New Catalog!!!

Oh my goodness. I have spent hours looking at the new catalog! I am so excited about it. To be honest, at first I was having a few "stamping letdown" feelings. I was hoping for a few things that are not in there, but now that I have browsed a few more times, I am excited!!!!!

Some of the things I like:
Stamp sets:
  • Calendar (pg 154) this is a background stamp that gives a blank calendar image. Very cool! and I certainly missed it on the first and second times through the catalog
  • Calendar Cues (pg 154) goes with the calendar above... little reminder stamps such as an X for crossing off days, appt for when you need to put an appointment on the calendar, bDay well, I think this one is obvious, and more...just have to wait to see it! LOL
  • All in the Family (pg83) This is absolutely adorable!!! you can create your entire family of stick people from this set. It includes heads, clothing different feet, a dog and a cat. There is also an accessory set that you can add on with balls, balloons, teddies etc...

The accessories:

  • The new in color colors!!! BEAUTIFUL. I have to say that it took some time to grow on me, but Wild Wasabi...and Purely Pomegranite oh and Groovy Guava!!! YUMMY....
  • Pretties Kit (pg 188) all sorts of flower parts and pieces to accessorize your pages and cards and the cool thing is that you can color them whatever color you want, using pastels or watercolor crayons or classic ink.
  • Crop a dile (pg 189) this is an eyelet setter that #1 is quiet for those nights when you are up late working on a project and the entire family has gone to bed. #2 will punch through the chipboard and tin so you can add eyelets and brads to anything! #3 punchs both 1/8" and 3/16" so it is like a 2 in 1 punch.
  • TAFFETA Ribbon (pg 190) yes, I feel a "ribbon share" coming on with my customers.

When I get a few samples using these sets and accessories, I will add them to this post!

Stamper's Club Starting soon!

My clubs will be once again starting shortly. Sign up soon to reserve your spot. The catalogues are in so if you come by, sign up then you can HAVE the new catalogue in your hot little hands immediately. I will not have time in the next few weeks for a catalog reveal, so please email me to sign up. Here are some questions I've had about clubs over the years I've been offering them. What is a Club? Each month the same club members get together in my studio to learn new techniques, make projects and have fun. The club runs for seven consecutive months and each member commits to spending a minimum of $30 per month (before shipping/taxes) from choices in the catalogue(s). You make the projects for FREE each month. What are the benefits? You get a turn at being the hostess once in the seven month cycle and earn free hostess only benefits and stamp sets! What if I can't make it to club? No problem - Your project will be completed for you if you are unable to come - you just send...

Thinking Pink for a few minutes

A friend had a baby girl so I had an excuse to work with the pink colours for this card. Again it features the retired "Bundle of Joy" and I also used my cuttlebut for the textured hearts. The base of the card is Regal Rose and the accent is Pretty in Pink. Someone asked how I am getting my "watermark" on my photos. I am creating it each time I edit my photos so I am not really using a "watermark" as such. Difficult to explain because I don't really know what I am doing. I use Photoshop CS2...
