Hello Dahlias

Hey Everyone.. I know..! I am back with another card today..! Yeah me :) I have been stalking the set Regarding Dahlias since the set came out in the new catty, and I finally broke down and got it my last order..I have spied SO many Uber gorgeous creations with this set, I  hope I can do it justice. Here is my go at it -

 

 

I kept it real simple considering this gorgeous bloom needs no help at all. I layered the two Elegant eggplant blooms once, and the Primrose Petals one three times to help it stand out a little more. Hello Dahlia.,. I think this is going to a beautiful friendship. :) Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Riding by..

Hello Everyone... I had time to get another sample yesterday.. SQUEE! I broke out this months Paper Pumpkin kit, made some cards from the kit, and felt inspired to make a card from the scraps on my desk. To me that is the one reason I really love Paper Pumpkin..you can make the cards in the kit, but you get to keep the Exclusive stamps, .. I have yet to be disappointed with any of the kits.. really! Here is my inspired card -  

 

 

 

 

Cute Right? I used up some of the Crisp Cantaloupe DSP scraps, and love the outcome. :) SU is offering a Paper Pumpkin Promo that ends this month if you would like to get your hands on these exclusive stamps.. your first 2 months of the Paper Pumpkin subscription is 1/2 off,  just $10 a month. So if you have had it on your list, this is the time..:) OK, off to get the day finished so I can play some more later.. it is a long weekend right! Whoop! Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Cantaloupe Love

Hey Everyone.. :) It's been awhile, and I have missed you, so I hunkered down today and decided I need to play with some stuff from the holiday catalog. I also haven't really touched any of the new in colors for this year... Got my work cut out for me right? Well here is my creation for today -

 

 

 

I used the new Expressions thinlits dies, and some new papers, Smokey Slate, and Crisp Cantaloupe.

If you look close, I used the Oh, Goodie! too, just hard to see in this picture. I wanted the Smokey Slate "Love" to stand out a little more than the white ones, so I die cut three of them and glued them together.. Really made a difference.. OK, I am going to try to get another sample done, so I can come back tomorrow... :) Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Sampling the Open Sea

Hello Everyone! I have some more to share today.. :) A few weeks ago I made myself a sampler with the Setting Sail Photo polymer set and I just love LOVE it! You guys liked it too.. Thanks! Someone else that fell in love with it was my Mom.. So off I went downstairs and created another Sampler with a nautical theme....

I couldn't make our Samplers exactly the same now, could I? I used some retired DSP (which is one of my goals this year) that was perfect with her living room decor. She Loved it!! OK, that's it for me today... Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!

Hello Everyone! I found some time to get downstairs today, and had every intention of sharing a new creation with you, but time simply ran out... So What a better time to share a creation with you that I created while being a Dirty Girl for Splitcoaststampers -

 

 

This is Certainly one of my most favorite creations while on the Design Team. The pattern for the Cake Slice Box is from the SU pattern library from forever ago, so I do apologize for not having a source for the pattern. OK, I am off to get a head start on tomorrows chores so I can hopefully share some new paper goodness tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek!
