Light Up Your Day with Stampin' Up! Peeks and a Cute Bug!

Wow! Where did the summer go? July 31 has always marked the end of the summer for me, as once August gets here, school is SOON! We go back on the 10th this year for teacher meetings and then the students start the 13th.

July 31 also marks the last day that you can help buy a wheelchair accessible van for Bob and his family! Hambo Stamps is contributing 15% of their July sales to this worthy cause. Check out this cute lightning bug. Isn't he adorable?

The bug and sentiment are both available at Hambo.

I made this card for two Dare to Get Dirty Challenges - Carole's Real Red, Yoyo Yellow and Brilliant Blue Color Challenge, and Natasha's Sketch Challenge.

Here is a sneak peek of the cover of the new Stampin' Up! catalog! It has a pretty scalloped edge! A friend at convention sent me this picture. I don't have my own yet, hence the spiral edge. All convention attendees receive their complimentary catalog spiral bound.

Day Two Stampin' Up! news!!! Keep reading:
Shelli Gardner, CEO and Cofounder of SU! will be starting a line of accessories and products that she loves soon!

All sets will be die cut beginning in the Spring-Summer 2009 Catalog. All sets new to the Fall-Winter Catalog are die cut.
And watch for a big sale in August! Oh !! That is tomorrow! Well, I imagine that means after the new catalog comes out (which they have spelled "Catalogue") on August 11.
