Happy Birthday to one of my bestest friends ever!  I got to spend a little time with one of my BFF 's this weekend and treated her to a hand made gift certificate for a new stamp set of her choice from the 2012-2013 Stampin' UP! Idea Book and Catalog.  The gift certificate was inside the fun card below. 

The new catalog ships out today and products will be available for purchase June 1st.   I'd love to do a show for you! Contact me today and we'll get one scheduled!

It's spring time and we all know what that means...new babies!!!  One of my husband's co-workers just had a sweet new baby boy, so I just had to make them a card.  The set I used is one of the very first Stampin' UP! sets I ever bought, which means it is a retired set and no longer available.  Still fun to use some of those old sets and create new cards.

It's A Boy!
