Sneak Peek-- My New Goodies Are Here!

And I had to play! I couldn't resist! They actually came Monday, but a day of not feeling well, then a field trip with my nephew, took away my time. I am squeezing this post in before I leave for a Shoebox Swap (check for more info tomorrow).

As a Demonstrator, I can preorder some new items in preparation for the August 11th release of the new Fall-Winter Idea Book and Catalog. This is actually one reason I became a demonstrator! I promise to not show much more until the catalog actually comes out, but I just needed to play!

Here's my first card:

I was so impressed with the new designer paper, new In Colors, and new stamps sets, that I drew blank. What did I do for inspiration? Head to splitcoast! This week's sketch challenge SC184 had this great layout. This card took maybe 15 minutes to create! It's beautiful, and not my usual style, but I found a way to both use a shade of pink called Pink Pirouette and a rose on the same card. My sister will be proud.

Stamps: Dreams du Jour

Ink: Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, Pink Pirouette

Paper: Riding Hood Red, Bella Rose Designer Paper, Whisper White

Accessories: Paper Piercing Tool and Mat, 1 3/8 Square Punch, 1 1/4 Square Punch, Snail adhesive

Book a workshop in August to try out these great new items! I have 3 dates left!
