Meet Patient Benjamin Fox...looking at him just makes me smile. Benjamin is one of the newest stamp designs from Memory Box's Spring Collection and one I will keep close at hand. I can create friendship, get well, congratulations or birthday cards---really any occasion with him!

A few of the Open Studio dies came into play with this card...that big, happy word "Smile" from the A Lovely Smile set, the awesome triangle border from the Geo Fragments set and the cute zig-zag border from the Stitched Country Borders. The great thing about the Open Studio dies is that they are die SETS. You get a set of dies that coordinate with one another. Click on any of the links I just highlighted to see these wonderful die sets.
By the way, after I die cut the blue note card with the triangle Geo Fragments die, I layered a white card stock panel behind it---one that I colored with lavender, green, pink and yellow Copic markers---just thin stripes of color horizontally across the paper so when adhered to the note card, the colors show through the tiny triangles.
Don't you love the stamped sentiment?---Memory Box cleverly designed clear sentiment stamp sets to coordinate with several Open Studio die sets---the one I used pertains to SMILES--genius! Click on this link to see the Smile stamp set I used.
Speaking of smiles....here are some wonderful ladies I met at Simple Pleasures in Colorado Springs, Co when teaching Memory Box classes there a few weeks ago. Everyone was so welcoming and fun!



We created several cards with the latest and greatest Memory Box stamps, dies, papers and stencils---and watercolors! Many thanks to Cathy, owner of Simple Pleasures, and to Angie and Beckie (next time let's wear our Prom dresses to dinner too!). Hee Hee, right after I left a snow storm moved it---missed it by that much!
Thanks for stopping by today...Happy Friday!
