Out with the old, in with the new.

Kiwi Kiss and Riding Hood Red I am sure going to miss you. The new In Colors are gorgeous but I sure loved the ones going out. So to honor those wonderful SU! colors I made this card with a new Level 2 Hostess Set, Christmas Punch. I'm a sucker for Christmas sets and this one has a vintage Santa, a snowman tag AND snowflakes. How could I resist? I have seen this fold on several blogs but Jan Tink has directions for a size that will fit in a regular A2 envelope. Thanks Jan!

My scrapbookin' debut

I have been thinking about starting a scrapbook club similar to my monthly Hostess Technique club so I decided to try my hand at scrapbookin'. Saw this layout on SCS and this is my interpretation. Leave a comment or email me if you are interested in joining me for this club on the 4th Tuesday of the month.

Nancy's Birthday card

Nancy had a birthday and I used her favorite stamp set (wink,wink) Garden Whimsy. She says she is tired of this set so of course I had to use it, cause I'm rotten that way. I saw a card on SCS using this set and started out to make one just like it but it didn't turn out that way. It truly is very pretty in real life. So Happy Birthday Nancy and many more!!!

little teaser from the new catalog!

Autumn Days is the first set I saw in the catalog that I knew instantly would have to come live at my house. So since I am a demo for SU! and I get all sorts of perks like pre orders, this set has officially taken up residence in my stamp room. I love it. Autumn is my favorite time of year, I love the colors of the Fall leaves even if my allergies don't like whatever it is they put into the air. Here is a peek at the new set and of the new InColors. It uses Soft Suede, Bermuda Bay and Dusty Durango and if you look very closely there is a little Crushed Curry thrown in for good measure.

Organic too.

Suddenly I see possibilities for Organic Outlines everywhere I look. This card is so simple, not something I can usually pull off. I think it was the classical music and the fact that I am HOME ALONE !!! No testosterone in the house at all, at least for a little while. Enjoy.

Organic Outlines so sad to see you go

Organic Outlines is a set I got at Convention last year and I am so sad to see it retire. For this card I used Basic Gray, Kraft and Very Vanilla and the retired Bliss Blue. The reason for the retired Bliss Blue you ask ? I was helping Nancy put the handle on her new Big Shot and her son Ben wanted to see how it worked. Nancy grabbed some paper and we cranked it thru using the Flower Daisies Die #2. Then Ben had to try it and I took home the pieces since I don't have that die and all of my stampin' money is going towards keeping my incredibly talented photographer daughter in school. Well this is the result. This card could be one of my favorite cards of all time and it was a total accident. Let me know what you think and if you want to know how I did the center of the flower just call or email, I'll be glad to share.

Sneak Peek of In Colors

As sad as I will be to see my old favorites retire, Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Pink Pirouette and the rest I am also very excited to see the new InColors.  I don't have them in my hot little hands quite yet but click HERE to go to Michelle Fisher's blog and see her color comparison.  Did you hear we are getting markers in this year's InColors?

I have been stampin' up a storm but either the cards are for grads I know and have to get out right away or they are for orders that I have to get out right away.  I have also had camera issues so that isn't helping me post any wondrous pictures of anything I have stamped.  

Remember the Last Chance list is good until June 30th but the last chance list for accessories is going fast.  Better click on my SU! site and go to shop now or email me pronto!!!
