Sneak Peak............ New In Colours 2009-2010

July 1st will mark the beginning of a new season for Stampin' Up with the release of the Idea Book and Catalogue for 2009-2010. Let me tell you I've received my copy and I just can't wait to share it with you. This catty is filled to capacity with exciting projects and informational tips, and in my opinion this is the best catalogue yet!

So although I'm sad to see the old In Colours go into retirement I can tell you that the six replacement In Colours are absolutely awesome and I know you're going to love them too! With yummy names like Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Rich Razzelberry, Bermuda Bay, Soft Suede and Dusty Durango it looks like another fun season is about to begin! Here's a sneak peak ...... enjoy!

Stay tuned for some neat cards and projects using these new colours and a sneak peak at the awesome ribbon that will be available soon. If you're interested in hosting a workshop/party in your home or mine to view the new catty and products just give me a call at 778-880-1206.

Card Swap Colourful Impressions Meeting June 8th

This post has been hanging around for awhile since my mom's accident as I haven't had much time to spend on it. I thought I'd share some samples of the card I made for the June 8th Colourful Impressions Meeting Swap. It was tough trying to come up with a swap for this meeting as I had limited supplies on hand. I decided I wanted a colourful, friendly card and chose the "Friendly Words and Oval All stamp sets as they seemed to fit the bill. Here are the details and samples:

Stamps: Friendly Words Jumbo Roller (Item No. 114696), Oval All (Item No. 113790)
Inks: Regal Rose, Kiwi Kiss
Cardstock: Regal Rose, Kiwi Kiss, Red Riding Hood and Raspberry Tart DSP
Tools: Eyelet Border Punch
Accessories: Regal Rose 5/8" grosgrain ribbon, Dimensionals


And the finished card


Hope you enjoyed this.

Dem Bones........

On Tuesday my 87 year old mother, Marjorie, fell off a step ladder and broke her hip. She was taken to her local hospital and has undergone hip surgery. When I received the phone call from her building security I was so distressed, thinking "on no this will be the end of her". The staff at the hospital and her surgeon have been just fantastic and are treating her so well. Marjorie is a real fighter and said this fall wasn't going to be a set back for her, and she's going to get back on her feet again. Well today it happened. She had her first physio session this morning and actually stood and walked about 12 feet with the assistance of a walker. Isn't that just too fantastic? I phoned my family this evening to let them know what progress she's made and everyone was amazed. Thanks Heather for the fantastic flowers they helped to brighten mom's day and I'm sure gave her the incentive to get up off the bed. Thanks everyone for your prayers, as I believe these helped too! Will keep you posted as to mom's progress.
