I did it!

I am a new Demonstrator for Stampin Up! I have been hemming and hawing over this since they had a great sale over last summer and I finally took the leap today. They are having another good sale and I could no longer resist.
I signed up online and was so surprised then I got my Demo number right away. That meant I could sign on right away and start checking things out and look to my hearts content. I was very impressed with the wealth of information and support that is there for the demos. I really can't wait to get my demo kit and get started!

An Anything Card

I sat down and made a bunch of cards that could be used for any occasion. These are for my stash mostly so I can stamp the sentiment on when I need it.

Stamp: Changito Duo colored with MCPT
Paper: Various DCWV Mat Stacks
Embellies: Prima flower with brad from MM.

*5 LO's

Color Combo Website

A while back a wonderful Cricut MB member, Mandy Ferg, posted a link to a great website for color matching SU paper. You can choose the colors of SU cardstock you want and the search will pick other matching colors for you. Very helpful if you are color challenged like I am or just want a fast way to choose colors for your card or LO. I wanted to share it with others who may find it useful too! :)

Have fun!
