Baby #2

Guten Tag! Hello Friends! I'm super excited for today...on of my dear friends that lives in Germany is here visiting and I get to see her today!! My kids are so excited...oh, I just can't wait! There aren't many things better than good friends, don't you agree!?

So my card for today is another little Baby girl card. When I made this card here, I had some scraps out on my desk and thought I should break out my new Simple Letters alphabet! It is a great alphabet and the fact that it is a set of BigZ dies for the Big Shot, means I can cut though a number of mediums to get my awesome simple letters! YEA! Today, I just stuck with dsp from the Sunny Day simply scrappin' kit.
So, my card started with my dsp and Simple Letter Alphabet taking a ride through the Big Shot (Have I told you lately how happy I am that I have a Big Shot!? I love that machine!!). As I played with the letters, I decided that I just wanted a clean and simple design.

I grabbed some Pink Passion cardstock and made my cardbase. I wanted the letters to have a good contrast, so decided to use a Whisper White layer to put my letters on. If you look at the bottom of the card, you'll see a little white scallop...that is one of the fun border self adhesive die cuts that comes in the Sunny Day scrappin' kit. I used some Pumpkin Pie stripped grosgrain ribbon to tie around the seam of the Whisper White and Pink Passion cardstock. I love that ribbon!

My last touch was my little flower. I LOVE the new Stampin' Up! exculsive, Sizzlit Flower Fusion die! How fun to have perfectly sized flowers of ANY color or pattern! I ran the flowers through the Big Shot with some Pink Passion and Pumpkin Pie cardstcock. As I placed them on my card, I noticed that what looks like the stem of the flowers, is actually a stripe in the paper! How fun is that!? The button is from the classic Fresh Favorites button set.

Thanks so much for stopping by today--make it a great one!

Raspberry Suite Challenge 13

Good Day to you! I've just gotten home from a few hours with just my baby...how fun was that!? Not that being with all 3 isn't great, but being with just Ruby was really fun! So, here is a little card that matches my little Ruby!

I made this card to play along with Dawn's Raspberry Suite Challenge, here is a link. I think these colors are great! I wouldn't not have thrown the "berry" or Cameo Coral into the combo without some help, so thanks Dawn for the challenge!
I started with picking the stamp set I wanted to use. I love the For All You Do stamp set! That is where the polka dots and butterfly stamps came from. The 'A note of thanks' came from the Thank You Kindly Stamp set.

I stamped my polka dots in Real Red ink onto Whisper White cardstock. I used my Curly Label punch to make a home for my butterfly. I put my label on some Real Red cardstock then cut around, giving me a nice border.

My "Rock 'n' Roll" butterfly was stamped in Cameo Coral ink first, then the edges were rolled into Real Red ink. I did use my paper snips and cut it out by hand, it wasn't bad at all! I mounted my butterfly onto my label with a couple of dimensionals. The little ruby on the butterfly is by Martha Stewart.

For my card base, I started with Whisper White cardstock. The Big Shot took my cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder and Certainly Celery cardstock for a quick ride to give me my polka dots. I used the eyelet border punch and Whisper White cardstock to make a nice little piece of lace. I attached the lace to my card, used a strip of sticky strip to attach my 5/8" grosgrain Real Red ribbon. I used some Real Red ink to stamp my sentiment and then attached my butterfly label to the card with dimensionals.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day! See you tomorrow!

Sugar and Spice...

Hello friends! Welcome to my updated newly remodeled Stampin' Spot! I'm so happy with the design...fun, fun, fun! **Edited to add**How could I forget to tell you who did the work behind my new design!? So sorry Veronica! I LOVE Veronica's work, you can check out her blog here. She is fantastic! I totally spaced that detail...sorry!!

You'll note the fun tabs across the top of the blog, they are pretty self explanitory, but I'll just give a little ditty on each tab. I'm working on getting stuffs ready to post on my Boutique page, it will a be a place for me to sell cards, retired stamps, and such. I'll keep you posted as to when you can check that fun feature out!:) I've also added a tab for my Stampin' Up! demo. website, so you can shop for your Stampin' Up needs 24/7! I'll also be updating my site with classes and such that I'll be offering in the coming months. The last tab is my Twitter Tab! I've joined the ranks of those that tweet...I'm going to start my daily Stampin' Tweet and hope that you'll learn or rediscover with me!

