I got my order of new items from Stampin' Up ! and I can share these with you.
The stamp set is a new level 2 hostess set called, Wings of friend ship and a level 3 Hostess set called Kind and Caring Thoughts.
The papers are some of the new In Colours...... Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo and soft suede. The beautiful designer series paper is called Razzleberry Lemonade and it is beautifu!!!

The In Colours come in a marker set this time. Great so that you can colour in the images using the marker as I did here.

Enjoy the sneak peek at some of the new catty items that will be available starting July 1st!

This is a way cool and easy to do card that has maximum impact. The added bonus is that it folds and fits into an A2 envelope. From what I can tell this is called a Shutter card. I have seen other versions but I like this one best. I got the instructions from my upline Caroline. Awesome.
For this card I used the Baja Breeze prints DS paper and Chocolate Chip cardstock.
If you have a scor-pal it makes the scoring of this card quick and accurate.
I will be posting the instructions for this card. Later this week.
Enjoy and happy stamping.

Unfortunately for me it's all the BaJa Breeze. I should have placed my order sooner. LOL

Wow, I have some cool and exciting news. Stampin' Up! is now on U-tube. You can subscribe to receive updates on new videos showing techniques or new product. Another fun and creative way to get you going.
Check it out here: www.youtube.com/stampinupvideo.

I have ordered the NEW 2009-2010 Idea Books and hope to have them by the end of June. As of June 1st I will be able to see some of the new stuff, including the new in colours. I am sad to be seeing the old colours leave but new is so much fun too!

The last chance list will also be posted on June 1st so watch for it to be posted here.

Happy stamping.

This is our newest member of the family. I wasn't really sure that I wanted a new dog, let alone a puppy. But Ollie is a sweetie and has become my shadow. I still have much to learn about puppies but he is a doll. I'm sure he'll teach me what i need to learn. My favorite thing about him is , he is only 4 months old, but he never leaves the property and comes when I call. The one down side is he loves cats.......to chase that is. My cats are not so fond of Ollie.

Again I LOVE this Bo Bunny paper. It is just too cute. I love orange too so that is an added bonus.

I'm actually on a roll with my scrapping. I am trying to simplify so that I can get more done.

Of course with an active toddler and a new puppy....I'm not sure what I can get done. Life is never dull.

Well, I can't Believe it but actually scrapped. My wonderful husband bought me an awesome Nikon SLR camera for Mothers Day/ Birthday. So I have been enjoying playing with it. It is so cool and I love the pictures that it takes. (I'll show more of those later.)

This is our dog Piper, she is a Valley Bull Dog. She is 10 years old and we are enjoying our last few weeks together. Piper has lymphoma and there is no treatment, just a palliative treatment we are using. She still has a lot of life left in her, but we see she is not the same dog she was a few months ago. I loved this Bo Bunny doggy paper and was actually glad to do a page for her. I just have to think about what to say in the journaling.

I used the Jumble Alphabet from the upcoming SU! catalogue. I love the fun letters, I will be using it a lot for scrapping I think.

It has been a busy week. We have had moves, birthdays and mad dashes to the airport. That's a story and a half on it's own.

But right now M ike and I are relaxing (yeah right) at my Dad's house. We have done some shopping, enjoyed the sun, seen a couple of movies(Star Trek rocked), and met up with friends.

Pretty much a fun time. It will be over too soon. :(

I just wanted to share a couple of quick pictures of what I did before I flew to Ontario.

Drew turned 15 this week. Not as exciting as 16 but one year closer to being able to drive. Can my nerves handle it. He wanted a Batman cake. He supervised so I got it right and he was thrilled with the results. It's the little things in life that bring joy. Poor batman lasted all of 5 minutes when the time came to cut the cake. So a complete success.
Isn't it nice to be able to do special things for the people you love. I can't wait to scrapbook this for him. I think I see more cakes in my future.

My scrap table is covered with 1/2 finished layouts. It seems there are not enough hours in a day. I've thought about giving up on sleep but......... that doesn't work well either.

So I thought : Why do we scrapbook? What is it that drives us to preserve these memories?

Connections!

So here is my tip of the day:

While you are thinking about connections to those around you that you love, consider thinking about the world population as well. Think about the causes or charities that are important to you and that you support. They say alot about who you are, which makes them GREAT TOPICS for your scrapbook pages.

Let's scrap into spring and share this hobby with anyone who will listen. LOL I'll be posting tips and other stuff all month and look for blog candy coming up after my trip. :)

We start May with this super offer, Buy 3 Designer series paper or 3 textured cardstock and get 1 FREE!

Wow, where did March and April go? All I can say is I have been super busy. Hardly got to get anything fun done. Just what had to be done. But It is now spring and i feel motivated and crafty so i can promise May will be a better Month.


Also May is National Scrapbooking Month,
with tomorrow being
National Scrapbook Day!


What a perfect way to start spring then with a scrapbook frenzy. I am challenging myself to scrap a page a day.

Also watch for a page featuring my new little friend. :)

It's March already? Boy, I must have overslept. I am not really sure where February went but it was a hustle and bustle of activity.

But I have a sneek peek and a chance to order some cute Easter sets from Stampin' Up! Early.

WAGON FULL OF FUN item number 113262 set of 10 $46.95
EIGHT GREAT GREETINGS item 113822 set of 8 $37.95

AN EGG-CELLENT EASTER item 113196 set of 6 $27.95

There are so many super things in the new occasions mini, I can't wait to get my order into my hands....it was almost like Christmas. Watch at the end of the month for some great sneak peeks at the rest of the mini!!! Well worth the wait.

I found a cool tutorial over on SCS. It is a crimped envelope card. Fast and so cute. I see them used for all kinds of things. Invitations, gift cards, love notes or little gifties. We all like those.

I made this card for a friend who isn't feeling very well right now. I seem to have too many of those these days.

For this you need a regular A2 envelope. You seal the flap and then cut 1 1/4 inches off the short end. You stamp the envelope and then run it through the crimper. Note: crimping will distort the image. I used the flower from Thoughts and Prayers. I used my quickie glue pen to trace the stem and then I poured on the new brown glitter.......so yummy!I stamped a sentiment on a card for the inside. Dimensions for this are 4 by 5 inches. I really love this idea.This is a picture with the lid off. I really hope my friend likes her card.
Here is one I did in riding hood red, using the Friends 24-7 set and the matching jumbo wheel. I love this set a lot, can't wait to play some more.
