If you are like me, the release of the new Stampin’ Up! catalogue is one of the highlights of your year. OK…maybe I need to get a life , but I’m not ashamed to admit that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE July and the release of the new catalogue. It never lets me down and this year is no exception. Click on the link below to check it out, or email me for your copy today!

You may have also noticed that my blog is sadly short on samples and cute stuff that I have stamped and want to share with you. That is because I really need to get off my butt and take some pictures and edit them and then POST them on this blog that I promised myself I would always keep up to date. I am a blogging failure……but I  PROMISE to start making this blog worth the money and your time and actually post something once in a while! I think this new catalogue is a good place to start, don’t you?? I will create something magnificent and post it shortly….I promise.

Have a great week!!

Always find yourself looking for that perfect card for the men in your life? If so, then this is the class for you. We will be using the new TRAVEL JOURNAL designer paper from the just released Summer Mini catalogue to create 5 fun cards with men in mind.

Unfortunately, the only Friday I have available for this class is May 21st @ 7pm. This will be the first May long weekend in 15 years that I am not going away…I’m sure there are others out there that will be around for that weekend?

If so…sign up below. Five cards and your very own package of the Travel Journal designer paper all for $25!! RSVP by May 6th to have your paper there and your spot saved. See you there!

Well, they’ve finally done it…they have finally changed their color families! Now don’t get me wrong, there are some colors that I will miss terribly…some that I feel I have only just begun to really know…some that I’ve become very good friends with. These colors I will mourn the loss of .

Then there are the other colors. The colors that are so uninteresting that they have faded into the woodwork of my ink pad holder..never used in the seven years I have been a demonstrator. These colors deserve to go. They are uninteresting…uninspired and frankly, just didn’t get along with my other stamp pads. Good-bye forever blah colors!!

And now….presenting…the NEW COLOR FAMILIES FROM STAMPIN’ UP!
