This one goes out to all of you baseball fans, and especially to Red Sox Nation! Spreading the love with the new Stocking Builder Punch(124095) from Stampin' Up.

Tami's Tip: Clear Block Cleaning Cloths...more than meets the eye!
Taking a quick break from stamping to share an alternate use for our Clear Block Cleaning pads (121779). We all have strange quirks right? I'm ready to go public with one of mine...fingerprints on my cell phone touch screen! Stop laughing. I'm constantly wiping my phone on my pants to clean it, and it doesn't work that great. Then by accident one day I reached for the SU Clear block cleaning cloth, and it ROCKED! From clear blocks to your electronics.
