It’s a Snow Day! My gang is all here and no one has to be anywhere today, so it will be a fun day. I am about to sneak off to my stamp room, but I thought I would share another card with you first.

I have a clean and simple card with a masculine touch for you today. This card uses the Puns From the Past set and the retired By Definition sets. As I said, simple!

Stampin’ Stuff

Stamps: Puns from the Past, Tiny Tags, By Definition (retired)
Ink: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso and Cherry Cobbler Classic Inks
Paper: Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla card stock
Fun Stuff: Big Shot and Circle die, Jewelry Tag punch, Linen Thread, Button, Pop Dots

If at first glance this picture looks like I was trying to set up a neat background or an embellishment montage, guess again. This is a lovely creation that my 2 year old grand baby made for me.

The tiny little micro beads are a nice touch.

She just loves all of my stamping things and has figured out that if she sneaks in my office and closes the door behind her, she can get a lot more accomplished. She has left me several nice works of art.
I came home from Stamp Camp the other night and she told me that “Papa fix it”. There was a nice little lock installed on my stamp room door. Now she can only create when Nana is in there.

The new Occasions Mini Catalog goes live today! Go check out all of the wonderful new stamps, dies, papers, buttons, fabrics and more! I love, love, love the new Sew Suite collection. The stamp set is adorable, but all of the coordinating trims, buttons, rub-ons and vintage pattern items are just to die for!

There are really great sets for Spring and Valentines, but I had to have all of the new embellishments and accessories like the red glitter paper, the vintage keys and trinkets, the new trim and new colors in our silky seam binding. OK, I had to have new sets, too I also had to have the new petal cone die, so many possibilities! Go on, go see all the goodies! I have provided a link below, but as always it will remain in my sidebar as long as the catalog is live.