My girlfriend had a baby a couple of weeks ago and I just finihsed up the card that I'll give her with a little something for the baby. I love the new Everything Nice stamp set from SU. I think the sentiments are so cute! I knew that would be my starting point for this card.

I LOVE the new scrappin' kits in the New Catalog...can you say YUM!? For my color inspiration and most of the Supplies for this card, I used the Sunny Day scrappin' kit. Scrappin' kits are such great value for the price...talk about BANG for your buck!

My card started with a Pumpkin Pie card base. The stripe dsp is one of the 4 yummy flavors of dsp you get in the Sunny Day kit. I used my scallop edge punch and Pink Passion cardstock for a little scalloped border for the bottom of the card. I stamped my sentiment in Pink Passion ink and then stamped it on one of the self-adhesive die cut frames from the scrappin' kit, the pumpkin pie scalloped frame. After stamping in the frame, I layered it on some Pink Passion cardstock.

I used some striped Pumpkin Pie grosgrain ribbon for my ribbon detail. A strip of Ultra Clear sticky strip held the ribbon just perfect! I mounted my sentiment layer with dimensionals and then it was on to my accent.

My flowers are from Prima--and I'm so happy to have used some of my large supply of flowers!! The Pumpkin Pie button/brad is from Stampin' Up. I used some sticky strip to attach my flower to my card...perfect fit!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I appreciate your visits! Have a great one!!

Just For You

Hey friends! Hope you are doing well...we're having record breaking heat today...YEA! We've spent a great portion of today inside...it's been great! I got a few more projects finished up in the way of organizing my house...it's coming! So, I feel like it's been productive, inspite of the heat! I just can't get out to the garage this week..WAY too hot for that!

This card is one of those color combinations that I love...but was a bit nervous to try! I am happy with the results...I love the lattice die from SU!
I started this card wanting to use my new flower layers BigZ XL die...it's so fun! I also wanted to use these golden seed beads...and that is how this card was born! I started by running some Basic Gray and Summer Sun cardstock through my Big Shot to make my flowers. The die actually cuts 3 flowers at one time(just fyi.) but I just wanted one of each color. I used some PVA liquid adhesive from Stix2 to adhere the seed beads to my flower. I smooshed the beads into the glue and then put the flower out of the way to dry.

Another fun thing that I used was my new Lattice die! It is a BigZ so it cuts through almost anything you can think of! I used some of my double sided adhesive paper-that can be used in a die cut machine, with punches etc., from Stix2. To use the adhesive one side gets stuck to your paper and then after you cut the image you want-from your machine or punch-just peel the other side of the paper off to expose your sticky side. I stuck my lattice to my Going Gray layer of cardstock. I love that the double sided adhesive paper works so well with punches/die cut machines...it doesn't leave any sticky residue at all!

I layered my lattice layer onto a layer of Summer Sun cardstock and then adhered it all to my Basic Gray cardbase. I wrapped some Basic Gray taffeta ribbon around the bottom of my card and then stamped my sentiment "just for you" from my new Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set with Basic Black onto my card.

The last part of this card was layering the Summer Sun and Basic Gray flowers and then attaching them to the card.

I hope you had a great day! See you tomorrow!:)

Thinking of You

Hello friends! I'm a bit later than I anticipated being today...does that ever happen to any of you?! We've had serious heat here in the NW today and we're just melting! So, we've been doing what we can to keep cool...and so thankful that our house has AC!
This card with the glitter flower was super fun to make. I started with a Crushed Curry card, added a strip of Crushed Curry dsp and used the "wrong" side of my Curry polka dot ribbon to make a little ruffle along the bottom of the card. I used some Ultra Clear Tape by Stix 2, to hold my ribbon down. I also added an eyelet border, thank so my Eyelet Border punch and Bermuda Bay cardstock!

My flower started with a circle piece of naked chipboard. I covered it with PVA adhesive from Stix 2, and then added my glitter to the chipboard. I waited for the top to dry well and then added more adhesive and then more glitter to get the edge nice and glitified. The glitter I used was a combo pack from Stix 2, that matches the Crushed Curry very well! Yea for that!

While my chipboard was drying, I pulled out my handy dandy Circle Scissor cutter. I made circles out of Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Whisper White. I crumpled each piece into a ball and then flattened it out and started layering them together.

