DON'T MISS OUT!

OMGoodness! I have so much to share with you now that I've gotten used to my new Windows 7 PC and I'm finally feeling alive again after 2 1/2 weeks sick with a bad head cold.

Stampin' Up! is running their best ever promotion for new recruits. How about a FREE Big Shot! Or if you already have one, how about $100 in FREE Stampin' Up! products! Click on the photo below for more details. To join my team, contact me today! Or sign up at my website directly by clicking here and entering the code "stamps896" where requested.

 

ANOTHER OCTOBER SPECIAL OFFER FROM STAMPIN' UP!

Order any 2 Simply Sent kits from pages 192 and 193 in the Stampin' Up! 2011-12 Idea book and Catalog during October and get a free stamp set of your choice from the same 2 pages.

I have 2 kits on order and can hardly wait to make some cards. (Shh, don't tell her, but I'm going to make a gift set using these kits for our real estate agent who has been working really hard to get our short sale approved by the bank.) I've seen some really great samples shared by my fellow demonstrators where they have really gussied them up with trims and DSP. Below is a sample by Mary Fish, a fellow demonstrator, who's blog I really enjoy following. Hoping she doesn't mind me sharing this great card since I've linked the picture to her blog post. My kits are due here anytime. I'll share my samples ASAP.

AND FINALLY FOR THE COOKIE BAKER!

Stampin' Up! has just released "Sweet Pressed", the cutest cookie stamps. These can be used on ready to bake dough or freshly made dough. Click on the picture of more details. I'm thinking these might work great for handmade paper pulp to make darling ornaments or card/package embellishments (since I'm gluten free and I can't stand the temptation of having shortbread or sugar cookies in the house). Hmm, I'll get back to you on that.

OK, that's it for now. As always feel free to email me at boxer3086@sbcglobal.net if you have questions or you'd like to place an order through me/join my team and perfer personal contact instead of going directly through my website 24/7.

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!

Below is the list of catalogs. Please be patient as they open. Some of the files are quite large. But they are oh so worth the wait.

RETIRED STAMPIN' UP! ACCESSORIES AT 50% OFF

For the past week and a half or so, I have been consolidating and organizing ALL of my retired Stampin' Up! products. I have all of my stamp sets listed by the catalog that they were last available. You can find those lists at this link. I have also listed most of my retired accessories. That list is on the same page referenced above. However, I decided to copy and paste that list into this post. Hope it works for your ISP. Of course, if you download the list to your computer, you can save, enlarge and edit it and make your very own wish list from it. The accessories list, which includes everything other than stamps is at this link.

All you need to do is email me with your hearts desire from my lists and I'll send you a price quote. Please include your zip code so I can get a shipping quote from USPS or UPS depending on the order size.

Oh! Some items are not yet priced. I need to confirm the retail prices and availability.

As always are welcome.

Thanks for stopping by, Michelle

RETIRED STAMPIN' UP! ACCESSORIES AT 50% OFF

For the past week and a half or so, I have been consolidating and organizing ALL of my retired Stampin' Up! products. I have all of my stamp sets listed by the catalog that they were last available. You can find those lists at this link. I have also listed most of my retired accessories. That list is on the same page referenced above. However, I decided to copy and paste that list into this post. Hope it works for your ISP. Of course, if you download the list to your computer, you can save, enlarge and edit it and make your very own wish list from it. The accessories list, which includes everything other than stamps is at this link.

All you need to do is email me with your hearts desire from my lists and I'll send you a price quote. Please include your zip code so I can get a shipping quote from USPS or UPS depending on the order size.

Oh! Some items are not yet priced. I need to confirm the retail prices and availability.

As always are welcome.

Thanks for stopping by, Michelle

RETIRED STAMPIN' UP! PRODUCTS FOR SALE

I've just spent th afternoon updating my inventory lists for a lot of my retired products. Please visit this page for the links to those lists.

I'll be adding more as I go - this week's project. I will also add a blog page with the retired catalogs that I can - those which I have saved on a thumb drive. That way you can look up items. Also, if you download and save the lists with the page numbers, you can resort them so you can flip through the catalogs in order. Otherwise, just check the catalog index for the item title.

Questions welcome! Email me at boxer3086@sbcglobal.net

Thanks for stopping by, Michelle

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS!

