purging...

Do you like to purge? I sure do!! With Stampin' Up!'s color renovation I've got a lot of stuff to purge. Sad for me, lucky for you!!

I am hosting a Goodbye/Hello open house.
July 1st from 10 am until 8pm at my house. (come and go)
The Goodbye is for all the retired product I'll be selling (at an awesomely discounted price). Cardstock, ink pads, spots, refills, markers and more.
The Hello is for the new catalog I'll have available for you to look at and/or purchase. I will also have samples of the new core colors and the in color colors (for the next 2 years) for you to oogle over.
I'll also have a minimum of 4 different prizes to give away.
You don't wanna miss this event so I'll see you there.
If you need directions call or email me.

The New Catalog...

Is uberwonderful!!!

I had a chance to peek at it yesterday and wow am I excited. The gorgeous pattern paper, the amazing embellishments and not to mention the new stamp sets. Wowsers!!

Now I'm super pumped to plan my open house. Can't wait....

Back on track

It's been a crazy few weeks, Dwight's father passed away May 27th. (He had been sick for a long time so it wasn't too sudden) But, things are back to normal now. Okay, not quite, Brett moved in this past weekend so we are adjusting to a teenager in the house. So it's as back to normal as I think I'll ever get. lol
I haven't done anything creative in my studio, boohoo. Hoping to this week (or today!!). I have been looking over all my soon to be retired stuff and I'm thinking, when I have my new catalog party I will sell off my retired cardstock, buttons, ribbons, ink pads/spots, refills etc. So stay tuned for a date!
Until next time...

Last chance

lists were emailed out! Let me know if you need a copy.

Playing with my copics

I jumped onto the copic bandwagon! Crazy I know, but I love coloring. I need to practise a little more but I'm getting the hang of it.

This first card I color with R27, R29, R59 and the colorless blender. I stamped the flower from Fifth Avenue Floral onto Neenah cardstock 3 times, colored and cut them out. I used my bigshot to cut out the leaves. The flowers and leaves are mounted on Early Espresso cardstock, YUMMO!!!

This next card I used the rose image. I used B91, B93, B97, B99 and the colorless blendar. I ran the white layer through the big shot with the elegant bouquet impressions folder.

What do you think? Not too bad. I really need a few more markers though...

Until next time, keep inky!