My last touch to this card was my sentiment....it seems that is mostly my last touch doesn't it? I stamped "thinking of you" from the Trendy Trees stamp set, with Versamark Ink and then used white embossing powder and my heat tool to really make it pop. My Word Window punch helped me make it perfect! I like the tone on tone...just a little 'something' fun!

Hope you're having a great one!! Take care and thanks a bundle for stopping by!!

Oh, Christmas Tree

Happy Chirstmas in July! I thought I should keep with the cooler holiday theme...and show you a couple more of my Christmas cards I added to my pile for later this year! Both of these cards are utalizing the Oh, Chirstmas Tree stamp set from LAD. The release starts today, so you can now purchase all the fun stamps you've been seeing over the last few days!

So, this first card started with a Real Red base. The patterned paper is a misc. piece and I'm not sure what company it came from(I'll keep searching on that one). My ribbon is a new product from SU, and I LOVE it! Beautiful Real Red double stiched polka dot ribbon! Yum, Yum! I used Ultra Clear Tape from Stix2, to adhere the ribbon. I also used a few mini glue dots to keep my "ruffles" laying down.

My Christmas tree image is SO fun! If you'll note, the words on the tree say, "Have yourself a merry little Christmas..." I love this set! I stamped the tree in Old Olive on Very Vanilla paper and then added a Chocolate Chip tree base(it is a seperate stamp). Next, I mounted the tree on Old Olive cardstock and the mounted it to my card with dimensionals. The finishing touch on this card was the addition of Red Dew Drops...just added them with some mini glue dots.
This second card might be a favorite...I LOVE this tree image! I started with a Whisper White card base. Old Olive cardstock took a turn through the Big Shot with a SU texture plate to get some great texture. I stamped my tree image with Chocolate Chip ink on Whisper White cardstock. I used my corner rounder to give the tree panel a little "something" and then mounted it on Old Olive cardstock.

I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock through my eyelet border punch...delicious! I added some Chocolate Chip dsp and then added my tree image to the mix. My ribbon treatment started with a bit of Chocolate Chip 5/8" grosgrain ribbon, some White Satin ribbon and then a chocolate chip corduroy button. I attached my ribbon with mini gule dots.

The last piece of this card was my fun Merry Christmas sentiment. I LOVE this stamp!! I simply stamped it with Chocoalte Chip ink and used my large oval and scalloped oval punches to make a great home for it!
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I'm having some friends over to stamp tonight...can't wait! I'll share what we made next week!:) Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sneek Peek Day 3

I've had such a great time the past few days getting to play with so many great new stamps! I tell you what, when you have great product, the whole art of being creative is much easier, wouldn't you agree!? The Summer Release from LAD is full of fantastic product and I've been having so much fun!!

This first card is showcasing the fun Love and Joy Labels stamp set. If you peek over to the LAD blog, you can see the complete set...super fun! I'm excited to have a great little label set for my holiday baking and gift giving! But, today I wanted to just use the fun bird...in an non-holiday way!
To begin my card, I used a Melon Mambo scrap and my Melon Mambo ink pad. I stamped my bird image, cut it out and mounted it on white cardstock and then cut it out again. I used a rhinestone brad for the eye of the bird. I set her aside and then moved to the Crushed Curry portion of the card.

Using some sticky stirp, I made a litle bed for some micro beads. I started with just one strip of sticky strip, but the microbeads down and then filled in with a little bit of glitter. After I had all the gaps filled in, I moved onto the top row and did it just like the bottom row. I was really surprised at how well the beads and glitter stayed in place...ya who!!

I attached a strip of Crushed Curry dsp to my carstock and then attached my Curry to the Melon Mambo cardbase. I tied my Melon Mambo ribbon, added my bird with dimensionals, and then moved to my sentiment. My thanks sentiment came from the Everyday Sayings stamp set. I stamped in Melon Mambo and then used my oval punches to make a great little frame!

Ok, now move to cooler thoughts! The new Oh, Christmas tree stamp set is SO divine! I'm showing you a couple of the different Christmas trees found there...YUM O!

For this first card, I stamped the tree with Chocolate Chip ink, onto Very Vanilla Cardstock. I love this little tree-very "in"! I colored the ornaments on the tree with my Real Red and Old Olive stampin' write markers. I mounted my tree on layers of chocolate chip and old olive and then set it aside.

