The new Stampin’ Up! catalog is here and I have placed orders for my Stamper’s Club, my Open House guests and myself.  I can’t wait for UPS to come later this week to deliver all the fun new stuff.  Remember the sneak peek we got a couple of months ago – the Summer Smooches Suite – well its back and featured in the new catalog on Pages 80 and 81.  It is so very bright and cheerful.  Here is a card idea – I got the “sketch” (the layout) from somewhere online so it may look familiar.

The background is Real Red, then there are strips of Lucky Limeade and circles on the end of each strip.  There is a strip of the Summer Smooches Designer Series paper on each and then a stamped circle using the Bright Blossoms stamp set.  Each flower has a mini silver brad in it and the card is finished with a piece of the Daffodil Delight Seam Binding.

This card will be part of my Card Maker’s Club so come join me at the end of the month if you would like to make one.

My Open House yesterday was lots of fun and so was Stamper’s Club on Friday night.  I have to get pictures of all the projects so I can post this week.  I’m off to the post office to mail awards for the STARZ group and then to get Ryan from band practice – he made the drum line as a snare drummer this year – I’m very excited for him – he had tried out for this last year and didn’t get chosen, but this year he did.
