New Mini Occasions Catalog is Here!

I am new to Stampin' Up and have been falling in love with the products more each time the UPS guy delivers an order; but I am plum crazy about the products in this mini catalog!

Last post I admitted to being a procrastinator and having a goal of action this year.  Today I will confess to being a punch junkie, especially when the stamps and punches match!  I adore the stamp/punches "Build A Blossom" in this catalog.  I signed up for a new mini catalog swap and here are my 2 entries using this fantabulous set!  I think the blue card is my favorite card that I have made in a long time.  I hope you enjoy them too.  As soon as I receive the swap back, I will post the other amazing cards.

Email me if you would like your own copy of this great mini catalog.  Have a great week!

Copic class results

I must admit I have neglected my new blog this last week; but, I do have a good excuse, lol. I took a class in copics and haven't been able to stop playing. I have oohed and aahed over all the beautiful cards I see on everyone's blogs and I have watched many tutorials and have not had the nerve to jump in. I finally did so this weekend and boy am I hooked! The class was a Pizzaz It Scrapbooks in Pikerington, OH (near Columbus). Great store, super inventory and very friendly staff!! We only used 6 colors and got great results, I guess that is not showing much modesty, but I am thrilled with the ease of it all. Another great bit of news is that Sally McDonald is going to teach 3 classes there in March and I got to sign up for them all! I am super excited about those. So, if you haven't all ready, go ahead and jump right in to the copic world! I am waiting to place an order for more pens and hope to have lots more cards to share.

Happy Stamping!

My First Post!

This card I made following the Splitcoast Stampers Sketch Challenge SC259. The Stamp is from Outliners inked in Stazon Timber Brown. The cardstock is all Bazzill: Aspen, Pinecone & Yellow. The DP is from Bo Bunny, Autumn Table. I love Martha Stewart's new border punches and have recently splurged on a few. The edging is done using the lattice punch. The ribbon and buttons are from years of collecting everything for scrap/stamping.
