Hello, Utah!

I am in Utah safe and sound.  Jenn and I will go for a swim and head to bed so we can start our Convention experience bright and early tomorrow.  In the meantime, here are some of my latest projects.
The top photo shows my new catalog display.  All the projects were made to coordinate with the cover on the new catalog.

 Here's a close-up of the paper flowers.

I found this neat old 'container' at an antique store that sold antiques and other 'neat stuff' --- like this.  I embossed and then colored in the flowers with reinkers.

Here are all the cards we'll be making at my In Color class on July 19.  They include all the new In Colors.  There will also be a bonus project.  Contact me to sign up for this class which includes template sketches for all the cards.  The fee is just $16.  Pay to register by July 17,

New Catalog Party

I had my party Saturday and we had a great time,  No one was able to guess my favorite new stamp set or favorite new In Color,  If you're wondering, the stamp set is Button Buddies.  I had a difficult time choosing my favorite new In Color.  I started out with it being Lucky Limeade but, by the time I finished my Color Coach project with all the new In Colors, I loved them all.  I decided to stay with my first choice.

Here's our project we made at the party.  This was inspired by my demo friend Julie Davison.  It holds a packet of flower seeds and is made from an envelope!
My son and DIL came over and helped me with the food.  I got to hold my sweet Olive while they put the finishing touches on everything.  I am so grateful for their help.  Check out the goodies!

We're Waiting!

I'm anxious to show you my Color Coach projects for the new In Colors, but we're waiting for that brown truck to come back.  Toby Joe is always excited to get a delivery.  My order contains the ribbons and brads that go with the new In Colors and I want to use those on my projects.  It should get here sometime today.  Yay!  Then, I'll finish up my Color Coach project and head for Salt Lake City, Utah.  Keep checking back often for updates on what's happening at Convention.

It Feels Like Christmas!

It feels like Christmas around here! Yesterday, the Stampin' Up 2010-2011 Idea Book and Catalog went live and I got to place my first big order. It was so difficult to decide what to get because it is full of wonderful products and I really wanted them all!

Today, our new couch and chair arrived. After all our disasters, it is such a joy to look at the family room end of my studio and see it looking beautiful -- no more floods and no more damaged anything. We had an entirely new back-up system put in, along with a brand new (larger) sump pump. We should be all set if we lose power during a storm.

Now, I can get back to stamping and creating projects with all my new stamping toys. I am busy creating new displays in my studio to show off some of our new products, not to mention working toward my Island Oasis Party to introduce the new catalog. Please contact me if you'd like to get a catalog, join scrapbook club, host a workshop, or even sign up to be part of my team!
