SAB Share


If you are debating the clear-mount stamps, let me put it quite simply: GO FOR IT. I was skeptical as I've used contraband acrylic stamps at other peoples' homes and let's just say I didn't like them. At all. But I love, love, love SU!'s new CM stamps. Why? I don't have to sacrifice the rubber I love. Can I see where the exact image is stamping? Nope. Will I still need the stamp-a-ma-jig? I'll confess -- I used it to put the roof on the house, but mostly because upon closer examination, I did a poor job of placing the sticker on the roof stamp itself. For other images (phrases, for example), stamping them so they're straight is a breeze! I'm sold!

Materials: Good Neighbors stamp set, Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White card stock, Melon Mambo and Crushed Curry classic stampin' pads, Melon Mambo polka-dot ribbon, Big Shot, Scallop Circles #2 Bigz Die, SU! Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plates

Merry Christmas!

OK, this is from last year's photo shoot, but I just put this page together a few days ago and thought I share anyway! It's uber-simple, but I think it captures the JOY that's gushing out of my daughter...have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Beautiful Butterflies

I don't know how many of you purchased the Beautiful Butterflies Embosslits Die from the mini catalog, but I wanted to share this photo with you so you can see the intricate designs as well as how itty bitty the butterflies are. The butterfly on the top of the right-most column is the one with the vertical stripes.

Gotta' love it!



The new punch design is AWESOME! If you didn't work at least one of the new punches into your stamping budget, then you absolutely MUST do so! This scrapbook page shows off the Scallop Trim Border punch that is part of SAB. I will definitely be using this punch in my classes and workshops over the next three months. It won't take much to sell people on the redesigned punches...all you'll have to do is put one in their hands!
