Last week I mentioned that Stampin Up redesigned their ink pads for the new In Colors this year.This is what the new ink pads look like. You can see that the base and the top are now separate pieces. The pads now have magnets in them that hold the top and bottom together. The new ink pad style is only available for the five new In Colors this year. Nothing official has been announced, but I suspect they will release the new pad style in more … [Read more...] about New Ink Pad Design

You’re Sweet
I'm back today with more of the Homemade Sweetness Suite. It's Spring which means it's strawberry season. I love a good strawberry. I think my favorite is chocolate covered strawberries.
