Tammy Brackney. Recently I sent a card sketch to my Springfield Stamp Club group. They were to use the sketch to create a card and bring it to the next club meeting. The winning card was created by Tammy using all Stampin'Up! products featuring Tall Tales designer paper.

Don't you just love how she highlighted the elephants by putting them in a scallop circle?

Can't wait until the next challenge to see what the club comes up with.

Stampin' Up!'s Color Renovation

We have just received some exciting news from Stampin' Up! It' a COLOR RENOVATION! Stampin' Up! is releasing some new and exciting colors. They will be in the July 2010 catalog. The new color collections are Brights, Neutrals, Regals and Subtles, they include 5 new colors (Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, Marina Mist and Cajun Craze along with 10 returning colors (Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, Pacific Point, River Rock, Soft Suede, Riding Hood Red, Wild Wasabi, Baja Breeze, Tangerine Tango and Pink Pirouette). I love the 5 new colors and the 10 returning colors have quite a number of my personal favorites. Topping that list is Riding Hood Red and Rich Razzleberry-I am thrilled to see them staying.

Of course with this Renovation there is always the sad parting with some favorites as well. There are 30 colors that will be retiring the end of June, 2010. So be sure you check the list before they retire and stock up on your favorites.

Please see the color charts below. I am sure you will find a few new favorites you won't be able to live without.

Congratulations Card

Recently at work there was a need for a card for a co-worker who was leaving for a new job. I made this card for her. The flowers were created using the Sizzix Flower Layers Die (Stampin' Up! Item #113458) Sizzix Bigz Top Note Die (Stampin' Up! Item #113463), Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Paper (Stampin' Up! Item #115675), Soft Suede,Crushed Curry and Melon Mambo cardstock.

The flowers were created using a tutorial from Julie Buhler who is a very talented Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. Julie shares her ideas and techniques on her blog Paper Pleasing Ideas. Thanks Julie.

Thank You Card

Today I created Thank You cards for the various expressions of sympathy I received on the passing of my Dad. The card was created using Stampin' Up! paper (Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa and Apricot Appeal), stamps (Embrace Life and Much Appreciated), Watercolor Pencils and ink, Spellbinders Nesties and organza ribbon from my "stash"

I stamped the flower from Embrace Life using StazOn and colored with the pencils. I stamped the thanks from Much Appreciated and trimmed the ends with decorative scissors.

The scalloped circle was cut from Close to Cocoa on my Big Shot and the flower was cut with a circle die using the Big Shot. Both circles are the Spellbinders Nesties.

I love the Embrace Life stamp set and have used it many times in various projects. It is such a simple yet elegant flower set and works well for thank you cards, birthday cards, maybe even a Mother's day card. It can also be used on scrapbook pages and in journals. I am sure I will pull this set out again in the very near future. I also like to use Versamark ink with this set to create elegant backgrounds which I will most likely use in a workshop later this month when I create a calendar.

I hope you enjoy this card.

I now need to create my Mom's Mother's day card, I already have her gift (Bare Escentuals products which she loves). Sunday my daughter, Mom and sisters will be going to Olive Garden for lunch to celebrate Mother's Day.

I would like to take a few minutes today to post a couple of specials from Stampin' Up!. The first is a special from the Occasions Mini Catalog that runs from April 1 until APril 30, 2009.

For each $40 in products (not including tax and shipping and handling) purchased from the Occasions Mini you can select 1 item free from the "Under $10" page (page 208) in the Spring-Summer 2009 Idea Book and Catalog.

You can also earn 1 free item (from the "Under $10 page (page 208) in the Spring-Sumer 2009 Idea Book & Catalog. if you host a workshop of $150(not including tax and shipping and handling) or more.

This is great and you can not only earn for the first $40 or first $150 in product, but you continue to earn for each $40 and $150 in product. So if you order totals $80-that's 2 free items.
