Now if that isn’t a weird combination, I don’t know what is! But that is what is happening!

Let’s get the business out of the way ~ the FUN business by the way! Let’s go into the Garden of Eden! That would be spooky, don’t you think?

The tale of the Garden of Eden transcends the boundaries of a single belief system. Numerous accounts and adaptations of Eden’s events have appeared in Christianity, Judaism, Islam, legends and lore, ancient mythology, and more! No matter how the story is shared, the essence of Eden remains the same: it’s a place of paradise. Filled with fruitful and flourishing foliage, stillness and serenity, and an air of mystery, Eden is an ethereal utopia!

Enter and explore Eden with the Eden’s Garden Collection! This delightful and desirable collection includes early-release products from the January–June 2022 Mini Catalog—a bundle of stamps and dies that’s blooming with beauty and bounty. Plus, exclusive products you can’t uncover anywhere else—a pack of paper patterned with green and gold, a set of specialty sheets for gift-giving and textured touches, and a sparkling set of gleaming gems!

Just as the timeless tale can be told in a variety of versions, these paradisical products can be used to create projects for any occasion—and they make the perfect papercrafting companion. The colors in the Suite are the new Evening Evergreen, Soft Succulent, and gold foil interspersed! It is quite lovely.

This new release will be available to you all from November 2 – January 3, 2022! Get it before the actual catalog release and you can explore all of the possibilities with this Suite!

Now, what was I saying about Ghosts and Goblins? Halloween is just about 2 weeks away! What are you going as? Accompanying your trick or treaters? Please share your cute pictures with all of us! I haven’t been diligent about Halloween cards per se, but I did use Brenda Quintana’s treat box idea for my next Sunday Craftin’ Gals Gathering! It will be fun what they come up with as far as decorating the front of the card. In decorating our home for Halloween, I found some older projects that I did with retired Stampin’ Up! products. I look back on them every year and just love seeing them. Our Grandkiddos would sometimes be able to come down from the Sacramento area and celebrate with us here. We had a blast and the couple years they came, it was booming with little ones asking for the Trick or Treat in our neighborhood. Normally we get quite a few children, but not like it was those years. Our 3rd Granddaughter, Norah was born on Halloween which made it more special! Birthday and Halloween ~ Woo Hoo! The night she was born, Dad took her two older sisters Trick or Treating that night for sure!

One of my dear friends made a darling card for a swap, and I am just waiting for some paper to re-create it in the next week or so! We had such a busy September that Halloween sort of got past me! Here is Mary Beth’s card…

Isn’t it just the cutest? Here are some of my past Halloween projects…many of course are retired stamps, dies, etc.

Well, if you are interested in any Stampin’ Up! ideas, projects or just more information, please contact me and maybe you would like to be part of my Team? I would love to be your demonstrator. Click on Join the Fun at the top or Join Me in the sidebar! Hope you will come some time to my Sunday Craftin’ Gals Gathering if you are a local San Diegan! Ask me about it!

Until then…

Be kind to one another and make time for Creating With Paper.
