Bike Ride Time

I was thinking Spring when I created this card, but Mother Nature had other ideas. We have 3 inches of snow on the ground here in Iowa. This is not Spring. It is January weather and the warmest we are going to get this week is 50 degrees. However, it could be worst because OnStage could have been this weekend and Milwaukee had snow/ice. Not what I would want to drive home in. Last Sunday I had good weather until I hit Cedar Rapids. So please send Spring thoughts.

I was thrilled that Bike Ride is not on the retirement list. This stamp is so beautiful with all the choices for your basket. I did flowers, but you could put the dog in your basket. Also, there is more than one choice of flowers. Notice that I put the bike on a textured path with Embossing Paste. Of course, this stamp set will work for any age or sex. So have fun creating your bike and think about a nice bike ride.

As Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, we were able to preorder and my preorder will be in Wednesday. I am looking forward to working with the new items. This means I will have the exciting new colors and their new designs. I hope you didn’t panic when you saw the retirement list with all the stamp sets. This new ink pad is supposed to resist bubbles.
