I still remember the excitement when I received my first Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog!  Back then, there were hundreds of pages of ideas and new products! I had my post it notes ready, my WISH list and a perfect cup of coffee, bold enough to venture through each and every page.  Everything around me seemed to vanish as I opened the first page... now introducing the 

Stampin' Up! 2025 - 2026 Annual Catalog!

I don't know about you, but this time of year I am looking forward for SPRING to come! Spring just screams 'New Beginnings!!'  On our little farm, we just had the most adorable baby goats!  They are just FUN!  They jump and play without a care in the world!  Let me know in the comments if you'd like me to post a video!  It is a cardmaking blog... but what is cuter than baby goats?  Until you've had them, I don't think you can understand!!  Any goat lovers out there???

What is MORE fun that a MAGIC MUSHROOM!!  Well... that can be taken many ways.. but I am talking about a Bendy Fold Magic Mushroom card using the Terrific Toadstools Bundle!  

This month this card was a HIT because it's just TOO cute!  The colors from the Sale-A-Bration FREE 6 x 6 DSP worked perfectly with this bundle and just POPPED with fun!  Sale-A-Bration is over, but the new Mini Catalog in the right hand column is still filled with SO many great products!

I was spending my Saturday morning, SCROLLING through the ever-addicting Facebook feed!  Then it happened!  A 'memory' popped up!  Looking at the video, which I won't post here... I realized how important making 'scrapbook pages' really is.  This moment was VERY important to me, a time when one of my biggest trials in life felt it could consume me.  But God walked beside me every step of the way.

How's the weather in your area?  Well, they say it never rains in Southern California, but it is raining today!  I thought this would be the perfect time share a BRIGHT, fun, magical card I created using the Stampin' Up! Terrific Toadstools bundle!  I love the sentiment 'you are Magical!' What a great way to let that magical friend know how much you appreciate them!  Perfect for all occasions!
