*** NEW CATALOGUE – RIBBON, PAPER AND EMBELLISHMENT SAMPLERS *** (click here for the SALE of Retired stamps)


_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

With the new Idea Book and Catalogue comes lots of new papers, embellishments and ribbons.  It could get a little expensive to invest in all of them at once so here is an option.  I have created Sampler Packs of some of these new items so you can have a selection to use right away and then purchase your favourites later on.  These samplers will run till the end of August – please let me know if you would like any of them.

2.

Pick and choose which of the ribbons samplers you would like (or get them all)!! 
Let me know if you are interested in any of the other ribbons.  If there is enough interest, I will be able to do more ribbon samplers.

Christmas in July Stamp A Stack July 17

Well it wasn’t ‘looking a lot like Christmas’ but it sure has been cool for what is supposed to be summer! 
Today was the first step towards being prepared with a possible 24 Christmas cards (for those who attended for the full day) - and it wasn’t a moment too soon.  There is less than 6 months remaining till December 25!



Happy Stamping!

New Catalogue Open House

There is lots to see in the new Idea Book and Catalogue and there were a few new things to see on the weekend.  There was one card design to make using Artistic Etchings, a wonderful new stamp set.  We also used some new colors – Pear Pizzazz and Daffodil Delight – as well as the new 1/8” taffeta ribbon and the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder. 

10-07 Open House 004 10-07 Open House 001 

Everyone made 2 cards, one in each of the colors but just took one home.  The other one will be donated to Ronald McDonald House Charities – I’ll be dropping it off in Salt Lake City while at the annual Stampin’ Up! Convention!

Happy Stamping!

It is time to say goodbye to some stamp sets, ribbons and colors.  With the new catalogue comes new stamp sets, tools, new ‘In Colors’, returning ‘In Colors’ and this year there are just plain new Colors!   However, before all that happens we can play one more time with retiring products.

Designer Paper and Mellow Moss are featured on these cards…
Dusty Durango, Pale Plum and Lovely Lilac with the Petal Bigz Die were the last cards for the day…

Senior’s Week at the Devon Library

There were special programs all week long for Seniors Week. One of the mornings I was invited to hold a card-making class. We made the following bookmark and card. Not a new pattern but using new colors,stamps and accessories.





Grad Card

This was the year that my youngest nephew graduated. Time for a special card in his school colors of black & gold.
