Sneak Peeks...

Good morning friends! I hope you are all having a great weekend! We've had a great week, jam packed with goodness, a princess party and then a bit of relaxation yesterday! It's so nice to have weekends to play catch up and have a little down time, don't you think!?

Today you are going to get a little sneak peek of some fun new LAD stamps! They will be released tomorrow, and you can enjoy the perks of a new release with a sale and all sorts of goodness!! Be sure to head to the LAD blog to see the full sets and the two singles that are being released...they are super!

I've got two cards to share with you today...saving more fun for this week! I've got some fun cards to share...it's so fun to have new stamps, don't you agree!? Anyway, this first card is showing a new single called "Merry Christmas." I love the look of the sentiment and think it will be a great addition to my collection for many a Christmas project this season!
I wanted to keep it simple and clean...I used the sketch from the OCC sketch challenge as my inspiration for the layout. I used Ripe Avocado, Chocolate Chip and some patterened paper from PTI for my paper choices. I also used some Chocolate Chip grosgrain and Avocado and Chocolate buttons. I used a little bit of Chocolate Chip glitter...and I came to the conclusion that I've missed my glitter!! It's been a while...so you'll be seeing a bit more glitter this week...such a great addition to any project!

This next card is showing a couple of images from the Vintage Birthday stamp set. Let me tell you something, I L.O.V.E, love this stamp set! It's so great! Another fun bit about this stamp set is that it has some FANTASTIC digital paper to match it! This cloud paper on my card is one of the beautiful designs of digital paper...perfect!
I paired my sweet cloud paper with some Summer Sunrise cardstock, and I'm loving the blue sky and bright sunny yellow together! I used my nesties to cut the ovals, tied some Summer Sunrise ribbon 'round, and colored my balloon with copics. I added a few little Summer Sunrise pearls, Kaisercrafts, to my balloon and I just love the look it gave the whole card!
I hope you enjoyed your little sneak peek...thanks so much for stopping by! Make today a great one!! Be sure to check back tomorrow for a few more bits of new stamps fun!!

Both gorgeous, Jeni! I love them both, but I especially love the hot air balloon! The place where my husband and I met was decorated with hot air balloon memorabilia, so it has a special spot in my heart! Lots of great memories!
