**Don't forget to order your favorite stamp sets before they're gone forever! June 30th is the LAST day to order!**

One of the many perks of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is being able to see the brand new Idea Book & Catalog a whole month before anyone else. I received mine yesterday & all I can say is "WOW!" It is full of LOST of amazing new things that I can't wait to get my hands on & play with :) If anyone is interested in having their own copy of the new Idea Book & Catalog - or IB&C - for a special price of $6 let me know & I will mail one to you. I can't mail them any earlier than June 28th but I'd love to drop one in the mail for you so please email me at: sarah.goke@gmail.com or call me: (915)799-3187. If you already have a demonstrator please order one from them. However, if you don't have a demo already I'd love to be yours :)

Okay, so now on to today's share! My oldest son asked me to make a graduation card for the leader of the trumpet section; he wanted me to make a "big" card so all of the trumpets could sign it for her. What do you think of this:

 The music notes are actually a wheel (pg. 125) in the current IB&C. I didn't have the wheel but fortunately it is download for My Digital Studio! I made my own"sheets of music" in MDS & printed a few onto Whisper White & Very Vanilla card stocks so now I have them on hand for whenever I want it again ;)  I layered the "sheets of music" onto the very top & bottom of the Basic Black card base being sure to leave a large enough area in the middle to put the sentiment & butterflies. The sentiment is from the stamp set "Word Play" & was stamped in Versa Mark then embossed in gold on a piece of Basic Black card stock. This was then layered onto a piece of Real Red & adhered to the card with Snail. I used the Beautiful Wings embosslits die & ran it through my Big Shot with another "sheet of music". Those were on dimensionals to give it some texture. On the inside of the card & layered a piece of white card stock to the top & bottom so everyone's signatures could be read :)

My son told me she was a bit teary-eyed when they gave it to her; I would say it served it's purpose, wouldn't you? ;) Hope you enjoyed the simple creation today. Have a great week & thanks for stopping by!
