Hello and happy Friday to all….today's post is a one that is special….for many reasons! I am super excited to share with you a "sneak peek" from the new upcoming catalog! 

This bundle is one that I knew would make it to Randall Lane as I can see the versatility and practicality of this bundle…I just love bundles as remember, you will get an instant 15% off!

The other reason that today's post is super special is…..I NEED YOUR HELP! We all know the power of cards…the power of inspiration and the power of believing…and I had a downline reach out to me and tell me something wonderful…something super special….something very rare in todays times….

Kathy's parents are getting ready to celebrate their 75th Wedding Anniversary. Is that amazing….is that beautiful! They are together in a home….one in one area the other in rehab. Last year Kathy made them advent boxes for them to open up daily and it was a treat, a joy, a "look forward to" moment each and everyday!

Kathy and I totally realize that this is a super busy time of the year for all of us but at the same time I think that all of us realize that a 75th Wedding Anniversary is so incredibly special and rare….so if you can, please send this special couple a card of joy, love, inspiration etc….

I knew immediately what I was going to do and I think that it "fits the occasion" perfectly! The only thing that I wish is that I would be able to be there for  them on this special day and sit and ask them about "what is their advice on love and life" This is sooooooo special!

At the end of the post I will share with you an address to send a card to if you can. I am sure the "newlyweds" would love to feel our love from all over! This is what I LOVE about this special thing we do….I have received many cards for my friend that is battling cancer and wow – it totally touches my heart!

I brought together the NEW kid on the block, the Number of Years Bundle and then the fabulous Peaceful Wreath Stamp Set. I am sad that it is being retired as it is soooooo classic.and the sentiments are "spot on" as well! 

When you go to create something, look at what you have and see how you can make them into "Peanut Butter and Jelly"…a great classic that always works! I did use the vanilla coaster board to help lift up the numbers but this bundle is super special with all of the little "extras" – it can be used for soooo many occasions!

I used a different base than I usually do. Today I used the shimmer white card stock. When I googled the colors for a 75th anniversary it said, a shimmering white! Jeanie has been singing the praises of this paper as you can water color with it so I thought, WHY NOT give it a try! (Jeanie is always "spot on")

The aqua painter went to town and the colors that I used were Pear Pizzzz, Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Real Red and Soft Suede. The more that you try this…the better you will get! There really is no right or wrong way….it always seems to work out and the best thing – you will smile and be proud!

See the liner, yep~ it's there again, the real red envelope paper that is one the Year End Sale….make sure that you go over and have fun, click here to see my post yesterday of my picks! – there are some amazing deals in their…..I've clicked away….how about you!?!? 

GUESS WHAT IS IN THERE….

that was not in there yesterday when I blogged about the sale????

The Square Pillow Box Thinlit Die...

this is one product that I think we were all SHOCKED is on the retired list!

Enjoy the day, pace yourself for the season and just do what you can do! I am an email away if I can help you and I truly appreciate your support to this fun Stampin' Up! joy that I am a part of!

Here is the address to make this special couples day even more special! (We all know that they will be the HIT for the day)

In advance, many thanks if you can slip a card in the mail! Until tomorrow!
