MY BABY IS EIGHT YEARS OLD!!

It’s been a busy week – between the last of the kid’s holiday programme’s (that was great!), and $3 cards this past weekend, and a few workshops it’s been busy! 

Then my “baby” Parker turned 8 (while missing both his front teeth!).  That’s kind of scary as I was very, very pregnant with Parker when I first signed up with Stampin Up in the US, so that means that I’ve been doing this demo thing for 8 years, man do I feel old now …

Anyway, this is the card that I made for Parker.  I love the way that the numbers in the Play Date paper lend themselves to doing this sort of highlighting!

I used our new gold “Smooch Spritz” on the scallop circle, but you can’t really see it here.  I will try and sneak into Parker’s room tomorrow and “borrow” the card back and take a close up photo that will show something of how yummy and metallic the Spritz is – I was really very excited about it!

An of course, who couldn’t love the new Bunch Punch owl stamp?  He’s so cute …

Well I had better be off to bed, but I’ll catch you again soon …

AHHHHH, BLISS!

As soon as I saw the Sale-a-bration mini catalogue I knew I HAD to have the Bliss set.  It’s just beautiful!!  The card below is actually much prettier in real life, and the sparkling rhinestones just give it that little extra “bling” that any card needs …

 

This is one of the cards that we will be doing at $3 cards tomorrow using the Bliss SAB set.  Come on over and join us (anytime between 1-6pm or on Monday evening between 6:30 – 9:30pm).  I’ve got 5 cards designed for you to create, just bring your smile and adhesive (and little craft scissors if you have them) and everything else is provided for you.

Hope to see you tomorrow or Monday …
