Baby Shower pics and cards!

My wonderful friends gave me a baby shower a week or so a go! I am so fortuante and greatful to have such wonderful friends! It was very appricated and a great time! No baby yet for us but it will happen next week, weather I have her on my own or they induce me. There is light at the end of the tunnel! I thought I would share some pictures with you though, while I have the energy to do so!! The first is obviously me but the others are some of the awesome cards I rec! The first one with the bear are my thank yous, the giraffe were the invitations, the second card was made by my friend Heather S. She used 2 new colors I would have never put together for a baby card but I LOVED! Groovy Guava & Wild Wasabi using the I'm Here stamp set and some of the new rhinestone brads! The next was made by my other Friend Melissa W., she used the new set Year Around fun, and she used another color combo I would have never used on a baby card but LOVED it too! She used Ruby Red & Pretty in Pink! The last one was made by my other friend Anne M. She used the new level 3 Hostess Simply Scrappin kit! It uses the new color Purely Pomegranate.

New Set Samples!

As promised here are some sample for you with new catalog sets! I love all the new sets and accessories! Esp the new ribbon which just arrived on Friday, can't wait to play with it! These are 3 of the samples we did at the New catalog open house earilier in the month.
*1st card uses new colors too! The base is one of the new in colors Bayou Blue and use a new all occasion set Year After Year(pg 57 new catalog) We also used the faux stiching techinque on this card.
*2nd card uses the new in color Purely Pomegranate and a new level 2 Hostess only stamp set called In the Spotlight (pg 20). This is an awesome set, you can use the new scalloped punch (pg 183) to punch it out. This punch is a must have in my opinion! It works well on it's own or there are a ton of stamp sets it will punch images out like the one from In The Spotlight. LOVE IT!!
*3rd card uses a new level 3 Hostess Only stamp set/wheel combo. Yep, that is right, there are wheels in the Hostess choices now! The set and Wheel can be found on Pg 24 and is called All about Occasions Bundle, you rec a set of 4 stamps and 2 jumbo wheels(called All about Birthdays and All about Gratitude) Really awesoem for scrapbooking and cards!
*** I hope to be sharing more with you and get some classes & camps scheduled soon. I am waiting to see when the baby is going to come before I do so. I am scheduling workshops for September, I will be ready to share lots of Halloweeen, Fall & Christmas Ideas with you! I just got the new "Batty for You" stamp set on Friday and I can't wait to play with it! I love Halloween!!
