Weeeooo!



Here is yet another card using the Kaleidoscope DSP 132995 that was available
starting yesterday in the new Occasions 2014 catalog.

I used the DS132  sketchy Deconstructing Jen, to design this card for a special little guy who is celebrating his first birthday this month.

 I used the Envelope Punch Board (133774) to make a matching envelope from the same DSP. The punch board is probably one of those tools that will be on my favorites list for a long time. It is so easy to use and it's not just for envelopes, but gift card holders, boxes, and etc. A great addition to your paper crafting stash if you haven't bought one as of yet. You will not be dissappointed.

SU PRODUCTS USED

Paper: Kaleidoscope DSP 132995
Crushed Curry CS, Shimmery White 101910,
 Bermuda Bay CS
 *I used the shimmery White to stamp the emergency truck. I found using the inks and Aqua Painters on this paper, just held up better. The watercolor paper just didn't give a sharp,clear image. I am going to play around a little more with the it in a few weeks. I'll let you know how it goes.

You Make Me Happy



This is a card I created using the Mojo 326 sketch 
that I put together yesterday. 

The paper is from the new Occasions Catalog for 2014, Kaleidoscope. It is a fairly bright and trendy paper that can be some what difficult to work with.  This is the sixth card ( I had thought only four!) I have created using it. Although I do like it, I'm still am working at getting  more comfortable incorporating it on my cards.

Happy New Year and Weekly Deals


Well  2013 is coming to a close. It's hard to believe that another year has gone by so quickly. Although, they tell me, that happens as you get older! 

As is the case with most of us, the year did bring some challenges, but I have been blessed. Moving to Southern California was my biggest challenge. Although I love this area, 6 of my 7 children live on the East Coast, so seeing them and my grandchildren on a more regular basis has been difficult. I have been able to spend some time out East though and for that I am grateful. 

In July we are headed to Maine for a Family Reunion.
 A week filled with fishing, boating, skeet shooting, hiking and just connecting and enjoying each other. Or at least, I hope enjoying each other.

Of course that will mean no crafting for a week, but I'll survive!



First, my sincere wishes for a Happy and Blessed New Year 
to each of you and your families.

May your new year be filled with all good things and lots of time to be CRAFTY!

Speaking of crafty, today is Tuesday and that means another chance to grab some GREAT Stampin'Up! products at a great price.
 
Here are just 2 of the 10 items offered for the WEEKLY DEALS.

As always, while supplies last.

Why not take advantage of theses specials before the year ends.

Just click here: WEEKLY DEALS and you be brought directly to my
Demonstrators Business Web Site where you can see all the
 items on sale and order directly from me.

I would love to be your creative coach and demonstrator of choice.

And again

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM MY HOUSE TO YOURS!
