Secret Garden Double Open Card

Here's another card for my April Stamp of the Month Club series featuring the Secret Garden stamp set and coordinating framelits.
I stamped on designer paper and then added some dimension by using a coordinating marker to color highlights of the flower and the I used the Dazzling Diamonds to add some sparkle! The fun part of this card is the double open. You have to lift the first flap to get to the real card underneath.

Fiji Bound

It's almost time for the Stampin' Up! incentive trip to Fiji! My hubby and I are going three days early so I am leaving on Thursday -- yes, just a day and a half away! Am I packed!?! Of course not! There's a retiring list and a new catalog pre-order happening in just a few hours! In typical Julie fashion, I am working, working, working to get things done before we leave. Don't worry, I have started the pre-packing process and I have thought about making a list!

I wanted to post a quick note to let you know that I am scheduling posts to appear each day (or almost) while I am gone. I do not plan to blog from paradise! So while it may appear that I am online, I won't be. If you send me an email or try to contact me between April 25 - May 4, I will get it touch with you when I return. 

My Online Store is open 24/7 and I am planning a special gift for those who order while I'm gone, so stay tuned for details!

In the meantime, check out my travel pouch that arrived a couple weeks ago!! I love how Stampin' Up! pays attention to every last details. Our luggage tags have our NAMES on them!!
