I love that SU has categorized all of our sets and DSPs as Suites. They have the best Artists and I keep wondering how everything they showcase is a WINNER! This new catalog is loaded with beautiful suites.
So much you can do with this set and it even has the little matching sizzlet die (not used here). I masked this little guy to fit in with the waves.
This is way too AWESOME!
This is going to be so much fun. SU has reserved the The Wizarding World of Harry Potter exclusive just for us on Thursday evening. That is one of the perks of being a demonstrator, we get to go on all the rides & attractions without all the wait, etc. OMG how special is that?
If you thought about being a demonstrator and doing what I love to do, just click on the Join the Fun tab HERE!
Will post my Leadership swaps in the next couple of days.
I have used the new Doily tape found on pg 3 of the Spring catalog. It is so cool, it has adhesive on it and you just cut what size you need. Simple as that. The other doilies on this card are found on pg 5 and what a bargain they are @24 for $2.95. I also used some items from the Artisan Embellishments kit on pg 10. That has to be my favorite so far!
This “From my Heart” stamp set is so awesome! AND I love the new ribon in the Spring catalog on page 13.
These two cards are made with a stamp set from SAB and the second one also has some ribbon from available during SAB. Couldn’t resist throwing these in early.
This single Happy Heart stamp is available for $5.95 and includes 1″x8″ cellophane bags to hold neat little treats for that special Valentine. Watch for upcoming tutorial.
I dyed these little flowers with Primrose Petals ink refill and rubbing alcohol. You can purchase thes new little roses in the Spring catalog pg 5.
You can start ordering all these beautiful embellishments and stamps from this catalog today.
This embossing folder you can get free when SAB starts…

Although I do have many favorites from this new catty. I used Crystal Effects on the umbrella to give it that wet look.
This card was made with items from it!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
HOPE YOUR CHRISTMAS IS ONE TO REMEMBER.
We will go to Mass this evening as we do every year and then come home to an incredible traditional feast that I have been enjoying since I was a child. A typical Italian Christmas Eve ‘meatless’ dinner with buccala (cod fish cakes), aleche’ (Spaghetti with Anchovies), Luna Pizza (no red sauce) with fresh mozzarella & Fontina cheeses.
Of course, this has been scaled down from years past, when we also had smelt, snails and Octopus. In fact, I remember one year when I was little, at my Grandpa’s house, live snails that had gotten loose and were crawling up the cellar wall, which my Grandpa had to gather up for preparation of Christmas Eve dinner in a hurry. Grandpa & Grandma were both from Italy. He was from Naples and my Grandma was from a little town outside of Naples called Availlino. They brought this Italian tradition with them to America.
I always have such fond memories of growing up in an Italian environment, neither could speak a word of English, which was okay then because while we lived with them we spoke both Italian and English. The shame of it is, when my Mom and Dad both their own home and we moved out, I forgot almost all of my Italian. The saying “if you don’t use it, you loose it”, is so true.
I am going to be sorry to see the festival of Prints disappear, I love working with them.

Cracked me up!
Still at Amy’s. Hit the Archivers store this morning and did some serious shopping at Macy’s. Trying to post some samples that I had on my hard drive.
I did not realize that this quote was from the singer JT. I guess I never heard the song. My daughter Amy, who loves JT told me that’s the reason she bought this set. I sure do love every stamp in this entire set.

These are actually cards I made last year and I was so glad that SU decided to carry over Polar Party this year. The cards below are 3X3 gift cards. So easy to make with this set.
I embossed this card in gold and really liked the way it turned out.
I think you are going to be surprised when the new occassions mini comes out in January. A lot of Cross stitch type stamps, etc. I love how this square lattice embossing folder looks so much like cross stitch fabric.
