Good morning!  Can you believe it is June 1st??  Big day at Stampin Up!  The new catalog has arrived with lots of new fun goodies and a color refresh.  Out with the old and in with the new as they say.  One color that has now been retired is More Mustard.  I had quite a bit of it so I am trying to come up with different cards to use it up.  One card I have seen a lot on different websites is this beer mug - you could use pink and make a strawberry milkshake too.  It was my hubby's birthday a few weeks ago so this was a perfect card for him.  I did add a banner across the lower portion of the card that said Happy Birthday but I forgot to take a photo of the completed card - sorry!  If he still has the card somewhere I will try and take another photo and post it so you can see the completed card.  I unfortunately do not have a "Cheers" stamp because that would be a perfect greeting to put on here.
The bubbles are just different sized circles punched out.  The handle was made using the extra large oval punch and then "biting" into that with the large oval punch. The More Mustard panels were rounded on the corners and adhered to a piece of Very Vanilla.  The handle is Very Vanilla as well but the bubbles are in Whisper White.  Stands out a little better in person than in the photo.
Enjoy the weekend!

Summer Silhouettes

Good evening!  Here is a card I made for Mother's Day using one of my favorite stamp sets - Summer Silhouettes.  I also used some of the new cool Washi tape - how easy!!  I love it!  The ink colors used are Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Calypso Coral, and Basic Black.  The sentiment is from my fav Teeny Tiny Wishes set.  You could use lots of different sentiments for this card  The black glimmer brad added a little pop to the card and just seemed to finish it off.  I got this idea from LeAnne Pugliese at weeinklings.blogspot.com.  Thanks so much for looking.

Make a Wish

Good evening.  I hope everyone is doing good.  I needed to make a few quick birthday and Mother's Day cards last week so I CASE'd this card from LA Stamper on Stampin' Connection.  I used one of the new 2013-2015 In-colors called Strawberry Slush and Basic Grey and I loved the two colors together.  This was a flower from a promo stamp set last summer but the great thing about this card is that you can stamp just about anything on here and it would look great.  You can't really tell from the photo but I put Dazzling Details in the center of each flower which really made the flowers stand out.  I finished off the card with some Basic Grey 1/4" stitched grosgrain ribbon.
Thanks so much for looking!

Mixed Bunch

Good morning.  I haven't posted in a week or so because I haven't been stamping much at all........it has been too gorgeous here lately to stay inside!!  Yay!  Spring (well - actually summer weather!) is here!  Yippee Skippee - I LOVE the sun!!!

Here is a great bouquet I made recently for a friends birthday - I love how it turned out.  I used the ink colors Midnight Muse, Gumball Green, Summer Starfruit.  The cardstock colors are Summer Starfruit, Gumball Green, Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple, and Midnight Muse. The flower centers are the 2012-2014 In-color Dahlias.  I attached the flowers to some wooden skewers and then stuck them into a block of floral foam I had squished down into the bucket.  I then filled the bucket with some yummy Lindor balls.  I put a strip of Midnight Muse around the bucket and then adherered a piece of Summer Starfruit 3/8 Stitched Satin Ribbon onto it.  It was a little work but so so worth it.  I will definitely be making more of these!!

Enjoy the day!

Mother's Day card

Happy Sunday!  It has been absolutely BEAUTIFUL here in Oregon these last few days.  My fingers are crossed it stays this way.  I have been taking advantage of the sunny skies and getting out there walking as much as I can to train for the 1/2 marathon I am walking in 2 short weeks.  Unfortunately I got a HUGE blister on my ankle yesterday due to a rather large hole in the heel of my shoe that I was unaware of.........NOT HAPPY!!  The shoes were only a month old so I promptly took them back to the running store and exchanged them for a new pair but I am worried this sucker on my ankle will not heel in time for the race.  Somehow I will have to power thru it!  Wish me luck!!

