Here are 4 of the cards that we made at the Build a Brads class I had a while back.

That is one of the things that I love about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is being able to get ideas from all kinds of places! If you are interested in joining Stampin' Up! it doesn't cost anything to ask questions. Find out what its all about and if being a demonstrator would fit into your life.

Fresh cuts class

Did you miss out on taking my Fresh cuts Flowers class? If so you missed out on some fun cards.

The Fresh Cuts stamp set will be in the new catalog that begins Aug. 11th. Also the Fresh Notes with envelopes will be in there. Be sure to attend my Customer Appreciation event so you can check out these awesome Fresh Cuts ensemble among other things.


SPEAKING OF THE NEW CATALOG....I GOT MY PRE-ORDER!!!!!


Here is a fun sneak peak of the great things to come with the new catalog.
Be sure and visit my BLOG so you don’t miss out on anything.

My box of New Products arrived Friday - new stamp sets, an amazing scallop punch - great for borders, framing, edging and I am sure many as yet discovered possibilities. New colors. The new In Colors are a perfect compliment to Stampin' Up!’s 48 color family. Kiwi Kiss and Red Riding Hood will make for awesome Holiday cards and projects, Kiwi Kiss, Red Riding Hood and Tangerine will brighten your fall and thanksgiving decorations. Pacific Pointe, Baja Breeze, Tangerine Tango and Red Riding Hood will be perfect for scrapbooking all your summer travels. Red Riding Hood paired with Pink Pirouette is perfect for Valentines and all your sweet girl projects. These colors are amazing.
















This is some of the New Designer Papers called Bella Rose.














Check out how well it coordinates with the New In Colors!



















Also in my pre-0rder I got a Simply Sent Card Elements Kit. These are a new product. They contain the consumables to make your projects. There is enough in there to make 9 cards. They show you 3 different designs and you make 3 of each design or you make your own designs up. It was really quick and easy and a lot of FUN!!!














This was a huge sneak peek for those demonstrators that are going to convention. This is a wallet for your point and shoot cameras. As a attender of convention you can purchase one at Momento Mall, BUT it tells us that it is featuring prints from our new Maine Blueberry Designer Series papers. So it's a sneak peek into some more of the Designer Series Papers. It looks like that DSP will coordinate very well with the Baja Breeze, Pacific Point, & Kiwi Kiss In Colors cardstock.










I can hardly wait to see what else SU has in store for us with a new catalog! Be sure and attend my customer appreciation event to look at these products and more first hand!!!

Side Note: Some of you may not realize this is a posting to my blog. You can go to http://kimscreativestamping.blogspot.com and you will find all kinds of things there. Go check it out and leave me a comment. Let me kow what you like and what else you'd like to see on the blog.

I've been Tagged!!!

WoW!!! I've been Tagged! I've seen these all over on blogs but never expected to be tagged myself. I was tagged by the sweetest person and awesome stamper Deann Oliver.



Like Deann I'm not good at coming up with things about myself. I think I'm pretty normal....BUT I'll give it my best shot!



1. I spend more time surfing the internet looking for stamping ideas, then I do actually stamping.



2. I can't read music, but I can play the harmonica by ear. Mostly hymns.



3. I've been known to play the harmonica with my nose also.



4. My favorite shows on tv are So you think you can dance, Big Brother, Survivor, House Hunter, Hell's Kitchen, The next food network star. Can you tell I'm kind of a reality tv junkie!



5. My favorite kind of music is Rock. Give me Nickleback, Daughtry Ac/Dc or Ozzy Osbourne any day over Kenny Chesney, or Toby Keith!!!



6. We're remodeling our house and I'm going from a Cluttered Country look to a very traditional look. I have white walls now...when I'm done I will have walls with color!!! I LOVE COLOR!!!



7. I have been married for 22 years, I've been a Mom for 15 years, I've been a SU demo for 4 1/2" years, I've been stamping & scrapbooking for 14 years

Thats the best I can do for ya! Hope you enjoyed learning something random and strange about me.

EDITED: to include People I've tagged.

mj albright - This is a blog that I frequent and Mary Jo has some great ideas!
Patty Bennett - This is one of my all time favorite blogs that I check every day! Patty has some awesome ideas.
Dannie's Design - Love this blog also.

******************************************

Check out this great announcement from Stampin' Up! today...

We're excited to announce that all new stamp sets in the Fall-Winter 2008 Idea Book & Catalog (including new hostess sets) will be die cut for your convenience! We know you enjoy the flexibility of custom mounting your stamps, and with these die-cut sets, all you'll need to do is pop, peel, and place before you begin stamping.
Only our new stamps will be die cut; sets carried over from the last catalog and those on the dormant list will still require trimming. But, each new set will feature a die cut icon so you and your customers will have no problems identifying die-cut sets.


Isn't that exciting? I used to set my new stamps aside so I could trim them later while I watched a movie. Now I don't have to do that. I can use the new stamps as soon as I get them. Way to go Stampin' Up!
I'm also excited about today because Stampin' Up! demonstrators are able to purchase a few stamp sets and accessories from the upcoming Fall-Winter catalog. I've already turned my order in for the new In Colors, a new scalloped border punch (yeah!!!), a new set of designer series paper, and some new stamp sets. I'll be sure to post pictures once I get my order and have a chance to play with my new goodies!

****************************************************

Preorder your New Stampin' Up! catalog for $5

I will be placing my order for the new catalogs on July 7th. Be sure and let me know before then that you would like a catalog.

****************************************************

July 21st the Retired Accessories list will be available. With this list be sure and get your order in right away. Every year I have people wait until the last minute or after the deadline, and then they miss out because the products are gone!
