Welcome to my alphabet series showcasing some of the new products in the 2017 Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs. Today I’m going to share some of my thoughts as I browsed the Occasions catalog and came across this card (on page 37) created using the Just Keep Swimming stamp set.
I love to read and this card reminded me of one of my favorite children’s books, Swimmy by Leo Lionni. If you are not familiar with this story, Swimmy shows his friends how—with ingenuity and team work—they can overcome their fears and enjoy the wonders of their world. I can’t help but see the similarities between this beautiful story and my Stampin’ Up! experience.
I admit I joined Stampin’ Up! to get the discount. Because there is no obligation and no commitment, I planned to just buy what I wanted and then quit. I could have done that; however, I decided to “just keep swimming”. When I joined the PALS, I became part of a friendly, creative, and amazing community of stampers under the leadership of Mary Fish, our “fearless leader” (just like Swimmy)! It is a joy to be part of the PALS team…a happy school of “Fish”! I love to create and enjoy inspiring others but I never dreamed I would have a blog and be sharing my love of stamping with people around the globe. The people I have met and the friendships that are formed through this common interest is what drives me to “just keep swimming”! It is such a rewarding experience and I want to invite you to “overcome any fears” and join the fun! I would love to help you see the wonders and possibilities within our stamping world. Here’s why you should Join my team…
