When I saw the First Edition specialty designer series paper in the new Occasions Mini, I wanted it. I think it was the color combination of Black and Very Vanilla that first caught my eye. So now I have it and I am not so sure about what I want to do with it. I did come up with this card. I distressed the First Edition paper with some tearing and Crumb Cake ink, but after that I am lost. I will be waiting to see card/scrapbook page samples other people create so that I can make good use of this very nice paper. Have a great day and find yourself a little stampin' time.

Definitely Winter
Snowy, cold and windy~~definitely wintertime in Chicago! And in keeping with the snow theme, I made this card. I stamped with versamark on glossy white cardstock and then sponged with Not Quite Navy, Concord Crush and Bashful Blue inks. The Shimmery white snowflake is one of the many that are on the Sizzix Northern Frost Decorative Strip. And now that I am looking at the card, I think the center of the snowflake needs a little gem or some dazzling diamonds glitter. Have a nice evening and keep warm!

First Letter Press Cards
Here are two quick cards I made using the Lots of Love letterpress plate. A lettepress plate is similar to the SU texture plates for the Big Shot, but it debosses rather than embosses. You apply ink to the plate prior to layering the cardstock on it, use the proper sandwich an
d run it thru your Big Shot. This particular letterpress plate is available in the current Holiday mini and will also be available in the new mini which will be 
effective beginning January4th. On the first card shown, I used Pink Pirouette Ink on the plate and then debossed on white cardstock. On the second card, I used versamark ink on the letterpress plate and debossed on Melon Mambo cardstock. I need to make a few more items using a Letterpress plate before I decide that the Letterpress plates are something I definitely need more of, but so far I am rather liking it. Keep warm and find yourself a little stampin' time.

Happy Birthday, Mom
Today's card 
was made for a very special person in my life--my mom. She is 80 years old--which is unbelievable. I used retired paper which I stocked up on when it was first introduced as I couldn't get enough of this particular Baja Breeze pattern paper. And I used the cute little scalloped envelope die which I sometimes forget I have. So, Happy Birthday, Mom--and have a wonderful day.