Here is the last card we did at my recent card class.  Thought this was a perfect card for Mother's Day.  A few of the ladies unfortunately do not have their mother's here anymore so they all stamped Happy Birthday on it.  The cardstock colors are Regal Rose, Lucky Limeade, and Whisper White.  The ink colors are Regal Rose, Lucky Limeade, Rose Red, and So Saffron.  The stamp set is Bloomin Marvelous from the recent Sale-a-bration promo.  Most of the ladies who come to my classes are not interested in purchasing any products- they just come to make cards- so they could care less if I use retired products, papers, ink colors, etc.  Which honestly - sometimes makes things much easier!  Especially with sentiments.  The butterflies were punched out using the Bitty Butterfly punch in the spring mini.  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Pinwheel card

Hello everyone.  Just finished my stamp class and this card was by far the favorite of everyone!!  Sounds like most of the gals are only sending it to someone VERY special or they are not going to send it at all!  hee hee!!  The card definitely took the longest to make but was certainly worth it.  I CASE'd the card from splotchdesign.blogspot.com and just changed it up a little bit with different embossing folders.I used the perfect polka dots as well as the stripes embossing folders.  The pinwheels are made using Polka Dot Parade DSP and die cutting them with the new Pinwheel sizzlits die with the Big Shot.  They are finished off in the middle with a mini brad.  I used small glue dots to adhere the tooth picks at the bottom underneath the Gumball Green ribbon.  Then I attached the pinwheels using a Stampin' Dimensional on the top of the tooth pick.  Some of the gals used the Little Leaves sizzlit in gumball green but many ended up leaving it off.  The sentiment is stamped using Basic Black and it is from the Wishes your Way set in the Spring Mini.  Was a perfect spring card to make today.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thanks so much for looking!

Butterfies

Good morning from rainy Oregon.  Was such a bummer to look outside this morning and see icky grey rain.  Hopefully the weather will turn and my son can get in some baseball this weekend.  We'll see!!
Here is a card I made the other day that I CASE'd out of the catty.  Thought about using it this weekend at my card class but decided it just wasn't up to par for me.  I like it but I don't LOVE it, ya know what I mean??  I haven't used this beautiful background stamp much and I have been trying to find a card to use it on.  It's called Parlor Prints.  The ink used is Bashful Blue and I have to be honest here and say that I am not sad that it is retiring soon.  I used to use it all of the time but ever since Pool Party came out - that has been my go-to blue and I haven't used this color in almost 2 years!!.  It does go beautifully with the Rose Red and Certainly Celery butterflies I punched out of the Color Collection  Designer Series Paper packs. I used the Scallop Trim Border on some Rose Red cardstock and mounted that behind the piece I background stamped.  Added different sized rhinestones for some sparkle and there you go.
I hope you all have a great weekend.  I will post more cards next week from my upcoming class.

Create a Cupcake

Hello!! So sorry it has been several weeks since my last post.  Between spring break, baseball for my son and basketball for my daughter - its been fairly busy around here.  I got the chance to get a few cards made last week for my upcoming class this weekend so I thought I would post one today.
This card was made using the Create a Cupcake set which is one of my favorites.  And how awesome that its a card without a cupcake!  I love it when you can use a stamp set for multiple different things. The colors used are Always Artichoke, Tangerine Tango, Soft Suede, and the retiring River Rock.  The ribbon is the 1/2 in scallop dots ribbon in Tangerine Tango.  I used my markers and colored the flower stamp with the Tangerine Tango and Always Artichoke and stamped the image 6 times reapplying ink each time.  I stamped these images directly onto the whisper white cardstock after I had punched a piece out with the 2 3/8 scalloped circle punch.  The flower pot was stamped in Soft Suede and then punched out using the Cupcake Builder punch and then adhered to the scalloped circle with a dimensional.  Then the scalloped circle was adhered with dimensionals over the top of the ribbon.  The nice thing about this card is that you can stamp just about any greeting on the bottom - it fits for several different themes.  Some of the ladies attending the class will probably make this a Mother's Day card. 
Hope you all have a great day!

Flower Card

Happy Sunday everyone.  Woke up to a bright sunny day here in Oregon - always puts me in a better mood! It's officially Spring Break here so the kids are sleeping in and being lazy :).  Fine by me!

