Holidays in July!

Hi everybody!
Well, the school year has finished and a new one is about to begin. Audrey has danced at Walt Disney World last week and I'm ready to get back into my Stampin' Studio! YIPPEE!  
I'm planning a stamp camp on Sunday, July 21st, 1:30-4:30. We'll be doing Holidays in July--Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas. Let me know if you want to join me. I'll be working on the cards this week and will post as soon as I have them finished.
Happy Stampin'!

My Paper Pumpkin

I got my first My Paper Pumpkin kit this week. I was pleasantly surprised at what was inside. My Paper Pumpkin is delivered to your home each month for $19.95. It's a surprise craft project each month.Let me know if you're interested. I made cards for Audrey's teacher with this month's kit.

Using the Dressed Up Framelits

Hi everybody,
Well, we've been off for a couple of weeks so I've been playing. I got a new set of framelits from the mini catalog called All Dressed Up. I really thought of Audrey when I saw them so I'm sure I'll use them in scrapbooks. However, today, I made the cutest gift for a friend. I hope she likes it. I also made some cards using the framelits. 

The new catalog comes out June 1st so I'm getting ready for that. We're also having a color refresh so look for some fun new colors. I'll have an Open House in early June so look for date. 

Let me know what you think of my project. 
Happy Stampin'!

The Refresh is here!

Hi everybody!
A few years ago, we had a major color refresh. It was quite an ordeal. We were told that this would happen every two or three years to make sure we are using the most current color combinations. 

Well, the time has come to refresh again! 
You will notice that some of our previous In Colors have been added to the color palette now. 

We all have our favorites and we will miss some colors and will be glad to see some go. Tell me what you think! 

In the meantime, Happy Stampin'!

I'm learning something new

I've been busy! I've been taking a webinar with Jackie Bolhuis on My Digital Studio. This is great for me and what's even better, now is a great time for you to buy My Digital Studio. You can get it for $19.95. What's even better, if you already have the original MDS or MDS 2, the upgrade will be FREE! I don't have the exact date yet, but it's on it's way. I will be glad to help you learn how to use your new software now that I know what I'm doing. 

Stampin' Up! is rolling out all kinds of new things. There's My Paper Pumpkin, a kit that is mailed to your house each month for $19.95/month. Included is everything you need to make that month's project. 

There's also This and That, a new line that will be in the catalog in June. However, you can get a sneak peek now! Now through April 30, you can get a bundle for 15% off. The bundle includes:

• Epic Day This and That Journal
• Designer Series Paper
• Rotary Stamp
• Designer Stickers
• Designer Tape

Just call me if you're interested in finding out more. I'll tell you what I can. 

I've also been in the stampin' studio. Here are some cards I've been working on. I'm sure I've CASEd the cards you're about to see, so if they're yours, please let me know so I can give you credit.

 Happy Stampin'!

Stress Relief

You know how some weeks just seem to be harder than others? Well, there were moments like that this week. I decided to spend some time in the Stampin' Studio tonight. I had some projects to finish and a birthday party to plan for. Here are my 3x3 birthday tags for a swap I've joined.

I also started a webinar for MDS2. I have some homework for that so I'm off to get that done. Happy Stampin'!

The weather here in NC stinks! It's rainy and cold. We had a three hour delay for school this morning due to freezing rain and icy roads/bridges. Needless to say, the kids were a little less than productive this afternoon :) 

We spent last Sunday afternoon using shaving cream to make cards. I thought I had taken pictures, but I can't seem to find them. I'll work on some more and post later. 

Enjoy your weekend! Mine will be busy taking Miss Audrey to Disney Rehearsal. Did I tell you that she'll be dancing at Disney in June? She (ME, too!) is sooo excited! She will be rehearsing frequently over the next few months. I'll keep you posted. 
Happy Stampin'!