  
Besides "Raindrops on Roses", I really enjoy the Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers. In fact, I'd even say I'm in love with them. The wonderful patterns are exclusive to Stampin' Up! and the quality is superior to any other patterned paper I've used (and I've used a lot).

If you also love the Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers, you need to take advantage of the current special. I sure am going to.

Dates: August 1-31, 2011
Promotion Details: During August, you will get a FREE package of Designer Series Paper when they buy three! This is a very limited-time offer so I suggest that you stock up on all your favorites, including brand-new designs from the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog and the Summer mini catalog. You may order multipes of any pattern or they may be all different patterns.

To order, simply email me with your wish list and I'll reply with your total . . . OR . . . you may place your order directly on my website. While there, you can take advantage of the clearance rack and the grab bags available only through my website.

Questions? Please contact me anytime.

Thanks for stopping by, Michelle 

 

STAMPIN' UP FOR A LOT LESS CASH

Since you are reading this, I'm assuming you are a fan of Stampin' Up! products. And if you're like me and have a budget to work within, but you'd really like to order more of the awesome Stampin' Up! products, this is the best time to do so.

Right now through July 2011, you can get the Stampin' Up! demonstrator kit for a steal! For only $99 you'll get over $185 in products and business supplies--including new products from the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog!

IT'S TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

OMGosh! It's the 15th of June and I'm just now announcing the Stampin' Up! retiring lists! I guess having the house for sale has been a bigger distraction than I realized. The days are going by so quickly with so much extra work keeping the house and yards ready for someone to view the place at a moments notice. Oh well, it is a "buyer's market".

So without further delay . . . Please see the below lists, aka "Last-Chance", published by Stampin' Up! of the retiring products which will be available only through June 2011. Check your wish list against these lists and order while supplies last. Many of the retiring accessories are selling out quickly since they have been discounted.

First, I've inserted the flyer, which can be sort of hard to read even hen enlarged to full size, so . . . Next I've inserted links for the documented lists that you can enlarge as needed. These will help you go through your hard copy catalogs to see what's going "bye-bye".

 
Last Chance for: Retiring ACCESSORIES Pdf, many items discounted, while supplies last.

Last Chance for: Retiring STAMP SETS Excel worksheet, resort data as desired.

Last Chance for: Retiring DEFINITELY DECORATIVE Pdf sorted by catalog page.

Always remember, you're welcome to contact me if you have questions before ordering on my website. (Hint: I have a fairly substancial number of items on the lists, which I will be selling at a discount beginning July 1st. Reserve your items now.)

Oh! And I'm very excited about the new 2011-12 Stampin' Up! Idea Book/Catalog. I got my supply order and am offering a copy for $10, refundable when you host a party, in your home or my home, or bring me a book party.

I'm planning to post some new samples ASAP. Got my pre-order of new items a couple days ago. Just gotta wait for after Friday's AM house showing before I can mess up my office again.

That's all for now! Contact me anytime, Michelle

The Summer 2011 mini-catalog is no exception. It is beautiful! I've recently received some Summer mini goodies and now that I've completed some crucial non-SU! related projects, I am anxious to play with my new Summer mini-catalog toys.
 
And, since next month is my birthday month, I'll get to order even more goodies from the Summer mini (and the IBC 2011-12 sneak peek) at an extra discount. It's one of the many awesome perks I get as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator. It's no wonder I've been a demo for SU! since 1996!

LOVE THE STAMPIN' UP! TRINKETS

Added March 31st: 

Since originally publishing this post, I resigned from Jewel Kade only 7 weeks after joining their stylist team. I received too many charms that were not the quality I was expecting. Guess I'm too much of a perfectionist since I make my own jewelry. After much debate with myself, I decided that being a Jewel Kade stylist is not for me, so I reluctantly returned everything I was allowed to return, even the bracelet I loved. (Feel free to contact me if you'd like more info.)

 

As soon as I get the Stampin' Up! stainless steel bracelet I ordered yesterday, I will be very happy to share with you how it looks with the Stampin' Up! Trinkets - crowns and keys - as well as a few other charms I've received as gifts from my husband. The SU! stainless steel bracelet ought to still make that fun jingling sound my other bracelet made and it will look great with all of my watches.

____________________________________________________________________

 

Original post Feb 9, 2011

 

OK, I admit it. I must be related to E Scrooge. Love the idea of the Stampin' Up! trinkets in the 2011 Occasions mini-catalog, but I'm too cheap to use them on a paper craft project. I ordered them anyway and was thrilled to see they were fashion jewelry quality (IE not fine jewelry quality, but wearable).

