I AM Alive!

I bet you were wondering what happened to me.  I post, I disappear, I post and then poof!  I’m gone!  Well, I’m NOT gone!  November just happened to be one of the busiest months I’ve had in a long time.  It was busy in a good way.  No deaths, no illnesses, just busy with Stampin’ Up! classes and workshops.  Then you have to throw in Thanksgiving at my house.  My son and his wife came for the holiday which meant I had to clean out the extra bedroom I had taken over.  Yikes!  What to do with all those boxes of retired Stampin’ Up! things?!

It’s December now and things have slowed down a bit….yes, I still need to make my Christmas cards, send my Christmas cards and do all of my Christmas shopping but I don’t feel quite as overwhelmed as I did last month.  We’re not traveling back to MN and the families until early January so I think I’ll survive.

008I really haven’t had time to play with all of the fabulous things I have from the Holiday Catalog.  Bummer!  This is a fun and easy card that I designed for a class but didn’t use.

I used the Merry Everything stamp set on this card along with the COORDINATING new Note Tag Punch!  There’s my favorite word again!  🙂

I wanted to try something a little different on this card.  I thought I’d try a little side border embossed with the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder.  I liked it but I needed to make it pop so I added a thin little strip of black.  Easy-Peasy!

I did have a sneak peek at the upcoming Occasions Catalog and the Sale-a-bration Brochure.  Let me just way WOO HOO!!!!!!  You’re going to LOVE them!  Once I get a little more organized and fine a bit of time (and get my pre-order) I’ll start teasing you with samples.  In the mean time have a great day!