Here is an adorable card I recently CASE'd from Elizabeth Hurst (yes - can you believe it?  I actually wrote down the name of the gal who made this card! I soo need to be better about giving credit where due.).  The cardstock colors used were Crumb Cake, Wild Wasabi, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, and Whisper White.  The card feels so Springy to me.  The stamp set used is Mixed Bunch and I stamped the image with Versamark and then embossed it using the clear embossing powder.  Unfortunately it doesn't show up very well in the photo on the Daffodil Delight but you get the idea on the Pool Party flower and it looks super cool in person.  I then punched out the flowers using the coordinating Blossom punch.  I also used the punch to punch out one flower in Wild Wasabi and then I cut it to use for the petals.  The Crumb Cake card stock is embossed using the awesome Honecomb textured embossing folder.  I am using it ALL THE TIME!!  I love love love it! The greeting is from the new Wishes Your Way stamp set that is in the Spring Mini.  The flower center is punched out with the Boho Blossom punch and then a rhinestone was added for the final touch.  You could make this card for just about any occasion.  Think I will be making this at my next class!

Bloomin' Marvelous

Good afternoon - hope everyone is doing good.  Lots of rain here today which is such a bummer since it has been so darn nice lately.  I've been able to get lots of walks in which my doggie appreciates.  Well SAB is almost over so you had all better hurry and get your orders in if you want to take advantage of this great offer. Remember - for every $50 you spend - you get a FREE stamp set or DSP out of the Sale-a-brations brochure.  Cool!  I love free stuff!!

 I just CASe'd this off Stampin Connection and am thinking I will be making lots of cards with this great layout.  The stamp set used is Bloomin' Marvelous from the SAB brochure.  I used one of the greetings as well as the butterfly, flower, and flower petals stamps.   The ink colors used are Crumb Cake, Pool Party, and Primrose Petals.  I used the Core'dinations paper in Primrose Petals from the Spring mini catalog as a layer on top of my card base.  I ran it thru the Big Shot with a retired embossing folder and then sanded it using the sanding block.  I love this paper and the look it gives cards after you have sanded it - very cool!  I also punched out a butterfly with the Elegant Butterfly punch and layered one of the small butterflies punched out with the Bitty Buttefly punch on top.  The ribbon used is the Crumb Cake 3/8 taffeta ribbon which is great for wrapping around cards and tying off.

Thanks for looking!

Thinking of You

 
Hello everyone.  Hope you all had a great weekend.  I had a wonderful time up in Washington visiting my family for my grandmother's 98th birthday.  It was great to see her and get to spend some time with her as well as one of my adorable nephews who I don't get to see very often.  Miss them all!

Here is a card that I recently CASE'd from Stampin Connection that incorporates several Sale-a-bration items.  The stamp set is called Madison Avenue and the DSP is from the Sycamore Street DSP pack.  I also used Island Indigo ribbon from the Sycamore Street Ribbon and Button Pack as well as the Vine Street embossing folder on a piece of Tangerine Tango card stock.  My card base colors are Pool Party and Summer Starfruit.  A small rhinestone was added to the center of each flower for a little pop.

I am participating in a birthday card SWAP soon so hopefully I will get the opportunity in the next few days to get some stamping done.......and of my own creations!!  You all know I don't do that very often - hee hee!!

Birthday cards


Hello!  Hope everyone out there is doing great today.  I am heading up to WA this afternoon for my grandmother's 98th birthday this weekened.  YES - 98!  And looking and feeling great - I love my grandma!!!

 I got this card idea the other day off Stampin Connection and I changed it up just a wee bit.  I love the colors Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Rich Razzleberry together.  I embossed a piece of Crumb Cake with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder and adhered a strip of Early Espresso that was punched with the scallop border punch on the bottom then adhered all that to the card base.  The 3 strips of paper were all flagged at one end and adhered  to the top of the card. The DSP strip is from the Sycamore Street DSP collection from the Sale-a-bration catalog.  Then I wrapped a piece of whisper white 3/8 taffeta riboon around it and tied a bow.  I made the top card with a cupcake from the Create a Cupcake set punched out with the coordinating cupcake punch.  I made this one for a dear friend's daughter and I think it turned out super cute.  The bottom card was more like the one I CASE'd and I used the Elegant Butterfly and the Bitty Butterfly punches as well as a sentiment from one of last years retired hostess sets.

