Butterflies in fall colors

This was my swap for September's club. The theme was butterflies, but I'm feeling *SO* happy fall is making an appearance! I used Pool Party (ok, not that fall-ish), More Mustard, and Calypso Coral. Isn't it fascinating how a color combination can change the entire feel of a card?

Is it fall yet where you are?

Falling into fall

The new Holiday Mini Catalog is now live! There are so many GREAT new stamps and products, I hardly know where to start. This is a swap I made with the set Gently Falling. I used the gorgeous new DSP, Spice Cake, and brayered Cherry cobbler over the vanilla pattern in the middle. The ribbon is also new to the mini catalog--Quilted Early Espresso Satin Ribbon in 3/8" width. The background is stamped with the outline images from this set, but each one has a matching "filler" image. I love sets like this, and I hope to have many more samples to show you this fall! If you have not received a copy of the Holiday Mini, you can click HERE to view it online.

Simply Adorned Charms

These are some charms I made for my Simply Adorned necklace. The canvas is so small, it's quick to do! I made the pinwheels by cutting a 1 inch square from In Color DSP Stack. Just cut in close to the center from each corner, put a tiny glue dot in the middle and fold down the cuts. Add a brad to complete. The floral image is from the Beau Chateau DSP. I added a few pearls to the flower centers for fun.

What have you put in your Simply Adorned charms???

Kindness matters

I really liked this set on my first look through the 2011-2012 catalog. It just *called* to me! It's simple and small, but I love the butterflies! (Kindness Matters p 121, $8.95 clear)

I added a print from the yummy Beau Chateau DSP, as well as Victoria Lace, Pink Pirouette Taffeta, and a teeny Vintage Trinkets pin. Which you can't see behind the little ribbon knot. lol

Anyway, don't overlook the smallest sets in the catalog! They can be charming and really easy to use!

A little giftie

This is one of my little gifties for my Convention roommates--I don't know if they'll use the hair pins, but they were fun to give! The packaging is what I wanted to show you. The base is a Top Note cut from First Edition DSP, then folded over. The black pennant and the Wisteria circle come from the new Pennant die--it's so fun to use! The Vanilla and black flowers come from the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch. It's easy to fun gift packaging with our dies, punches, and Designer Series Papers! 

Monkeyin' Around

Inspired by an adorable swap I received from my good friend, Stacy McCain, at Regionals in March. And of course the doodling is inspired by my brilliant friend, Brandi Wiggins. I made this for my club swap in August--the theme was "animals." I think it would make a great baby card or child's birthday card. It features the new Big Top Birthday DSP as well as the new Scallop Dots Chocolate Chip Ribbon.

The summer has roared past, and it seems like the days just get busier. We're drying cherries today, and soon it will be time for the all-day peach canning marathon! Hope your summer is filled with sweet things!
