'LOVE IT, LOVE IT'







I just had to laugh when I saw this card - isn't it cute!! I drive a red VW bug and I love it, too.
Thanks to Lee Ann Greff for sharing this card on her blog (http://flowerbug.typepad.com/).
I think I will make it my "signature" card for my male friend's birthdays. It would make a fun Father's Day card, also.
Thought for the day:
Recall it as often as you wish, a happy memory never wears out.

DAYS-TO-REMEMBER CALENDAR

It's not too early to start thinking about making Christmas presents for family and friends. This Days-to-Remember Calendar makes a great gift and is easy to make at just 3 workshops. My sister, Shirley, and I hold 3 workshop and make four pages each night. By holding the workshops mid-year it gives your ladies the rest of the year to collect pictures for their calendar. Remember that after the gift is used as a calendar the pages will fit into a 6" x 6" scrapbook and can be kept as a keepsake.

'BEAUTIFUL WINGS" BIRTHDAY CARD

This is a pretty card that I received for my birthday from my friend and fellow demonstrator, Karen H. Karen used the Thoughts and Prayers (#113252) stamp set and embellished the card with the pretty butterflies using the Beautiful Wings embosslits die from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I hope this embosslit die will find it's way into the new catalog coming out in July. The card could be used for any occasion by just changing the sentiment at the bottom.

"SUMMER MINI CATALOG"



I always love it when a new "Mini" comes out. It's so exciting to see all the new stamp sets and accessories. From today until August 31st you will be able to order from this catalog. I think one of the big favorites will be the "Island Oasis" designer paper and the "Tropical Party" stamp set that will be great to use for all of your summer parties. Also, there is a wheel and stamp set that will be perfect for 'July 4th" cards and party favors. And, don't forget Dad by using the "King of the Grill" set.
If you would like a Summer Mini just email me at csoehler@bellsouth.net and I'll be glad to send you one.

"SWEET PEA" DESIGNER PAPER AND EMBELLISHMENTS



We learned earlier this week that the "Sweet Pea" designer paper and "Sweet Pea Stitched Felt" has already sold out from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I'm sure alot of you are sad, just like me.
These are some cards made by my friend, Bernice M., and designed by her demonstrator and my good friend, Karen H. The cards are made from the "Sweet Pea" designer paper and embellished with the "Sweet Pea Stitched Felt". Even though we can't use the same designer paper or embellishments we can use the design of the cards to CASE (Copy and Steal Everything) our own cards. Thanks Bernice and Karen for sharing your cards.


Be sure to check out all the other pretty stamp sets and accessories in the Occasions Mini Catalog. Tomorrow is the last day to order from this Mini.

"SUNDRESS CARD"

You can become a "fashion designer" by using your designer paper and the scallop circle (#113468) die to make this cute little sundress. By using a 6" x 6" piece of designer paper you will have enough left after cutting out the dress to put a strip down the edge of the inside that will show behind the scalloped edge on the front of the card. It's a great little card to make at a workshop.

Don't forget that we only have THREE days left to order from the Occassions Mini catalog. Click on the icon on the right to view the catalog.