Sympathy

Good afternoon from sunny Oregon.  It's a tad cold out but very nice blue sky.  My mom asked for some sympathy cards so this is what I came up with.  The greeting is from a retired set but the flower stamp is from a Sale-a-bration set called Madison Avenue.  I used the colors Melon Mambo and Wild Wasabi.  You could do this card in any color combo you want and it would look good.  I added a rhinestone in the center of each flower to finish it off.  I am not a Stamp-a-ma-jig gal but I could certainly see how that tool would come in handy here trying to line up all the flowers.  I eye-ball everything and having this set be clear mount made it easier.  Enjoy your day!

Just Basketball

Good morning everyone.  Hope your weekend is going well.  My daughter had her last basketball tournament of the season this weekend out at the beach and so far they are 1-1.  Hope they do great on their final two games today.  Am jealous that my hubby went and not me but my daughter asked for some daddy/daughter time and I just couldn't say no to that.....so I thought it was going to be mommy/son time but that didn't turn out the way I planned - but not much does when dealing with a 14 yr old!  He ended up having 3 buddies over last night so I actually did get some "me" time in to do some stamping so it worked out just fine.

I made 3 of these cards for all of our coaches and another mom is having the girls sign them this weekend.  Dug out my old Just Basketball set and used an old layout.  I added the Decorative Label punch off to the side and I really like how it looks.  I inked up the basketball stamp with Pumpkin Pie and stamped it on a piece of Whisper White.  Then without re-inking - I stamped another basketball.  Then I stamped once more without re-inking onto the Whisper White panel that is adhered to the card.  I then punched out the other 2 basketballs and adhered the middle one with snail adhesive and then popped up the front basketball with a dimensional.  The Basic Black net and the "swish" are both stamped right onto the panel. 

Thanks for looking!

Papillon Potpourri

Good morning!  Here is a new card I just CASE'd from Stampin Connection that features some Sale-a-bration paper as well as one of my favorite sets Papillon Potpourri.  The colors used are Pool Party, Tangerine Tango, and Island Indigo.  I just got the Apothecary Accents Framelits and I really like them.  I also used the Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack to pierce the whisper white paper all around the inside edge of the framelit.  You can currently get the paper-piercing pack for FREE during Sale-a-bration. Yippee!  That's how I got it and I think I will end up using it much more than I originally thought.  Some rhinestones were added to the butterflies to finish off the card.  Hope you all have a great weekend.

My Friend

Good evening!  I hope everyone out there is having a great weekend.  My daughter's basketball team is playing in a tournament this weekend and unfortunately they got blown out twice today......wasn't much fun!  Hopefully tomorrow will be a little better.....good luck girls!

I love the colors on this card - they are 3 of this years in-colors - Summer Starfruit, Primrose Petals, and Raspberry Ripple (my new personal fav!).  A piece of Primrose Petals was embossed with the new honeycomb folder and mounted on Whisper White after some Raspberry Ripple ribbon was tied around it.  Underneath the ribbon is a piece of paper from the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Pack that is mounted on Raspberry Ripple and the bottom edge is punched using the scallop border punch.  The sentiment is from the Perfect Punches set and is punched out with the Curly Label punch. An adorable butterfly was punched out using the new Bitty Butterfly punch in Summer Starfruit to finish the card off.  What I love about this card is that you can use just about any sentiment and punch to change it up.  I CASE'd this from Stampin Connection (yes I know I need to be better about actually keeping track of the lovely ladies names whose ideas I copy!!).

Happy Valentine's Day

Good afternoon!  I know I am a day early but Happy Valentine's Day tomorrow!!  I just made this cute card for my hubby.  I got the idea off Stampin' Connection (what's new......it's where I get almost all my ideas and where I mostly CASE from).  I used Crumb Cake as the card base.  I stamped the Wood grain image in Early Espresso onto Crumb Cake and layered that on top.  I hardly ever use the adorable owl punch and I need to use it more often.  I punched out one heart and stuck one of the owls inside so it looks like he is popping out of a tree.  I added a little glitter with the red glimmer paper that I punched out with a retired 3 heart punch.  The sentiment is from the retired set Short and Sweet.  I should have made the owls eyes looking up or down at each other but oh well. 

Enjoy the day tomorrow!!!  I wish you all much love!

