I am in love with the whole catalog!! But I have to tell you that my two favorite products are the Forever Lovely Bundle (p. 5) and the All My Love Designer Paper. Actually I love the entire All My Love Suite (including the Meant to Be Bundle). They go perfect together. Below I used both of these bundles and accessories to create this lovely home décor, framed shadow box. This would make a lovely gift for that special person in your life; especially for Mother's Day, a daughter, friend, or that wall in your spare bedroom to show your guests they are special to you. I hope you like it as much as I do.</span></span><br />

It has been a long time since I last posted, but life has just gotten in the way it seems. However, it doesn't mean that I haven't been stamping -- since my last post I have stamped probably a hundred cards and stamping projects. It seems like after I get done stamping, I never have time to post and share. Please accept my apologies, and I will try to post more often even with the holidays approaching us. I have a few cards to share today that I worked on this month. Let me know what you think:</span><br />

BEAUTIFUL DESIGNER PAPER<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Okay my stamping friends, it's that time of year when the new 2018-2019 SU Big Catalog will be out with totally new designer paper, which I can guarantee you are going to love. If you are like me, I still have lots of designer paper left over from this year (and, yes, some I want to save for my scrapbooking). I have some beautiful samples to really make some WOW projects/cards using your designer paper. I have 2 tri-fold card samples (Ronda Wade provided the instructions) and another project I made by updating my older Mini Buckle Purse previously deigned in 2006 that holds up to 8 notecards (3" x 3") and envelopes. I hope you like them as much as I did making them (so easy and fun)!!</span><br />

Yes it has been a while since I have posted, but I'm still stamping and creating. Today I wanted to show you a few cards I created using the awesome Brusho Crystal Color and the new Hold on to Hope and You're Inspiring stamp sets. I so love the Brusho because you never know what you are going to get when designing your card. I did 20 First Communion cards using the Brusho for my background, and they all turned out a little different (depending on where I sprinkled it or how much I sprinkled). I hope you enjoy these as much as I did making them.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't know about you, but I get so excited every year at this time because it is Sale-A-Bration (SAB) time until the end of March!! That means free stuff for everyone who orders at least $50 from Stampin' Up!! Yep, for every $50 you order you get to pick from the new Sale-A-Bration Mini Catalog one item (e.g., order $100 and get 2 free products, $150 you get 3, and on and on!!!). Besides ordering from the annual big Catalog, don't forget to check out the new Occasions Mini Catalog that launched today -- it's gorgeous!! <br />
<br />
This would be a great time to buy the new Stampin' Blends -- you will totally love them for coloring. Buy all 27 of the Stampin' Blend colors for $121.00 (Item #147475), the coordinating "Color Me Happy Project Kit," for $25, (#144609); and a Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad,<span style="color: #333333;"> for $6</span> (#<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: #333333; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: "proxima_nova",sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: right; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">132708) and you will earn/pick 3 SAB products and $15 in free product rewards.

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I just wanted to pop in real quick to show you a couple of new cards. We are having such beautiful Fall days here in Michigan it is hard to stay in the house creating (even though I love to stamp!!). So I did a couple of quick watercolor cards yesterday using the same stamp set, but different colors (I loved it so much). I also have a card using a different technique with the new Decorative Masks.</span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Another new product I am in love with (because I love to create backgrounds) is the awesome new <strong><em>Decorative Masks</em></strong>. You get 4 different decorative masks in the package, for only $6.00!! Typically most people use these with the new <strong><em>Embossing Paste</em></strong>, but I wanted to try applying just ink with a sponge to create this beautiful background. I love the look. Also used on this card: <strong><em>Just Add Text Stamp Set</em></strong>, the new <strong><em>Leaf Punch</em></strong>, <strong><em>Fresh Fig Ribbon and Cardstock</em></strong>, <strong><em>Lemon Twist Ink and Cardstock</em></strong>, and a half doily sponged lightly with <strong><em>Fresh Fig Ink</em></strong>. </td></tr>

