Out with the Old and In with the New.

Hello Stamping Friends,

I know it's been awhile since I have posted on a regular basis but I am hoping with school coming to a close that I will be able to do more posting and sharing with you. It's been a crazy busy year here at the Yurkanin household, a baby shower for my daughther, of course, the new baby, a son graduating high school and a son that is very active in travel soccer makes a busy, buys house. Never mind the mom that's been working almost everyday between school and workshops. With that said, I wouldn't change any of that. It's been great. I still have to finish graduation and a party but we will get it all done.

This time of year also brings along with all that some great excitement in the Stampin' Up! world. It is almost time for the new catalog to make it's debut. It's only a few short days away. This week with the Sisters in Stamping we are giving you a sneak peek into what is coming in the new catalog. Don't you love the little glimpses of what's to come? I know I do.

I used the new set called Sprinkles for Life. It is this year's Ronald McDonald House set. I love it, the top of the ice cream can be a cloud, ice cream or icing for a cupcake. How awesome is that? I love when sets are versatile and can be used for a variety of occasions.

For this card, I used several of the new in colors to make a "tie dye" type background. I had a lot of fun making it and was pleasantly surprised when my background surpassed my expectations. I know many times things I envision in my head, don't always work out on paper, but this time I was pleasantly surprised.

The best thing about this set is that the set has a coordinating punch. I know we all want punches that match the stamps so we don't have to cut anything out by hand.

Don't forget to head over to Sisters in Stamping for more sneak peek ideas.

Hello Stamping Friends,

I'm here today to share with you some great deal this week. Remember these specials are for one week only. All orders must be placed by Monday, May 4, 2015 to receive the discounted prices.

Say Cheese

Hello Stamping Friends,

It's FRIDAY! Woohoo. Now that I've been working so much at the school, I really look forward to Friday's, more than ever to be honest. I love being at the school and teaching but I really enjoy the downtime of the weekends, even if we are busy with family things or I'm doing workshops, classes or  other events. What do you have planned for this weekend? Does it involve taking pictures?  This card for the Sisters in Stamping Fabulous Friday posting may be just the thing for you then.

This week was a big week at Stampin' Up! The retirement list made it's debut, so that's the challenge we went with. Use something from the retirement list. Everyone is always excited yet sad when the list comes out. Excited knowing that there are many great new things on the way when the new catalog comes out on June 2 and sad because sometimes some of our favorite things are going away.

This card uses more than just a retiring stamp on it. The designer series paper is retiring, the on film framelits are also on the retirement list. SO, if these are things you want, you should order as soon as possible. All accessories are on a limited basis right now and once the supply is depleted, it's gone for good.

This card looks like it's difficult but in reality it really is pretty simple. It's just that there are a lot of layers and dimension going on. I die cut the film strip and the Polaroid frame using the on film framelits. Pretty fun framelits for so many occasions if you ask me.  I colored the camera in with markers and cut it out. It is attached to the card using dimensionals.

I purposely left off a greeting so the card can be used for any occasion, bu you can easily stamp a greeting on the bottom of the Polaroid frame. Fun card, isn't it?

Head over to the Sisters in Stamping blog for more samples using retiring stamps.
