March Flooding

March was an interesting month.  Orange, Texas was inundated with water from the Sabine River due to heavy rains and flooding in North Texas.  So much water, that Interstate 10 had to be closed for several days.  Fortunately for me, my house did not flood, others were not so fortunate.  I count my blessings every day.

So, I am back to stamping after spending a week putting back all my "stuff" and getting back to normal.  I had to cancel a workshop, but made some cards for those people who placed an online order for that cancelled workshop.  

My Paper Pumpkin pals will join me on April 9 at my home to make cards using the March Paper Pumpkin kit.  It will be fun.  It is a great kit.

See the some of the cards that will be shared with my friends who placed those order.

The stamps sets used came from the February Paper Pumpkin kit, the Botanicals Bundle, and the A Nice Cuppa Bundle.

Occasions Catalog: January Workshop

I absolutely love the stamps, paper and embellishments in the new Occasions catalog.  The Going Places ensemble of paper, stamps, embossing folder, and accessories lends itself to masculine cards.  Don't forget that it is Sale-a-bration and for each $50 you spend you will receive a sale-a-bration item in the new catalog.

Catching Up: Christmas 2015

Below are some cards that I made using Christmas DSP from previous Holiday catalogs.  Christmas is a year-long project for me.  I love the season, colors, and cards.

Enjoy,

New Occasions Catalog --- Coming Soon

The new Occasions catalog has arrived and the Holiday catalog is going away.  The transition between catalogs is always exciting and bittersweet.  I loved this Holiday catalog, but am looking forward to the new sets and products in the new Occasions catalog.  If you missed ordering something in the Holiday 2015, you only have a couple of days to order those items.

Now what do I love about the Occasions catalog.  I love the bundles and one of my favorites is the Botanical Blooms bundle (140819).  You receive the die, stamp set, and paper all for a 15% discount. 

I love the flower dies.  The paper is gorgeous, but you can create your own designs by using the stamps in the Botanical Blooms stamp set.

Check out some of the cards I have made using all the components in the bundle.

Paper Pumpkin, November 2015

Here are my Christmas cards from the November 2015 Paper Pumpkin kit.  There were so many options.  I still have a few items left from the kit.  I love Paper Pumpkin and look forward to receiving my box each month.

Paper Pumpkin, Noel Kit

The Paper Pumpkin November 2015 sold out so fast that I was not able to order extras for a few of my Paper Pumpkin crew that missed the kit.  I made some alternative projects with the Noel kit and our group worked on both projects.  Here are some of the cards from this kit.
