Cling Mounted Stamps

Starting with the new rubber stamps in these new catalogs, Stampin' Up is finally offering cling mounted Stamps. YEAH!!!!!! I've been a big fan of cling mounted on acrylic blocks versus wood mounted stamps. It is easier to position the image on your work plus they take less storage space.

New Punch Design

Also starting with the new 2010 Occasions Mini Catalog and continuing with all new punch designs going forward, Stampin' Up has adopted a new body style for our punches!

The new Scallop Trim Border punch is available in the Sale-A-Bration catalog so you could earn it for free. We will be playing with this decorative punch my next playdate.

December make and takes

Normally on playdays I will do 3 make and takes. This month I only did 2, then we mass produced several cards to send to Operation Write Home Organization.

I love the sunrise in the background on this one. Finding the right sponge to work with makes doing it a lot easier. I use to use make up sponges, but it was hard getting pleasing results. I finally bought the sponges from Stampn' Up - much better results.
