Great News, Products and Announcements!

I hope that everyone had a great weekend. I sure did! I finally received the all clear from my doctor – I am off of bed rest! Thank goodness – I really was about to climb the walls from boredom, lol! And I didn’t waste any time. I headed straight for JoAnn’s! Ok, I know, but I hadn’t had my shopping fix in quite a while, so please forgive me :-)!  I got a new paper stack from K&Company – Tim Coffey Fall. It has 16 cardstock quality patterned papers, 2 embossed papers, 2 frothed papers, and 4 foiled papers. All are beautiful double sided patterned papers. I also got the matching 4x6 mat pad.

I plan on making a mini book with these. I’ll post photos when it’s finished. And the DCWV Black Currant stack is now a part of my paper stash! (Thanks, Sylvia!)

You have to see this paper to really appreciate the vibrant color and texture of the embossed foil. A clear stamp set by TPC Studio called Falling Leaves also jumped into my basket. I have no idea how that happened!?!? It is a value pack that includes not only the clear stamp sheet but also a sheet with adhesive jewels and a sheet of rub-ons!

I can’t wait to try these on some cards and in the mini that I plan on making. Then I gave a private Circut class to two dear people – one an old friend (not as in age, lol) and one that is now a new friend (hey Michelle). We had a lot of fun and plan on getting together for a crop soon. Thanks guys!

I know that I probably overdid it this weekend but it feels so good to get back to crafting again.

Well I also have a few announcements to share with you this morning!
