Clear Mount Stamps and a New Mini ~ Oh, and SAB!!!!

Good Morning Friends!!! Well, I can hardly believe its almost the close of yet another Year in our Lives!!!! Time sure seems to fly....and that has nothing to do with age, my friends, it has everything to do with being so BUSY!! I am very thankful to be busy!! :-)

To my customers, you should have received your SAB brochure along with a copy of the new Occasions Mini in your mail by now. If you haven't please contact me and I'll get one right out to you.

As you can see from the photo above, SU! is offering an alternative to their wooden block stamps now!! Our wonderful rubber etched stamps are now available in cling form ~ they come without a wood block and are encased in a slim, CD type case. To use them, you would peel the stamp of choice off of its acrylic storage sheet and place on a Clear Mount block. (see picture above) I'll have a set to show for my workshops during SAB, so no worries if you've never used a Clear Mount system before!! The Clear Mount stamps are also less expensive as they don't have the wood block included.

Well, that's all for now folks, I've been trying to fit in some stamping time the past few days and will have some thank you and birthday cards to share soon!!

Take care & Thanks for dropping by!

Flip Flap Album Class

Hi there! Hope you are enjoying your summer! We finally have some warm weather here and it looks like it will stick around for awhile. About time!!

I've been working on this cute little Flip Flap Album, which I will be offering as a class next month. I used the retired Hostess Scrappin' Pack for the Designer paper in this Flip Album, but will be using current designer paper in my class. This album is my template! :-)

It was alot of fun to make and I could see myself making plenty of these for Christmas gifts, especially for those who really enjoy a recap of what our family has been up to the past year. You know, Grandmas and Aunties who love to know what your kids have been doing and enjoy receiving pictures, but truly just don't have any more wall space for those framed prints!! :-) I haven't added pics or embellishments yet, that's on the agenda (hopefully!) for today and tomorrow.

We are redoing our backyard, so quite often I'm required to assist my DH in the bricks, rocks and rearrangement of plants instead of spending my time stamping, outside at my table, where I rightfully belong. :-)

Hope you enjoy your day today,

Debbie

Good Morning Everyone! I apologize for not posting recently, but I've been fighting the most awful flu/cold ever. Its been 4 years since I've been sick! So I guess I've been lucky. However, this cold has made up for the last several years, its a doozy.

Many of you have received your new Spring & Summer Idea Book and Catalogue by now!! So, what do you think? Isn't if fantabulous!! I've been pouring over mine since receiving it and have quite a wish list going. What's new there though!! haha

Several things to take note of: SU! has taken the Project Index out of the back of the catalogue to leave more room for goodies!! So I will provide this link for you here:

As well, here is the Dormant List:

http://www.stampinup.com/us/documents/dormant_stamps_12_08_US.pdf

These are sets that will remain dormant for the duration of this catalogue; most will be Christmas or Autumn sets, things that we don't normally sell alot of this time of year.

Take care and I hope to be back with some photos soon of creations I did while away.

Too Cute Card Holder

Hi once again. I had to give you a close up of this cute gift/hello note cardholder. Isn't it just the cutest?? This is the stamp set we received from SU! at our Regional meeting. Its called Best Wishes & More. Love that little bird, don't you think he looks like he's friendly? :-) What do you think, Heidi?? Does he pass our "friendly" test? lol :-) I thought he did!

The little notes & envelopes are from SU! and are called Scallop Notes. They come in a package of a 30. Ten each of Baja Blue, Pirouette Pink, Chocolate Chip, & complete with the envelopes, all for $13.95. Sure beats cutting and scalloping your own, and they have the cute little envelopes as well. Great for tags for gifts, and are large enough to add a sentiment inside if you wish. I know I'm sold!! I told you, I came away from Regionals totally rejuvinated, and possessing a much larger "wish list" than ever before!! :-)

Take care and thanks so much for looking!

Regionals Projects!

Hi there Blogger Friends! I've finally finished my Regionals projects and got some time to take pics. Not the best picture, sorry. :-) All the projects were quick & easy, making the most of embellishments & texture. I don't seem to be happy unless I'm dabbling and putz-ing around with my cards, so I made a point of leaving these projects "as is" and did them exactly like the worksheet. No Cuttlebug, everything SU! I was really happy with them, and reminded myself that a card doesn't need to take an hour to create! Rely on your supplies and you'll be surprised with what you come up with! :-) Of course, it helped that we had a whole little baggie of suppies & embellishments. Which just goes to prove that I really do "need it all" to make my "simple" cards, haha!

I enjoyed Regionals so much, and as I mentioned previously, absolutely loved the Big Shot. Its definitely a "must have" in my books!!

Enjoy the rest of your day, and be sure to find some stamping time!

I'm Back and the New Catties are In!!!!

Hi Everyone! Just a short note to let you know that I'm back from family vacation and will be posting regularly soon.

I received notice that the new Catties are in, I should be picking them up today. I can't wait to see it, I have heard its just wonderful!!! I think its going to be the best one yet, judging from the preorder sets and comments from other demos. The new In Colours are gorgeous and I just love the preorder Designer Paper too!!

So stay tuned, I'll be posting soon with some samples, just give me time to get this post-holiday laundry done (there is a mountain of it!! ) Can't wait to download my pictures and start scrapbooking while my experiences are fresh in my mind!!

Take care and I'll be contacting you about your new catalogues!!
