THE NEW CATALOG is my hands!!

Woohoo!! It's here and I must say WOW!!! I am loving it. Totally and honestly. I've paged through it a few times and keep seeing new things. I started a wishlist but quickly realized what I don't want is shorter. lol My favorite? All the new pattern paper!! Yummy stuff I tell ya. New sets that are just awesome, build your own brads, flowers, textured cardstock, oh, I could go on an on. So, instead, book a party or join my scrappers/stampers club and see for yourself.
Have a great weekend everyone.

2 new layouts this week

Got some scrappin' in yesterday. Gosh it's been a while since I was able to glue some paper together.
This first layout didn't turn out like I envisioned in my head but it's still okay. I think I might outline the 'friend' but too scared it'll be "too much" then. We'll see how daring I get. This layout is done with the SSK, Friend. I really like how this one turned out. I used Treehouse pp, a die cut sticker from another SSK, chipboard (covered in pp), some hardware, ribbon and the big deal alpha. I cut the photo corner myself, BUT I won't be for long as we have a photocorner punch in the new catti!!

The new catalog

has started to arrive in the States. Hopefully that means ours will be here soon. Have heard a few things that are coming into the new catti. Very exciting. You'll be able to see the new catti online at www.stampinup.com after July 1st. Or you can stop by my place and take a look after the 1st.
Sounds like a lot of great new sets and embellishment. Awesome new chipboard too!! Oh, and the in color colors are beautiful!!
Will share when I hear more.
Have a great weekend.

I'm so excited to see the new catti. July 1st.

Also, I'm having a small retirement special. Purchase $50 and recieve a free classic ink pad. (Outside workshop orders only.) I will be placing the order June 21st so I'll need all orders by 8pm on June 20th.

Here is one card I got done this past week. My cousin Jennifer had the cutest little baby boy, Andrew Liam Rempel. What an awesome name. So for her baby shower I made this card for her.

For this card I used Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip, and Whisper White cs, Sweet shapes, Delight in Life and Warm Regards stamp sets. Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip, and So Saffron ink. The pp is from the Notations pack and the strip of scalloped brown is from the SAB scrappin' kit. Also used ribbon from the Ribbon Originals pack and white organdy to tie on the charm. I also added glitter to the butterflies and a few of the stars.

Oh, I forgot to mention, I will make the draw Sunday evening!! So you have until then to post your comment!
