Lovely!

Here's some really cool news for my digital scrappers out there...

As fabulous as Walt Disney World was when it's being brought to you by Stampin' Up!, it's still wonderful to be home.

I can't wait to start scrapping our 2012 album as soon as I get some downtime (ha!) - the trick will be to decide on what colour/scheme DSP to choose as I go? Oh, woe is me... 

I have many a wonderful SU thing to be sharing with you from our trip, but for now there's a lot of laundry and unpacking to be finished first.

 Until then, my friends!
 

Watch as Carrie from the the Stampin' Up! Home Office teaches you how to use Stampin' Up!'s Simply Scored tool and new Adorning Accents Edgelits Die to create a fun card holder.

The "You're A Gem" stamp set is one of many retiring this year...be sure to get it while you can!

We took the Upsy Daisy image up a notch when we embossed it with Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder on this card.

The layered pieces of designer series paper act as a beautiful background and vintage trinket buttons embellish with ease.

This stamp set of 4 images, with its variety of greetings and classic daisy silhouette image, is an excellent gift for the daisy connoisseur.

It’s versatile enough to create multiple adorable cards and lends itself beautifully to all kinds of decorative possibilities.
