Just a little pick me up...

It's been TOO long, my friends! Thank you for sticking around in my absence and for all of your support and encouragement. Since then (read more here), I have spent the last couple weeks collecting some new scrap goodies to get me back on the horse. My bank account says I am sufficiently inspired!
I was completely shocked to find these little lovlies tonight at Joann's:

You will not believe the deal I got! Between the 40% off papercrafting supplies sale going on now, and my 15% additional teacher discount, I paid only $12.75 for each of the Nesties dies (reg. $24.99) and 82 CENTS for each of the stamp sets (reg. $4.99).
I was super happy to find these sentiment stamps because I was hoping they would fit inside my Stampin Up! Word Window punch.

Sure enough, they fit perfectly inside the punch! Take a peek:

I used Stampin' Up! cardstock in Certainly Celery and So Saffron (fav color SU! colors), some patterned paper by Basic Grey, some ribbon from last year's Sale-A-Bration from SU!, the previously mentioned word window punch, a scallop border punch by SU!, and a stamp set by, I believe Sandylion, for the little lion, in addition to the "snuggle" phrase from the above pictured KI Memories set, "baby verbage".

A little close up of this too-cute lion:

I am very excited to use some of these new goodies, as well as some other finds, in upcoming videos. I am working on a mock-up for a new A-La-Card video using the Paisley cartridge I bought back in November. I also have an idea for another video segment, I will be calling "E-Entrees," so be on the look-out...I'm back, friends! :)
Thank you for stopping by today...run to your local Joann's stores before this sale ends! HUGS AND HOOTS <3
