So Many Hearts

So, do you just LOVE the new Occasions Mini?!  I can't believe how much I love this one!

As a demonstrator, we always get the month before it's release to preorder from upcoming catalogs.  Since my "creative vision" is somewhat limited, I usually only order a couple of items until I can see what other, more creative people, do with them!

This Mini was definitely different for me though!!  I orders so much (not as much as I wanted though), AND got to spend some of the Christmas break playing with it all!!

Although I LOVE all of the new products that I got, I am most excited about the new Framelits & Edgelits!!  This card was made using the new Hearts Collection Framelits Die, and a little sneak peak at a Sale-a-Bration stamp set!!

Stamps:  Sprinkled Expressions

Ink:  Riding Hood Red

Card Stock:  Baja Breeze, Blushing Bride, Whisper White, Twitterpated DSP

Accessories:  Big Shot, Hearts Collection Framelits Dies, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder, 3/8" Pleated Satin Ribbon - Baja Breeze, Designer Buttons - Twitterpated

If you would like any of the items used to make this project, or would like your own copy of the Occasions Mini, give me a call, email me, or ORDER ONLINE anytime!

Happy Winnie the Pooh Day!

I had no idea!!  Did you?

We just love Winnie the Pooh here in our house!  I grew up with him, and do did our girls!!

The New Mini Occasions Mini is Here!!

and Happy New Year!!

I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday Season, and had a chance to spend time with all the people you love!

One of the "perks" of having my own business, is having the flexibility with my schedule, and boy, did I take advantage of that this last month!!

However, my self imposed hiatus lasted a bit longer than I had planned.  Our annual "holiday cold" went through the house, and laid us all low for a couple of days.  Luckily it was after Christmas, so it was nice to relax a bit!

 But now it's January, and there is so much going on this month!

The new Occasions Mini is just gorgeous!  Everything, from the new sets, the papers, and the accessories are all just beautiful!!

If you haven't seen it yet, you can view it ONLINE, or send me an email or give me a call to get your copy!