 

I don't have the SU! bracelet, but I do have the Jewel Kade bracelet (since I also rep their line now). I added my SU! trinkets to my JK bracelet and the below pictures are how it looks. Love it! Makes a great jingling sound when I wear it and it goes great with a lot of my watches. Cool!

 

Since charm bracelets usually have some significance attached to the charms I decided this for mine: The 3 crowns symbolize The Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Ghost). The 4 keys stand for the keys of a successful life - Love, Joy, Peace and Power in the Holy Ghost. The meaning of the cross is obvious. I'll add the smallest Simply Adorned charm when I can decide what to put in it. The Eiffel Tower and Fleur De Lis from JK symbolize my French ancestry. The heart and flip flop are from my beloved. Now I just need a Celtic knot to symbolize my Scottish ancestry. I also want to add the birthstone colored crystals for each of the most significant people in my life - husband, Mom, siblings, etc.

Most of the pictures in my online albums have been watermarked to identify the creator. The first sample below was made by my upline, Sandy Hancock, and the other sample below was made by another of Sandy's downline demonstrators, Patty Bennett. Both ladies are very talented. I used their samples here because I'm pretty sure they would not mind.

                              LOTS OF SAMPLES TO SHARE

Sadly, I have been too distracted this years so far, between preparing our home for the real estate market and with Jewel Kade - which I resigned from*, to make samples using any of the SAB or Occasions mini-catalog products. So I have uploaded to my Shutterfly account quite a lot of jpg samples created by various Stampin' Up! demonstrators from all over. (I have lots more for the Occ mini, but I need to reformat them from bmp to jpg for Shutterfly.) Just click on the picture on these pages. No need to join Shutterfly.  

Click here for samples using products from the Occasions mini-catalog.

Click here for samples using products from the SAB mini-catalogs.

*Why did I resign from Jewel Kade already, less than 2 months after signing up? Upon close inspection, I found that the product was not what I was expecting. Therefore, I decided that being a "stylist" for Jewel Kade was not for me.

MY DIGITAL STUDIO USED FOR MY OTHER BUSINESS

I love using the Stampin' Up! "My Didital Studio" (MDS) program and just created a flier for my other business. Last week I added Jewel Kade to my line of fashion accessories products, "It's In the Bag" and wanted feature a specific item for Valentine's day. I posted my flier to my Facebook wall and to my Facebook Fan page. I got a lot of great response from my FB friends and fans as well as my fellow Stampin' Up demonstrators and Jewel Kade stylists. Below is the flier I created. Pretty huh?

 

If you're interested in the MDS program, but want more info first, click here for a Word doc  about the MDS Features and Benefits.

CLEAR MOUNT STAMPS NOT STICKING?

We've had some discussion going on in my Stampin' Up! upline's Yahoo group about the clear mount stamps not sticking to the clear blocks. There were lots of great suggestions as to how to remedy that little annoyance. Below is what I compiled this AM. You can click here to print the Word doc of what I compiled.

Remember, the clear-mount stamps from Stampin' Up! are made of the same high quality rubber as their wood-mount stamps. They have been adapted for clear block mounting with self-clinging labels. The clear-mount stamp sets are more economical since you don't have to pay for new blocks with every set. I love this! They are also a major space saver. Don't know about you, but my crafting space is quite limited.

Check out all of the Stampin' Up! stamp sets and their entire awesome line of paper crafting products by clicking here.

 

How to Make Clear Mount Stamps Stick to Blocks: Suggestions from “Udderly Awesome” Demos

"Make sure that the block is very clean, with no finger oils or anything on it. If it still won't stick you can try one of these 2 suggestions: 1) Put a tiny dab of water on the sticker side of the stamp and then press the block onto it with good pressure. Or 2) Put a few little dots of Tombow glue on the stamp and let it sit overnight - Stampin' Up said that it will come off when you are through."

"If the block and/or clear part of the stamp (with the pic on it) is cold or chilled, it will not stick to the clear block. You have to warm it up a bit with your hands.  I have had to do this several times and it has always worked."

"I wipe my clear block with a damp cloth and then put the stamp on and it stays.  Works like a suction."

"I have also just put a little tiny bit of DOTTO onto the block if the stamp is not sticking and the stamp stays on really well."

