NEW Stampin'Up! In Colors!!!!

Here are the NEW Stampin'Up! In colors to be released tomorrow, July 1st. All will be available, but the new Bermuda Bay, they are having color quality issues and re-ordering all new pads, mine will be replaced, but I just couldn't resist stamping it anyhow!

New colors are:

Soft Suede

Dusty Durango

Crushed Curry

Melon Mambo

Rich Razzleberry

Bermuda Bay

As much as I LOVED the retiring in colors, these are really pretty and will be a nice change to work with!

The "bird" I stamped is a NEW Level 2 hostess set called "Wings of Friendship". You can earn this set by hosting a $300 or more workshop.

Check back later, as I am going to turn these bird images into a set of notecards!

Support Your Local Animal Shelter & Meet JO!

JO sewing the cat beds!

The pile of cat beds we stuffed!

My friend "JO" has a heart of gold! She volunteers at our local animal shelter in Cass County in Michigan for the cats. She makes "cat beds" for all the adopted cats and kitties and even some for the ones that are still residents of the "county". She had a "call out" to her friends and relatives to come and help stuff the beds, 48 of them, that she had cut and sewn and all we had to do was stuff them. We got all 48 stuffed before we left, and she still has to sew the tubes to the pillows. Now all the fleece, stuffing, thread and TIME is donated by Jo, she also helps pay for spaying and neutering to help save a cats life. Please help out YOUR local shelter, even if its only a $2 donation to help pay for food, litter, toys, or health care for either a dog or a cat! All these animals need OUR help to have a happy and healthy life....as "JO" says..."adopt a Shelter animal"...save a life!

Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #10

Well, here I am again with another color challenge. But my darn camera (or dark log house) make the colors look pink...eeeeegads, they are not, I used SU Cameo Coral, chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla . The stamp set I used is one I JUST received, yep, I used a new one! Its from Unity stamp company and its called "Shine On".....I love this set, the lamps (and there are 2 more) come single, so you can use them anyway you want! I paper pieced these and added some bling and trim. The inside of the card is stamped "You light up my life" and "Happy Birthday"

The color Challenge is one from Dawn McVey called Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #10.

These challenges have been good for me, as I just have not been motivated at all to create, I have been buying, but just not using...stupid on my part!!!

I'll be back later with more challenges!

Color Inspiration Challenge

Here is the card I did for a K Werner Design challenge #55. I used my newest purchase from Unity Stamp Co called "Growing In Unity", the sentiment is also a Unity stamp! Every Wednesday, Unity has a "garage sale", they have several sets they offer at 50% and $2 shipping, so needless to say, my Unity collection is growing! Today is Wednesday, so why not head on over and check out the great deals!

The colors I choose are all Stampin'Up!, Really Rust, More Mostard, Grey, and very vanilla. One of the best things about this card is I used scraps to complete it, and the ribbon is the very last of a tiny piece I had...yeah!

I am working on some more challenges this week, I had to do something to get me motivated! If you click on the links above you can go to Unity or the K Werner Design Blog...have fun!!
