Birthday Petites

Shannyn!! This is for you! U used the textured paper purely pomegranate, along with its double stitched partner. U also used the petites and to hold them together, u used the brad that comes in the kit. But when u use the pearls, the mini glue dots and pop up glue dots work well....gotta go!

Two of my new stamp sets

Hi guys! I know that some of you have seen this one already. This is an invitation that I sent out to some family and friends who live farther away than most. I didn't have much of an inspiration except that I wanted to use some new product from SU and my husband, of course...
I really wanted this to come out like a masculine invite and look festive as well. I think this came out better than I planned. I used the new antique brass jumbo eyelets from SU and played with the Big Celebrations stamp set...also SU. The background stamp is Aida Cloth with white craft ink. Don't think that I didn't use the awesome crop-a-dile!! It works perfect with the jumbo eyelets..
This card is probably obvious what I used, except that I wanted to point out what I did with the twine...it's braided. I also wanted to work with colors that I wouldn't usually mix but I ended up pretty happy with this....


Don't you hate blogs when the person says "I" about 20 million times!? Maybe for my next post "I" will put "U" in place of it...we'll see.

Nathalie's Workshop

Hard workers! Or maybe you all are getting tired of me taking pic's...I just get so excited!
This is Ophelia's. We were using the Prints Designer Series Papers, Zoofari and Polka Dots & Paisley stamp sets.
We also had a chance to use the new Rhinestone Brads along with the uni-ball Signo Gel Pen as Karen shows off on one of her cards.
This is Bessie's. This card is definately a one of a kind. She is the artist of the group, obviously! She used the Big Celebrations stamp set and colored with the Stampin' Write Markers. She also used the ZIG Painty. "Get down Bessie!!"
I want to send a shout out for the salad we had...it is always a pleasure to have lunch with you ladies.

Hi guys! I just wanted to let you all know that the next workshop is coming up this Saturday. It will be at Nathalie's house and some of the new product will be on parade! Please be sure to note that the time has changed to 1 pm. Don't forget to rsvp in your evite. If you didn't get an evite in your email, please don't be shy to put a response in this blog or even email me. See you soon!

Happy 4th of July!

I have the day off today and boy it's been a hard week so far. Work is heavy duty right now but I am thanking the Lord every day that I have a job, and a good one at that! Anyways, my guys are sleeping and I have a little time to write...
Have you all looked at the new Stampin' Up! Fall-Winter 2007 Collection catalog? If you don't have one in your hand yet, let me know and I can get one out to you. SU will be publishing 2 catalogs a year, one in July, another in January. The purchase price will still be ten dollars however you will not miss the opportunity to ooh and ahh over all of the pictures and examples they have put together in this catalog! SU has also put in LOTS of new designer series papers to choose from and more accessories to play with...beautiful! And have you seen the crop-a-dile? That is a tool that has the punching power, precision and ease that we all need when we are on a creative flow! You can't miss that one. Anyways, here is the Stampin' Up! website so click here and have fun flipping the pages...http://stampinup.com/ .