I love this strip dsp! It's from the new Simply Scrappin' Kit from SU called Christmas Jingle. I cut a strip, attached it to my Vanilla cardbase and then added my Old Olive scalloped edge. I used my EK wide scallop border punch for my scalloped edge. I wrapped the seam of the card with 5/8" chocolate chip grosgrain ribbon...and then added my tree! My sentiment(which I love!) I stamped with Chocolate Chip ink and used my key tag punch to give it a form. Then I just attached it under my ribbon and there you have it!


This last card for today(I might as well add to the Christmas card pile right!?)is another highlight from the Oh Christmas Tree set! Isn't this tree great!? I stamped it in Old Olive ink, then colored the ornaments with my Real Red stampin' write marker. My Versamarker came in handy to coat each ornament. Each ornament was coated with clear embossing powder and then given a heat wave with my heat tool. I love clear embossing powder!

Moving onto the other parts of the card. The base is of course, a Real Red (perfect Christmas red in my opinion) card. The funky candy cane stripe paper is made by SEI. I attached a chunk of it to my card, then added an Old Olive scalloped edge-help from another EK scalloped border punch. I added a little strip of sticky strip to attach my row of pom poms...and let me tell you, using these pom poms just made my day! The last bit of this card was the sentiment. I stamped in Real Red ink, used my new Modern Label punch to punch it out and then layered that onto an Old Olive 1 1/4" circle punch.

Thank you for letting me share! Hope you have a great day! Make it a fun one! Oh, and don't forget to stop by the LAD blog!

Sneek Peeks!

I got home from our vacation to lots of new stamps waiting for me! What a great welcome home gift! I've got some of the greatest LAD stamps that there have been! This summer release is simply spectacular! Don't miss the fun, be sure to check out the other DT gals samples with these sets, it's enough that you'll want to put them right into your cart!! If you go to the LAD blog, you can see the new stamps and who has samples to share! Be warned, you're going to love them all!!

I want to start my post today(which is a bit longer than usual, but I've been gone and just want to make up for a few lost days!), I want to share a gift set of cards I made for a great friend. I used the Bloomin' Doodles stamp set...delicous florals!! The sentiment "just because" is from the New August Monthly Mix set, Hey Sunshine! Have you seen the Monthly Mix info...basically monthly stamp sets from LAD that completely ROCK! For real, you're going to love them! They'll be released every 15th. I love the August set...it's got so many great summer stamps!!

I kept the colors and supplies basically the same, since I made these next 4 cards as a gift set. I used Kiwi Kiss, Very Vanilla, and Soft Sky cardstock. My patterned paper is from Cosmo Cricket. I kept with Kiwi Kiss and Baja Breeze ink. I wanted to give the cards a little something uniform...so I used a different size/shape scallop on each card...just a fun little something!
This card I used my corner rounder punch, small, large and scallop oval punches. The button came from the retired button boquet from SU.
On this card, I used my new large scallop EK success border punch...can you say LOVE! I also used my 1 1/4, 1 3/8, and scallop circle punches. This button is also from SU. The ribbon here is my 5/8" wide grosgrain in vanilla.
This card showcases two scallops. I used my new EK scallop border punch...lots of little scallops on each of the scallops, and the ovals again. The ribbon here Baja Breeze striped grosgrain. My corner round came in handy again on this card! This card layout was inspired by Kendra's LAD sketch challenge for the week, you can find it here.
This last card of the set kept up with the rest of supplies, but used my eyelet border punch. I used some retired kiwi/vanilla satin ribbon. I used the curly label punch for my sentiment's home. The flowers were made with my 1", 1 1/4, 1 3/8", and 3/4" circle punches. The button is also a retired SU button.

I think everyone can use a "just because" card don't you think!? I hope my friend will enjoy giving these away!

For my last card of the day, I want to introduce you to Hallow's Eve! This stamp set is sensational! I really like the images A LOT! This card came together in a snap, a little bit of black embossing powder makes the images pop!
I stamped the main image with versamark ink on my Basic Gray cardstock. I added some black embossing powder and gave it a turn with my heat tool, now it is super shiny and slick! I added a Black cardstock mat and then set the image aside.

