there’s a way. A quick post today as I’m sharing some news and updates.

All Stampin’ Up! demos have over the last few days been receiving their copies of the new Autumn/Winter Catalogue (starts 1 September). As demos we get to see things before they are released and we also get to pre-order items. Being in the USA at the moment means that I can’t get my hands on my paper copy of the Catalogue (sad face). I do have a copy of the catalogue on my iPad, but as most of you know it’s just not the same as a paper copy that can be thumbed through at will and drooled over.

I have made friends with more of the local demonstrators here in San Diego and yesterday (Friday) I got to go play in Cynthia’s craft room. What’s more, I even got to see the new catalogue and play with some of the new goodies, courtesy of Rita. Oh boy, you are going to love them.

Cynthia is lovely and gave me a copy of the catalogue to keep, and the above photo was taken in her studio as proof. Ok, so it may be a US version (with prices in Dollars) but I can still stroke the pages and plan my classes for the next few months or so. Those coming to classes are most certainly in for a treat.

Some of you may have noticed that the Tutorials went off-line last night. I have updated them to include the one for the Hidden Gate Fold card that was featured in my post on 31 July. Have fun going them ago. I’ve  included additional photos of other cards that I made, so I hope that they give you ideas as to what you can do.

I’m currently in the middle of writing a tutorial for the Watercolor Wings Three Ways post, and that should be up on Sunday.
