A new teacup stamp I'm enjoying

After being on the go-go-go for many weeks in a row, I was thrilled to have both Friday and Saturday free, and I spent that time reading, having lunch with a dear friend, shopping (just a little), and crafting. I also realized I'd meant to share with you all a new Stampin' Up stamp that I got recently, their new "Every Chapter" rubber stamp, and the design is one I had to have from the moment I saw it. A teacup and books? Yes, please!

I wasn't sure how often I would need to make a card with this design, I just knew that I would one day. I spoke at a celebration/roast for a friend last month, and since she first got to know me as a local journalist and now as an author (as well as her friend), I realized a card with this design would be perfect to include with the gift I took her!

And just a few days ago, I learned that a friend who writes a local book column and has been very generous in supporting my writing over the years is moving out of town. I'm going to drop a small gift by her house this week, and I realized this stamp design was perfect for her too! So if you're a card-making crafter who likes this idea, you may want to ask your local Stampin' Up demonstrator about this stamp. (And as always, if you don't have a demonstrator but want to order this stamp, feel free to use my friend Kathy here. She didn't ask me to mention her, by the way, but I know she won't mind. And I hate trying to order something like this and not knowing a demonstrator!)
