Demonstrator Cards

Last night I was in the mood to stamp.  Usually Mondays are my day "off".  But, I just wanted to create!  But, I wasn't really in the mood to sit and design a bunch of things.  I decided to stamp a stack of cards for all of the demonstrators on my team.  That used to be a quick and easy task.  But, it is no longer - and that's not a complaint!  My team has grown SO much over the last year, it's unbelievable.  As I was making cards last night, I wondered to myself how much longer I'll be able to keep making cards for all of them each month - that was my goal this year!  This is only the second month I've been successful.  But, my group of demosntrators is FOUR times the size it was this year!  That's growth that I never could have dreamed possible!  If that keeps up, I won't be able to! 

Here's the card I made for them.  It uses the Blueberry Crisp DSP.  You'll probably see me using a lot of DSP (patterned paper) over the next few months as I prepare for the next big catalog.  Traditionally most, if not all, of the DSP in the big catalog retires each year.  I can only imagine that will be the case again this year.  We'll all know for sure in June when Stampin' Up! posts the "retired list".  But, I have a large supply of DSP (as always) and I'd rather use it up than store it to sell at my retirement sale.  Do you recognize the sentiment on the card?  No?  I didn't think so.  It's a sneak peek from the Summer Mini.  It's part of the Happy Greetings stamp set.  I can't stop using it!!!
