*All designs are by me, except when noted and all images are Stampin' Up!, except when noted*
You may be wondering where the heck I've been lately. Well, lots of different things have been happening in the life of this PaperFriend. My Dad was ill for a long time but seems to be doing much better these days. Praise the Lord! Of course, I've also been watching grandchildren and helping my husband with ESP (Engineering Summer Program), a camp for students going into their senior year of high school. Anyway, I'm spending what little extra time making fun stuff and holding classes when I can. The end of this month should bring an end to all the running and I will be back in my workshop more often.
One of the juicy fun things about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is that we get first dibs at the new product being introduced in the upcoming catalogs. I'm just absolutely loving the new In Colors and stamp sets I pre-ordered. I thought I'd share them with you today.
The first one is all new. The yummy color on this card is Rich Razzleberry and the designer paper is from the Razzleberry Lemonade collection. Ooh, and isn't that cute new matching polka dot ribbon. Cute!
The second card also uses paper from the Razzleberry Lemonade collection. The In Colors are Melon Mango and Crushed Curry (papers and inks). I used one of my favorite current stamps sets (Cheap Talk) for my image. I love it, I love it, I love it! And, oooh, there's that new matching polka dot ribbon again. Wheeee!
Oh bummer, Bella Rose is gone. I missed my chance to order some more of my favorite Designer Series Paper :( but here is a sample of a card I made with what I had on hand. (This was my swap for the month of June).
