And so it begins....

Hi stampers!  Today is the end of my summer!  Football starts so it's all business for me from here on out and nights and weekends:(  Hopefully I'll find some time to stamp though!  It's cooled down a bit here thank goodness!  I hope it stays that way for the kids...and for me, ha! 

So are you sick of seeing Perfectly Preserved yet?  I hope not because I really like it and can't stop using it!  This card was created from a sketch I had pinned on Pintrest.  I had taken a break from Pintrest for a while but now I'm back pinning like mad, ha!  I have an app on my phone so I like to pin during commercials if I'm watching TV or in the car!  I'll probably be pinning in my down time before practices and games now too, lol!

I also really love the colors in the orchard harvest DSP.  It's so rich and pretty! 
Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Perfectly preserved, friendly phrases, tiny tags, lovely little labels
Paper:  Very vanilla, crumb cake, early espresso core'dinations, orchard harvest DSP
Ink:  Early espresso, more mustard, island indigo, lucky limeade, raspberry ripple (or primrose petals by accident)
Accessories:  Woodgrain embossing folder, sanding block, cannery framelits, linen thread, little labels punch pack

I think I might have stamped the apples in the wrong color (primrose petals) but you really can't tell too much.  Oops:-)  I got another (I know..I know) box of goodies last week and the core'nations paper was in there so I wanted to try it out on this card. In my defense I HAD to order since we got a deal at convention on some items...I HAD to right? :-)  We won't talk about the mistake I made in ordering stuff I already had that I didn't need....that ever happen to anyone else???  I'll have a video soon for you on how to use the paper.  I don't have enough time to edit it today before I have to go to foozball! 

Come back later this week to see my Artisan entries!  Us finalists will be starting a blog hop on Friday! 
Happy stamping!

  2. Hey, there are apples called "Pink Lady" so maybe that's what kind you've got! ;)

    Any tips for getting the pennant / banners cut evenly? Mine tend to look lopsided and I keep cutting and cutting... :\

  3. Hey, there are apples called "Pink Lady" which sounds like primrose to me!

    Any tips for getting the banners cut so evenly without looking lopsided? :\

  4. Boo for the end of your summer! Hooray for a fab card! Love all the bright colors and that new card stock is the bomb-diggity. I've been a pinning fool lately, too. Must be all that "extra" time I have lately. Loll! Hope your week is going well! :)
