Christmas came a little early for me. My friend, Margaret and I decided to just order each other the Stampin' Up things we wanted for Christmas. I sent a couple of items her way that she had on her wish list for Christmas when she placed an order last week. And she gave me her credit card and I ordered a few things for myself for Christmas. Isn't that the best way to do it? Then, everyone gets what they want!
Here are the items I received this week from the new Mini Catalog which starts January 5. The stamp set is a clear set and comes in a DVD box so there is plenty of room for the stamps PLUS on the spine of the box is a picture of the stamps that are in the box. Easier to see what you've got when it's on your shelf!! I just wish Stampin' Up had done this years ago! I don't know that I want to take all the rubber off my old wooden blocks for ease of storage but it's a thought. I've about run out of room for those big boxes of stamps.
So I got the Vintage Vogue stampset (clear) along with the Very Vintage large wheel, 5/8" Celery Satin Ribbon, Red Corduroy Buttons, Scallop Corner Punch, and Two Step Bird punch from the Mini Catalog. I got the paper pad, Welcome Neighbor, from the upcoming Sale-a-bration Catalog. The Sweet Pea Stitched Felt pieces were a gift from Stampin' Up!!
I also received this pin because I am now CERTIFIED in My Digital Studio.
Here is a card I made yesterday using my new stamp set.
I used the Nestabilities Ovals and cut a Gold oval and a Rich Razzleberry Oval. I stamped the "F" in Gold, embossed it and carefully cut it out. The bottom of the Very Vanilla paper is wheeled in gold, embossed and distressed. I crumbled up the whole paper, straightened it back out and sponged Soft Suede all over it. I wanted to use one of the new felt pieces but I'm not so sure it really goes with the vintage-ness of the card. Oh well .... that's what I did. The ribbon and card base are Rich Razzleberry.
Well, gotta run - headed to town for a bone density test and thyroid ultrasound test. Hoping to meet Sonny for lunch after his stress test. And I guess we'll be headed back to town tonight to watch the Steelers .... hopefull BEAT Cleveland. If we can't beat the Browns, we might as well give up!! Last I heard was that Hines Ward was hurt and will be sitting on the bench with Troy Polamalu so I'm not so sure about our chances.
