Happy Saturday & L’il Scrappers GOT KIT reveal, & & Card Patterns #23, & Stamp Shoppe Grand Opening!!

Good morning ladies..  I hope everyone had a good night! This is a long post… so get comfy!

My night was ok, I managed to get my Gallery Idol card done for the Top 15 (i’ll probably try another one) then just talked on the phone to a friend for a while and chatted on msn with a few friends. Mya didn’t have a good night, her fever spiked and was burning hot… So I was up with her from 4-6:30 am when she finally fell asleep for a couple hours. Before that I didn’t sleep ’cause Dh got home from the KISS concert at Bayfest and we were talking for a while, he bought me a concert tshirt and I love it!!  It’s a PINK KISS concert t-shirt!! How awesome is that?! My fave colour!! lol! He’s gone tonight too, to see Stone Temple Pilots & Our Lady Peace. Not really my cup of tea… i’d rather see Brad Paisley or the scrumptious Tim McGraw! YUM! lol!!! I do love KISS however, would like to have seen them, but with 4 kids… not so easy to get out for a night! lol!! So that was my night, I did catch an hour sleep this am… but I have a feeling that’s not gonna hold me over.. lol!

Anyways.. today I have my reveal for our L’il Scrappers July GOT KIT!! Take a peek at our kit… love it!!!

Our kit features Scrap Within Reach paper, rub-ons, cardstock monograms, & ribbon Bo’ Bunny chipboard arrows, Basic Grey Gems, & Daisy D’s Rubs,!! This kit will be up for pre-order later on today! 

I made 3 12×12 LO’s with this kit and 4 cards… still have more to play with, so you’ll see this paper again!

Now.. when you read the title on this Lo as “To Die For”… i am SOOO not kidding around!! These cookies are possibly the BEST cookies you will EVER try in your entire life!! My mom made these and I fell in lust… they are sooooo delicious & perfect in every way!!! They are called Martha Stewart Carrot Cake cookies.. NOT low-fat, NOT low-calorie, just heaven in a cookie!! Try them.. you’ll LOVE them! Trust!

Ok… enough gushing about cookies.. haha!! Now to my cards…

And there you have it!! I hope you enjoyed my reveal!

Now i’m super excited to tell you that one of my best buds, Heidi has officially opened her new Stamp Shoppe featuring Magnolia stamps!!  There is also a Stamp Shoppe blog where you have a chance to participate in this months card sketch challenge and WIN this adorable Magnolia stamp!!!! Heidi’s Magnolia stamp prices are AWESOME!! I’ve seen most Magnolias go for $14-15 in Canada… (OUCH!!!), so it’s a real treat to get competitive pricing!! Her prices are competive with US pricing, and knock Canadian pricing out of the water in my “not so humble” opinion… lol!!

I’m so excited for Heidi!! Also another wonderful friend is on Heidi’s DT, the amazingly talented Ila… she is such a talented artist, and if you’re a stamper i’m sure you must have been to her blog!!! If not, head on over now to take a peek at her gorgeous work & get a coupon code for placing an order today!!

Ok.. now onto Card Patterns!! Boy, what a LONG post today.. hope you’re still with me! haha!!! This weeks sketch is #23 and we paired up with ShortCuts!! Most of you probably know i’m on the DT for ShortCuts also, so it’s kinda cool to pair them both up!

Here’s my card:

Materials: Stampin’ Up paper, Creative Imaginations Ribbon, Twine, Martha Stewart Double Dot Punch, Bread tag (forget who makes these.. MAMBI???)  

Well that’s all for today ladies! I’ll be back tomorrow with a Magnolia Card and perhaps a coupon code for you too .. so make sure to stop over again!! Have a fabulous Saturday!!!
