my first Magnolia / mon premier Magnolia


I forgot the name of this little cutie pie, but here's my first card with a Magnolia stamp. Isn't she adorable? She's skipping rope, one of my favorite activities growing up.

J'ai oublié le nom de cette gamine, mais voici la première carte réalisée avec les estampes de la compagnie Magnolia. N'est-elle pas jolie? J'adore cette petite coquine. Elle joue à la corde à danser, un de mes passe-temps lorsqu'étais jeune fille.


I colored her in with Stampin' Up!'s Classic inks in Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss, Blush Blossom, Groovy Guava, Close to Cocoa and Chocolate Chip. I stamped with Black StazOn on watercolor paper and used my Aqua Painter. The beautiful background paper is the new Bella Rose from Stampin' Up! and the background textured cardstock is the new Kiwi Kiss. I hope you enjoy it! For those of you who do not visit my Stampin' Up! blog regularly, please check it out as I have put together a video tutorial. My first... you can check it out here.

Après avoir estampé l'image avec de l'encre StazOn noir jais sur du papier aquarelle, j'ai colorié avec les encres de Stampin' Up! en Rouge Capulet, Petite pirouette, Bizou kiwi, Bouton de rose, Goyave parfaite, Presque cacao et Pépite de chocolat. Le papier en arrière-plan est le nouveau Bella Rose de Stampin' Up! et le carton texturé pour la base de la carte est de couleur Bizou kiwi. J'espère que aimez! Pour celles qui ne visitent pas régulièrement mon site Stampin' Up!, allez y jeter un p'tit coup d'oeil. J'ai compilé mon premier vidéo instructif... Vous n'avez qu'à

À bientôt!

so long, SLC ! *** ce n'est qu'un aurevoir SLC !

I'm back and boy what a trip and half!!! First of all, I'd like to thank my friend and travelling companion Carolynn for putting up with me and my "slowness". It was hot down there and my big body could not match her walking speed. But she was a good sport about it. Lova ya, my SU daughter!

I am trying to upload pictures, but for some reason Blogger does not let me. You'll have to turn to my Typepad blog here to see some pictures. Hopefully, the problem gets resolved soon.

**********

Je suis revenue, mes amies, et quel magnifique voyage!!! Premièrement, j'aimerais remercier Carolynn, mon amies et compagne de voyage. Elle a sû s'accomoder de ma lenteur et mes plaintes de la chaleur avec tact. Ch't'aime, ma p'tite fille SU :-)

J'aimerais bien vous montrer des photos mais eBlogger ne me laisse pas télécharge ce soir alors vous devez vous tourner du côté de mon blog Typepag. Cliquez ici pour y accéder. J'espère que le problème sera résolu bientôt!

convention... day 3

Let me tell ya: this is not the last SU convention I will attend.I am so amazed. The people are fun and friendly. The SU Home Office team are so pleasant to deal with. I am totally under their spell. Shelli is a wonderful human being and it shows. This morning, we were treated with a fun performance by the SU band before our morning session. AND... here is the most amazing news:



That's right! Stampin' Up! is partnering with Sizzix to bring you the Big Shot die-cutting tool with exclusive dies. We're all excited here and I can't wait to give you more details.

Shelli showed some beautiful projects that were made with the wonderful exclusive dies, like this one:




And last but not least, my SU daughter Carolynn has walked the stage because she has reached the 20K sales. Congrats, Carolynn!



Can't wait to be able to manipulate my photos properly so I can show you bits and pieces of the catalogue. OK, off to bed now. We have another long day tomorrow.
