Birthday Herd

Hi there!  Gosh, it's hard to believe this is the last day of the year - it sure went by FAST!  That's a sure sign that I'm getting old, right?  Lol  Better just get to the card and not waste any more time.  It's another card the girls made at Club this past Saturday, which uses a new set from the Stampin' Up! 2015 Occasions Catalog.  This set cracked me up when I first saw it at the Catalog Kickoff earlier this month!  It is called From the Herd.  The card has more of a masculine feel (in my opinion) with the neutral tones, burlap ribbon, and Hardwood background. 
You will be able to make purchases from the Occasions Catalog and earn free products from the Sale-A-Bration brochure beginning Tuesday, Jan 6th!!!!

Basic Swallowtail Butterfly

Hi there and happy Monday!  Hope you all had a happy holiday!  Can you believe we're almost at the end of another year?  The year flew by!
Yesterday I mentioned that I'd  have a sample from Club.  It is similar to a post from this past summer but an image from the new 2015 Occasion Catalog was incorporated into the mix.  The out-of-the-box technique shown in Dawn Griffith's video is one that I felt the girls would like to learn.  You can view her video HERE.  The background was made by stamping the fern image from Butterfly Basics.  This is a new set appearing in the 2015 Occasions Catalog, which goes live January 6.  (You are gonna love this new catalog!)
Must get going since the granddaughter is still here.  Thanks for coming by for a visit today!

Ornamental Christmas

Hi there!  Popping in real quick with a Christmas card that was on our Card Buffet display board. Yep, Christmas will be here before you know it!  Debbie Henderson's card was the inspiration for mine.  You can see her card here (scroll down to June 30th post).  A few changes were made, making it my own.  The embossed layer and ornament were enhanced by swiping Silver Encore ink across them, highlighting the raised areas. 
Must scoot to go have lunch with my granddaughter for a Grandparents Day celebration that her school is hosting.  Thanks for stopping in today!