A couple of weeks ago I started using some of the new stamp sets and product from the 2017 Holiday Catalog (another awesome catalog full of product I just have to have!). Here are a few of the cards I came up with so far:</span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This card uses the new <strong><em>Carols of Christmas Bundle</em></strong> (stamp set and Thinlits Dies). A very quick and easy card, but beautiful in person.</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is my version of an old-fashioned snow globe. I got this idea from Pinterest and just changed it up a bit. It uses the new <em><strong>Night in Bethlehem Bundle</strong></em> (stamp set and Edgelits Dies). The base of the snow globe uses the new <strong><em>Everyday Label Punch</em></strong> on a piece of the new <strong><em>Champagne Foil Sheets</em></strong> (after punching, just cut it in half). I also used the foil sheet to cut the Edgelits Die for the town.</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Another quick and easy card using the new <strong><em>Everyday Label Punch</em></strong> and the <strong><em>Lots of Labels Framelits</em></strong> layered behind the punched sentiment. I love the new <strong><em>Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper</em></strong> and new <strong><em>Real Red 1/8" Solid Ribbon</em></strong> goes perfect with this paper. And an old favorite from last year, the <strong><em>Sweater Embossing Folder</em></strong> to make this card look all warm and fuzzy!</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">And for all of you who like to send a picture card, this card will really bring it up a notch!! Again I used the new <strong><em>Carols of Christmas Bundle</em></strong> (stamp set and Thinlits Dies). Simply use the Thinlits Dies to cut the vellum frame to layer on your picture and stamp the sentiment -- how easy is that!! You only apply glue dots to the top of the vellum so it can be lifted from the bottom to view the photo. This makes a "really personal card" that you can write a nice note inside for the family that is receiving your treasured memories. Something about getting a handwritten note versus a printed picture postcard really warms my heart.</td></tr>

Last week I had my family camping reunion and I am so happy that I decided not to put my tent up and instead sleep in my daughter's camper with the air conditioning. Even though I spent my days outdoors and cooled off by swimming, it was awesome spending my nights in it with cool air (yes, I'm not a true "camper"). So now I am back in the comfort of my home with indoor plumbing and cool air and trying to catch up on some stamping. Here are a few things I did this week:</span><br />

All of the 4 cards feature the new flowers and leaves from the <strong><em>Soft Saying Card Kit</em></strong> to show the versatility of the stamp set that comes with the card kit. I love this kit because it comes with everything you need to make 20 cards and still use the stamp set to create many more cards (as you can see with these samples).</td></tr>

I'm in love with everything!! I have so many new stamp sets, punches, and Framelits/Thinlits -- I don't know what to start with first!! I finished my baby album for my niece and love how it turned out. I especially love my last page using the new Stampin' Up Birthday Memories Suite. Oh my gosh, the Designer Series Paper (12" x 12") is to die for. The colors just pop off the paper, the matching Birthday Friends Framelits can be used to cut out the designs in the Designer Paper or cut the Birthday Delivery Stamp Set images -- love this bundle (save 10% when you buy the bundle vs. buying the items separately). Check out the first photo below for a sample. The other album pages use some current and discontinued Stampin' Up! product (some of the stamps go back a few years -- see if you can find them in the photos below). I like to show album pages here on my blog because a lot of you (if you are like me) are always looking for page layouts. You can switch out the paper and stamps with current product. Leave me a comment if you would like to see more album pages because I will be doing a lot of scrapbooking this summer to try and catch up.</span><br />

Catalog. Of course I have a list a mile long, as I'm sure you do also. Half of the fun is looking at all the new samples (which I have spent hours doing and will be doing over and over again). Today I will show you a sample of the new Daisy Delight Stamp Set. You can purchase the stamp set and the matching punch in a bundle (I love bundles to save money). You will love this bundle also, as it is "user-friendly" and cute, cute!! Also, I have a sample of the High Tide Stamp Set, carried over from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I jumped for joy when I found out it was being carried over -- perfect set for male cards -- if you don't have it already, you absolutely need to get this set. And finally, I wanted to show you some page layouts from an album I am doing for my great-nephew's first year. Most of the product I use for my albums is discontinued, but hopefully you can use the layout and substitute with product you have on hand. </span><br />

