Tropical Chic
One of my favorite new products from the new Annual Catalog is the Tropical Escape Suite. The stamps, the dies, and the paper are amazing. I love our 6x6" paper stacks. The patterns are perfectly sized for cards. Today's card uses up some leftover pieces that I had from another project.

It’s a Beautiful Day
Even though I work full time, I still enjoy the long lazy days of summer. Not having to follow-up on homework and tests and projects takes so much stress of my shoulders. Sure, we still have summer camps and soccer and summer reading, but it's still a relief to have a break from the daily grind. It's like a breath of fresh air. Speaking of fresh... the recent Color Revamp that Stampin Up did is amazing. All those fabulous new color … [Read more...] about It’s a Beautiful Day
