New Stamp Set Showcase: Regarding Dahlias

I love this stamp set.  The flower is so big and absolutely gorgeous.  You can stamp it in colour, you can use VersaMark and embossing powder, you can use it as a background or you can cut it out and mount it as a focal point.  Whatever you do, it's a great set!

"Season of Style" Scrapbook project

Hi,
Here's another fabulous video that shows great new products in the Holiday Catalogue!

The products shown are the 8x8 Seasonal Stripes Album, the 8x8 Divided Page Protectors and the Season of Style Journaling Tags.

This style of scrapbooking is perfect for the BUSY person (I think that's everyone, isn't it??).  It's really about documenting life.  It's about keeping the memories and jotting down quick ideas.  It's something your whole family can be part of.

It's a kind of scrapbooking that I think I can manage!  :)

Anyway, here's the video so you can have a look at those products in action!

"Season of Style" Holiday Planner/Organizer

I know, I know, it's WAY too early to start thinking about Christmas, but I wanted to show you this video which showcases NEW products in the Holiday Catalogue!  This organizer will help you GET READY for the holidays, so it's something you might want to get in the next few months.  OR you can use it as a memory journal for this holiday season.

The video, made by Stampin' Up! (love their videos), shows the This and That Season of Style Journal,  the Naughty and Nice Rotary Stamp, the Season of Style This and That Stickers and the new Washi Tape.

I saw all of these products at Convention and LOVE them.  I just purchased them for myself so that I can make the journal/organizer too!

Enjoy your day,

Made by Michele Force.  So simple and pretty!

Wowza - these sweet beach scenes were made by Angie Leach.
