Yeehaw!

My computer is really acting up this evening. Things are moving way too slow AND worse than that, I cannot get Photoshop to work at all. This is the reason for the non-cropped picture of today's SCS Sketch Challenge card. I made this card with my friends Chris and her mom, Belinda in mind. They have both moved to Texas this past year and I miss them both terribly. Big Howdy to both of you ladies! I had a lot of fun with this little Calamity Jane (my 2nd A Muse image) and I have so.... loved the Cowgirl Collection from Crate Paper. I may have to get another pack to use with the new SU stamps I have on the way. Speaking of which, I am counting the hours until 2:00pm on Friday when my dear UPS man will leave the first order from the new catty at my door. So what did I order from the new catty, you ask? As I have checked on blogs with similar lists, I have found that my choices are pretty much like others . What makes this so great is the diversity of the creations that will come from these same sets! So, my order looks like this:

Stamp sets:

Garden Whimsy

Fabulous Flowers

Priceless (it's been my fav. since my 1st time thru the catty)

In the Spotlight hostess set

Tools:

1" Circle Punch

Scallop Circle Punch

Tabletop Paper Cutter (after all the rave reviews on the Tonic cutter, I had to have one)

Priceless Classy Brass Template

Designer Series Paper

Cutie Pie

Ribbon:

Bashful Blue Taffeta

Chocolate Chip 5/8" grosgrain

Certainly Celery 5/8" grosgrain

Fairy Tale Ribbon Originals

There is still quite a bit more on my wish list such as the rest of the In Colors (I pre-ordered Wild Wasabi and Purely Pomegranate), Big Bold Birthday, Refuge and Strength, Sweet Thing, Perfectly Pretty, Wanted, Doodle, Whimsy, All Holidays, It's All Good, and Define Your Life (of course, papers and accessories too numerous to mention)! I love many of the fall and holiday sets but I'm trying to hold off purchasing until the Mini catalog is released. This "lull" in SU new rubba has encouraged me to branch out into some other stamp brands and what a fun journey that has been! Thanks for visiting and as always Take care!
