Swappin' Season!

Once I finished my schooling and state exams, it was back to creating! I joined an Idea Book & Catalog swap for the New IBC 2011-2012! This swap was for every stamp set in the new catalog! Our swap hostess broke down the catalog into categories and listed each stamp set in that particular category. I selected seven different stamps sets in seven categories and got busy preparing my creations for each set. In all, I should be receiving 105 different cards in return! I can't wait! Meanwhile, here's a look at one of the swap cards I made for the first category, Hostess Stamp Sets. I used Array of Sunshine stamp set. Let me know what you think!


Please note, I receive inspiration from many different demonstrators. Although I do not yet have a watermark for my own, I do want to give credit for the CASE (copy and share everthing) from the original artist. I believe this card was inspired by the all talented Mary Brown.

Thanks for Inkin' of me,

The NEW Idea Book & Catalog is here!

What a way to celebrate the start of July, today! Take a good look through the NEW IBC!! This Idea Book & Catalog is packed with great ideas, products and tips!
Happy July 1st!

I'm loving it!

I have my very own catalog to drool over and I'm doing just that! Wow, it's so fun to be a demonstrator and get this perk! I've made up my list and have some wonderful new preview items on their way to my craft room! Meanwhile, I played with Nancy's new items in her home on Wednesday! We made this Fancy Favor box using a new punch and stamp set with a new In Color, too! Did I mention that I L♥VE the new In Colors?


Thanks for Inkin' of me today,

The List is Here!

It's time to say farewell to lots of the retiring stamps, accessories and Decor Elements! This is to make room for lots of NEW items to appear in the New Idea Book & Catalog which is released on July 1st! As a demonstrator, we not only get to view a few of the new items and preorder starting today - June 1st, but we also get a free New Idea Book & Catalog to drool through before anyone else, with our preorder! I LOVE being a demonstrator!! I'm so excited!
To see the retiring stamp sets, click HERE. To view the retiring accessories (only while supplies last), click HERE. The Decor Elements (I love these) are now going to be in the New IBC so you won't have to have a separate mini catalog. To look over which Decor Elements are going away, click HERE!

Have your wish list ready with pen in hand so you can write down all those that are going away, that you want to purchase before they're gone! Then, let me know what you'd like to order before July 1st! Remember, the accessories retiring are a first-come, first-serve and once they're gobbled up, they're gone! The retiring stamp sets are available until June 30th. Have fun and let me know if you have any questions! You can view all these on my website, if you click HERE!

Thanks for Inkin' of me,
