I scream, you scream, we all scream...

...for new stamp sets!! I just love this new Sweet Scoops set (available as of May 1st in both clear and wood mount). Who doesn't love a scoop of ice cream, with sprinkles of course, on a hot summer day. I can see using this set a lot on my summer birthday cards and scrapbook pages. I used Melon Mambo as my card base and stamped the scoops in Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry, Dusty Durango and Old Olive. The sprinkles are done with Chocolate Chip. YUMMY!! I used the 1 1/4 inch square punch and lined them up on a piece of Chocolate Chip cardstock. This is a quick and easy card that you will see in an upcoming class. Stay tuned for another Sneak Peek of the Summer Mini Catalogue tomorrow.

Colour Renovation

Stampin' Up! has announced they are doing a colour renovation effective in the new catalogue which will be released on July 1st. Some colours will be retiring, some will be coming back from former In Colours and some will be brand new! I am so excited for this change and think you will love how the colours will all work together. I just received in the mail today, a sample of the five new permanent colours. They are simply gorgeous and I can hardly wait to own them in ink, paper, ribbons etc. Join me in July for my Open House (date to be determined) to use some of the new colours and purchase some of my retired ones (along with stamps and other accessories).

We are the champions!

Well there's been a lot of excitement around here with Ben's hockey team's win last night! How awesome for the team that went into the playoffs in last place to turn it all around and win the finals. We are so proud of all of the kids. They improved tremendously over the season. The celebration will continue on Sunday with the awards lunch. Way to go C-Force! Thanks for an entertaining hockey season.

Decor Elements

Oh my goodness...has it really been two months since I posted! Sale A Bration has kept me very busy as well as some house projects. We have been painting and also re-did our powder room. We always had a pedestal sink and it drove me nuts. There was nowhere for soap or to store extra towels and toilet paper. Now I have a beautiful cabinet, new light and a fantastic Decor Elements piece on my wall. I was so nervous to put it up but it was easy and looks so awesome. Now I have plans to put them up in a few other rooms. I love that Stampin' Up! has ventured into home decor and hope you will experiment with some of the great designs that are available.
