Love in Copper and Real Red - and a Free Offer

Hi everyone!

I know Valentine's Day is next week, but in this little part of the world, it sure feels like spring!  We were able to crack open a couple of windows today and tomorrow should bring more of the same.  DH was able to get out and do a little yard work today, too.  It's a welcome respite for the middle of winter!

Free Offer!
Today I am sharing another Valentine with you.  One of the focal points of this card is the red lace doily (#142793).  The doilies are white on one side and vanilla on the other.  I sponged the white side with Real Red ink to create the one on this card.  I love the versatility of these doilies, so I've decided to give them away!  So, during February, with your $50.00 (or more) order, I will send you a pack of these doilies.  They will be shipped out at the end of the month, and will come directly from me.  This offer is retroactive, so if you have already placed a qualifying order, you will get these doilies as well!

A Tease
Paper Pumpkin monthly boxes are processed on the 11th of the month based on all orders/subscriptions placed by the 10th.  Without giving any details, Paper Pumpkin posted this tease today:    HINT: those of you who love unique card kits...that's all I'm saying.     If this intrigues you as well, you only have a couple of days left to sign up to get the February kit!  Contact me today for details!

And finally, my card:

Here's how it will work - every 6 - 8 weeks, I will offer a new workshop by mail.  All the cards/projects  will feature the same stamp set or bundle.  The stamp set or bundle, directions for all cards/projects along with pictures, supplies to make the projects (excluding ink and adhesives), photos of bonus projects, tax, shipping, and handling.  The first workshop will feature projects using the Thoughtful Branches bundle.

And the special price for the bundle + everything mentioned above is $65.00.  Remember, this is a limited edition set, so if you are interest in this bundle, contact me with your Paypal email address so I can send you an invoice.  Once your invoice is paid, I will order your bundle.  The bundle will ship direct to you from Stampin Up.  The other workshop materials will be sent from me and may arrive at a different time than the bundle.

Congrats for CYCI

Hello Stampers!

Did you enjoy those videos using products from the Holiday Catalog?  I thought you would!

I haven't participated in any challenges recently, not that I haven't wanted to, because I really enjoy them, but rather, the timing just hasn't worked out for me.

That's about to change.  Today I have a card that I am submitting for this week's challenge over at Can You Case It?  They have a color challenge this week...and I happened to have a card in mind that was a good fit!

Here is the challenge:
