Hunny Bunny......

The current challenge on the AI blog is to make a Clean and Simple Card. This is tough for me, because I looooove lots of layers, lots of embellishments, lots of details....but I still managed to use layers and embellishments to create a CAS card.....I used a new set from AI called Creature Comforts- perfect for Valentines Day! Make sure to check out the challenge and enter for your chance to win a grab bag of stamps!

You Rock Anniversary

Happy 2nd Anniversary to my husband CHRIS! I can't believe it's been 2 years (seems like 50 already!). This man is wonderful....someone who can marry a therapist is truly special! Chris is a computer genius, he is good to Polo, he cooks, he cleans, and he puts up with me- what more can a girl ask for??!! This is his anniversary card...he recently joined a band, and since the 2nd anniversary gift is cotton, I got him some cool shirts to wear when he plays at his shows (b/c he seriously can't pick out clothes to save his life)....so this card fits right along with the theme! Here's some pics of me and my hubby:

Our Happy Family


A wedding anniversary is the celebration of
love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity.
The order varies for any given year.

Here's to many more anniversaries to come!

Changes at S2G

To ALL S2G FANS...There's some Big changing going on at S2G!

These changes will be GREAT news for your pocketbook,
your storage woes, & your driving the postman crazy with
' where are my stamps?'

We wanted to let you know that as of January 1, 2010...
'Shirleys2Girls Clear Stamps'...is going "SIMPLY DIGITAL"!

Kristine and Deidre, the owners & sisters of S2G,
not only work together,live together,
but are their 89 year old Fathers caretaker.
With his current health issues and their
full-time commitment to S2G...
they have decided something had to give.

That being said...they LOVE LOVE LOVE the 'stamping' business,
so the option of S2G closing up shop is...NOT an option.
With Digital Stamps, they will create new and whimsical 'images"
...sell them on line...but have NO, packaging, shipping or invoicing.
Also, with digital stamps...they will have more family time...and...
YOU...save..money, storage and time.

SO...That's it!  Well, that's almost it...
S2G is putting everything (except the current digitals)
on SALE at 45% OFF
this SALE is limited to Stock on hand...
so when it's gone, it's gone!
SO, I would suggest that you GO SHOPPING NOW!


The NEW direction for 2010...Shirley's2Girls...is going...
'SIMPLY DIGITAL'

With this switch from 'CLEAR STAMPS' to DIGITALS...
YOU get to take advantage of our CHANGES!

We hope this change will be exciting for you too!
Here's to 2010 and a VERY EXCITING year for S2G!
THANK YOU for all of your love this past year...
DEIDRE & KRISTINE
