Stampin Up Class on Sunday :)

Hi Y'all!
Did you know the new Stampin Up Catalogue began on April 1? No joke! Jump on over to http://www.stampinup.com/ and you can follow the links there. About half the catalogue is new stamps and there are heaps on my list already! Top of my list is Trendy Trees, man that set is so cute!!

I have an SU class on Sunday booked way back in January at Fliss's best friend's class, so it's for a bunch of ladies I don't really know. It should be fun (but I always get a little nervous!) It's great to be able to share the new catalogue with them so soon after it starts! It's gonna get me really inspired I think (and hope)!
Here are the samples I have made so far using "Good Friend" which is one of the new sets. I hopefully will get time tonight to make a few more samples for show and tell at the class- I don't have OT but I am dead tired from yesterday's 13hr shift! I hope it's an easy day at work so I am still motivated when I get home!! Plus I have "Over the Hedge" on DVD that I bought last Sunday to watch, you know I love a good animated film!
So this first card is the one we are going to be making in the class. It took me only about 10 mins to make, I hope they take a little longer than that or class will be over quick smart! Lol! Maybe we might make 2 cards with this set. I think the giant bird is just so cool in this set. I don't have any birds this size, it would be perfect for scrappin too so I'll have to break it out for my pages sometime.
And this is the second card I made using the Good Friend set and Say it With Scallops (also a fave of mine). I like to make a couple of totally different cards with the same set to show it's versatility, and this posie one I think is so cool! I love the different funky flower images that come in "Good Friend", I hope the ladies at the class love it as much as I do!
The other card we will make is probably going to be one of the popsicle cards. Remember them? I am a bit bummed that they retired the Kia Ora set cos it comes with this "Sweet as" phrase in it which goes so well on these popsicle cards! I'll have to dig around for another sentiment that is just as cute :)
I have a pretty busy weekend, having breakfast and a shopping day with Alicia tomorrow followed by a friend's birthday dinner in the city and out to the Argyle afterwards. Then the SU party sunday, it's gonna be pretty tiring!!
Don't you just love Fridays though, a normal shift at work then Law and Order and some card making then it's Saturday tomorrow! Awesome!!
Happy Friday!
