3x3 Friends

Floating around on the interweb as my Mom calls it is a cute flower that reminds me of the popular Prima Flowers. Not only are these flowers expensive they often don't match the project I'm working on. So by taking the Scallop Circle Punch and snipping here and there, a little sponging of the edges, a little work with smooshing petals and there you go an adorable flower that matches your project like only Stampin' Up! can.

I am virtually sending this card to someone on SCS, MsBetsyZ, she took the time to tell me there was a problem on my blog. She is so nice, maybe one of the nicest people on SCS! So Betsy this one is for you!

Deal of the week

Since Stampin' Up!'s deal of the week is the Scallop Edge Punch available until the 5th for $10.99 I decided I should use it in today's card. I saw this great flower pot on Patty Bennet's blog, she is so talented. So I tried it myself two ways, enjoy.

Tomorrow is the day!

Tomorrow at 2 is when we can order from the new catalog. As if that isn't exciting enough, Stampin' Up! is offering the deal of the week in the month of July! Every week SU! will give us a new deal. Starting July 1st and until July 5th you can get the Scallop Edge Punch on page 187 for only $10.99. Each week I will post the new deal here and on my SU! website. Remember you can also place an order online just click on My Stampin' Up Website link on the right hand side of this blog. To celebrate this fantastic sale I made a card using the new Lots of Bots and the Scallop Edge Punch. Lots of Bots is very reasonably priced at $19.95 and is perfect for boys of any age, especially those interested in robots, computers and tools. I especially love the binary code that is behind the main image. The sentiment on the front is punched out with the new Modern Label Punch, I love the look of this punch a perfect match for the Bots.

Upon further review...

OK, I've been studying the catalog again and I have added to my list. I NEED, the Simply Scrappin' Kit Moments and Milestones. Well actually I need two because I am going to make my kids scrapbooks, this year, as in 2009. Maybe 2010, but I am going to get it done. I love the Moments Milestones Simply Scrappin' Kit it is perfect and my kids were very very cute and they deserve to be in a scrapbook of their very own. Want to join me in my quest? I am starting a scrapbook event which will take place each month. Stay tuned for more details.

I also have another ribbon share starting on July 1st. For $13.99 you get approximately 3 yards of each of the 6 new InColor Polka Dot Grosgrain ribbon on page 182. This is gorgeous ribbon, polka dotty on one side and plain on the other side. Enjoy a taste of each color, and email or call me today. Only 4 spots left.

It's getting closer!

July 1st, 2 p.m. guess what I will be doing? You got it, I will be placing my first order from the new catalog. First on the list, the paper piercing tool, yep, $3.50 worth of paper piercing fun, part of the "Over 1,000 items under $25". Imagine that, over 1,000 items in this catalog under $25. Here are a few of the other things that might be on the list...

page 118 Pendant Park, I love the 2 squirrels on the bench and the tree is to die for.

page 133 Medallion, a new background stamp that my mind has so many ideas for it might burst before it gets to me.

page 158 Bride, Groom and Bridegroom Specialty Paper, I have to just pick one, it's tough.

page 158 Wood sheets, gotta have 'em, don't know why yet.

page 165 Christmas Jingle I have to make the string on page 29 and 29

page 174 Princess Time for my 11 Brownie princesses.

page 195 SU! Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder, I love the Manhattan Folder.

page 209, back cover, Very Thankful, the Ronald McDonald set. I always buy the RMHC set, it is such a great way to give back. For every set SU! sells they give $2 to RMHC and that makes me feel good. I plan to do a class with this set this year so keep your eyes on this blog for a special deal.

Oh, and I also found time to make a card for my favorite Uncle using the new Autumn Days set on page 92. If you don't have a new catalog you better email me and get one. It's a great read.
