New Goodies!!!

As I sit on the beach in sunny Hawaii, look what I have with me.
That's right my very own copy of the new Annual Catalog.
Catalog
You are going to love this new book.  It is smaller than previous catalogs,
but it is packed full of lots and lots of fun new toys.
Look, my first boxes full of goodies has arrived.
Catalog and box of goodies
I can't wait to get back from the trip so I can start playing with new things.
I want to try out the new In Colors — so pretty.
As always it takes a little coaxing with the new In Colors — it is a change and
some of us don't do well with change but I promise once we start
using them we will all wonder how we did without them.
I've already seen some of these colors in the new clothing lines so they are
definitely right on track with the colors.

Join me for a sneak peek at the catalog and new products.
I am holding a Relay for Life Sneak Peek Fundraiser on Thursday, May 28th.
It's a great opportunity to come play with new products and help to
donate money to the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life.
Won't you come participate too???

Butterfly Basic Watercolor

I love the soft look of this card.  The Butterfly Basic stamp set is amazing.
This card has some great watercolor opportunities.
FlowersI like to use the Aqua Painters when watercoloring — for me it's faster.
If you aren't a fan of the Aqua Painter you can definitely use a Blender Pen.
The flowers are Pink Pirouette and Pool Party.  The leaves are Pear Pizzazz that has been watered down so it is much lighter and then heavier color for the upper portions of the leaves.  Don't forget to add a pearl to the center of the flower — it dresses it up so nice.

For You

The Mother's Love stamp set is a very overlooked set in the Occasions Catalog.
Yes, it worked great for Mother's Day cards but I love it as a set to make
every day cards for those special women in your life — friends, daughters, etc.
For YouThis card is for a perfect day that you are thinking about someone special to you.
The "For You" greeting is from the set — I love the font.
The flower outlines are stamped with Smoky Slate ink and then you can add
a little color inside using a marker or there is a stamp for the inside flowers.
This card was a swap that I received and the inside flowers were stamped with Smoky Slate ink that had been stamped off so it is very faint.
I love the yellow and gray color combination.
