June is Here!

Thoughts of vacations, summertime activities, celebrations and more fill our minds as we embark into the summer season. June 2021 is a great month at Stampin’ Up! because there’s a lot going on - the introduction of our Kit Collection, the retirement of the Jan-June 2021 Mini Catalog, focus on the new In Colors and Annual Catalog, and more!

Summer is a favorite season for many. While I could do without the extreme heat that I used to love, I enjoy gardening, lunching outside with friends, taking a drive and exploring new places, and welcoming guests who love this area. After the year we’ve all just put in, these moments are particularly special.

May brought some sadness as our beloved Lucky (Shih Tzu mix) had to make his way over the Rainbow Bridge. First Brandy in November, now Lucky. Lucky was a rescue who apparently didn’t have a great life in the beginning, but we hope we made up for it in the last two years he lived in our home. There are so many (animals and humans) who are hurting. Greeting cards are one way to let others know we’re thinking about them. A future project idea is to have sympathy and thinking of you cards ready for those occasions when a card says it best. Stay tuned for more on that.

In the meantime, enjoy the sunshine and look for the rainbows. Summer flies by all too fast. Make those memories into movies in your mind, and remember to use that inspiration in your papercrafting.

Wishing you sunny days, rolling waves, and smiles aplenty!
