Just Give Me Stamps...

Snow...

Yes, it has actually been SNOWING here the last several days!  Thankfully the weather reports show that it might actually get into the 60's in the next couple of days!  Heat wave!!  LOL!

The good thing about snow in June is it helps put me in the mood to start stamping my Christmas cards early!!  Woohooo!  I'm hoping that come end of October, I will have them all finished!  :-)

Don't you just adore that little chubby snowman?  He has completely stolen my heart!  :-)  Not only are there super cute snowmen (or ladies) included in the Swanky Snowdudes (from Paper Smooches) set, but there are all sorts of accessories you can add to them to make them your own!  You don't have to wait long to see them, because tonight at Midnight all three new sets (Swanky Snowdudes, FOLKal Points, & Word Up) will be released!!  :-)

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope your day is fabulous!  ~Laurie

Darling! Is that real or faux stitching along your edge? Love how it finishes it off! TFS!

Congratulations, Luanne!!  Courtesy of Kim (owner of Paper Smooches), you are now the proud owner of a shiny new FOLKal Prints set!!  :-)

Oh...to answer your question, yes that is faux stitching!  It's actually a stamp that is included in the FOLKal Prints set!  How cool is that!!  :-)

Thanks to everyone for their sweet comments!  You definitely brighten my day!

Hugs,

Fun Vintage Flowers...

A great big happy Friday to you!  It is hard to believe that May is almost over, but I am so looking forward to summer!  :-)

With the end of May, comes a goodbye to Spring until next year.  Before that happens, I thought I would sneak in a few more Spring inspired, blossom filled cards!

Oh how I love the Laced with Grace Collection!  Warm, serene, flower filled...just like a beautiful Spring afternoon!

Ok, I cannot get enough of these Glitzers!!  Vintage stickers that have itty bitty rhinestones on them already??  That is what I call perfection!  :-)

My next card has a different feel to it, using some fabulous Love Games papers!  I warmed the gray and cream color scheme up just a bit by adding another gorgeous Glitzer!

I stamped the frame (from the Love Games clear stamp set) onto vellum, trimmed it, adhered it to my card, and stamped a sentiment on the flowing banner.  Instead of ribbon, I pleated some Love Games gray/black paper and adhered that across my card.

I'm so glad you stopped by today!  Have a wonderful weekend!  ~Laurie

I used the soon to be released FOLKal Prints set!  In fact, I used SIX of the images from the set!  The first thing I thought of when I saw this set was those fun folk art prints that had a gray/black background and fun images and colors that together made a wonderful country scene.  I can't even tell you how much fun I had creating this card!  These images are SO much fun!  :-)

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Big hugs, Laurie
