The sun is shining in Montreal today, but it’s still a frost MINUS 19!! Yikes. I miss summer 😛 Which is where I got the inspiration for this card. Created for a birthday card challenge, using Stampin Up colors Chocolate Chip and Pistachio Pudding. The name of the colors inspire the ice cream theme, and I wanted to create something fun – this is what I came up with:

Hiya Stampers!! It is still FREEZING in Montreal. Like gross cold. Which, as always, gives me a great excuse to not have to go out, which means I can play in my craft room!! Yay! I just moved to Montreal on October, and everyone tells me that this is an unusually cold winter. Like that makes me feel much better – it was TWENTY degree difference from back home (Vancouver) to here last week. 
So, here is a sneak peek at one of the cards that we will be making in the Valentine’s Day workshop this month using the new “Just Sayin” stamp and die bundle that Stampin Up just released in their new Occasions catalog last week.
Just Sayin Stampin Up ‘Love Ya’ Word Bubble cardThanks for stopping by stampers!! Don’t forget – your comments are welcome and appreciated!!
Well, it’s -19 in Montreal today. Yep. MINUS NINETEEN!! Which gives me the perfect reason to not go out, and stay in my craft room all day!!!
Now that the holidays are over I am able to host workshops again. I have two this month that are going to be great:
Here is one of the cards that we will be making for the Valentine’s Day workshop:
Montreal Card Workshop: Valentines’ Day project #1We will be using the limited edition “Follow My Heart” stamp set for this workshop – there is something romantic about the Eiffel Tower is there?! *sigh* And being in the French province of Canada, I thought this stamp set was very apropos this year.
Until next time stampers!!
