Today, January 6th is a day that Stampin' Up! crazed fans have been looking for…the day that a double-whammie happens – The Occasions Catalog AND Sale-A-Bration begins! That in itself deserves a WOOT-WOOT cause you can earn some WOOF-WOOF's!

Before we get to today's super cute card…I need to make you laugh! Last night John said to me..."It amazes me that you all get so darn excited about a new catalog….and then he said – you know….it's a great thing what you all do….I wish more people understood the passion you all have" Now…. I rest my case….IS HE THE BEST OR WHAT!

The catalogs will be on my side bar of my post sometime today but until my dear friend and amazing gu-ru Patsy Waggoner has the time to put them up….here are the links for them! You can grab a cup of coffee….turn the phone off and take it all in!

Let's get to the card as it makes me smile! I used this stamp set last week and I know that I am going to use it over and over again in many ways as to me it's a keeper and the best thing is…it's FREE and I adore the name – Best Day Ever!

This is blending the best of both worlds! That super fun paper is not a new DSP in the Occasions Catalog…it's a freebie with the Sale-A-bration collection and it is called Irresistibly Yours Specialty DSP( there are 6 different patterns) and the super fun thing about it is…you can add any color to the glossy paper and the images POP!

What do I mean – I used a sponge and dabbed it in the Blushing Bride ink and then "swirled it on the paper" and PRESTO – magic happened! This is one GREAT paper and the ideas are endless! You will get a free 1/4 sheet of all 6 of these fun papers with the paper share that I am offering!

It's hip to be square and today is no different! This is a 4 1/2" card and you can see that it is super sweet and just fun! I used the Banner Framelits to bring the focal point to the forefront.

This stamp set is just too cute for words and I know that I will (hopefully) be able to "stash" some away for future blog candy give-aways!

I lifted this portion up with Stampin' Vitamins aka Stampin' Dimensionals as we all know that these make everything shine!

There are so many things that are a "girls best friend" and today…it is pearls…NEW ribbon and oh…a sweet flower! The perfect finishing touch!

The Envelope Punch Board (which is on SALE THIS WEEK with the weekle deals) and the Subtles Designer Series paper stack was the perfect end to this sweet card! I call these 2 products…."Peanut Butter & Jelly" as they always makes a card shine!

Well…are you excited…..are you making your list and checking it twice?!?!
