Delightful Garden in Bloom

Today we head back home from the coast. I sure will miss it. Its almost fall here in California and although I know we need the winter to come with all its rain, my heart still wants it to be summer. Or perhaps spring as its a more tolerable temperature. I still had the Garden in Bloom set out from a few projects ago so I grabbed for that for this card.

Scary Window Scene

Today my husband and I are headed to the coast for a few days for our anniversary. I can't believe how quickly 3 years has gone by. I was trying to get some projects done for post this week before I left and I had the Among the Branches set laying out after creating the card for our blog hop and I decided to do a little something different with it. I used the embossed tree image behind the window cut out. Isn't it great??

 

 

 

This is also the first time I've used the brick wall embossing folder. Oh boy, do I see lots more cards using that!!

Watercolor Wings Vellum Butterflies

I've been playing with some of my new stamp sets. I just cant believe how long I've let these sets sit without touching them... They are amazing!! I used the Watercolor Wings set for this card:

 

 

 

 

 

Once again, I had picture issues with this one. I just couldn't get a good angle that showed the striped background paper on the inside of the card. It shows thru under the cut out butterflies. It's just so much better in person :( Either way, I still think it's nice.

Special Bee Garden in Bloom

So I've been pretty absent from my blog lately. I'm hoping to change that starting this week. I only have a few horse shows left this year so I should have some more free time soon. I have a ton of new (to me) stamps sets sitting on my desk that I haven't even touched. I decided that had to be fixed right away!! I reached for the Garden in Bloom set and I just went crazy with it. Here's one of my creations:

 

 

 

 

I just love the little bee in this set. He's just adorable!
