Crushed Curry ... Never More Than a Thought Away

Here's another Kwik & Kool card that uses Crushed Curry cardstock... I absolutely love this color and am going to miss it greatly.

You see - Crushed Curry is one of the colors on the Last Chance lists.

Do you love it too?  If so, there are only a few short days left before it's gone for good!

Start shopping today to grab your fave's before June 30. 

LAST CHANCE ITEMS - ENDS JUNE 30!!

On this card, you'll also catch a sneak peek into one of the Hostess Level 1 stamp sets, called Because I Care.  The image in the upper left is from that set and I used the pretty border image 3 times to create a fun touch to this card.

The 2010 - 2011 Idea Book & Catalog will be posted on my blog, July 1 - so stay tuned for the release!  You are going to love what this catalog has to offer.  I am whittling down my big wish list and getting ready to order on July 1.

Are you getting excited?

Hearts in a Row

The other day, I had some fun with some of Stampin' Up!'s new colors. 

On this card I used Daffodil Delight, Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze, Marina Mist, and Early Espresso.

Butterfly Bouquet

I have long admired the many paper flower bouquets I've seen on the Internet.

Finally, with some recent purchases of the Big Shot, Beautiful Butterfiles Bigz Die, and Flower Folds Bigz XL die - I was able to create my own!

What do you think?

A cute coordinating chipboard box I found ... and look at what I created (below) to fit inside. 

These cute 3 x 3 cards fit perfectly inside my butterfly box.  LOVE IT!!
