I am so excited to have received my "preview" order. I got busy late last night using some of the goodies. I think I really like the new "In Colors" now that I have seen them in real . These cards were made using a template that I came across, I think from sheetload of cards . The red paper is a bit like Ruby Red, but it is actually Riding Hood Red. The patterned papers are from one of the new designer series papers, Bella Rose. In the photo you can also see the new Scallop Border Punch....really cool to play with too! I hope you enjoyed these, I hope to have another something to share with you tomorrow...oh wait, I can show you what the cover of the new catalog looks like... no, I don't have it yet but someone at convention shared it.

Well, and surfin' the net... you see, I bought myself a new laptop and it has "Vista" on it... I love Vista!!! For those of you who didn't know, I used to be a tech support for Vista... but not for the customers, I supported the techs on the floor who supported the customers... Ok, enough of that except I will give you my reason for my appreciation of Vista... If you have Vista, you will know this...Vista has a "sidebar" and on this sidebar, you can install gadgets. My favourite gadget by far is the "RSS feeds" I get the updates from all my favourite blogs instantly and can access them from my desktop. OK, boring..... but not for me... this is my excitement for the day as it allowed me to get my inspiration for this card from Paula. My card base is using "River Rock" one of this year's " In Colors collection " and Mellow Moss. The printed paper is my from my new package of "Ginger Blossoms" and the stamp is from th...

Every year I am asked to do a "Christmas Craft" with the ESL students at our local college. Usually there are around 20 students but this year there is 40! Wow... a little nervous about this but it should work out. My plan is to have them create a "votive holder" and a Christmas card that they can either give to their host family or take/send home to their own families. Usually they want to keep it themselves though as they are very excited to have created something so cool with their own hands. This post shows this years votive holder which features the Hostess Set: Perfect Presentation. The cardstock is Wild Wasabi and Purely Pomegranate. Enjoy!

Good Morning everyone, Just thought you all might like to see what we did on Club night this past week. Everyone had their own ideas for what they wanted to use the card for, so every card turned out different. This is absolutely fantastic as it shows the "Artistic License" that each individual has when stamping. This is exactly what I want to see when you stamp with me. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind direct copying if you don't have any ideas right at the moment, the idea of my classes is to "SPARK" your creativity so even if you copy and take it home and then use the idea for another project, I have reached my objective :) Here then are my samples that everyone used for their own creativity. (I even copied one of the gal's for the Christmas Tree one... ;) Thanks Debbie!) This is one of the new sets this year and I think I am in love with it. I ordered it for the Stampin' Up! pre-view prior to the new catalog coming out, but have only used it ...
