So…are you enjoying the new catalog? This is always such a fun time of year as everyone gets NEW stuff and those creative juices start to really flow.
One thing that is always fun about the new catalog is seeing the new incolors. I love that now we have the new incolors for 2 years at a time instead of just 1. Sometimes it takes me awhile to ‘warm up’ to colors and when we only had them a year, by the time I was finally liking them, they were gone. For me it seems like every other year I REALLY like the incolors. Should I mention that I LOVE last year’s incolors? This is going to be one of those years that it takes me a while to warm up to them. This is for the Fab Friday 114.
One thing I like to do when I get the new incolors is to make a card for my stamping group using all the colors on one card. Sometimes this is easy (aka LAST YEAR) and sometimes this is REALLY DIFFICULT (aka THIS YEAR!). But I did manage to do it and and here’s the card I came up with. Overall not too bad.
Here’s the details…
- Whisper White – 4 1/4 x 11 folded
- Whisper White – 3 3/4 x 5, stamp ‘flower’ in Powder Pink, FRIEND in Lemon Lime Twist and FOR A GREAT in Fresh Fig, add to card front using dimensionals
- Whisper White – stamp ‘flower’ in Berry Burst and two ‘leaves’ in Tranquil Tide, cut out flower using Layering Circle framelit and cut out leaves by hand, layer and add to card front using dimensionals
- Add some Basic Rhinestones to finish off.

Can you believe it…it’s another Thursday so time for some more inspiration from Create with Connie and Mary.
Although we are not having a May Create with Connie and Mary Mini Edition we still are offering a special PREORDER BONUS when you sign up for June and July Mini Sessions over on 
WOW…I can’t believe it. My craft room is actually set up enough that I saw challenge and was able to just sit down and do it! I knew where everything was in my new craft room that I wanted to use. AMAZING!! If felt good to just sit down and stamp and CAS is the way to go! The CAS challenge on SCS was to use fish and I immediately thought of the little fish in the jar set. SOO cute!
Okay…I have a little secret to share. With us packing up our house and moving, I had to do a bunch of stamping to make sure that I had things to post on my blog while all my ‘stuff’ was still packed away in boxes. So I stamped and I stamped and I stamped and I stamped. Then I stamped some more!
What an EASY theme we have for the SUO Challenge this time. Our theme is feminine and there is just sooooo many different ways you can go with this!
One set that I just HAD to have when the last new catalog came out was the Weather Together set. I just LOVE the umbrella in this!
I like a couple things…I like bright happy rainbow colors and I like stamping images in colors that are not always the ‘natural’ color for that image.
