Wowee! Yippee! Whoohoo! It is hard to express just how happy the NEW Spring 2010 Idea Book makes me feel! Containing my excitement has been particularly hard, because mail takes a bit longer to reach me. My wonderful CTMH sista, Amy H., made sure to deliver the Idea Books to my husband in Kansas as soon as she received them. Jared, my husband, even did an awesome job of mailing them right out, so I have the Idea Books to share with my scrappy sisters here in Iraq! (I know they love me for it!).

I made these 6″ x 6″ cards using the first card workshop in the Wishes how-to book and a new Veranda Level 2 paper pack. And just look at some of the new embellishments and stamps! I absolutely LOVE how these cards turned out. It was so nice to take a Sunday morning and just create beautiful cards! I have so many “Thank you” cards to send, that I need to make some more! Darn!

This journal is a new product for Spring 2010, too! I just love how easy it is to decorate this 5″ x 7″ cover with pretty papers, stamps, and embellies, or I could choose to use a candid photo instead! How versatile and affordable! Of course, I love tying ribbons on the spiral spine! What a great gift this journal would make!

I hope if you haven’t received your copy of the new Idea Book, that you e-mail me or check out my website on January 1st! As always, I will make sure you get your copy no matter where in the world I happen to be! Until then, Happy Scrapping!
