This was the question I posed at the beginning of August…………..
Have you taken a really good look at pages 148 and 149 in the new catalog? the page is headed ‘Paper Basics, cards and envelopes”
The 2015 – 2016 Stampin’ Up! catalog bought us new ‘In-colors – a rich and vibrant selection for this year. I have been organizing a monthly “share’ where each person joining receives the ink pad, ink refill, 5 full sheets of card stock and the coordinating marker in each of the 5 colors…….. at the end of 5 months they will have all of the new colors.
Earlier this week a dear friend celebrated a milestone birthday – since she is a card crafter as well it had to be a special card for her. I did a lot of research and found this design on Dawn Griffith’s website – she made wonderful video to explain how it works and I will put in a link a little further down the page.

I have added some new videos to my blog, all of them feature the ‘Lovely Amazing You’ Stamp set, which was the featured set for May’s Stamp Set of the Month, which is my virtual on-line class. In addition to detailed instructions I also make a video on each of the projects so you can see them being made. More information is available on the Stamp Set of the Month tab on my page.
Two new babies arrived this past week, one the son of some friends and the other the daughter of the folks who live a few houses away in our neighbourhood. This seems to have been a year for babies…… I cannot remember making so many cards in so short a time!

I have just completed the August kits and they will be going to their new homes over the next few days.
Each of the packs contained the supplies to make 4 completely different cards with the Heartfelt Sympathy Stamp set. It contains stamps that were all words – no pictures, so it was a challenge to come up with designs that would complement the words!
Time for another guy birthday card, this one is very straightforward and features decorative paper as the focal point and it cut at an angle to give it a little more interest.

Last week I shared my treat for the swap I took part in during the Stampin” Up convention last month. One of the treat boxes I received in return held 3 well-known chocolate squares and the box was so cute I decided to make some up for a dinner I was invited to last weekend.
