New Furniture

Wednesday we received our new sofa and love seat. I'm pretty excited about them. First of all, my husband has been complaining since we moved to our current home about how we don't have enough places to sit. Now, I don't really think its a matter of how we didn't have enough places to sit as much as he didn't have enough room to spread out on a full size sofa. However, I do have to agree we needed more seating. Our previous furniture was bought for a smaller living room and that came with us when we moved. Our current living room is much larger. So after over a year and half, we bit the bullet and got new furniture. Here are some pictures. I plan to get new accent pillows. The ones shown came with the sofa's and are just a little boring with all that green.

Oh yeah...we got a new end table too.

Close up of the fabric....love it!

Delicate Dots & Polka Dot Punches

Here's a card I made using the Delicate Dots DSP, Polka Dot Punches Stamp Set, Ribbon Bundle (Certainly Celery Poly Twill) Chit Chat Rub-Ons, and my Big Shot Scallop Circle Die. I also used my flower punch that matches the flower stamp in the set. In fact, all of the stamps in this set can be used with one of the SU!'s punches.

This stamp set, paper and the ribbon is all available in the Sale-A-Bration catalog that will start on Sunday, February 1st. I will have a link to the catalog posted on Sunday, but if you would like a hard copy of the catalog, just let me know...they're free! And of course you can always access it from my online store. Remember, when you make a $50 from the Idea Book and Catalog, you get one of any of the sets FREE from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. And for every $50 you spend after that, you get another set FREE and so on. Sounds like a pretty awesome deal.

I'm going to be posting examples of each set in the coming days and weeks.

Don't forget to post a comment by midnight tonight for your chance to win the Blog Candy.

Wow Flower Thank You's

Here are some Thank You's I whipped up really quick. I knew I wanted to keep them simple. As that will be how most things will need to be in the coming months (just 2 months left until Baby G #2 arrives). I also wanted to use my Wow Flower set and I wanted some fun colors.

Forget-Me-Not-Keeper Class Part 2

Good Morning!

Last night was the second half of the Forget-Me-Not-Keeper Class. Here are the cards that the ladies made. Again, I think everyone had a great time.

This class was purchased from Aly Schilling, the original idea for the cards in this class are hers. I did modify a couple of them to work with the stamps that I had. Stop by her blog, she has some wonderful ideas.
