It's the occasion of the year as the Stampin' Pretty Pals share some fabulous cards and projects featuring Stampin' Up!'s Occasion Mini and Sale-A-Bration products on today's Pals Blog Hop!

 

You've probably hopped over from Leah O'Brien at Leah's Stampin' Corner I'm stop number 9 on the Pals Hop and I'm glad you hopped in! I'll help you "hop along" from blog to blog where you'll find great ideas for paper projects showcasing Stampin' Up!'s Occasion Mini and Sale-A-Bration products from the Stampin' Pretty Pals! Should you hop off course, simply click on any of the links in the Pals Hop Line-up below and you'll be back on track.

  

 

Has it been a month since our last hop?  Time sure flies around here. 

 

My goal this project?  Use primarily items that could be found in both the 2012 SAB and Occasions Mini Catalogs.  See if you can find all of the new items I used.  No cheating!

 

I have completely fallen in love with Poppy Parade.  I hadn't really tried this snappy color until now but can't seem to let it go.  It's just so warm and cheerful.

 

Speaking of trying new things, have you tried the new Edgelits and coordinating Embossing Folders?  Beware!  Once you try them, you'll be hooked. And don't forget the new Embosslit's Fashionable Hearts die.

And don't forget the inside!

 

 

It may be too late to make this for Valentine's Day but remove the "Be Mine, Valentine" portion of the Candy Conversation's stamp, change the inside sentiment and Voila! You have the perfect anniversary card.
