Hi all! Just popping in with a quick on-the-go mobile post from the handy dandy iPhone. I have a sneak peek for you from the Stampin'Up! new catty that showcases the new 2013-2015 In Color palette. I had an itch to craft once my goodies came in, so I was determined to squeeze in some stamping this past weekend. Don't these colors look so yummy? It was pretty hard to resist taking them out of the packaging! I love the pretty embossing folder, too. It definitely adds that extra little something that makes these cards look so fancy, yet so simple to put together. I had a lot of fun making this project! I also decorated some clothes pins using the new washi tape from the new catty as well. I made the little flowers in the same palette using the 3/4" scallop circle punch, the itty bitty punch for the flower center and topped it off with the basic pearls. So, what do you think? Excited to play with these new colors and pretty products? Just less than a month away and you'll be able to see it all!
Here's the list of colors for you:
Strawberry Slush
Brown Sugar
Coastal Cabana
Pistachio Pudding
Cantaloupe Crisp
Hope you have a great one!

In LOVE with In Colors!
Hi all! While many Stampin'Up! demonstrators are at convention right now, I sat out this year out to spend time with Denver. I am happy to say that I'm managing to get a wee bit of a stamping fix by playing with my new catalog goodies in between my little baby's nap time! It's definitely a juggle, as I'm learning. I have newfound amazement and respect for all the new moms that could still find time to craft and tend to baby {and other kids, in some cases!}. Needless to say, I had LOTS of fun crafting with the new Houndstooth and Stripes Embossing folders as well as the brand new Petite Pockets Bigz XL die. The cute little envelopes were SOO fun to make. Oh - and I can't forget the stamp sets - I played with Button Buddies and Happiest Birthday Wishes {hostess set}.
It feels good to be stamping! Here are more pictures for you.

Happiest Birthday Wishes Clear Mount Hostess Stamp Set, $15.00 with Hostess Dollars:
It feels good to be stamping! Here are more pictures for you.
I love the coordinating ruffled ribbon and ink colors! These look great in monotone colors, or you could definitely have fun mixing and matching. The flower from the Button Buddies set punches out perfectly with the scallop circle punch - isn't that cool? How do you like the textures? I did the Houndstooth on the envelope flap, and the Stripes just on the back bottom panel. I kept the front side smooth.
And of course, I had to make a little card tag insert for the inside of the envelope. Those little circle reinforecments are part of the die cut! Aren't these fun little envelope ensembles? These would be great little thank you note cards, too, or any sort of gift note cards {baby, wedding, teachers, hostesses, new neighbors...possibilities are endless!}
Hope you got some good ideas! If you like what you see and want to order some of these goodies, you can always shop 24/7 at my Online Store. Thanks for popping by today. Have a good one :)

Freebie Friday for the Shoe Lover
Hi all! So glad it's Friday! I've got a fun giveaway today...if you're a Shoe Lover, you'll love this little notebook. Here's a look:
The shoe is from the Things I Love stamp set and the fun paper is Razzleberry Lemonade DSP with Crushed Curry in the background. Wanna see a couple more pictures? Here you go:
The notebook fits a 5"x8" junior legal pad, so it would be handy for taking notes by your computer or bringing to work to jot notes down in. Here's a look at the inside.
The left side is a little pocket folder edged with scalloped trim {a little extra detail for ya!} that you can put cards, coupons, or whatever in, and then I added the scalloped envelope on the outer side of the pocket so you can put stuff like stamps or business cards in. How do you like it? It's a slightly modified version of the notebooks I was making before, in that this one has an extra pocket on the cover. Ingenious huh? Well, I got this brilliant idea from Mish Wooderson's blog. She made planners for the holidays last year. I'll be scheduling a class to make a Holiday notebook soon, so if you're local in the LA area of Southern CA, stay tuned!
Now, to play in this week's Freebie Friday, all you need to do is leave me a comment on this post with either your email address or blog address (basically so I can get in touch with you). Leave the comment by midnight on Sunday, September 27th and I'll be announcing the winner on Monday, Sep 28th. So, you can comment about anything, or answer this question: When do you start getting ready for the Christmas/Hanukkah Holiday Season?
I look forward to reading your comments! Have a great weekend :)

Shelli's SIP Challenge

Hey there blog buddies! As you all know, I LOVE me the challenges. For me, I'd say that card challenges help me to dig deep and find my inner creativity. Does that sound a little corny? I think it's true though. Soo, before I get into a long philosophical tangent about creative inspiration, let me say that the creative challenge I participated in tonight is Shelli Gardner's SIP challenge. What is SIP? Well, it stands for Stamps, Ink, Paper and she says that we can create anything that only uses those elements. The key is to keep it simple.
I decided to go with some distressed edges, embossing, free-hand cutting and a modified punch to create my card today. The color scheme I went with was a simple 3 color combo of Rich Razzleberry, Going Gray, and Shimmery White. My inspiration came from the CB2 catalog - they had a lot of gray color schemes with a pop of one other color and white, so I used the Rich Razzleberry to add that extra color element. I've been drawn to that color lately! It's got a nice fall feel to it. Here's a look at the full card.


{Razzleberry Flowers Card Recipe}:Hope you like it. Thanks for taking a peek and visiting me today!
All supplies Stampin'Up!
* Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry, Shimmery White, Going Gray
* Stamp Set: For All You Do
* Inks: Rich Razzleberry, Going Gray
* Accessories: distressing tool, Ornament Punch, Elegant Bouquet Embossing folder, sponge dauber (for the Rich Razzleberry distressed edge)

Simply thinking of you

Hello there! I'm trying to figure out my swap prototype(s) for convention next week and this is one of the thoughts I finally put to paper. I've been wanting to use the Woodgrain background stamp with an In Color color scheme, so I thought an owl would be a perfect acessory for this stamp set, along with a little leafy branch.
I was also trying to go for something clean, yet simple that I can quickly mass produce (procrastinator that I am!). What do you think? Would you trade with me? I would love to hear your feedback!
I'll check in with you later....time to get ready for work. Have a great day! Toodles for now.

Kwerner Color Inspiration Challenge 55

Morning all - it's a drizzly Saturday morning here in CA. So, in the midst of my chores this morning, I found time to create a card for Kristina's Color Challenge 55. When I first saw the colors, I have to say that I wasn't really sure what to do - it's definitely a new color scheme for me. Then after I did some blog browsing this morning, I was inspired by the card design from Mary Fish's Father's Day card on her blog today. I liked the look of the tiled squares, so I thought I'd give it a try. First, let me show you what the colors are for Kristina's challenge this week:


Here's the recipe:Thanks for coming by! Have a great day!
*Beautiful Butterflies Bigz die
*Razzle Dazzle and Oval all stamp sets
*Dusty Durango and Crushed Curry textured cardstock and markers; Very Vanilla and Basic Gray cardstock
*Basic Gray taffeta ribbon and corduroy brads; very vanilla brad
*1 1/4" square, scallop oval and large oval punches
