HUGS

I had SO much fun with this card! I can't tell you how excited I am about the new stamp sets this month! I have been wanting a circus themed set, and TAWS' version is perfect! For this card, I used two sets - Party Animal and Admit One (both available on August 1st), and an older set, Get MOOvin. I started out with a digi template that can be foundhere. I only used the tent shape and embellished it on my own. Instead of making a shaped card, I adhered the tent to the front of an A2 card base.



Be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win some of the new release!! Next stop on the hop... BARB! Thanks for stopping by!! :)

From the Heart {Clear and Simple Stamps}

Hello there! My order from Clear and Simple stamps arrived, and I had to make something right away! :) Boy, oh boy... SO many cute things at CSS lately. My newest love are their Ragdolls. It was so hard to choose just a few. I knew right away that I needed Wesley... you see, he reminds me SO much of my adorable nephew Malakai, with his crazy hair. I also picked up a set that had been on my wishlist for quite some time - Cart Parts. And of course, so card is complete without a cute little orange cat. ;)



Here is Malakai (otherwise known as my little baby BFF). He is 14 months old, and one of my most favorite little people. Now do you see why I needed Wesley? ;)

Papertrey Ink July Blog Hop

It is so hard to believe that it is time again for another PTI blog hop! Where are the month going?!?! This month's challenge is inspired by this photo:



I am not gonna lie... for some reason, this combination of colors was really hard for me, I guess because it involved colors that I don't reach for often. After making (and trashing) three other cards, I finally finished one that I was happy with. I used the Friendship Jar Fillers stamp set and a sentiment from Happy Trails.



Can't wait to hop and see what everyone else has to share! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Stamps: PTI Friendship Jar Fillers, Happy Trails
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Paper: Stampers Select White, Berry Sorbet, Summer Sunrise Pattern Paper Pack