"The one thing I do when mounting a clear mount stamp to the block is:  Rub the BLOCK on my pant leg or shirt sleeve back and forth about 10 times really rapidly ... that takes off any dust, oils, whatever and it tends to heat it up just a tiny bit … then with the rubber piece on my table, STICKER SIDE UP, just place the block down onto the rubber stamp and press for at least the count of 5 or 10. It takes a few seconds to really press them together good. I have never had a stamp fall off the clear block or had any trouble when doing the above."

"One thing I've been doing with the sticker is to trim the sticker as close as possible to the design and then put it on the rubber piece. Very often this gives you a little border around the image so that you have that added cling effect of no sticker around the edge, but you still have the image."

"I have decided to leave the labels off. It just doesn't stick as well with the label since it's no longer a "rubbery" surface."

Have a great week, Michelle

OCCASIONS MINI-CATALOG 2011 NOW LIVE!

OMGoodness, the new Stampin' Up! 2011 Occasions mini-catalog is so awesome! I have sticky tags on nearly every page. I'm so in love that I pre-ordered bunches from it. As soon as Sale-a-bration starts I'll order the rest of my wish list. (Sorry, can't post the SAB mini yet. SU! rules.)

If you are on my mailing list you should have gotten your copy of the new mini-catalog by now. If you haven't gotten a copy, click on the photo or the icon on my left sidebar and you can download it for free.

 
 
I also purchased a table top photography lighting box so I can share my projects with you in a more professional manner. I originally wanted it for shooting my jewelry, since it's more tricky to get a good shot of shiny objects, but I'm sure it will help with shooting my paper crafting projects too. The kit is due here on Thursday! Yea!

That's it for today. Gotta go get some fun things made for sharing. Enjoy browsing through the 2011 Occasions mini-catalog and feel free to contact me when you're ready to order from it or any other current Stampin' Up! catalog. Or click here to order directly through my Stampin' Up! website. It's super easy and user friendly.

HAPPY NEW YEAR FRIENDS!  Michelle

MORE MDS FUN

I am having so much fun with My Digital Studio, MDS and I am so glad I bought it. It's so much faster than real paper crafting. Plus you can be more generous with the embellishments - brads, ribbons, etc. - since they new run out! And you can print your creations on your own color printer.

Below is the card I just created in MDS. I wasn't yet ready to face the mess in the kitchen or in my office/studio this AM, so I made this card instead of searching out my old favorite puzzle site. Every element I used in this card came with the program. And it doesn't have to be just a sympathy card. It can be made into a birthday card or any other sentiment that fits the top layer. Of course, the top layers can be re-sized to fit whatever sentiment you like.

One of the main reasons I ordered this program was to pre-design things before making it with real cardstock, Designer Series Papers (DSP) or accessories, so I don't waste materials trying things that don't look good together. And I can pre-view new products with the downloads before I order the real DSP, etc.

To order this awesome program, please click here.

That's all for now. Have a great week everyone and thanks for visiting, Michelle

 

NEW OBSESSION

I used to play computer card games and jigsaw puzzles. It gave me a sense of accomplishment when I'd win, but it was false accomplishment and it was addicting. So I completely removed all games and puzzles from my PC, 'cuz I was wasting way too much time. Like a drunk having to have just one more, I kept playing just one more round for hours. Ugh! What a waste!

I'm excited that I have a new obsession that is truly productive. My new obsession is "My Digital Studio", aka MDS . OMGosh! It's so much fun. You've already seen my first practice project using a template included with the program. Click here for that post. With the help of Stampin' Up! demonstrator friends with lots of experience in MDS, I was able to make my first card totally from scratch. I already have lots of experience with editing pictures using Adobe Photoshop, so I was able to figure out most things by a little trial and error.

The background paper in the card below is from the 2010-2011 Occasions mini-catalog, not yet released. (If you've ordered from me recently and you're on my mailing list, you'll have your Occasions mini-catalog hard copy soon.) I placed my pre-order of products from the new mini yesterday and can hardly wait to play with it. Love the smell of new Designer Series Papers, DSP.

 

OK, that's all for now. Have a great week, y'all, Michelle

SOME QUICK PRACTICING WITH MDS

Today I uploaded my new "My Digital Studio" program from Stampin' Up! and spent a little time playing around with a pre-made card design. The program seems pretty user friendly, especially if you done anything with any other photo or graphic manipulating/editing program.

