I made this card for a recent Control Freaks swap:
You'll find quite a few new products on this card - mostly from the new Sale-a-Bration (SAB) catalog.
Vine Street embossing folder - Love it! I embossed a few sheets of each of the new Co'ordinations card stock - Real Red, Pool Party & Primrose Petals. Then I cut each piece into strips and cut notches at the bottom.
Bloomin' Marvelous stamp set - This was a clear favorite set in the SAB catalog for me. I love that it has botanical images along with pretty verses. And the butterfly image matches the new Bitty Butterfly punch in the Spring catalog!
Satiny Pool Party ribbon! - I just love this ribbon!! It comes in a pack of three colors - Pool Party, Island Indigo and Tangerine Tango and buttons too! All FREE with a $50 order.
See the Sale a Bration catalog here
Other supplies: Big Shot, New Ovals Framelits, Punches - scalloped oval, Extra large oval, Decorative Label, pearls jewels colored with a sharpie marker, sponge, Bitty Butterfly punch

Now for some personal news - we are moving back into our flooded house this weekend!! Yay! We are so excited and very, very happy to go back to our home. It isn't quite finished but we had to set a date and we're sticking with it! It's been over 19 months since it was flooded up to the ceiling with water that lasted 3 weeks ruining most of our house.
My husband has been working so hard finishing much of it himself - right now he is installing doors and trim. It's looking so nice! Lately we are there each night until midnight or later! So now you know why I haven't been posting here as much as usual. I am packing, cleaning and moving some each day. We are so looking forward to being done with this rebuild. Even though it won't really be finished since the basement, garage and the yard still need work.... but we'll get to that this summer and then some. My husband especially needs a break from working day and night!
I'll share some pics of the house later - especially my new, refurbished studio!!
What fantastic news, LeeAnn! Can't wait to see the pictures!

I'm really happy for you! We were flooded out in the Bismarck flood too. There is just no place like home, even if it isn't quite done---it's yours!
