Stampin' Royalty Challenge #75

I had a lot of fun with this card even though I left it to the VERY last minute!  I was really hoping that my Best Dad Ever stamp set would arrive in time to make my card for Stampin' Royalty this week as the theme is anything celebrating Father's:)  Unfortunately, it doesn't arrive until today and that was a little late:)  Anyway, I went on My Digital Studio and printed off the sentiments and ties on Very Vanilla cardstock.  I love how it turned out and how the Woodland Park DSP just finished off that whole masculine look!  I even had a few 6" square chocolate chip envelopes left over from my first year as a demo when they were part of the Carousel Notes:)

 Don't forget about the fabulous promotions that I have on this month:

• I have a wood mount set of the amazing WORD PLAY stamp set for the first person to join my team this month!

Quick Non-Stamping Related Share

Much as I would have loved to have an MDS page ready for you today of this b-day picture, I was just too exhausted when I got home lastnight to work on it.  As you can see here, Joe and his cousin had a joint birthday party with all their friends.  Joe insisted on a "Club Penguin" cake for those of you who know what that is... on the other hand, my niece requested a Canucks cake... it definitely didn't help the Canucks though:)

On another note, Debbie Freeman won her choice of my give-a-way stamp sets:)  Congrats Debbie!  Please contact me with your choice!

New Digital Downloads Sneak Peek!

Yet another advantage to being part of my West coast Creator group of demonstrators is our ability to see sneak peeks of the fabulous new Stampin' Up products that are soon to be released.  This "Noteworthy" set is STUNNING!  Do you see the new Pool Party In Colour?  It is the background page colour.  I'm sure many of you Stampin' Up demos out there are trying to figure out how I was able to use it as a colour on its own as those downloads have not been released to us yet, I simply used the colour picker on the DSP and added it to my favourites!  If you'd like to join my AMAZING group of West Coast Creators, we'd love to have you!  (hobby demos are welcome!)  I have a wood mount set of the amazing WORD PLAY stamp set for the first person to join my team this month!

I have yet another special for you today... order $40+ in product and earn yourself one of the new In Colour classic stamp pads for free when the new catty launches in just three and a half weeks!  If you place an $80 order with me, you'll be able to choose two stamp pads... and so on...  You can choose to place your order online through my online website or contacting me via phone or email.  If you place your order online, simply email me your new colour selection:)  My Digital Studio online orders are included in this!

My Digital Studio

Triple Take...

I was finally able to sit down and play with some of my new products lastnight!  The Stampin' Around Wheel and My Friend stamp set are both from the upcoming catalogue!  It was so much fun to test out the new In Colours that are being added as of July 1st!  I used my new Colour Coach addition to pair them with colours:)  You'll notice that on the blue tone card, both colours that I used were In Colours!  Calypso Coral was the only colour without a suggested pairing so I'll have to create something new with that today... that is after I get the boys haircuts, make Joe's birthday cake for his party tomorrow, go shopping for my niece, attend another niece's birthday party, and create my Stampin' Royalty sample for this week's challenge ... okay, let's be serious, it may not happen today!
