Here’s another easy card with the new hostess set.  I forget how stunning metallic ink on black can be.  The circle stamp is from Big Pieces.

It’s time to catch up!  I have squeezed in some stamping time with my sets from the new catalog and will share those this week.  And I just received my supply order of Sale-A-Bration mini-catalogs.  I’m glad it starts in February this year, or I would never get caught up!

 Here’s another sample from the new hostess set.  With the heart stamp and Pomegranate paper, this can make a good Valentine’s Day card!

It’s been stormy weather in our area.  We safely retrieved Caitlin from college and made a quick 1 hour Christmas visit with all my family before the next storm hit!

Here’s another card with our new Level 3 hostess set.  I trimmed the Saffron layer of the flower and then punched out 1/16 inch circles to view the Real Red layer.  There is still time to join my stamp club for January through June.  My catalogs have shipped and I hope they arrive next week sometime!

Merry Christmas!

Some lucky demonstrators in Canada have received the Spring/Summer Collection and have been graciously sharing the deets with all of us on SCS.  It looks like this will be an amazing catalog!  There are lots of new sets and accessories with much more variety than the last catalog.  The hostess sets look especially great, so contact me soon to join my stamp club.  And to top it off, we also got a peak at the new Sale-a-bration catalog.  I can’t wait to have all of the free sets plus the new rub-ons.  SAB will run Feb 1-March 17 this year.  New demonstrators will get a free set of their choice from the big catalog!  Whew - after 10 years I still get excited about being a demonstrator!  All of us demonstrators received a free Level 3 hostess set (Time Well Spent) from the new catalog.  Here is my first creation with the new set.

I used  Pink Passion, YoYo Yellow, Certainly Celery CS and markers.  THe background is made with the stem stamp.

We had a foot of snow on the day of the craft fair, so business was not brisk, even though the air was.   Here are some last projects.  The tins were made with last year’s version of the Wintergreen dp, Satin Ribbon and the Big Pieces stamp set.  They contained a set of 8 cards, a pen and a mini composition book.  The wisks are filled with chocolates and the stamped tag says :we wisk you a merry Christmas (from the font CD).
