It’s been a busy few weeks so my blog posting had been pushed aside.  In addition to enjoying some travel, I’m been playing in my craft room with my new Stampin’ Up! “toys” and having so much fun!  My problem was starting one project, then starting another before finishing the first! Once the creativity started, the ideas kept flowing. Can you relate? The great news is projects did get completed so look for regular posts sharing project ideas with you.

The recently released 2022-2023 Annual Catalog is full of exciting, fun products and my wish list is long.  In the upcoming card class, the focus of projects is on the new 2022-2024 In Color Collection.  For today’s post, I’m sharing a class sample featuring the Orchid Oasis 2022-2024 In Color.