RIGHT CLICK ON PHOTOS FOR ENLARGED VIEW.

First I found a holiday card template I liked that came with the program. Added dotted border to show card edges.

Then I moved the elements around some and added brads all over. I also made the main card background the same color as the narrow Certainly Celery strip on the right and added a couple mats under the sentiment stamp image.

 

Lastly, I went back and added drop shadows to all of the elements to make each look more 3 dimensional. It's especially noticeable on the sentiment mat.

 

That's all the playing around I have time for today. I am very excited about the possibilities this new program opens up to me.

More sharing later . . .

LAST 2 DAY AT 30% TO 50% OFF

Today and tomorrow are the last 2 days to take advantage of the "Spectacular" Sale on quite a long list of great Stampin' Up! products. Please see my previous post for that long list.

One thing I just had to order is "My Digital Studio", aka "MDS". I can hardly wait to get it. In preparation, I am watching the overview webinar on the demonstrator's website. I have also made a Word doc of the FAQ's for MDS which I have attached here 'cuz I thought you might also be interested, especially since MDS is 50% off right now.

FYI, MDS is compatible with quite a lot of other commonly used programs. For more information, please visit this link on the Stampin' Up! customer site. The "Features and Benefits" page will probably be of most interest to you. It gives a good overview of what you can expect from the product.

This picture on the MDS main page was created using the MDS program. Yes, it comes with accessories as well as stamp images and the Stampin' Up! exclusive designer papers and so much more.

I'll be sure to post my projects as I get a little practice done with the program.

That's it for now. Hope you're having a blessed holiday season so far!

Finally Having Some Fun!

OMGosh! As you know, I've been super busy with so many other things that have kept me from my papercrafting - jewelry making for my other business, pruning the roses, trimming the trees, dealing with a dog that can't seem to keep away from the bees and spiders (costing us $100's at the vet), and so much more.

But the new Stampin' Up! 2010-11 Catalog/Idea Book has really caught the attention of my local customers, as I expected it would. It's awesome!I have a party scheduled for Monday 7/26 so I'll be making some new samples for that. As soon as it's over, I'll be sharing with you. (Don't want to spoil the surprise for my hostess.) I'll be using the Big Shot, the new clear mount stamps, lot of new stamp sets, the smoosh spritzers and more.

Gotta get back to it! Check back late next Monday or Tuesday to see what I chose to wow my hostess  and her party guests with.

Have a great weekend,

RETIRING STAMPIN' UP! STAMP SETS, ETC.

Stampin' Up! recently announced the 2010 lists of retiring stamp sets, accessories (cardstock, ink, trims, etc.) and Definitely Decorative items. Most of the retiring accessories are in the colors being retired as part of the color renovation announced in my April 7th post. As usual, there also needs to be room made for all of the new products coming in the new annual Idea Book & Catalog, 2010-2011, being released on July 1st. Below are the click-able and print-able last chance lists. Please be patient. These large files may take a little while to open.

All of the Definitely Decorative products are discounted and some of the accessories are too! First come, first served. While supplies last.

Check your wish list against these last chance lists so you don't miss out. You may also want to stock up on your favorite accessories that are not retiring because there will be a price increase (due to increased cost from the suppliers Stampin' Up! uses) on July 1, 2010.

Ready to order? Simply email me your heart's desire or you may go directly to my Stampin' Up! website, click on SHOP NOW and order anytime 24/7.

Summer Mini-Catalog is Sweet!

In case you haven't seen it all over the internet yet, thought I'd let you know that I have added the 2010 Summer mini-catalog to my sidebar. You may download the full pdf from my sidebar or you may go to the Stampin' Up! customer website and open/save any of the current catalogs at this link. Please keep in mind, the bigger the catalog, the longer it will take to open.

Yes, the Summer mini-catalog is so very sweet. I am in love with so much from it. If I bought all I want, I'd be my very best customer. If you'd like to get an overview of the mini-catalog before downloading it, Stampin' Up! has posted a video at their YouTube site here.

To order from the summer mini-catalog, or any current Stampin' Up! catalog, please feel free to contact me anytime or shop directly at my Stampin' Up! website.

I'm happy to be of service. Blessings!  

Exciting Color Renovation from Stampin' Up!

