New Catalogue

The new catalogue is here!!! This edition is once again filled with lots of new stamp sets, punches, papers, ribbons and accessories. One of the first things I noticed as I was going through this catalogue was that 99% of the prices are lower than in the last catalogue. And even more exciting is that the prices listed are inaccurate. Let me explain – When Stampin’ Up! decided on the prices in this catalogue it was back in August and was based upon the strength of our dollar then. But due to the fact that our Canadian dollar has strengthened so much more Stampin’ Up! has implemented a 7% price reduction from the prices listed in the catalogue. Stampin' Up! has provided a sheet with the adjusted Canadian Prices, click here to see a copy of this price sheet.

December is Over!

December has been a crazy month for me, I am so happy that is it over and hopefully life will settle down a little. As a Christmas present to my in-laws I made up scrapbooks for each family within the family. There was one page dedicated to each couple and a page dedicated to each kid. I had previously asked the family members some questions about their likes and dislikes, and put the questions and asnwers together for this album. The first page in the album had the title "Getting to know the Smith Family." I did four albums with 11 pages in each. It took me alot longer than I thought it would, but it was so worth it. The family members loved it when they opened them on Christmas. I told them that I would update the album every few years as we all grow older and our thoughts and opinions change. This is a sample of one of the pages that I did, it is me and my husband Andrew.

Christmas Cards

I am excited to say that I have finally finished all my Christmas cards and they will be going out the mail tomorrow. Here's a group picture of the cards I did:
