Holy Cow!!!!!!

Hi all!!
Boy has Stampin' Up! been working hard to bring you fabulous new products!!! I just got a sneak peak at the upcoming 40 page Holiday mini catalog that will begin for you on September 1 st and it is AMAZING!!!! Products you never thought you'd see in a Stampin' Up catalog are there, ripe for the pickin' ?!?!? You all know that I have LOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGG had die cutting machines - both Sizzix and Accucut - well I couldn't even count all the wonderful new dies that are in the new mini!! Yikes!! I can hardly contain my excitement!!! And you know what??? You could know all the wonderful details too if you signed up to be a demo with me - and any day now the $85 starter kit special begins (July 15th) and you could be in the know with me! I cannot reveal all the details to the stampin public until Stampin Up! releases the info, but if you were a demo (either hobby -I want a discount-or go-getter business lady) you would already know too!!! This mini is going to be a huge hit and, as a demo, you could make purchases from it as early as August 1st. Join me in the fun!!!! Contact me for details or check out my Stampin' Up ! website. peggyouten.stampinup.net
Stamp on!

Fifth Avenue Floral carde #4

Hi all
This card was made based on the directions offered by Patty Bennett. The shimmery white c/s is run through the big shot in the textured impressions folder. The a brayer is used (two different colors) to bray the back of the card - everywhere the Big Shot impressed the paper is a gulley and the ink does not stick there. Try it! Don't have a Big Shot? You should come to my classes - you get to use my Big Shot to make a variety of projects without having to buy the machine.

I'm excited!!

Hi All!
I have just finished setting up the room for tomorrow's (or should I say, later today's) stampin' class and I am excited about the project. We will be making 12 mini note cards with envelopes using the scallop envy die cut. They really turned out great!! We will also be covering the front and back of a mini lunch tin to store the note cards. Can't wait to take some pictures to show you! I am thinking of selling this set as a kit but will have to make some adaptations as I used some retired In Color papers and Cardstock - my supply of those is really down now. Hope my gals enjoy the project!!
This has been a long day that started earlier for me than usual. Usually, in the summer, I sleep in late and stay up really late - like tonight - I am a natural night owl - always have been. But today we took my son to get his birthday present - went to a place in DC to get it - and then came home to assemble it. I've been working all evening on prepping for class. Hope I don't hassle with insomnia tonight!!
Nighty night.

Fifth Avenue Floral #3

Hi all
Sad to see this designer series paper go..especially this light blue design. A little ribbon and some stickles in the middle add a bit of color to this design.
Love it

Fifth Avenue Floral card #2

Hi all
This card has a simple design and can be put together very quickly. The strip of ribbon gives you the texture you want without adding bulk ( and additional postage) for mailing.