I actually am celebrating my second Mother's Day. My children honored me yesterday with an awesome cookout and way too much food and today I'm celebrating again by going to church and coming home to do NOTHING ("nadda") the rest of the day except play in my craft room!! My daughters decided we would celebrate the day before so we could just be lazy and do nothing on the actual day and not be cooking in the kitchen. Personally, I would rather eat what we prepare than what the men might decide to fix. The men in our family are not noted for their cooking, outside of grilling meat; and I for one don't want to clean up my kitchen after my husband has cooked in it (that's a long story we won't get into today). So we were all happy campers knowing we did it "our" way -- LOL!! Today I have a Mother's Day card I made using the <strong><em>Rose Wonder Stamp Set </em></strong>and the <strong><em>Rose Garden Thinlets Dies</em></strong>. I also wanted to show you some samples of how you can recycle your <strong><em>Paper Pumpkin</em></strong> shipping boxes. I used discontinued Designer Series Paper that I accessorized with the new <strong><em>Daisy Delight Stamp Set</em></strong> and <strong><em>Gold Faceted Gems</em></strong>, both of which will be in the new Stampin' Up 2017-18 Catalog (you are going to love all of the products in this product suite).</span><br />

I had a deadline to complete an entire album (45 pages) of my oldest daughter's life before her birthday and I did get it done, but a week late!! I had that terrible crud for 3 weeks that has been making its rounds in Michigan (actually, this is the 3rd time since Thanksgiving). This time it was a doozy and I had to end up going to the doctor's for medication, but it worked!! I also put together the March Paper Pumpkin Kit for my Easter dinner table treats -- I loved, loved that kit; and also managed to get a few Easter cards done the "day" before Easter (obviously, I was not able to mail to family not attending dinner at my place). Here are some pictures:</span><br />

The snow has all melted here in Michigan and I am really getting ready for Spring. I know, we still have a long way to go before it gets here, but a girl can always dream. I'm ready to create some gorgeous projects with flowers. But until then, let's just have a lot of fun with the awesome product in the Occasions Mini and the cute and gorgeous FREE stamps from the Sale-A-Bration Mini. There is only about 6 weeks left to get free product, and you never know when the supply might run out of some of the favorites. Today I am showcasing one of my favorites, <strong><em>Hey Chick</em></strong>, that you can get free with a $50 purchase!! I also have pictures of some of the cards I made from a Creating for Christ one-day event (I'll show more in my next post).</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The sample I am showing you today uses stamps from the "Beautiful You Stamp Set" in the Occasions catalog -- it truly is the <span style="color: #990000;"><strong>hottest</strong></span> stamp set on the market right now!!! If you don't believe me, just do a search on Pinterest and see all the incredible samples.

Most of you have probably seen sneak peeks of new product coming in the Occasions Mini, and I have a box load of new product to start playing with and share with you. You are going to love everything!! But, I do have to admit, I'm sad to see so many of my favorite holiday stamps and accessories retiring.

The card was made with the <strong><em>Snow Place Stamp Set </em></strong>and matching<strong><em> Snow Friends Framelits</em></strong> (I sure hope this set stays around for a while because it is so versatile). I made the 16 treat boxes for place-settings at our family Christmas dinner. Of course they are filled with chocolate (even my great-grandbabies are old enough for chocolate this year!!). I used the <strong><em>Gift Bag Punch Board</em></strong> to make the boxes -- I love how they turned out -- what do you think??</span><br />

What a great way to say "thank you" to health care professionals (doctors, dentists, nurses, receptionists); mail persons; newspaper deliverers; pastors; etc. -- and our family and friends. I love wrapping gift cards in a beautiful package. Here are some I made this week using Stampin' Up!

Ronda Wade puts this event on 4 times a year now -- because so many want to attend. Everybody brings the craft(s) they like to create (we have quilters, card and 3-D enthusiasts, scrapbooking, and so much more). Some just come to see old friends and do Ronda's classes. I usually take my scrapbooking materials because this is what I love to do the most. However, I had tons of card kits that I needed to catch up on, so I worked on them and visited with many friends I haven't seen in a long time. Here are pictures of a couple of cards I did and one of the many, many pillow gifts we receive from Ronda: </span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I love this card -- it is so pretty in real life. It is called a "Fan Fold" and you use your scoring tool on the <strong><em>Stampin' Trimmer</em></strong> or your <strong><em>Simply Scored Scoring Tool </em></strong>to create the "fan" affect. In this one I used the gorgeous <em><strong>Pop of Pink Specialty Designer Series Paper</strong></em>. </td></tr>

(I really need to remember to take some pictures next month so you can see how beautifully she has decorated her studio.) Today I'm sharing with you my swap card and Tamie Ackerson's cards she made for her technique presentation. Tamie demonstrated the "oldie-but-goodie" Dryer Sheet Technique. I only wish my camera would have accurately depicted all the dazzling diamond beauty in her cards -- they truly shimmered in real life. </span><br />
