That was quite the blogging vacation I just took, wasn't it? I had a crazy month of June. Believe it or not, I did stamp during the month of June, I just didn't get to blog about it. I have been working on samples for the SU! convention, which I can't share just yet, and I also went on an unplanned visit to my hometown, so all in all time just ran away from me.
There just seems to be so much to catch up on... Have you all seen the new catalogue? Gorgeous, right? I love the cover picture and the close-up pictures in it. Every year, they keep impressing me with unbelievable samples. I found an old catalogue (2005-2006, the year SU! launched in Quebec) and my friend Maggie was leafing through it when she visited because this catalogue pre-dates her stamping years and she had never seen it. The samples have gotten so much more intricate over the years, it was pretty funny to compare both catalogues side by side!

I am particularly impressed with the awesome hostess sets selection we have this year. I should warn you before I forget that the Carry On (Persévère) set has unfortunately been discountinued due to some legal reasons, but there are plenty of cute sets to choose from. My favorite one is Wacky Wishes, because of the fun font, followed closely by Happy You because of the adorable boot! I used both on this card, which we made at my team meeting last month. It also showcases one of the new In Colors, Primerose Petal. The frame was created using the Daydream Medallions set.
By the way, did you have the chance to try out the new firm foam pads? Oh my goodness, what a difference they make in inking images! Perfectly inked in two taps. You are going to love them.
My sample was designed based on a catalogue sample. Can you guess which one? (Hint: The window and tag should be your clue...)
