I wanted to announce that the new Spring Summer 2009 catalogue is here! It has so many great sets and new accessories that I don't know where to start. I wanted to add a link to see the dormant sets that are available just not in the idea book.

I am also adding a link for the supply list for the projects in the Idea Book. So you know what you need to recreate the beautiful samples you can find inside.

http://www.stampinup.com/ca/documents/CAN_SS09_Stampin_Supplies.pdf this is cool because they have put a picture of the project right beside the supplies. :)

Need one........ contact me.

I decided that tonight would be a good night to play a little with my cricut and some vinyl. I got 2 new font cartridges and I wanted to try them out a little. One is Storybook the other is Calligraphy collection. I used brown vinyl and some black as well. I will replace the black with brown when I get more. Some little monkey took out the blade assembly and put it in back words........so I thought I was cutting on 6 but it was really set to 1. So I ruined one whole piece of vinyl. :( I got it figured out anyway.
Stampin' Up ! has chosen these 3 words as a statement about the company. I think they are wonderful words about what I Love to do. This wall is over my computer desk.
I used the Decor elements flourish set and the always bird. I love that bird. LOL
I have a couple of other things to add to the wall and then it will be truly finished. But I am really liking how it turned out. I can't wait for phase 3 of Decore Elements, I have one chosen for my living room already. But I will need DH to paint first. Can't wait to be able stamp tomorrow, I have been doing some cool techniques, I am excited to share them with you!!!

I am soooooooo excited, it is finely here to brighten up all this snowy weather. The new Spring/Summer 2009 Stampin' Up! Catalogue. Mojo couldn't wait to get his paws on one.
(Also this is as clean as my desk will ever look)
You can get one of these free, if you sign up for one of my stampin' clubs, or book a party with me.
OR........ you can purchase one for 10.00 . Refundable on a 100.00 order.
I can't wait to place my first order, there are too many fabulous things in here, you are gonna want it all!!!!

I wanted to post some of the projects I have made with the Bundled in Love Promo from Stampin' Up!

The stamp set is too cute and with the new punch and Candy Lane papers it is a real treat.

The first project is peppermint patty covers. These are super easy and so cute. Using different punches you can layer images. I used the scalloped punch, 1 1/4 circle punch and the new 3 heart punch. On one I also used scalloped circles from the Big Shot pennant die.

The next project is a wooden clothes pin altered to be a photo holder or a note holder. These are cute and easy gifts. I used a large wooden clothes pin. Adhered some Candy Lane paper to it using crystal effects. I used a scalloped circle and punched out areas of the stamped image. I layered them on pop dots. I added little pink sticky crystals around the edge. As a final touch I used crystal effects to make the heart in the middle dimensional and shiny.

The next project is a bookmark, made with a large paper clip. I cut out a scalloped circle of chipboard with the Pennant die and the Big Shot. I cut out a matching scallop using the Candy Lane paper. I then cut a Whisper White 1 3/4 circle. I stamped the two birds and coloured them in in Pink Pirouette ink and went over them with crystal effects to get the raised shiny look. I stamped the sentiment friend to friend on it in Chocolate chip ink.

The last project is a little chip board book. I cut all the paper and chipboard using my top note die. I used my handy crop-a-dile to Punch a hole in the side of the pages and I attached a book ring. I used our felt fusion flowers on the cover with crystal brads and well. This would make a cute Valentines Day gift for a friend or relative.

My Motto for this year is going to be " Make it Homemade" So stay tuned for lots of gift type ideas.

I was extremely excited the other night to actually get to play with the copics I got for Christmas. (Thanks Dad!) I was only able to get 13 markers but I do hope to increase those numbers as.........I am in love. These things are so nice to work with. I am still learning, and the learning curve is steep. But when you get to play, it puts all the fun back into colouring.

The first thing I did after arriving at my Grandmothers for summer vacation, well after a kiss and raiding the cookie jar. I would walk down to the 5 and 10 store and buy a colouring book and a new package of crayons. I loved colouring and still do, even more now that I have been introduced to Copic's.

The other night when I went to craft club, I introduced the girls to a stamp company called High Hopes http://www.highhopesstamps.com/ the images are perfect for using copic's. I also love that it is a Canadian Company. The owner is wonderful and not only do you get great stamps you get awesome service as well.

These images were just coloured in using E00, E33, E35,W1, E11,YR00 and B39. I plan to collect more markers as time goes by. They are quite addictive.
