A Christmas Card?

Yes, I've created a Christmas card for today!! Now I want you to raise your hand if you are like me...you stamp or print off images with specific projects in mind only for one reason or another those cards never get completed. I have a stack this high of digital images that I am trying to work my way thru (just like trying to use up my scrap papers!!!). And that's how this card was born!!! The sweet image is called Boy With Gift and can be found HERE. Yes, those are scraps of designer paper too along with some linen thread and a tiny button. So fun.

Don't forget about the surprise challenge (it's a sketch!!) and sale going on this week. You can read all about it HERE

It's Pumpkin Season!

It's funny how you are always ready for the season change
when it comes. I am so ready for Fall weather.. but sure enough  as soon as
it is time for Winter I will be longing for some colder weather and the hopes of a few
snow flurries here at the beach. 

When I think of fall, I think of the colors of course, but
I am always drawn to anything pumpkin.
Sheryl has created a delightful Fall themed card and I am 
so happy to be able to share it with you today!

She used the digital stamp

Let's Be Merry!

I am just starting to realize that Christmas is 
JUST AROUND THE CORNER!
It feels like I am still stuck in Summer limbo land. 
Temperatures still reaching high 90s here probably isn't helping. 


Linda has created and adorable treat of a card using our
Fresh Brewed Rubber Stamp



I LOVE these sweet papers and the cut out sentiment. 
ADORABLE!!! 

Be sure to stop by Linda's blog to find out more about this card.
