I'm going to Disneyland!!!

Well, I wanted to get one more post in before I leave, because tomorrow, we're taking our girls to Disneyland!  If you've been following me for a while, this may not strike you as new news.... we actually took them 7 months ago!
But we love it.  There is no place that allows better family memories, in my opinion, than Disneyland.  
This time we are flying, which is different, because we usually take 3 days to drive down... so we will see how that will be!
Needless to say, I haven't had much time for stamping this week, but I did want to share with you a card my upline, Stacey Rose, made for Audrey's 4th birthday.  I just love how she used a window sheet.  Audrey loves it!

Isn't it so great? Her blog is www.srosecreative.com... check it out! She makes really spectacular projects... very detailed and fabulous.
Well, I'm off to pack!

patterned party swing card!

I love July, because that is the one time a year I splurge on new stamp sets! And splurge I did!
I got the new patterned party stamp set, as well as the happiest birthday wishes hostess set, and also up, up and away.
My monthly technique club is tonight, and I just HAD to use my new sets.
I wanted to do a swing card (or flip flop card), which I learned from splitcoaststampers.  Here's the link: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/swing_flip_flop_card/
to learn how to make it, and here's my card:

this is the front.  I used daffodil delight, calypso coral (I LOVE this new color!), rich razzleberry, lucky limeade and tempting turquoise.  The balloons have crystal effects on them, and the brad is one of the new in color polka dot brads!
And then it flips open to this:

So cute, right? The stamp set is patterned party, but the little presents on the inside is from the new hostess set "happy birthday wishes".
Love it!
And then I really wanted to use my new "up, up and away" set, so I actually cased a card right out of the new catalogue on page 5 (the catalogue is such a great way to also get ideas... you can change colors and ideas based on what products you have....)
Here's what i came up with:

Fun, fun, fun.  These colors are chocolate chip, rich razzleberry, tango tangerine, and pacific point.  Easy peasy, too.... I used one of the little trio punches, and then the ribbon punch, which is so great when you don't actually have any ribbon to match! I have a feeling I am going to be using this set over and over....

Don't Worry, Be Happy...

We had so much fun last night at my open house!  It was a great get together... and we all drooled over the newest catalogue... so fun!  Did you want to come but missed it? Don't worry, be happy!

Saying Goodbye to say Hello

It's that event again.  You know, where you can't sleep, and you're making lists, and you've got a perma grin on your face.  NEW CATALOGUE TIME! Oh, is that just me? I hope not!  I love the new catalogue... they constantly outdo themselves... there are a few stamp sets that I can't wait to get my hands on! Like up, up and away and button buddies...
anyway, here's a picture of everything I'm going to sell off tonight...

I hope you can make it! Stamp sets start at $10 and go to $30, and there are some paper packs and stamp pads of retired colors... and here's a sneak peak of the card you're going to make!

aren't those new in colors delicious?!
