We kicked off the new creative year in style last Friday with our Annual Catalogue Launch Party!  It was a fun-filled day of inspiration, laughter, and a first look at the exciting new products from the 2025–2026 Annual Catalogue.  From fresh ideas to fabulous giveaways, there was plenty to see, share, and celebrate.

No launch party would be complete without a few games!  We took a walk through the new catalogue together, stopping to play BINGO along the way and sharing favourite new finds (plus a few fun tips!).  Everyone also tackled a catalogue scavenger hunt, with some very determined sleuths uncovering hidden gems.  Game winners received mini prize packs featuring samples of the Beautiful Gallery 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper, some lovely Pressed Flower Motifs, all tied up with a length of Basic Beige 3/8" Classic Ribbon—perfect for a touch of vintage elegance.

As always, we had a big prize draw for everyone who attended.  RSVPs were entered in the draw, and anyone who placed an order got an extra entry.  The prize?  A stunning creative bundle from the Florals in Bloom Suite: the Pretty Florals stamp set, a generous sample of the Florals In Bloom 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, and all five colours of the 2025–2027 In Color Ribbon.  A lucky winner went home very happy!

Each guest also received a sweet handmade gift.  I used the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper to craft lip balm holders (just like the bee ones I made here).  The front flap was closed with a cute stamped and die-cut flower from the Impressions Abloom Bundle, each stamped in one of the new 2025-2027 In Colors.

While I was in Orlando recently, I picked up some adorable Disney Princess lip balms—perfectly coloured to match the papers and make each gift feel special.

Of course, we also made a couple of beautiful projects together using new products from the Annual Catalogue—stay tuned, I’ll be sharing those soon!
