Fairy Tales: You Shine

I *think* I have a new favorite set of Nesties.... love, Love, LOVE the Big Scallop Nestie sets, oh my goodness are these ever fun! Obviously the oval shape is a huge favorite of mine so had to start with those first, LOL! I used the flower and sentiment from Fairy Tales and the butterfly is from Spring Has Sprung. The flower was paper pieced with some patterned paper from Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety (and honestly another new fav...) This is bad, would you call it an addiction? New stamps, Nesties, and Patterned Paper just sets my heart aflutter in a silly kind of way :o) Well, that is enough *silliness* from me today... I hope you have a wonderful weekend...

Blessings,

Tuesday Trigger

I made this card for the Tuesday Trigger over on the Moxie Fab Blog this week. Here was the actual Tuesday Trigger brought by Carolyn King:

I just loved the wicker chair and the pop of green from the pillow. I used three different stamp sets for this one, a label from Lovely Labels, the butterfly from A Beautiful Life (which I popped up with a glue dot in the center), and the sentiment is from Spring Has Sprung. The texture was created with a Cuttlebug folder and lightly sponged with Cocoa Bean ink. Hope you are having a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Blessings,

Gina K March Release Preview Day 4

Have you enjoyed the sneak peeks at the new releases this month....well hold onto you socks, there are THREE more...
First up is Nana's Needlework and the accessory set Nana's Needlework Sentiments from Nina Brackett:

I absolutely adore this stamp set and recently bought some of the Cosmo Cricket Material Girl patterned paper (which Gina will be adding to her store tonight...eeeks!) I used Lipstick Red and Sweet Corn Cardstock for my card. The wooden shelf has a nice country feel to it and you will love what you can add to it. :o) I had such a hard time sharing just one, but will have several others to share using this set at the release party...

Next up is Rupa Shevde's set Spring Has Sprung which has some adorable images and sentiments:

Is that duck a cutie or what? It just makes me smile which is why one of the sentiments in this set is so sweet. I was in a paper piecing mood and paper pieced the duck taking a ride. The patterned paper is Basic Grey Origins and matches so well with Fresh Asparagus and Sweet Corn.

It has been just a thrill to tag along with the Gina K. Design Team this release and I truly appreciate the opportunity to "walk with the big dogs" :o) Thanks Gina and DT!!!
