Hello! I’m back to my Stampin’ Up! A-Z project today with the last of the “B” sets. That’s 7 sets and 19 cards since I decided to work my way through all the image sets. This may be the last hurrah for many of them. At some point I must weigh the value of the shelf space against the odds that someone might need a, for instance, tugboat card.
These cards are rather bright and I’m not sure how I feel about them. Perhaps I hurried through them a little too quickly. I made a boy card. . .
and a girl card.
Both are watercolored and glittered and use Stampin’ Up! cardstock and designer paper. The dogs in the first boat and the girl in the second are from the Loads of Love Accessories set.
Well, hey, at least I’m making progress and getting some use out of the sets as I go along. These will go into my card basket at work. Thanks for your time. May your days be loaded with love!
Both of these would be suitable for children and the bright colors are just perfect! Sometimes us old folks like bright and cheerful as well! These are just so cute. I'm sure they won't last long in your card basket!

Oh my I would say you did a fantastic job with these, the colors are perfect for boy and girl cards, I love the boat with the heart being pulled and the cute swirled and scalloped top to the girl card, I am sure these will go fast!

Oh, Leslie, these are both adorable with this sweet set! I so admire this endeavor of working through the stamp sets you have (A-Z) and only wish I would do something like it. We have so much and rarely use some of the older ones. I love each one and especially love the vibrant colors and adorable layouts! Woohoo, girl! You are doing a great job!! Hugs!

I think they are both adorable. I love them both!!! Someone may not need a tugboat card, but someone may need a cute card.

Both of these are beyond adorable! They made me smile ear to ear! I'm SO glad you decided to take on the challenge of using all your old stamps again. These have just been amazing! I can't wait to see the next ones!

Super duper cute!!! I love the dog one the best (well ya know I am partial to my dog)..lol...both are very cute though...and I am impressed you have made it this far. I just recently parted with about 60 SU stamp sets...VERY hard to do, but like you, I felt they were taking up space....leaves room to buy new ones...lol...oh and I like the pretty and happy colors you have used!!! I have been gone and now am trying to play catch up....trying is the word!!

You might consider investing in a MISTI and then unmount your wood stamps, saves tons of space and the MISTI is fantastic! Love your adorable card, I think there could be a high demand for such cuteness!

These are both simply adorable. I admire your tenacity in getting this project done. Even if it takes you a long time to get through them all, I know you'll stick with it. I should now follow suit and use all the rubber stamps in my stamp drawers instead of going for the digis all the time!

That ship has sailed more than once. (I love making silly puns).
Seriously I love how completely different theses cards are. Both are cute and I really admire your sewing skills.

They are both awesome, Leslie! They sure don't look like your hurried through them!!! Congrats on making more progress with your A - Z project. Will you still bring your cards to your former workplace once you're retired?

I think a young boy or girl would LOVE one of these darling cards!

Boy, I'm really falling behind in my blog reads. I don't even remember seeing this one in my Feedly update. These are both so adorable. Good for you for persevering through the alphabet of stamp sets. I always love seeing your creativity with each set.