Card #3

Good evening!  It's Friday night and amazingly I am here in the house all by myself - lots of peace and quiet!!  Kids are both at the high school basketball game and hubby is playing poker.  This is kinda nice!  I am gearing myself up for tomorrow night's festivities....it's my daughter's birthday party and there will be 9 girls over here getting their hair, nails, and make up done for her "spa" themed sleepover.  Not sure what I agreed to!!  Wish me luck......

Here is another card from my last class.  Everyone really enjoyed this card - very good one because the gals could put any sentiment on it that they wanted.  I always love making at least one card like that.  I am not sure if you can see the background very well but we used the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder and then colored in the flower centers with the Elegant Eggplant marker.  The butterflies are from the awesome Papillon Potpourri set and are punched out with the Elegant Butterfly punch.  There is a solid cardstock butterfly underneath eached stamped butterfly to give it a shaded look.  The colors I used are Elegant Eggplant, Gumball Green, and Baja Breeze.  All of this is mounted on a card base of Crumb Cake cardstock.  I also used one of the doilies from the Delicate Doilies Sizzlit.  Some pearls, rhinestones, and a small button from the Bitty Buttons pack were used as well for a little "pop".  I am pretty sure I got this idea off Stampin Connection - I apologize that I don't remember from whom.

Enjoy your weekend!

Class card #2

Happy Monday everyone! I had a great girls weekend scrapbooking with 2 of my closest friends.  We talked a lot, ate a LOT, and scrapped some :).  Now back to reality.........
Here is one of the cards we did at my recent class.  I got the general layout from the new Spring catty.  I used some of the new Core'dinations sandable card stock in Primrose Petals and the gals thought it was fun to try the new sanding blocks.  And it  works great with the new Honeycomb embossing folder.  I love the distressed look.  I added the base layer in pool party and the scallop trim edge.  I punched out  2 medium hearts from the new More Amore paper pack and 1 heart with Pool Party and then added a medium sized pearl.  The stamp is from the Hostess set Wacky Wishes.  Finished it off with some Primrose Petals ribbon and there it is!

Recent Class

Good morning!  This is a card we just did at my most recent card class.  I love the Real Red and Basic Black together for a great valentine day card.  I recently got the Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit and I can't believe I didn't get it a year ago.....I love it!! To it I adhered the recent promo Happy Valentine's Day stamp SU had and I punched it out using the large heart punch.  I also punched out a red glimmer paper heart and I really think it adds some nice sparkle to the card.  I am not sure how good to you can see the whisper white card stock but I sponged Real Red and Basic Black on there to give the card a little more "pop".  I wrapped some old grosgrain ribbon around it and the mounted it onto a piece of real red embossed with the Framed Tulips folder.  The gals got to stamp some heart images on the inside liner as well.  I got this general idea from Michelle Hall.

Valentine Card

Good afternoon from sunny Oregon!  It's beautiful here today.  So glad it is not raining right now.  I love this card - so simple yet elegant.  The colors used are Real Red and Whisper White.  The ribbon is the old retired grosgrain ribbon.  I have so much old styles of red ribbon that I have yet to purchase any of the new styles in red.  Hopefully I will soon - they are all so cute!  The sentiment is from the hostess set called Wacky Wishes and works for almost any greeting you need.  The cute stamp is from a retired set from last year's spring mini.  I don't often layer white on white but I really like it on this card.  The hearts were punched out with the scallop square punch.  I got the idea for this card from someone off SU's stampin connection - sorry I don't remember who! 

Have a wonderful weekend!

SAB is here!


Good morning!  It's finally here! Yes - it's Sale-a-bration time again and that means free stuff for you - yippee!  Who doesn't like free stuff?  Especially stamp stuff!  For every $50 in product you order - you get to pick out a free item from the new SAB flyer.  There are tons of great items in the flyer this year from stamp sets to an embossing folder to Designer Series Paper and more! Just email me if you are interested.

Here is a card I made using a few of the SAB products.  And yes - this card is just like my previous post - it's a great layout!  I used the Sycamore Street DSP, the Sycamore Street ribbon and button pack, the Pretty Petites stamp set, and the Petite Curly label punch.  Whew!  The colors I used are Tangerine Tango and Pacific Point.  You may notice a retired product on the card - I just couldn't resist putting the adorable party hat in the center of the punch.

