OnStage in London, Ontario was so much fun this past Saturday! We were given a brand new 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue (starts in June), saw new ink pads and colours (too many new favs!), created 4 projects (I'll share these later), celebrated Stampin' Up!'s 30th year with Chocolate cupcakes (I might of had 2 of them) AND now I have so many ideas!

I'm sharing half of my projects with you today and the other projects tomorrow! I made 15 projects in total with the new items that were sent to me. This is my second time as a display stamper and although it is stressful, it is so much fun!

Welcome to April's Global Stamping Friends Blog Hop! This month we are sharing projects featuring embellishments! Please make sure to visit everyone's blog posts to see all the wonderful projects.

Decided to start with the Hearts & Stars Elements. Then pulled out the Rhinestones and a piece of Painted with Love Speciality Designer Series Paper. Sometimes it is hard to make a card with one little object as the focal point! Sometimes I find that just grabbing something I haven't used in awhile, such as the Painted With Love specialty designer series paper can spark my creativity!

Tomorrow I'm attending Stampin' Up!'s OnStage event in London, Ontario!! I'm so excited to see new products, receive my copy of the 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue and hang out with so many other demonstrators!

Beautiful day for some scrapbooking and paper crafts! Thanks to all who joined us today!

I designed the card and pocket page for this month's Make & Takes:

In the second release of Sale-A-Bration there is this beautiful Springtime Foils Speciality Designer Series Paper! This paper is glossy with Gold Foil, Rose Foil and Silver Foil design. Place a $60 order before March 31 to receive this paper FREE!
I wanted to try out colouring this paper using alcohol in my Aquapainter instead of water. Used Lemon Lime Twist and my aquapainter to colour in the leaves of the vine paper. Then after it dried used a Sponge Dauber to rub colour over the rest of the piece of designer series paper.
