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 Preview--Day 1

Hey Peeps! I am thrilled to share an à la modes preview!  Today I will be sharing the newest à la modes called I need some face time.  Seriously!! I am a major iPhone user so I get "face time"!!

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!  Sweet deal right?

This week's challenge card is one of my absolute FAV layouts.  I love the placement of all the elements and had a lot of fun putting today's card together for the challenge.

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.

You Colour My World

Hey everyone!

I have a quick post tonight before my next teaser.  I couldn't help but share this cutie card I made.  I absolutely love this PI release from last month.  I paired it with a yummy new scallop ribbon die-namic released this month through MFT.  I loved this patterned paper because it gave me so many options to paper piece and to contrast varying patterns.

Parenting...

Hey Everyone!  Today I have the privileged of showing you a card using Clearly Sentimental About Parenting.  It was released in March and I had a chance to make a card using the set.  One of the most magnificent experiences in my life is being a mum.  The job is ongoing, challenging, rewarding...it makes you smile, it makes you cry...you are a nurse, a doctor, a teacher, an officer of the peace...and yet I wouldn't change a day of the experience.  Today's card is dedicated to all the parents out there.

Own Your Story

One of my favourite releases in April was Own Your Story.  I love all the words and details that have been put into this set.  I adore that paperclip too.  I decided to mix and match pieces of this paper collection for this set because the set is such a mix and match set.

Grad Girl

Hello everyone.  Happy Good Friday, Happy Earth Day, and Happy Birthday to two of my dear friends Ellen and Tracey!!

There is so much to celebrate today so I figured I would share a celebration card with you for a graduate.  A la modes are some of my favourite stamps from My Favorite Things.  I think what I love most about this image other than the happy grin is that HUGE diploma all scrolled up.  Honestly, when you graduate that paper seems THAT big.  Maybe because it's an amazing accomplishment.
