Eskimo Kiss

Well Hello there! I did this card mostly for a challenge on SBS which you had to include at least one tree. I am so addicted to Stampin'Up cardstock .......that's all I like to use anymore, you can't beat the quality in it. Honestly I've used other brands and I have not come across a better one yet that I care to use.....sorry LOL **Tree Stamp & other snowflakes used is SU. **Printed window sheets that have snowflakes on it are layered over the entire card.......adds a great effect! Happy Stampin' Yall

Old & New Stampin'Up!

This is a monthly sketch that SBS26 is having and I signed on to do a swap so I got it done today. I used the newest jumbo wheel from SU called "Very Vintage" it's from the Mini Occasions Catalog on page 27 item 117693. I used the TJ technique called "Burnish Background" for the main focal point in the sketch........the inks used are Melon Mambo, Dusty Durango and Bermuda Bay.

Stampin'Up! Deco Page

I really need to get my PSP program loaded back onto my computer so I can make a sharper image of the photos that I take..........anyway this is stamped with a retired stamp set but by far one of my favorites. Flowers was the theme for this book and I had fun making this for Mary Kay, she was the local stamp store owner until she closed shop .....we all sure miss her!

Snap shots of our Sunsets

I couldn't resist taking a couple pictures of the beauty of these sunsets to share with you.

Second one is kind of blurry but just showing you the coloring of what we get here in Alaska.

New Punch Design

Starting with the new 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog and continuing with all new punch designs going forward, Stampin' Up! has adopted a new body style for our punches! A few features of the new punch style: Low-profile, rectangular punch body allows for easier stacking and storing Punches lock shut for easier storage and transport Dual labels on top and end allow for easy identification and selection when stored Available in three sizes: small, medium, and extra-large New punches allow for larger punched images and more intricate designs while providing greater ease of use. Extra -large punch images also allow for two-step designs like the Two-Step Bird punch in the Occasions Mini Catalog Corner punches allow you to punch a corner design along the inside edges of a page, not just corners larger, whole-hand handle design provides better leverage for easier use Available in an exclusive Stampin' Up! color Part of Stampin' Up!'s commitment to providing demonstrators and customers with the very best crafting tools includes the belief in what we call continuous improvement. Essentially what this means is that even if something works very well, but we see a chance to improve it, we will work to make it even better. While new punch designs will be in the new body style, existing designs will remain in the existing body style for now.
