RemARKably Creative - Something New!

I'm excited to be participating in the RemARKably Creative Blog Tour this month - a first for me. Ever. I've never joined a blog hop before, but have admired the talents of many bloggers and hoppers, and I've always wanted to... so I thought I would give it a try.

Everything's coming up... no, not roses... Daisies! I'm in love with the new Delightful Daisy Suite (available June 1) and how versatile it is. It's funny... when I sit down to create a card I have a certain vision, but as I start playing with different colors and elements, I tend to go in a different direction.

The colors in the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper are Daffodil Delight and Old Olive, but I tried a couple of different yellows and greens to bring out the different hues of the paper. I settled on Always Artichoke as a nice complement to the Old Olive, but found the Daffodil Delight complements itself.

As soon as I finally decided on my colors, everything else just sort of fell into place. And this is what the finished card looks like!

The center of the daisy doesn't show up very well in the above picture, so I had to include a close-up!

Fun, isn't it? Nothing a little Wink of Stella and Fine Tip Glue Pen can't make prettier!

Before you hop on to the next blog, I'd love it if you would please take a moment to leave me a comment.

Thank you!

A Sneak Peek from the New Catalog!

This is an exciting time of year in the Stampin' Up! world! There are about three weeks left before the new annual catalog comes out, and there are some AMAZING things in that catalog! As a taste of what's to come, Stampin' Up! has a new bundle available before the June 1 launch! Check out the Eastern Palace Suite bundles!

Although I purchased the Premier bundle, I decided to make a few cards using the starter bundle! Check out these quick and easy cards...

I love how quick and easy these cards are - the Very Vanilla notecards make it super simple! But beware... the Eastern Beauty stamp set is highly addictive... there are so many pieces that you will no doubt find fun ways to use them!

If you order either of these bundles, I will give you a free one-on-one class! If you're not local, I will send you a PDF for the instructions on how to make not only these cards, but ones made with the premier bundle as well (pictures to be posted soon)! Visit my online store to get bundle details or place an order today.

Let's Celebrate Sale-a-Bration - and a New Blog Post!

I've been a bad blogger. I've ignored this page for too long, and now I'm ready to get back into it! Starting with the end of Sale-a-Bration... it's so sad... but stick with me, because it's about to get happy!

Stampin' Up! has released seven new items for the final stretch of Sale-a-Bration! If you haven't taken advantage of Sale-a-Bration yet, you're missing out! Earn a FREE gift for every $50 in product you order. And what's even better... I am offering FREE shipping on top of the Sale-a-Bration item! Yes, for every $50+ order you place between now and March 31, I will take care of your shipping costs. If you place an order directly with me, I will deduct it from your order. If you place an order online using host code T3FTP7J4, a check will be mailed to you when the order ships.



You can see all of the first release and second release by clicking on the links here, or to the right of my blog post.

Happy looking, happy shopping, and happy creating!

Paper Pumpkin is so Sweet!

I love my Paper Pumpkin subscription - I look forward to it every month! And after seeing the video for January's kit, I wish I had been able to increase my subscription to two (or three... tee hee!). Alas, I can hope kits and/or refills will be available soon (just so you know... past kits and refills are exclusive to Paper Pumpkin subscribers only. So it's not too late to sign up and buy past kits, or pre-pay for February's kit).

I'll post alternative projects as soon as I receive my kit and create something fun! In the meantime, if you want to experience all the fun Paper Pumpkin has to offer, visit the MyPaperPumpkin.com and sign up. Or, head over to my online store where a 3-month subscription is only $54.85 (regular price $59.85) - and qualifies you for a FREE Sale-a-Bration item! Oh, and don't forget that shipping is included (tax is not), so that's an extra bonus!

See... I really do love Paper Pumpkin!

Have a happy day... stamping!
