On a SU! note ... IT CAME!!! I received my demonstrator copy of the 2007-2008 Fall Idea Book and Catalog today! There is a lot of new stuff, and it is gorgeous! Yes, some of the prices went up ... but that's life! Everything else has gone up, I don't know how we can expect to spend 12 bucks for a stamp set forever!! I will say that I haven't spent a ton of time on SCS in the forums this week ... I kind of want to form my own opinion of things ... so I will let you know what I think as I spend more time with my new best friend! The one thing that I really notice is that the samples in the catalog appeal to me more than in prior years ... I may actually CASE things straight from the catalog! I also think that I am going to hold off on ordering until I go to St. Louis for A*Muse*A*Palooza - I want to have every available resource available for my A Muse purchases first!!

SWAP-A-RAMA #2
I have received 2 amazing sets of swaps in the last couple of days- one from Katie and one from Sarah! I really think that my favorite part of this competition has been meeting so many super cool stampers ... I am surrounded by greatness!! A*Muse*A*Palooza rocks!! I am going to try to get a decent picture tomorrow so everyone can see how amazingly talented these people are!! Check back!!
Challenge #9 - card #2
So, this cute bella is for Emily's little sister, Gabi (their birthdays are a week apart!) Gabi just turned 15, and is in the midst of all that teenage angst! Oh, I can hardly wait for mine to be 15! Yep, I wiped her butt, too! Still feeling old ...! I'm really getting sick of this patterned paper - need to move the scraps off my desk!

Challenge #9 - card #1
Here's a quick card I did for my friend Emily - Happy Birthday, Em! I used to babysit her ... now she's 20!! I'm really old! I'm pleased with how it turned out - again it would be better if I took a pic - you could see that it is one of those cute tent cards and the bella stands up ... oh well - you get it, right?!

Challenge #9 is UP!
Did you see challenge #9 over at the AMAP blog?? Besides being an awesome challenge, the prize is an amazing assortment of stamps! I was kind of lukewarm on the whole golf theme (I think it's related to having an ex who worked in the golf industy and having the golf channel on while I was in labor with my son 'cause he wanted it ... sorry, I digress!), anyway - I think the stamps are super cute and they can come live at my house anytime!! My goal is 5 cards for this challenge!! Nothing like Miss Katie, but hey, it's something!!

Ambassador Winner announced!
Lucky Kristina is a WINNER, WINNER, WINNER! I am so happy for her! She won an awesome prize pack just for being an ambassador! I have to say that my favorite part of being in this AMAP ambassador competition has been getting to know some new stamping friends! It has been so neat to read some new blogs, get new ideas, get to know new people ... I love it! I've always known that the "stamping community" is full of awesome, friendly people - it's just great to get to know more of them better! What I'm trying to say is "Thanks for being so cool, stamping friends!" And congrats to Kristina!!
