Inkerbelle's Get Together Tonight

Hi all. Well tonight we are have a demo get together for our demonstrator group. All the demos in my immediate up and downline are going so it will be nice to be able to meet some of the other demos in our upline. We will be making cards using the some new catalog sets as well as the upcoming Sale-A-Bration sets. I will post all the cards we make here for you to see. I am also hoping to get some stuff made tomorrow - *fingers crossed*. So I may actually have even more to share. Until then, I thought I would share a card I did a while back to show my gals how to use rub-ons. This actually turned out to be one of my more favorite cards. To me it is simple, yet elegant.




Ingredients:

• So Saffron, Kiwi Kiss, and Confetti White Cardstock
• Chocolate Chip Ink
• Hidden Garden Rub-Ons
• Kiwi Kiss Satin Ribbon
• Cute & Curly Stamp Set
• Curly Label Punch

Hi peeps! I have an exciting announcement from Stampin' Up! this morning. From February 1-April 30, 2009, we're introducing new customers to Stampin' Up! by promoting our award-winning Idea Book & Catalog. To receive a free Spring-Summer 2009 Idea Book & Catalog, simply place an online order during the promotional period via my website.
