New Stuff
My favorite new stamp set is Circle Circus. I've had my eye on this set ever since the Australian catalog came out and I spotted it in there. I held my breath hoping that not only would it make it into the US catalog, but also that it would be available as a pre-order for demonstrators. My wish came true, and this set was the first thing I ordered....along with all the new In Colors! This is the first time I've ever liked them all, and I've been having fun playing with them. So, here are a couple of samples featuring all the new colors plus my new favorite stamps:

New Catalog!
It's here, and it's fabulous! The new In-Colors are so pretty! I'll get some projects posted soon. I'll have catalogs for club members at our July club, but if you're anxious to see it, click here.
May Club Projects
I'm only two months behind...no big deal! These are the two projects that we made at our May stamp club.
The first is this card that uses the Great Friend stamp set. I love this set, can you tell? I'm so glad it's going to be in the new catalog!
card stock/paper: Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Kraft, Walk in the Park (sorry, it's retired)
ink: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Very Vanilla (craft ink)
accessories: Chocolate Chip 1/4" grosgrain ribbon, linen thread, matchbox die & Big Shot, Stamp-a-ma-jig, paper piercer, scallop edge punch
Next is this 12x12 scrapbook page. The layout isn't mine...I used one from pagemaps. It's a great place to find fantastic scrapbook page layouts when you're having trouble being creative!

card stock/paper: Cameo Coral, Basic Gray, Whisper White, Walk in the Park DSP
ink: Cameo Coral, Basic Gray
stamps: Contempo Alphabet, Great Friend
accessories: Beautiful Butterflies & Big Shot, scallop edge punch, stampin' dimentionals
The large picture is 4x6, and the small pictures are 2x2 and 2x3. To get the fainter look of the leaves behind the title, I just stamped the image once, and then stamped again without reinking. It's an easy way to get a really pretty look.

Great Friend
I love the new Great Friend stamp set from the mini catalog! This butterfly is so pretty. I also used the Big Shot and the Beautiful Butterflies die to make the bigger butterfly. Then I ran it through my Big Shot again using the texturz plates to get the raised polka dots. Other supplies I used: scallop edge punch, old olive 1/4" ribbon (this is actually a discontinued ribbon, but the current grosgrain ribbon would work nicely!), Sahara Sand, and Eggplant Envy card stock (this is the retired eggplant color...I needed to use it up...the current Elegant Eggplant would be so much prettier!!!) I also used the Walk in the Park Designer Series Paper from the mini. This isn't the greatest picture, but this was a fun and easy card to make!

Mojo Monday
I've been wanting to start doing the Mojo Monday challenges for a long time, but never quite seem to do it. Last week I went a little crazy, and did three of them. I wanted to showcase SU's Designer Series Paper in each of them. I've used Juntas, Bella Rose, and Candy Lane, all of which are currently in the catalog or Spanish supplement (and anyone can order from it!) Ideally, I'd do the current week's challenge and actually post it in time, but for now, here's what I've managed:
In this card I've used the Beautiful Butterflies die for the Big Shot, along with the new scallop oval punch and Matchbox Messages and Great Friend stamp sets from the new mini...which I LOVE!
This one also uses Great Friend. I love that set, can you tell? That butterfly is great!
Again, I used the Beautiful Butterflies die and Great Friend, and my favorite accessory, Chocolate Chip ribbon. Clearly I was on a butterfly kick this week :)

Matchbox Candy Dressers
These cute little dressers are filled with candy...I'm giving them to my kid's teachers at church as a thank you for serving this semester. Not the greatest picture, I know, and I should have shown the insides...two drawers have M&Ms and the other two have Hershey Nuggets.
