Let’s Celebrate You

I tell you this a sleeper stamp set! I’m so glad I took a second look at the Painted Poppies Stamp Set and Painted Moments dies. This set came out last spring as a whole Suite of products with a lot of Ta Da. The Suite had such a beautiful pack of Designer Series Paper and the lovely coordinating Poppy Moment Dies that this sweet Painted Poppies stamp set and pretty Painted Moments die set were far overshadowed. This #simplestamping card uses just Stamps, Ink and paper for a simple stunning look.

You’re One in a Melon

A rainbow of colors and watermelon are perfect for summer. Here in Florida it is rare if we don’t see a rainbow every day. We get such swift and severe storms in the afternoon that it can be pouring in front of us and sunny behind us- the exact conditions needed for a rainbow. Thank you 7th grade science fair project for that fun fact. LOL. Had so much fun creating this card with my friend Kim and her Cute Fruit Stamp Set.
