FMS597 On My Mind

Hello there! My name is Shawn Marie O'Connell and I'm an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator in Southeastern Pennsylvania. Welcome!

What a week! Finally got into my stamp room today and worked on the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. 


This challenge was, well ... challenging! haha! I made two cards and, honestly, I'm not thrilled with either. Oh well, sometimes that happens! I used the Delightfully Eclectic DSP as the background for both cards. I am absolutely LOVING this stack of DSP. It's a HUGE stack and full of super fun prints. 

For this card, I wish I would've placed the Pretty Peacock strip along the far right side instead of along the bottom. This print is one of my favorites in the pack of DSP.


Here's a version with less contrast. A softer version of the first.


I send a lot of "thinking of you" cards. One of these will be going to my Aunt Sandy. She asked me to make some cards for her to send to several friends who were recently diagnosed with cancer. As I mentioned in one of my first posts, my Aunt Sandy is the person who inspired my love of cards and sending happy mail. One of these cards will be sent to her, along with the ones she requested.

How about you? What's the type of card you send most often? I'd love to hear in the comments.

I have Stamp Class at my house tomorrow night. It's a fun night hanging out with the ladies! Cards, friendship, laughter, snacks ...what more could you ask for? If you're in the Southern Lancaster County area and want to join us sometime, please email me at smostamps@gmail.com.

Wishing you all a great weekend! Thanks for popping by!