Just announced: color renovation is coming to Stampin' Up!  To keep current with color trends, and after extensive research, Stampin' Up! has developed an updated color palette consisting of 4 core collections. All of the current color "families" are changing, with 30 colors retiring at the end of June 2010. Then, in July 2010, several new colors are being introduced that will become part of the new and exciting color collections. Some of the current "In Colors", as well as some former favorite "In Colors", will become part of these 4 core color collections. Plus there will be new "In Colors". Starting with the 2010-2011 Idea Book/Catalog, the new "In Colors" will be available for two years. Yea! More time to enjoy using the trend colors.

 

Before you check out the below charts of what's retiring, what's coming back and what's being added, take heart! If some of your favorite colors are retiring, you still have time to stock up on cardstock, ink pads and reinkers, markers as well as ribbon and other accessories in these colors. So be sure to check your stash and make your shopping list soon. Other Stampin' Up! enthusiasts will also be stocking up and you don't want to miss out. Click here to print a wish list form.

 

OK, here's the charts. And to place your order, feel free to contact me or, to place your order directly, click here for my demonstrator website.

CLEAR MOUNT STAMPS BY STAMPIN' UP!

Whether or not you've gotten your SAB or Occasions mini-catalog, you've probably heard about this new product from Stampin' Up! They are not clear stamps, but they are the same high quality rubber and foam made for mounting to clear stamping blocks. The stamp images are detail die-cut and have labels so you can see the image through the block. The blocks are also high quality with smooth edges and fingers grooves.

I just placed my order yesterday for my new clear mount stamps and I can hardly wait to start playing with my new goodies. I also ordered some new Designer Series Papers (DSP) and ribbons.

Another SU! demo blogger, who I subscribe to, posted a really great video introducing the new clear mount stamps and blocks. Since I don't have my new things yet, I can't so the same, but why reinvent the wheel. Click here to view that video on "Stampin' Pretty", by Mary Fish. And if you don't already subscribe to Mary's blog, I highly recommend it. Mary posts some of the best samples around.

Again, if you have not gotten your mini-catalogs, click on the below pictures so you can at least see what's new.

STAMPIN' UP! ON YOU TUBE!

OK, so you've probably noticed that I have been pretty inactive lately in posting to this blog. That's because I have been so busy with my other business, "It's in the Bag". I got involved in my other business by the prodding of my husband and it has become much more than I ever imagined. I'm having a lot of fun with it. Please check it out! You just might find a handbag or some handmade jewelry you just have to have. The handbags are designer inspired, yet they have KMart prices.  

I have not forgotten about my paper crafting. Far from it. In fact I really miss spending time creating and sharing. For now, I HAVE to share this awesome website with you. It's Stampin' Up!'s videos on YouTube. They currently have 9 videos, in addition to those you'll see on my Stampin' Up! website, and they are all terrific. The videos feature Shelli Garden, owner/CEO of Stampin' Up!, as well as some of the demonstrator trainers from Stampin' Up! corporate. Take a few minutes to visit Stampin' Up!'s videos on YouTube for some inspiration on your next paper crafting projects.

Occasions Mini-catalog Swap

I made a swap card last night for the 2009 Occasions mini-catalog. I chose to use the new "Sense of Time" stamp set but had now clue what colors to use. The set, in my opinion, doesn't lend itself to the bright cheery colors of Spring. (I am so happy it's Spring!) So I went to my notebook containing all sorts of magazine pictures as shown in this post. I decided to use the colors in this picture.  To me this color combo says rich old world design, which is what I think of when I see the images in the sense of time stamp set shown here.   Click on the picture of the set for the full view. (I can't show you the whole mini-catalog until April 1st, so watch for my post that day.

So want to see my swap card? I'm not sure it's finished, but it will have to do for the swap since it's due at the swap hostess's home in a couple days. Maybe I'll add some accessories to my copy after I finish working on my '08 taxes. (Eeeek!) Here is the card for this swap.   Click on the pictures for the enlarged view.  

Here's the recipe: Ink: Riding Hood Red, Basic Black, Sets: Sense of Time, Celebrate Everything, Card stock: Riding Hood Red, Basic Black, Naturals Ivory, Kraft, Misc: SNAIL, Dimensionals, Circle Cutter, Table top cutter, small and large oval and scalloped oval punches, Big Shot w/ Scallop Circle Die.

The scalloped oval punch is also new in the 2009 Occasions mini-catalog. I think it's something you'll love using.
