Chosen Family!

They say you can't choose your family.

That might be true of the family you are born into.....but you certainly can choose those people you want to be a part of your family....and some turn out to be the dearest ones in your life. 

Here's to family by choice. :-)

Love this sentiment and the group of sentiments that come with it!

Another great Sale-A-Bration set you'll definitely want to have!

"Part of My Story" stamp set is FREE with a $50 purchase.

All of it's sentiments could be used in my latest card design....along with many different color combos! Imagine the possibilities! :-)

I used the "All My Love" DSP from the Occasions Catalog. It's such pretty paper!

Go on! Have fun!

Stitched Blessings!

The Holiday catalog has some amazing sets in it, and some are SO versatile that they can be used all year long for any type of sentiment. 

'First Frost' is one of those sets! Its very pretty and simple in it's ease of stamping and cutting out the images with the matched die cuts. Any color could be used for the flowers....it's all in your own imagination! :-)

I decided to incorporate 'Stitched Labels' Framelits into this design, and create my own background papers using the 'First Frost' stamp set. I also LOVE the 'Buffalo Check' background stamp and found it worked well with the floral background. 

Have fun stamping your own backgrounds and layering with your die cuts!

Don't forget it's Sale-a-bration time! FREE stamps, etc for every $50 you spend!

Snowfall!

Pink and gray.....always so pretty together and seemed fitting for use with the new snowflake set!

I'm a little late in posting this card, as Christmas has passed, but you can put any sentiment on this snowflake! :-)

Hampton Roads is biding our time for the first snow fall!

Our chances come this month, I think. :-)
I hate the snow as much as I love it....makes getting to work treacherous
but the beauty of it is undeniable.

Speaking of the snow, the snowfall die cuts are really neat!
Unfortunately they were available for only a short time and are no longer available.

Buffalo Check used again! Are you tired of seeing it used in my cards, yet? 

It's my go-to background stamp now when I don't have any DSP in the colors I need. :-)

This time I stamped it in Smoky Slate and then used my Petal Pink and Crumb Cake Blendabilities to add character to the stamped image and have it work with my design.

Hope you are inspired to break out your snow flake dies and layer and have fun with pink and gray!

Country Winter!

"Winter Woods' stamp set again! I can not get enough of this set!

Paired with the new 'Dashing Deer' bundle and you cannot go wrong!

You might get tired of seeing the 'Buffalo Check' stamp set, but it's SO USEFUL, I can't stay away from it! Here, I stamped it in Early Espresso on Cherry Cobbler......love!

Trees, deer and plaids....it all goes together for a Country Winter!

Makes me want to curl up in front of the fire with a good book and a cup of hot, steaming coffee! :-)

I'm ready for a quiet, get-back-to-nature, cabin getaway in the mountains....can you tell? :-)

Hope these cards give you that warm and cozy feeling!

Grateful

The weather has been SO strange this Fall....going from abnormally warm to cold overnight. The trees barely had time to change before the leaves fell off them....and then there are buds?! My lemon and lime trees are blooming!! Hoping that I can save them indoors and they'll produce! :-)

Going to be an interesting adventure in horticulture in my house this year!

In keeping with Fall, I used the wonderfully versatile Rooted in Nature stamp set.
This one sure rivals the long time standing Lovely as a Tree, don't you think?
I just love all the elements in it, with both sentiments and nature images!!

The veiny leaves are incredible to work with and are gorgeous stamped in any color.
I just know you will love this set as much as I do!

Don't forget the matching die set to make it perfect and complete! :-)
Grab a little extra paper and whip out some 3x3 notecards too!

~Happy Stamping!
