Road too Long - A Sneak Peek

Greetings stampers!

Our annual year end purge continued today (where do we get all this stuff?) with another trip to Goodwill.  We've been there so many times lately the guys recognize us when we pull up.  And we'll be back for at least one, and maybe two drop offs tomorrow.

All that purging didn't stop me from making a card for you today.  As I was reading through some blogs this morning, I came across one that mentioned the 100th challenge over at Can You Case It?  Stop by their site before January 1, 2016.  Not only is there a challenge underway, but they are having a blog hop complete with prizes!

The challenge is a sketch challenge :



And here is my card:

The new products in use on this card are the stamp set, "Beautiful Ride" and DSP, "Going Places".  Both will be available with the new Occasions catalog starting January 5, 2016.

Perfectly Artistic All Occasion Sneak Peeks

Hello Stampers!

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas holiday!  Ours was really, really nice.  And then the rains came over night Christmas night.  By my two rain gauges, it looks like we had more than 13 inches of rain in my backyard before it finally stopped Monday night.  Man, that's a lot of rain!  But it finally stopped, and now it's cold.  Just like December is supposed to be!

I have a trio of cards for you today.  All three cards feature the new Perfectly Artistic DSP that will be available as a SAB free item from Jan 5, 2016 - February 15, 2016.  (Yes, some Sale-a-bration items will only be available for a limited time).

Earlier this year, one of my co-workers suggested I keep a basket of cards at my desk so people can buy a card without leaving the office.  It started slowly, but recently, as more people have become aware of my cards, I've had several sales. But, at the same time, I've become very aware that I need to increase my supply of gender neutral cards.  So, when I saw the Perfectly Artistic DSP in the SAB brochure, I literally squealed with excitement!  This paper is so well suited for that gender neutral card!  Take a look and let me know what you think.

The sneak peek products are:

Perfectly Artistic DSP (SAB item)-all
Botanicals for You (SAB stamp set)-Just for You card
Suite Sayings Stamp Set (Occasions stamp set)-Congratulations Card
It's My Party Enamel Dots (Occasions item) - Just for You card

The non-sneak peek products are:

Whisper White 8-1/2" X 11" Thick Cardstock
$7.00

Crushed Curry 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
$7.00

Soft Sky 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
$7.00

Tip Top Taupe 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock
$7.00

Mint Macaron Classic Stampin' Pad
$6.50

Tags & Labels Framelits Dies
$27.00

Washi Label Punch
