How time flies...




when you are incredibly busy! As some of you know, I have recently started a new teaching position at our church's brand new preschool. I am teaching the pre-k class, and it has been quite a bit of work to prepare for not only a new school year, but a new preschool program. Now that the school year is underway, I have returned to my beloved stamps and to the world of blogging with a renewed fervor. I am committed to posting several times a week at least (with every day being my ultimate goal). I am truly so excited about the Fall/Winter Idea Book and all of the new products being offered. This is, beyond a doubt, my favorite collection yet. I love the stamp designs, the colors, the papers, accessories, the new Big Shot Die Cutting System (though I've yet to order it, I am in awe of all that it can do)...in short, I LOVE the new catalog!! I have already placed my preorder from the upcoming Holiday Mini, and I am in anticipation of it arriving on my doorstep on Monday by the time I am home from school. The next few months will bring many exciting promotions from Stampin' Up and several new classes and workshops from me. Please be checking back to this blog often for the latest sales, items I've created and workshop dates and times. (There is a link on the side bar that will take you directly to the promotions section of my Stampin' Up website, as well as a link that will direct you to my events calendar.) As always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you would like to earn free Stampin' Up product by hosting a workshop. Also, if there is a specific technique or project that you would like to see offered in a class or workshop, please email those suggestions.




Okay, now for today's card. I am in love with the new "In Colors" from Stampin' Up. I have to admit, when I first saw the new colors unveiled, I was very concerned about color combinations. But, to my delight, I have found many, many ways to use the "In Colors" together and with other color families. This card is made with Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss and Whisper White (with a bit of silver glitter pen added in for some pizazz). The dots around the flower are done with marker, and the holes lining the corners of the Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss and Whisper White are made with the paper piercing tool. I'd love to see a picture if you've worked with the new In Colors, and comments are welcome!
I'll be back tomorrow with a new card...
