Here is a Sneak Peak at the 2014 Holiday Catalog. Let me just tell you that this catalog is AWESOME!!! I want it all. It has everything you need for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. There is even some stuff for Hanukkah.
I am finally getting back down to business after taking a day off to celebrate 20 years with my new slightly used heart. My hubby and I went out to The Carousel Bar down in New Orleans after my annual doctors appointment. He then took me to lunch at Criollo. I had a wonderful evening planned for us to stay at the Southern Hotel which had just recently been remodeled; but I ended up sick from being in the ER a few nights earlier.
Let me just say it really sucks when the lab can not do their job. I had blood drawn early Monday morning on the 18th, but the lab evidently didn’t do the tests for several hours. One of my transplant doctors called me at about 7 PM that evening saying my potassium was 7.9, which is lethal. This caused me to have to go to the ER and have labs redrawn. It was not that high, labs verified that. While in the ER, I evidently picked up something that made me sick with a 24 hour flu bug. I am happy to say I feel better and hubby and I will just have to have a REDO on another day.
Here is some of the first things that I have done with the items that I have, while getting ready for the WoodCrop going on September 4th through 6th. This catalog will go live August 28th.
Be on the look out for more project being done with items from the new catalog.

Using the Thump method for the Merry in this card came out lovely. I love how the DSP works so well for a bit of sparkle. I love how the Vanilla Shimmer made the Pear Pizzazz tree just kind of softened the edges and gave the color a sort of brown look to it. My picture here just does not do it justice.
The Thump method is where you take a light color and cover the stamp completely and then take darker colors and “thump” through the stamp with the stampin write marker on the paint side. This brings out a multicolored stamped image.
