Hello my name is Tricia.....

I have really been gone this time! I'm not going to make any excuses though. My New Year's Resolution is to update my blog at least 3 times a week. I'm not even going to wait to start for the new year - but start right now!

I'm soooooooo excited about the new Spring-Summer Collection 2008 Stampin' Up! catalog!! I love all the new stamp sets and I'm dying to get a lot of the new accessories! If you would like a copy - call or email me. I've already got a shipment in that I can't wait to get into everyone's hands!

Stampin' Up! has 2 great offers available to customers starting January 2 - 31, 2008:

1. When you purchase the Happy Harts Day stamp set, Real Red 5/8" grosgrain robbon, and medium cellophane bags, you'll receive the Regal Rose 5/8" grosgrain ribbon - free!

2. Host a workshop of at lest $350 between January 2 - 31, 2008, and choose one of the following sets - free! (Happy Heart Day, A Beautiful Thing, A Little Birdie Told Me, Mark the Date, Celebrate Everything, Embrace Life and Nursery Necessities.)

I can't create a link to the on-line catalog until January 2, when the new catalog is available for customer purchases. Contact me if you would like to see a picture of these great new stamp sets.

I created this card using the new Celebrate Everything and A Beautiful Thing stamp sets.

Card Recipe Stamp sets: Celebrate Everything, A Beautiful Thing; Card Stock: Purely Pomegranate, Groovy Guava, Whisper White; Ink: Purely Pomegranate, Groovy Guava; Accessories: Prints Designer Series Papers in Groovy Guava, 3/4" circle punch, stampin' dimensionals.

Along with a brand new Stampin' Up! catalog - You also get brand new Hostess Sets! I made this card using one of the new Level 2 stamp sets that you can get for free for hosting a $300 minimum workshop.

I used the Spring Solitude Bundle to make this quick and simple card. Not only do you get a stamp set of 6 stamps - but you also get a stampin' around wheel! I only used 2 of the stamp images from the set and wheeled the stampin' around Solitude image on the bottom of the card.

Card Recipe Stamp set: Spring Solitude Bundle Hostess Level 2 Set; Card stock: Certainly Celery, Pixie Pink, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White; Ink: Chocolate Chip, Pixie Pink; Accessories: 5/8" Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon, Scallop punch, 1-3/8" circle punch, Round Tab punch, mini glue dot, stampin' dimensional and Dazzling Diamonds glitter.

I hope you enjoyed seeing the cards as much as I enjoyed making them. Have a great New Year's Eve!!
