Good Thursday Morning Stampers! I need to pause with showing you the rest of the calendar pages to show you a Sneak Peek from the Stampin' Up! 2012-2013 ANNUAL CATALOG, which begins on June 1st! In this catalog you will see many positive changes, with this catalog feature more of our "core" products and less seasonal. This is a positive change, IMHO, because who needs, for instance, Christmas stamps in your catalog in the spring taking up space?
Anywhoo, yesterday was my Mother-in-law's 84th birthday, so I made this card especially for her. She loves lavendar and purple, so I used Concord Crush, Wisteria Wonder, and Whisper White for my color palette, along with a Sneak Peek stamp set, "Everything Eleanor"! Everyone attending Leadership this past January received this set! I love how Stampin' Up! tries very hard to keep us supplied with fresh stamps!
Here's the card:

I used a new technique I just learned from Erin Gonzalez, "Versa-Shadow"! It's very easy but gives a really professional look to your project! This is a Technique we will be learning at my Technique Classes in April! I also made her a corner bookmark with her initial, "D" for "Dolores", using the "Broadsheet Alphabet". The directions for the bookmark were in the magazine Stampin' Up! sends out to all demonstrators this month, so since Dolores loves to read, it was just the perfect thing for her!
That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget, Sale-a-bration ends on Saturday, just two more days after today, so contact me ASAP if you want to get some of the freebies available!
Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!
I love this card and I really am excited that you are going to teach us how to do “Versa Shadow” at the next technique club!!!
Gorgeous card. I am off to Google the technique and give it a try. Thanks for sharing.

It’s fun and easy. Too bad I discovered it just as Stampin’ Up! was retiring Versamarkers!
Do you still have them down under?
