Hey everyone!  I have been on a roll over the past few days...

Last month MFT released a fabulous set called Just My Type.  This is a set with endless possibilities set.  I had a lot of fun putting together a shabby chic kind of card.  While I like cutesy I also like to work my style a bit and try something that is more out of the box for me.  This card is jam packed with punches and dies.  My favourite part was the edging and sewing.

à la modes:
• I Need Some Face Time
• I Treasure our Friendship

Just a reminder, in the past, we've released our à la modes images in cling rubber, however, this month, we're releasing both of our à la modes in clear photopolymer, just like the rest of our stamps.  This means that we can bring them to you a slightly lower price point than usual - $9.00 each!  How fabulous is that?!  Since our clear stamps are made in the USA, they are of the highest quality, so you'll have the same great image quality that you're accustomed to with any of our other clear stamps!  

Are you ready for more inspiration? Hop on over to Inge's blog to see her beautiful card!  Wait until you see those  I hope you enjoy the hop!

Here is my take...

I don't think I could ever tire from friendship cards so you can imagine how excited I was to play with this month's Clearly Sentimental About Friendship release this month.  I enjoy sending my friends a card from time to time or delivering one in person.  I was pleasantly surprised to find out that some of the sentiments actually fit in a previously released die-namics called Framed Greetings. I used the patterned paper as my colour inspiration and was pleased with how this card turned out.

I am thrilled you stopped by today! One of my fav releases this month is Up Up and Away.  I am a big fan of hot air balloons.  In fact, navigating the sky in one is on my bucket list.  There is something dreamy about floating in the sky.

I really wanted to make this card simple and decided to layer the card in white and edge it in blue to represent the clouds and the sky.
