Did you spot the Soda Pop Tops in the new seasonal catalogue?  They're on page 24 and I thought I'd give them a run while I was having a card making session at my desk. 

They team up nicely with the Collage Curios stamp set and the 1" circle punch.  I mucked up my stamping on the middle one so decided after putting the card together to cover it up with a button I had left from my Artisan Embellishment Kit.  The gorgeous lace is from that kit too.  I used glue dots to stick the soda pop tops down. 

Products featured:

The Soda Pop tops.  They come in two sizes - I've used the larger ones.  A pack of 16 - 8 of each size - for $6.95.  Page 24

Collage Curios Stamp Set:  Page 24.  This set of 9 stamps is $28.95 for clear mount, $35.95 for wood.  I love that text circle. 

You can find this one on page 16.  It is the Print Poetry Designer Series Paper Stack.  These pads of 48 sheets are so handy.  They're 11.4 x 16.5cm, perfectly sized for cards.  4 each of 12 double sided designs.  Really lovely collection of patterns and they coordinate with all 5 of the latest In Colours so if you team it up with an A4 mixed pack of In Colour cardstock you'll be all set.  Crumb Cake too - a gorgeous neutral colour.

We've also been busy here with back to school week.  Hannah's in Grade 5 this year and Jack is in Grade 2.  Here they are all set to head off (logos blurred for online land - that's not a milo stain, at least not on the first day of school - wink.)

I had a similar expression on my face too (shh)  since I've got a nice little week or so before I head back myself.   

If you've got littlies or not so littlies that have just headed back to school, sending best wishes for a happy year of learning new things, making new friends and having lots of fun.  And a big pat on the back to all the teachers out there too.  You do an awesome job and there's not enough pats on the back these days. 

Happy stamping everyone.

Cheers, Sue