My card base is Basic Gray cardstock. I layered some basic black and then a piece of retired Manhattan Floral dsp. I stamped my spooktacular stamp in versamark, and added a bit of black embossing powder and then heated it with my tool. I tied the belly of the card with some Basic Gray taffeta ribbon and then added my main image with dimensionals. Super fast, and wow...LOVE black embossing powder!!

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you enjoy these sneek peeks...more to follow tomorrow! Make it a great one!:)

Thank you Verizon Man!

Hello! I'm back to the blogging world! We're home from our whirlwind trip...our internet connection works now...and I've had time to get some work done! I'm just going to be quick...just want to share how much I love the Medallion stamp from the new Stampin' Up! catalog!
I stamped the Medallion with Bermuda Bay ink on Bermuda Bay cardstock. I used a little strip of Crushed Curry dsp, and some Soft Suede polka dot ribbon...super quick and easy! I'm going to put a little thank you inside the card when it comes time to send it...so just a blank notecard for today.

Hope you're all doing well today! I've got some LAD sneek peeks on board for tomorrow and Friday...be sure to stop by! This LAD release is SO fantastic! Hope you have a great day(well, night now!)!! Thanks for stopping by!

Razzle Dazzle Thanks!

Morning Friends! Hope you are all doing well! I'm in for a quickie...we're off to finish up details for our family reunion today! Fun, Fun, Fun!!


Just wanted to share a little sampling of some great new dsp! This dsp is called Razzleberry Lemonade. It has the images from the Razzle Dazzle stamp set...and is just perfect for quenching your thirst on a hot summer day!

I used my scallop edge punch to give a little top edge scallop to my dsp. I mounted that scalloped piece of paper onto my Melon Mambo cardstock and then added a strip of Crushed Curry dsp. I cut a little sliver of the Razzleberry Lemonade paper and turned it over to find a beautiful Rich Razzleberry print. I used the little flower stamp from the Razzle Dazzle stamp set, and Melon Mambo ink to make a little stamped border along the bottom of the card.


My thank you is from the "for all you do" stamp set...can't wait to play more with that one! I stamped it on whisper white cardstock with Rich Razzleberry ink, and then used my word window punch to punch it out. I layered my word window on a my Melon Mambo Modern Label punch! Isn't it a great fresh new shape!? Love it! I attached the sentiment to my card with some dimensionals.


Hope you have a wonderful one! Thanks so much for stopping by!! See you soon!!

LAD Blog Hop

Good morning and Happy Blog Hop! I'm excited to be part of the LAD birthday celebration! I'm taking my part in the fun Design Team Blog Hop! Did you know that the stamps that each Design team member spotlights on her assigned day are 40% off? Since I'm the second to the last dt member to participate in the hop, you have today and tomorow to enjoy the 40% of some fun stamps! Run, don't walk over to the LAD online store!

The stamp set that I'm using today is called Circle Sentiments. It is one of my all time favorite LAD sets! This first card is just a quickie. So, simple clean lines and very fast! I used some Soft Suede and my large scallop edge punch for a quick layer on my Crushed Curry card. I tied a Crushed Curry band around the card and then moved into my stamping.


I used my samj, to get perfect placement of my "thanks" stamp...how fun is that little semi circle sentiment! I stamped the sentiment in soft suede ink. Next, I moved onto my little soft suede scallop. I stamped the scallop image with soft suede ink onto soft suede paper. I cut it out with my little paper snips and placed it perfectly in the arc of the stamp! I next stamped the double scallop on whisper white cardstock with soft suede ink, then cut it out with my snips again. I stamped the flower image in crushed curry inside the scallop circle.


This next card is a super fun one...love the colors going on here! This paper is a new dsp from Stampin' Up! It's from the Sunny Day Simply Scrappin' Kit. I used a couple of different patterns of paper and then also used the textured cardstock that came in the kit. (when stamping on vacation, scrappin' kits are an awesome resource!)

I attached my two patterns of dsp on my Whipser White card. I used my scallop edge punch to give the turquoise pattern some scallop! I used a little slice of pumpkin pie cardstock across the seam of my two patterned papers. Even though my paper has pink passion, Melon Mambo coordinates really well with the paper! So, some Melon Mambo ribbon took a little run through the stapler and made some fun ruffles for the party card!

