Special KL SNS announcement

I just ordered some new stamps for the store that are available now as pre-orders, once they are sold out you will have to wait for the next order though. Pay now, and I will save one for you!! :) I only ordered six of each, so you may want to hurry and see what is there.

On their way . . .
Sarah Kay stamps -- Picnics of Daisies and Precious Moments
Lilo Designs -- Dragon Flower and Party Dragon
Rachele Ann Miller -- Giving Shelter and Birthday Monkeys

I leave you with a few more cards from my friends. Thank you all so much! I had such a lovely collection of cards to show off. Now I have them tucked away for safe keeping.
This one is from Chris my SBS4 sister . . .

This one is from Donelda my other SBS4 sister . . .

This one is from a local Stampin' friend Athena . . .

Thanks for stoppin' by!

Thank you, ladies!

A big thank you to everyone who remembered my birthday!! You helped to make today very special for me. :) Here is a group shot and a few close-ups. I hope to show you more this week when I have time to post again. Note: My camera was acting up this morning somewhat blurry -- bare with me.
Half of our kitchen table was covered in cards.

This sweet image from the It's My Birthday collection (C.C. Designs) was watercolored by Deb Corder in bright primary colors. The photos don't do it justice, as I think my focus was a bit off.

Another sweet image (Ginger Snaps collection from C.C. Designs) created by Kristine Breach a very dear friend to me and fellow DT member for KL SNS. Kristine always uses such amazing detail and lots of layers. Her cards are truly an inspiraiton to me. She is selling them now on Etsy too. Stop by her blog to get the link and take a look!!

This beautiful collection is from Jessica George a long-time friend, secret sister, and fellow DT member also. Jessica's goodie box was SO much fun to open. It was like Christmas. I kept pulling one thing, then another . . . a tablet and pen, matching tin with PB cups (mmm), bath flower confetti, a sweet Inkadinkadoo sentiment stamp, adorable Tilda images and very well coordinated set!! She is WAY too good to me! Hugs, Jess!!

This beautiful never-ending card has gotten a lot of attention since it entered our home earlier this week. Any friend or family member that has seen it was very much intrigued. Thanks, Eileen, for this very unique card. I will show more photos of this one later this week, too. It has about 4 scenes on it that I know you will love to see!! :)

The work week is a busy one, as I am training a couple of new girls and so that means conference calls on both Monday and Tuesday this week, so I hope to be back sometime before the end of the week to show you more closeups of some more of these cards. Stay tuned for more.

Hugs to you all! :)

A WHOLE ALPHABET?!!!

I have a whole alphabet of dies up for grabs, and only 11 players interested?!! Wow, you ladies surprise me!! :)

The Julius font is still up for grabs on our KL Stampin N Scrappin DT blog . . . hurry over there, because a winner will be chosen this weekend!! You have until April 11th (tomorrow) at 12m ET to get your creation made and your link to your blog on there. HURRY -- you don't want o miss it, do you? This set has all the alphabet and numbers 0-9!! It's a great set (heavy too for shipping). So go to the blog and check it out!!

For your enjoyment . . . a sneak peek of a new Tilda card. Details will be on the DT blog too. Check it out there tomorrow.

Hugs,

Here comes . . . Tilda and Edwin

I saw this cute little bunny in Tilda's arms and instantly the Peter Cottontail song pops into my head. Well, Easter is coming faster than you might think, and unfortunately this year I am not looking forward to it. This year Easter makes me another year older *sigh* that means another year closer to 40, but hey . . . this card is just too sweet to discuss depressing things like that, right?! *wink*

I fashioned this card from Lim's sketch that I saw on Kristine's blog, but then I moved the panels around a little bit more, so not sure it still qualifies for the sketch. Don't ya just hate to cover up that pretty DP? I know I do. The patterned pieces are all from an Easter pack that I purchased last year before Easter from Oriental Trading (I know, I know they are not from the KL SNS store but they do have some really nice paper for layering mind you, it is kinda thin).

Anyway . . . all of the layers are from that Easter pack except for the pretty in pink in the bg, which is Stampin Up. The yellow layer was run through my Textile cuttlebug folder, then sanded so the white would show through just a little bit, and placed under the paper pieced Tilda with bunny. We are currently sold out of this little cutie but you can order her again this weekend if you don't mind waiting on the order to go in. She won't be back in time for Easter, but I think the animals with Tilda could be used year round. I will surely plan to use mine all year.

Here is a closeup for a better look.

I couldn't make an Easter card with Tilda and not Edwin -- So here is Lucky Edwin used with the Easter Egg stamp to create an Easter card for a boy, too. I even decorated the inside of this one. Now I have to do that with the other one. *wink* I think they look so very nice with the inside matching the outside.



Card details: Lucky Edwin, Easter Egg, Two Scoops BG paper, bashful blue and ballet blue, embossed with tiny bubbles cuttlebug embossing folder, prismacolor pencils, gamsol, white gel pen by Signo, and Labels One and flourish accents from Spellbinders

Lastly, don't forget to stop by the store and see what has been added this weekend. I have quite a few Spellbinders sets available after the finally got here. Mostly because I ordered extras, and then I think I re-ordered a few of the back orders. Ahh well, who doesn't love those Spellbinders dies, although the wait usually kills me. The ones on the website that you see are available to ship now, so no extra wait time.

I have also added some of the new Butterfly collection stamps. If you don't see the one you are dying to have -- let me know, and I could possibly add it to the list. The smaller the selection, the more of that item I can get. I have to order in 6 of each stamp you gals (and/or guys) want, so let me know if you don't see it in the store -- if the "demand" of the crowd is reasonable, I can add it too. They are all so cute, unfortunately I can't just get one of each. Kinda like chips, who could anyway?! lol

Don't forget the April coupon code too -- APR2009 can be used on an order of $50 or more to receive free first-class shipping!

Hope you have a great weekend, are able to get inky, and have fun Stampin N Scrappin!!

Hugs,

What's new?!

What's new at KL Stampin N Scrappin, you might wonder?! Well . . . the Spellbinders dies (or at least MOST of them) are finally heading out the door. I am waiting on one small shipment to arrive tomorrow yet to finish up the orders, and that will be it for a while for Spellbinders' orders. Accck, it hasn't been fun at all. *sigh*

BUT . . . I plan to add the Magnolia Butterfly collection (by preorder only in the month of April) to the store for this weekend, and the month of April means new BasicGrey paper will be on its way, and FREE first-class shipping for orders of $50 and up when you apply the coupon code Apr2009. Here is a pretty spring-like image from a dear friend and stampin sistah, Kristine! :) Have I told you what a terrific design team I have?!! yep, I sure do!!! Thanks, again, Kristine!

Happy Stampin N Scrappin, everyone!!
