Friends are fabulous. . .

I have been playing with some new stamps from the Just Released 09-10 Stampin’ Up! Idea Book and Catalog . . .it is here and it is magnificent!!!

This is my swap card for the ControlFreaks Swap group.

Love me some Freaks, I tell ya’!

The set used on this card is called Circle Circus-stamped in Black Stazon on glossy white cardstock. The sentiment is from the set Really Retro. Drama Baby!

Some of the other new products seen on this card???

The very cool Modern Label punch, used in conjunction with some new Big Shot Toys!!! PLEASE contact me to see these babies in action!

Also, one of our newest in-color choices. . .Bermuda Bay! Hello Lovely!

A little black grograin to finish it off-I luuuuve this color combination. . .

I have new catalogs for my customers-current and potential-Contact me to see about getting one for yourself ASAP!

Happy Daddy’s Day!

I am missing my hubby today.

So in his honor, I am posting the project I made for him. . .as did my club members in May. Happy Daddies all over the place!

You may have seen this brag book before. . .I posted another one *here* and there is also a link to the splitcoast tutorial on that post.

You should make one of these! It is fun and easy!

The corduroy button is manly, right? And the twine? What man doesn’t like twine, I ask you?? Or trees?

It does have the color Sage Shadow, but if you call it blue-green when you are talking to him you should be fine. . .

Of course, once he opens it and sees all the pictures of his favorite little people, he won’t care what color it is :)

I put some coordinating colored page protectors in there, which allowed for some artistic expression by my 6year old. Five double sided pages with photos, notes to daddy, and a lot of love.

I know he isn’t going to have it by today (apparently the mail is being interfered with b/c of weather), but I hope he gets it soon!