New products

Good morning!  I hope you are all enjoying your 3 day weekend.  My kids are so excited to have a day off of school tomorrow.  Ummm didn't you two just have 2 weeks off for Xmas break?? Crazy how much school they have off around here.
This new card uses some new products SU is offering.  The stamp set is called Pretty Petites and they were punched out with the Petite Curly Label punch.  Both of these items are in the new Sale-a-brations catalog which goes live on Tuesday, Jan. 22nd. Yay!  Love this time of year!  So for every $50 you spend in product - you get to pick out a free item from the Sale-a-bration catalog.  How cool is that? The pool party ribbon is also from the SAB catalog from the Sycamore Street ribbon and button pack.  The DSP I used is from the new More Amore paper pack which is found in the new Spring Catalog.  The cute I love you stamp is from a promo SU has going on right now - the set is called My Little Valentine and is offered for just a few more days. There are 4 little valentine stamps in the set.  The colors on the card are Very Vanilla, Pool Party, and Primrose Petals.  I always try and add a little bling so there are two tiny rhinestones in the center of the small heart I punched out in Primrose Petals that I put in the center of one of the Pretty Petites stamps.  Enjoy!

Sympathy card

Hello everyone.  Nice and clear here today and a tad warmer than its been which is nice.  I'm still cold but just not as much :). 
I decided to make a sympathy card yesterday - it seems like my mother is always asking for some to keep on hand.  I used the new Honeycomb embossing folder which I LOVE!!  The DSP is from the upcoming Sale-a-bration DSP pack called Sycamore Street.  Isn't it pretty??  Love all the colors in this pack.  I used Rich Razzleberry and Summer Starfruit for this card.  The brad is a glimmer brad from the Brights collection.  The sentiment is from a retired set but it fit perfectly into one of the framelits in the Labels collection.  Hope you all have a great Thursday!

Valentine birthday

Good afternoon from chilly Oregon!  We've had a little bit of a cold streak here and I have been freezing.  Got the heat turned up and several layers on and still feel chilled.  At least I have been getting several card making projects done that were on my to-do list so that is good.  The first being my daughter's upcoming 12th birthday party invites and thank you's.  She is a Valentine baby so it's always fun to do something with hearts on it.  I decided to use up a bunch of retired DSP and heart eyelets so these cards worked out perfectly.  I borrowed the petite purse die from my friend Karen and I was surprised at how much I liked it.  It's certainly small but very versatile and super cute.  9 hershey kisses will fit inside there! I used the large flower on the Boho Blossoms punch along with another retired punch flower on the purse and thought it turned out cute.  Of course adding a little bling with the rhinestone is always a fun touch.  The friend heart is from my favorite I heart hearts set that retired last year (sad face!) and punched out with the still current heart punch.  I used the colors Real Red, and Pretty in Pink for these cards.  Hope you all keep warm out there!

More Summer Silhouettes

Good evening!  Was a busy weekend with my daughter's basketball team.  They have struggled a bit but came out strong this weekend and won their first 3 games in the tournament to put them in the Championship game - was soo exciting!  Unfortuntately they lost the last game but hey - 2nd place is the best they have ever done so it was a great finish.

I made these cards the other day - I CASE'd them from the catalog on page 141,  I have admired how clean and simple they were but I did decide to add the solid cardstock and I also used Dazzling Details on the tiny flower petals to give the card a little "pop" and I really like how they turned out. The colors used were Tangerine Tango, Tempting Turquoise, and Summer Starfruit.  I made a whole bunch of them to keep on hand for gifts or last minute cards I need to send.  Thanks for looking!

New cards FINALLY!

Hello!  Yes - it has been 2 months since my last post...I have said this many times before but I really am going to try and be better and post more often.  I've been making cards like crazy these last few days so at least I actually have something to post!  The card above I CASE'd from the catalog and I LOVE LOVE how it turned out.  The stamp sets used were Summer Silhouettes and Perfect Punches.  The DSP is from the Summer Smooches pack.  The colors used were Rich Razzleberry, Lucky Limeade, Tangerine Tango, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, and Island Indigo.  The great thing is you can use any combo of colors on this card and the DSP were just scrap pieces.  Always nice to find something to use them for - I don't like to have to throw the scraps away if I don't have to.  I made 20 of these cards last night.  I think they will be great to keep on hand or give away as a gift. 
Thanks for looking!
