2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog with In-Color Bookmark

Today's the day! We can order from the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog. I've pictured the catty with bookmarks I made to give away to my customers with their new catties. I got the idea from Brenda Quintana, just changed them up a bit for my needs. Here's a link to her original ones on Splitcoast. The new colors are Calypso Coral, Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade, Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder. I used the new set, Pennant Parade and coordinating Petite Pennants Builder punch on the bookmarks. Also, the ribbon is new 1/2 inch Chocolate Chip Scallop Dots grosgrain ribbon. And the bottom row of flowers is from the Printed Petals stamp set and I just colored them in with the new In-Color Stampin' Write markers.
Here's info about my New Catalog Open House:

I will be holding a New Catalog Open House at my home on Wednesday, July 20th from 6-9pm.
If you attend the Open House you can get your New Catalog for only $5, or FREE with a $25 order!
I will have a Make & Take, Door Prizes and refreshments.
I will also have sign-ups for a Ribbon Share, Designer Series Paper Share, Monthly Stamp Clubs and Parties if interested.

If you live in SE Wisconsin and don't have a demo I'd love for you to come.
I can't wait to get my goodies from the catty-lots of cute stuff!
