Convention Swaps!

My last post of the night. Finally I started on convention swaps for this years trip........I have just about a month and it will be here before I know it. So, these are the first 25 Christmas Swaps i'm doing for an organized Holiday swap I am in.

July Scrapbooking Class Page Spreads

Today I used the new "Circle Circus" stamp set coming out July 1st in the new catalog. I just love this set! It will be the set we will use to make this 2 page 12x12 spread for the "July Croppin Class" on Saturday July 25th! Spots still open if you want to sign up!

Recipe: Real Red, pixie pink, and NEW Burmuda Bay cardstock. Pretty in Pink, Black, Real red, and burmuda bay ink.

New Catalog Creations

Today I have been creating away trying to get cards created using my new supplies from the new catalog. These 4 cards are using all the NEW In-Colors and are the cards we will be making at the "New Catalog Class" July 10th and 11th! Sign up today by emailing me at craftymelissa@sbcglobal.net

New In Color Creation

Finally I got around to making my first card using the NEW IN COLORS that will be out on July 1st. Here's a peak. We will also be making this card as one of the creations for the New Catalog Class on July 10th and 11th. This card is using the new In- Colors Dusty Durango, Crushed Curry, and Bermuda Bay. This is also a new Stamp set that will be in the new catalog as well. Hope you enjoy!

P.S. Sorry the card is sideways!
