Baby It's Cold Outside ...

It is really cold outside today, 25 degrees and that is the high, so I'm thinking warmth.  When thinking of warm weather, my mind goes to the sun, green grass and flowers.  With that thought in my head and wanting to play with The Paper Players challenge, I headed to my craft room for some stamping fun.

Today I decided to use some of my goodies that have not seen any action in a long time, probably since I became a SU Demonstrator.  I blew off the dust, had a good sneeze, and started getting inky fingers. Well, not everything was dusty, the stamp set is actually new. I received an early Christmas present and just had to use it.  

Stamps:  Floral Wreath by Gina K.

Paper:  Bazzill, SU White

Ink:  Black

Accessories:  SU Pearls, Cuttlebug swirls embossing folder, ribbon, Nestabilities oval and scalloped dies, Prismacolor markers

I was really pleased with how this card came out and had so much fun coloring the flowers.

I hope everyone stays nice and warm!  Have a great day!

Next week I will be participating in another blog hop with the Pals.  Be sure to stop by on Tuesday, August 10th to see what everyone has created.

Today is another scorcher and we are supposed to go play golf this afternoon...ugh!  This will be our last family outing before school starts on Monday for Michael and Bethany heads back to college.  It's been a great summer break with my family and I always hate to see it end. 

Have a great day,

Catalog CASE

I was looking through the new 2010-11 Stampin' Up! catalog...again...and saw this card on page 130 and really liked it.  I don't have a cake plate stamp so I used my Cricut cartridge Sweet Treats to cut it out.  I was really pleased with the way it turned out.

Stamps:  Itty Bitty Bits, On Your Birthday
Paper:  non-SU...came from Michael's in an assortment pack.  Yellow, turquoise, black, white
Ink:  Pixie Pink, Orchid Opulence, Black
Accessories:  Cricut and Sweet Treats cartridge, glue dots, corner rounder

Tomorrow is a big day for me.  The present man will be stopping by with my goodies from the new catalog.  It will be an exciting afternoon going through everything and hopefully getting to play with it too. 

I will be participating for the first time in a Blog Hop.  Join Mary Fish and the Stampin' Pretty Pals on Tuesday, July 13th at 5:00 AM CST for our New Catalog and In Colors 2010 PALS HOP!  We'll show off our paper crafting skills with inspirational ideas and projects featuring the amazing new selections and papers available in the new 2010-11 Stampin' Up!
