Happy Monday and Happy Memorial Day! I know that my customers are smart people, so I'm sure I don't need to remind any of you about Memorial Day. As we all know, Memorial Day is not just a day for shopping some good sales, or having a barbecue with friends, but a day to remember those who died in service to our country. I hope each of us will take some time out today to contemplate the sacrifices that were made to keep our country free.
Today I've got a fun sneak peek for you. With just a few days left before the new Stampin'Up! catalog goes live at noon on June 1st, I thought I would show you a card I made with two of my favorite new colors, Granny Apple Green and Mango Melody. In addition, I used a wonderful new stamp set called Abstract Impressions (page 129 of the new catalog). I know you cannot look this up in your new catalog just yet, but be assured that you will be getting your catalog on June 9th when you attend my big garage sale at Kelly Bauman's house in Sherwood.
Check out this clean and simple card...
I just love the flowers on this card, and these are just a few of the many flower images that you'll get in the Abstract Impressions set. I'm sorry it doesn't show up better, but the Granny Apple Green card stock is embossed with the Basket Weave embossing folder. The leaves are stamped in Lemon Lime Twist and the flowers are stamped in So Saffron and Mango Melody. Because this is a photopolymer set, it is easy to line up the two layers of the flowers. Aside from all of the flower images, this set also has 5 sentiments, making it even more versatile.
I'm going to close out the May Host Code order on Wednesday, May 30th at 8pm, so if you'd like to be entered into the May Host Code drawing for a $25 gift certificate, please use this code YAAWUDKD. An online order of any amount gets your name in the drawing. BUT WAIT... if you place an online order of $50 or more using the code, you'll get FREE SHIPPING. I will mail you a check to reimburse you for your shipping, but you must use the code to qualify for free shipping.
Enjoy the holiday today and may the week ahead bring only good things your way!

I love this card. I enjoyed making all the cards in the monthly group. I have already used two items and they were a big hit. So excited to be stamping again after my 6 year break. My biggest problem is deciding what to buy, since I can't afford the entire catalog....and thank you for remembering what memorial day is truly about. I know it can sonetimes get lost in all the activity.
