Have you seen the new Gingham Garden Designer Series Paper that is available in the 2013-2014 Annual Catalog? Well, get ready to be blown away with the digital version!
About to Blossom August Kit
Oh my – it’s time for me to put my digital download wish list together.
I’ve been a bit lax in posting the new digital downloads, so click on the picture below to visit the newest downloads.
Stampin’ Up! was very creative this year when setting up the Display Boards in the Demonstrator Resource Center for 2013 Convention.
I didn’t realize it at the time, but since I take pictures of the entire board (instead of each individual card like some people do), when I downloaded the pictures to my laptop each evening I noticed that the boards spelled out various phrases. Here are three such phrases, which just happen to be part of Stampin’ Up!’s trademark logo!
I thought this was awesome when I put the pieces all together (I created this layout in My Digital Studio). What’s really cool is that some of my own card designs are included on the boards!
I will have more to share with you tomorrow, including the latest updates on Stampin’ Up! promotions and new products coming soon.
Until next time, stamp on my friends,
Linda
It’s been a rough week since I attended Convention in Salt Lake City. Upon my return home I discovered that my dear sweet Sebastian was very ill and unfortunately there wasn’t anything the doctors could do to make him better.
We said our last goodbyes on Friday and had a memorial service for him on Saturday. There are some people who do not understand the sorrow I feel (“he’s just a dog”) but to me he was my “little man” and I will miss him terribly.
On a more pleasant note, I wanted to share with you another card I designed and submitted as part of my application for the Stampin’ Up! Artisan Design Team that was posted on one of the many Display Boards in the Demonstrator Resource Center during Convention.
And here are the supplies that I used in the design of my card:
Card stock: Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Whisper White
Classic Stampin’ Pads: Raspberry Ripple
Stamp Sets: Label Love, Feels Good
Tools: Stampin’ Trimmer, Bone Folder, Artisan Label Punch
Other Supplies: Stampin’ Dimensionals, Snail Adhesive, Raspberry Ripple Satin Stitched Ribbon, Jewels Basic Rhinestones, Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper, Crumb Cake Medium Envelope
Thank you for visiting my blog today. If you have a beloved pet, give them a big ol’ hug and a kiss.
Until next time, stamp on my friends,
