Week 87: BLUSH


It's time to get your BLUSH on!  Rosy cheeks, the color pink and romance might end up on your mind as we explore a brand new cue word!  This one should have some interesting interpretations!  Just remember to keep 'em Clean and Simple!

This week, we have a brand new sponsor joining us:  Cathy Parlitsis from Stamps and Scrapbooks!


I have been an Independent Business Owner in the Paper Crafting industry for almost 15 years! Rubber Stamping and Scrapbooking have been a passion of mine and I love sharing these with others.  Check out StampAcademy.com for online access to great classes!


Cathy is offering a Stamp Academy Winter 2014 Online Paper Crafting Class to this week's winner!  Be sure and pay a visit to her website for lots of crafty inspiration and to see the latest from Stampin' Up!
