A little birdie told me ... Time is running out!

I have a cute little birdie card for you today that I've not had a chance to share with you ... and some important reminders.  Time is running out. 
First, the reminders ---
August is nearly over and, with it, several opportunities that will end.
- Our Color Your Season promotion will end August 31.
- Our Bonus Days promotion will end August 31.
          (Spend $50. / Earn $5. coupon for Sept.)
- My offer of earning 2 free class (Stampin' Blends and Brusho) will end August 31.
- My offer of a free gift + a free Color Coach (with $35.+ orders) will end August 31.

If you're interested in these promotions, I'd suggest you hurry so you won't miss out.  A little birdie told me so ... and here he is ...

My card base is from our last S-A-B catalog and the stamps are retired from our last Occasions Catalog.  I still like to break out some old favorites from time to time.  Many customers have actually requested that I use some of the retired products to give them ideas.  Good idea!

Up close, you can see that I got a little too close to the edges on the bird and birdhouse and it just barely bled a bit.  I didn't even know it at the time because I needed new glasses and didn't realize it until my recent appointment.  I can see the page numbers in the catalog index now!  My eyes had changed so much from my last checkup and I didn't even realize it.  Love the new purple frames, too.  I still love my green ones and hope to get them updated soon.  It's nice to have a backup pair.
I left the coloring the way it was because I wanted you to see how you need to be careful about getting right up to the edges of your image.  If it bleeds over, just take the color lifter and push the color back into the image.  It's kind of like magic:)

That's it for today, my friends.  I'm super busy getting ready for my Summer Open House party (August 26).  I have lots more to do and will be hard at it for the next 3 days.  If you're in the area, I hope you can come.
