It's kind of funny how when you look through a new catalog, certain things jump right off the page and you KNOW that you NEED to purchase them.

CONVERSATION BUBBLES is one of those bundles I knew I would want to have on have for not only card making but also for my scrapbooking. (item #160637)

I have had a lot of fun playing with this set

I love to make scrapbook pages of our pups! This one is our youngest, Tori. Tori is actually 6 weeks pregnant with her first litter. We cannot wait to see the cute pups that she will have.

Another great product for scrapbooking is the ALPHABET ALA MODE DIES (item #160750)

This card is a slim line card - these cards will fit in any A10 size envelope or you can create your own envelope with a good quality printer paper, but Stampin' Up! does sell some really nice slimline envelopes (item #157981) in three colors: Smoky Slate Soft Succulent and White.

I created the shadow areas by using the negative portion of card stock that I cut the word bubbles from and then sponged some color using it like a stencil.

This little treat was made using the MINI POCKET ENVELOPE DIES (item #159167)

You not only get the die for the envelope treat but you get al these bonus dies: a bow, a leaf, tags, etc.

For the display at the Mid-Winter Retreat I added a couple Merci Chocolates inside (henceforth the "yum" and "sweet"!!

This is a card that I posted in an earlier blog post. It's the Valentines Card that I made for my daddy!

This last card is one that the ladies will make at an upcoming Tuesday class

Inspired by Brenda (no blog) Here are the measurements that I came up with (since I had no tutorial)
