Happy Graduation

We had a couple of graduation parties this past weekend and here is one of the cards we gave.  I used cardstock that will be retiring (Brilliant Blue & Summer Sun) come June 30.  The graduation sentiment is available in the Summer Mini as is the Square Lattice Embossing folder I used.  Don't miss out on the Last Chance lists.  You can view them on the side bar here on my blog.  Things are going fast so be sure to check it out and get your orders placed before these things are gone forever.

Artistic Etchings Sneak Peak

I can't help myself.  I'm giving you yet another sneak peak.  At first sight of this set I thought, "oh no! not my style", but thought I'd go out of my comfort zone and get it anyway because I was sure there would be lots of awesome samples made with it and then I would be mad at myself for not getting it.  Well needless to say I'm happy I did.  This was not cased, it was my very own idea.  I find it best sometimes to not look at what others have done first.  Notice the hodgepodge hardware?  I admit, I hoard the stuff, but I'm turning over a new leaf and I'm gonna stop hoarding (well ok at least try!).*grin*  The DSP background paper is new as well.  It's called Newsprint .  You are going to love it.  It has so many possibilities to be sure.  Again I've used the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folder.  The ink is Crumb Cake and Early Esspresso.

Thanks for stopping by.

Totally Tess Meets Pink Pirouette

I love when new colors come out and this year when old colors come back, so that I can introduce my stamp sets to new colors.  And that is what I did here with Totally Tess.  Totally Tess was in the Occasions Mini catalog and I'll let you in on a little secret, she's back in the new catalog!!  So if you missed getting her then you will be able to get her on July 1.  She comes with a lot of stamping related items, but she can be used for so many other reasons and with so many other stamp sets.  Here I've paired her up with a new hostess set that will be available on July 1 as well.  The set is called Cute by the Inch and another little secret is that there is a punch to match this set.  Oh so cute!!  So what are you waiting for call me to book your workshop so you can start earning these adorable new hostess sets and get your free catalog.

The colors I used are Pink Pirouette (retired In Color coming back as a core color), Marina Mist (a new core color) and Pear Pizzazz (a new 2010/11 In Color)  Do you like Tess' highlights?  Her hair was colored with the Daffodil Delight and hightlights with the New Crumb Cake (formerly Kraft, but now in a marker and ink pad and part of our core colors)  Woo Hoo!  This is just the tip of the iceburg when it comes to all the new stuff that will be available on July1.  Again I ask, what are you waiting for?  Contact me to book your workshop so I can share all the fun new things that Stampin'Up! has to offer.  And remember I always provide free make and takes for you and your guests.

Another Sneak Peak

I just can't help myself.  I'm giving you another sneak peak of some new stuff.  This is just a $ store notebook that got a makeover.  A Garden Gala DSP makeover.  Notice the pencil?  Yes I cover a pencil with DSP paper as well.  I used the Mono Multi Glue to adhere.  I dyed the white organza ribbon using the Baja Breeze ink pad (Baja Breeze is making a comeback--Woo Hoo!)  I just rubbed it on the pad and dried.  The green scallop circle was embossed with a new Big Shot embossing folder called Vintage Wallpaper.  The inner scallop circle is a new 2 3/8" punch that will be available on July 1 as well.  See the rhinestones?  Well they aren't SU, but guess what?  SU is going to be carrying self adhesive rhinestones.  I am so excited about this one.  And in true SU form I'm sure that they will be better than any you can buy elsewhere.  SU always steps it up a notch.  Guess that's why I love 'em!  Oh and BTW I took the heatgun to the ribbon a little to make it crinkle.
Well that's all for now.  Have a great day!

It Arrived

Yes, my new sneak peak order arrived today along with my copy of the catalog.  I'll just do a little teaser here for ya and will post more in the next few days.  I just got home from a meeting at church and have to get supper finished.  Frank's working late so I thought I drop in and show you what I made quickly this afternoon after my order came.  Yikes he's here!  Talk to you later.

Happy Birthday Lindsay Kay

I woke up this morning feeling very sentimental.  You see, 21 years ago this morning I awoke to my water breaking and my first born baby Lindsay Kay was on her way.  Little did I know the joy she would bring to me and her daddy not only on the day she arrived, but every day since.  Although she didn't arrive quickly.  Sixteen hours later, after contractions every 1 1/2 minutes, the doctor trying to move her to come down into the birth canal and her scooting back into the corner of my pelvis, she arrived by c-section at 11:37 pm on June 2, 1989.  We always tease her and tell her she just didn't want to come out and kept crawling back in  just like she does now in her bed when she needs to get up in the morning.  She is one special girl and we are so proud of the fine young woman she has become. 

This is one of my fav pics of her on her 1st birthday.

Happy Birthday Lindsay Kay!

I'll be back tomorrow with some stamping.

Blessings,

Renee
