Butterfly Texture. . .

Inspiration in my mailbox. . .

Last week when I got home from work I had a surprise waiting for me in my mailbox from my up-line.  

She dropped off a little bag of goodies and this card she made.  Isn't it cool.....LOVE the dimension in her balloons!  

Thanks Denise! 

Love You Lots. ..

Isn't this guy just the cutest!  He is from one of the new Hostess stamp sets called Love You Lots.  

I used assorted green inks to color him for a multi- tonal effect. 

I made a little smudge so I had to grab my retired spritzer to cover it up by adding texture to the background. 

Painters Palette...A Happy Hello. . .

Here is a card I made using a bunch of products from the new catalog. 

It is a bright and cheery happy hello.   Note the shadow stamping I did on the greeting.....I stamped the greeting in two different ink colors slightly offset for a shadow effect.  

New Product Spolight. . . Sunshine Sayings Bundle

This bundle is found on page 97 of the new Annual Catalog.  It is very easy to overlook this bundle....hence my product spotlight. 

You can buy the bundle and save 10%- woot woot! Or you can purchase just the dies or just the stamp set.  

I LOVE the greetings in this set and the thinlet words are AWESOME!  

Check it out in your catalog!
