rare.
 
This card brings me back to when my kids where content with play dates, had no school to run to and from, sports or activities to hit in a timely manner.
(Tracie, Kate... I miss you girls and those sweet days!)
Create a WINDOW card with our fun Storytime* Designer Series Paper(#126907) and this sweet Cherish Friendship* stamp set (#122882) come together to create some great memories!
Color in this card with our Stampin' Write Markers!
Stamping this in Basic Black ink (#126980) on Whisper White card stock (#100730).  Color it in with our Riding Hood Red*, Wild Wasabi, So Saffron and River Rock* Stampin' Write Markers.
 
Frame it up... with the aide of our Apothecary Accents Framelits (#127003) and Big Shot (#113439) and layer it over the stamped and colored image with our Stampin' Dimensional Adhesive (#104430).
HERE, here I messed up when stamping my chair... so to 'fix' it... I moved this banded sentiment over the 'open' space and added our Flower Trim (Spring Mini) that I tipped color with our Riding Hood Red* Stampin' Write Markers.
BAM -a  boo-boo becomes a sweet card!
Using my Scraps... using the strips of scrap to tie in the inside is easy and sure to wow.
Saying Good-Bye is hard to do!
Leaving the comforts of my friends' home (both of my very good friends have moved out of state and our kids are growing quickly...) but memories live on and (some days) keep me going.
 
Say "Hello" to these soon to retire* products!!
When you see this ( * ) you know it will be gone by the end of May!  See ALL of our Retiring Papers, Colors and Stamps (almost ALL of this card is soon to retire!!) when you CLICK HERE!

What Others are SAYING about Getting Crafty with Jamie

Jamie is so passionate and creative about making cards - and wants everyone else to join her in the fun! She is so encouraging and positive in her attitude, helping me along when I get frustrated - and then rejoicing with me at the finished product! I love going to her classes to get new ideas, learn techniques, and have loads of fun in the process. ~ Christine C.

Jamie has wicked awesome classes! If you don’t like a particular stamp or paper/ink color Jamie wants you to change it to suit your style! I did my sister-in-law’s entire bridal shower from invitations/thank you cards, party favors to decorations, it was quaint and whimsical! Everyone ooh’d and ahh’d! I’ve had lots of special requests for classes and Jamie delivers; she always has tasty treats and flavored coffees too ~Ashley W.

I have been attending Jamie's classes for over a year. Her ideas for cards are fresh and fun. She always tries to have several different styles of cards available, so everyone gets to make cards that fit their personal style. The techniques she shows each class can be used in many different applications. She is very patient teacher when instructing class members on how to use the Stampin Up products. ~ Carol D.

If I looked up the word sparkle in the dictionary, I would find Jamie Albanese picture there. I have had the sweet blessing of knowing Jamie and her family for over 5 years now. Every time I am with her I feel loved and inspired. When I am in one of her classes I feel my creative juices flow, as she encourages me to go outside my comfort zone. Jamie helped our girl scout troop make cards for a soldier who needed some encouragement!!! For any of you who have not been in one of Jamie's classes, please don't let another day slip by. She is a beautiful friend and she will become yours too. ~ Blessings, Karen:-)

Jamie has a great eye for style and flair, and it shows in her work. Yet she can pick up on your own individual style and makes great recommendations. I love that she is always flexible for last-minute decision maker mommies like me! So much fun to host craft events with your friends and family - that personal touch always means so much. ~ Adonna
