Goodbye Lucky Limeade & Pretty in Pink (FMS86)

In the Stampin' UP! world, it's very nearly the end of our current catalog.  It's an exciting time because there's new, fun and wonderful stuff coming, but I still have a few days to bid a fond farewell to some great products.  Say goodbye to Lucky Limeade and Pretty in Pink.  Not colors I used very often, but I am happy with how this card turned out.

My Favorite Stamp Set (PP145)

Hello Everyone!

I just keep going back to it.  It's my favorite stamp set.  Blue Ribbon.  Just when I think I won't use it again, I do.  Do you have a stamp set like that?  One that you keep going back too?

I really enjoyed the color challenge from the paper players this week.

I like how my little grad card turned out.  I have nearly 20 grads this year.  Very exciting!  My favorite stamp set and some beautiful colors.  What do you think?

Stamp Set: Blue Ribbon

Card Stock: Gumball Green, Midnight Muse, Raspberry Ripple, Whisper White

Ink: Midnight Muse Classic Ink

Accessories: Chevron Embossing Folder, Rhinestone, Raspberry Ripple Ribbon

Label Love & Soho Subway, A Match Made for me to LOVE! (FabFri17)

Hello Friends!

The sketch from Fab Friday is so much fun!

I knew immediately that I wanted to try out some new products I just received from my pre-order.  I began with the new Soho Subway designer series paper, and I was immediately in LOVE!  The colors and style of this paper are just 'so me'.  I added a birthday greeting from the new stamp set, Label Love and I think I just might give this card to myself, because tomorrow is my birthday!  What do you think?  Do you see the ampersand?

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Label Love

Paper: Summer Starfruit, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Soho Subway designer series paper

Ink: Early Espresso

Accessories: Artisan Label, Modern Mosaic impressions folder; Very Vintage designer buttons, Early Espresso stitched grosgrain ribbon

I hope you can spot all the new products!  They will be available beginning May 31.

NEW Simply Pressed Clay (MOJO291)

Hello Friends!

I had fun playing along with the sketch from MojoMonday!

I really had a great time experimenting with the NEW Simply Pressed Clay!  This fun new product will be available in the next new Stampin' UP! Catalog.

First, I used Regal Rose ink refill to dye the clay.  Then, I just pressed the clay into the Buttons & Blossoms Mold (also available in the next new catalog.)  I let the clay dry over night, then I used it for the focal point of this fun summery card!  I had fun!  I hope you have fun with the clay too! 

Supplies:
Stamp Set:  NONE!  (what?  so surprising!)
Paper: Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Gingham Garden DSP (Available May 31), Creped Filter Paper

'Random' is the New Black!

HELLOOOO, Stalkers!  Don't freak...it IS a new post, but it maybe the only new one for a while because we are ALL about being RANDOM!

As a result of some recent events involving crazy people, I have come to the conclusion that Random is the New Black.

PrissE's Top 10 Random Rants --

10.  Today I have pedi-chair-hair...but my toes look lovely and it's time to rock the flip flops (the Glass Slipper of the South)!

9.  I'm 41 years old.  I've taught children to spell over the course of a lot of years.  I've 'urned' the privilege to spell creatively when I want...auto-correct that, iPhone!

8.  For more people than I realized, 'priorities' are not the 'new black.'

7.  Sometimes, teachers are stoopid (it's my privalige privledge freedom)!

6.  My new favorite bumper sticker is :  EAT RICE.  Potatoes Make Your Butt Big.

5.  Eating party food for lunch and watching the episode of Outlaw Empires about the Crips...it's what we 'high society' housewives do...when we're not at yoga or all day happy hours.

4.  I was somewhat productive today.  I grocery shopped, wrote this post, and did some research...on 'sizzurp'...but only because I realized that I currently possess the key ingredient!  Maybe Mr. Analytical was right.  Chemistry really isn't my bag...who knew prescription meds made majorly potent mixed drinks!?!?

3.  If I don't text you back between the hours of Noon and 1:00, don't take it personally.  I've decided I'm 'Union.'  I'm only taking my legally afforded lunch break.

2.  I'm righteously thankful that I don't have pregnant-lady-nose.  If you've never been pregnant, you won't get this one...but beware...if you get pregnant, you and W.C. Fields will look like twinkies!

...and my number one random-rant for the day is.......

1.  I FINALLY wrote a post!!!!  GO, ME!  GO, ME!!

Footnote -- 27(because today, we choose randomly)
