Change is GOOD!!

I am so excited that Stampin Up has decided to update their color collections! The new color palettes are fun, fresh, & up to date! We received a sample of each of the new colors that will be available in the upcoming catalog & they are absolutely FABULOUS!!! Some of our favorite In Colors will be making a come back too! Razzleberry & Melon Mambo will be permanent residents in the new collections also. Woo Hoo! Here is my first sample

I will miss a couple of the colors that are retiring but I can't wait till I can pre-order large quantities of the new colors, especially the Cherry Cobbler & Early Espresso, My FAVS! For now I only have 1 sample sheet of each so I've gotta make it last! I punched some circles to fit the size of the butterflies instead of using a bigger piece of cardstock. Less waste that way.

Thanks for stopping by today! :D

Fun Folds

I saw this cool idea on LeeAnn Greff's blog. Go visit her & you'll even find a link to a video tutorial! http://flowerbug.typepad.com/my_weblog/2010/02/februarys-card-club.html

Have a great day!

Flower Fancy

My sweet friend Annette let me stamp some images with her Flower Fancy set so I could have some samples made for the current promotion. Here is one of the samples I have made so far. This set is so pretty & easy to use! Anyway gotta get back to preparing for this weekends Stamp Camp!

Out of My Box

This card was a bit out of my comfort zone. I made it as a belated birthday card for my musically talented 15 year old nephew. I got the sizzix rock star outfit die at a local craft store on clearance for like for $2! Gotta Love that! I die cut the guitar from chipboard. Then used black craft ink & 4 layers of clear embossing powder to make it shiny & added silver cardstock for the accents. Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!

Good Times

Any time you get an order of new SU! products it's a good day! I had a few minutes this morning to play with the fabulous new Watercolor Trio set coming out in the summer mini catalog, May1st. One of my favorite benefts of being a demonstrator... Pre-Orders!!

Sweetheart Bunny

Last night I dreamt up this little guy. So when I got up this morning I knew if I didn't make it while the idea was fresh it would vanish forever. Luckily baby slept in a little so i whipped this up quick. I hope to have more time later to play with the idea.
Smiles & Blessings,
