Celebrate Today with the New Annual Catalogue!

Ooh, if only I was technical enough to be able to include a fan fare and champagne corks popping on this blog post!

Today is finally the day that the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue goes live with all its lovely pretties inside!

If you wish to view it in all its splendor you can do so here  Please be warned though, your wish list may end up rather large!

If you'd prefer a hard copy to highlight and add sticky notes to (or is that just me?) then please do not hesitate to let me know.  I have the celebratory gift tags ready!

A Night of Navy Birthday Bash

I often steer clear of the colour navy.  It always makes me think of school jumpers, or court shoes, just uncomfortable uniforms in general!

However, when I saw this sheet of DSP within the Birthday Bash collection, the pattern just jumped out at me.  It was so different from the other brightly coloured and gold accented sheets in the set that I had to create something with it - it posed me a challenge!

I didn't want whatever I created to turn out 'manly' so I think the petite petal punch helps soften the statement paper up.  I chose the generic sentiment for the same reason.

I guess it is one of those 'just because' cards to let someone know you're thinking of them.

After finishing it, I think I actually like navy now.  Though I won't be buying a navy jumper any time soon!