I stamped the happy birthday sentiment with pink passion ink. I used my circle punches to add some fun color, tempting turquoise, pumpkin pie, and pink passion. My little cupcake was stamped in pink passion ink and cut out with paper snips. I attached it with some dimensionals and then added a little pumpkin pie button...fun fun fun.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Can't wait until you get to see the new LAD release....you are gong to be so excited! Have a great one!!

Thinking of You

Morning friends! I hope you are doing well! We had a great time last night, we went to a performance of High School Musical 2...it was SO fun! My kids were in heaven! Myles and Lucy loved it, but Ruby might have more fun than they did! She was dancing and clapping through it all, a very fun night!


Today I've got a super quick and fast card. Sometimes, you just need a little something to pass along to one of those people that keep coming into your mind, right!? I love the color combination-inspired by some of Ruby's pjs! Crushed Curry, light blue and Melon Mambo.

I layered my Crushed Curry layer on my Whisper White card, then added the textured paper ric-rac from Doodlebug. I stamped my image, from the Trendy Trees stamp set, with Melon Mambo ink. A little band of Melon Mambo ribbon wrapped around and there you have it! It was perfect for a little summer "something"!

Hope you have a great day! Thanks so much for dropping by! Make it a great one!

Eat Cake!

Good morning friends! I hope you are enjoying a beautiful summer day! I am feeling good, new haircut...doesn't that always make you feel better! Now if I could just take this hair dresser home with me to Seattle!!

Today I want to share some new fun from the New Stampin' Up! catalog! I just got my new goodies from the UPS man and I'm so excited! This card is showing the fun birthday greetings of the Everything Nice stamp set. I think this set is a super fun one! Wedding, baby and birthday greetings can be found in this versatile set! My card started with the sentiment. I used my In Color markers(YEA Stampin' Up!!), to color the seperate lines of the stamp...a great way to use markers! I used Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry and Soft Suede. After coloring the stamp, I gave it a little "huff" of air to get the maker ink moist, and stamped it on whisper white cardstock. I layered my sentiment on some melon mambo cardstock and set it aside to work on the base of the card.

I started with a Soft Suede card. I layered a sweet layer of Melon Mambo dsp, and then a little strip of Crushed Curry dsp. Do you know how much I LOVE these new In Colors?! I used my Soft Suede ribbon--but didn't want to have polka dots--just a tad too busy, so I used the back side of my ribbon and there you have it, soft suede grosgrain with no polka dots! I ran a small strip of sticky strip down my card and then laid the ribbon on top of it, making pleats as I went down the card. I decided to use a little mini glue dot to hold the "ruffles" down, and was reminded how much I LOVE mini glue dots!

For the finishing touch, I added my sentiment block to my card with dimensionals. Super quick and easy with great products!

Have a great day! Enjoy the sunshine in your part of the world! Thanks so much for stopping by!! Stay tuned for some fun LAD celebrations! The summer release (which is FANTASTIC) is July 15th and they are turning 3 years old! Check out the fun here! See you soon!

Thanks So Much

Hello Friends! It's been a few days longer than I'd like to have shared with you! I planned on having auto uploads while I've been w/o internet service, but as I had a million and one things to do to get us ready to be out of town for a few weeks, it just didn't get done!

So, I'm at my mom's house for a few days before our other family reunion and have a few minutes to share! The UPS man is bringing me a box of fun new Stampin' Up stuff today...I can't wait!! I love being in Utah and ordering from Stampin' Up, it almost always comes the next day! Instant satisfaction!!

So, here is a fun summer card. The bright colors are of course, Crushed Curry and Melon Mambo. The bright blue is a doodle bug strip of scallops....a very fun product! I'm happy with the result of this card...but it was one of those cards that was a blunder after blunder!! But final result, I'm happy with. Do you ever have cards that don't quite go as planned?
I used the Razzle Dazzle stamp set for the great floral image on the Melon Mambo paper. It was stamped with Melon Mambo ink. I layered it on some Crushed Curry and then added the scalloped strips over the Crushed Curry. I tied it up with some Melon Mambo ribbon...LOVE that stuff!! And for the final touch, the Thanks so much sentiment from the Trendy Trees stamp set. Stamped in Crushed curry ink, I used my large oval and scalloped oval punches for it's frame.

Hope you are all doing well!! I'm hoping for time to play with new goodies today....YEA!! I'll be back to share tomorrow! Have a great one!! And thanks so much for stopping by!
