It’s a busy day for Stampin’ Up! demonstrators.  Last night (or early this morning, depending on where you live) the new catalog Sneak Peak products were released.  There was a frenzy of posting on various forums as we waited for the new information to load on the demonstrator site.  Since Hawaii is four hours behind Riverton, Utah (where Stampin’ Up! is located) I was doing my waiting at a very respectable 8pm.  Demonstrators east of Riverton were not so fortunate!

I’ve ordered some new goodies, and though we’re not allowed to show you any pictures of actual products until they are released, we ARE allowed to show you things we MAKE with those products.  Watch for some exciting new images hitting this blog soon!

Today I have a card that is entirely different from anything I’ve ever done:

• Sentimental Journey, Sense of Time and French Script Stamp sets
• Kraft (soon to be Crumb Cake) card stock
• Chocolate Chip Classic ink pad

Are you shocked?  I’m still trying to decide if I like it.  I’ve admired other stampers collage work, and these sets seemed to fit together well for the purpose.  Some of the images were stamped with fresh ink and others were stamped off before I put them to the card.  Three stamp sets, one paper, one ink.  That’s it.  The whole enchilada.

I masked the large clock before I stamped the large background French Script stamp.  I like the way it makes the clock face take center stage, although sometimes I wish the clock wasn’t such a priority in life.  Many years ago, my husband and I drove across the country and we packed away our watches and covered up the dashboard clock.  It was a wonderful trip.

I couldn’t stamp this way all of the time – it would bore me to tears.  Once in a while, though, it’s nice to do something different.
