White Christmas

Hi stampers!  I don't think we will have a white Christmas this year, it's supposed to be at least 50 degrees!  It was so warm last year we played outside so maybe we can again this year!  I have mixed feelings about it.  I don't really like snow except for Christmas but I don't really like it being warm either, ha!

So, if you aren't going to have a white Christmas maybe you'll enjoy this card!

I finally broke out the outdoor adventure framelits and they are super cute!  I posted a little tip over on Instagram the other day when I made this card.  I cut out the trees and snow twice, once in white and once in green.  Then, I cut off the trees from the green one and glued them onto the white piece so that I had green trees on white snow!

Only a few more days until Christmas, I can't wait!

Happy stamping!

More Wrapping!

Hi stampers!  How about a card that looks like a present since I'm still in wrapping-you-know-where :-)

This one was quick and simple and fun!  I just love that plaid paper!

I used the cherry cobbler ribbon and just wrapped it around and added a bow with glue dots.  Markers on the stamp make a multi colored image easy!

Back to wrapping!

Happy stamping!

Wrapped in Love

Hi stampers!  I'm not sure if my presents will be wrapped in love...I'm hoping they will be wrapped period, ha!  I love wrapping but I always wait too long and have too much to do!  And I'm not very good at it hard as I may try, which adds to the frustration!  I really need to wrap as I shop next year!

But this card was easy and quick at least ;-)

This is my go-to sketch, you probably already know that!

Off to do more wrapping ;-)

Happy stamping!

Mad for Plaid

Hi stampers!  I'm furiously cranking out more Christmas cards.  Who knows if I'll send them but I'm TRYING to use some things that of course have sat unused since August...insert huge eye roll here...LOL!

I had to have the stitched Christmas dies and then didn't use them much so I whipped this up.  And I LOVE the plaid paper! I really love plaid around the holidays.  I have a number of plaid shirts and even a plaid puffer vest!  Looks pretty great on a card too!  :-)

This is a sketch from Freshly Made Sketches that popped up on my Facebook this weekend and it totally inspired me!

And I'm attempting to stage some of my photos.  I found these bells at Target and thought they'd look great.  I didn't think about being able to see my reflection in them, lol!  Ian sure did love carrying them around Target though, ha!

Hope everyone is staying warm!  Feels like NEGATIVE 15 here this morning!  Brrrrrrr!

Happy stamping!

Valentine's For Christmas

Hi stampers!  As I've said many times before, I don't feel super inspired or creative most of the time these days.  But every now and then I have a stroke of genius that makes me feel like I actually deserve to be on the Artisan team :-)

I have to say that I'm not a huge fan of the Valentine's suite and that's what makes me like this card even more!  I love when people use sets for non-obvious things and I feel like I'm not very good at that but then I made a Christmas card with some Valentine's stuff, heck yeah!  :-)

I seriously love it when a plan comes together and I totally thought that the little envelope would look amazing in our plaid paper!  And it did!

I'll come back later today (in a rush) and add the supplies I used.  But how cute is this card?  Gah!  

I hope everyone is staying safe and warm with all the crazy winter weather we are having over much of the country!  We need to venture out to finish Christmas shopping which is crazy enough the Saturday before Christmas weekend, right?

Happy stamping!

Hello December Album

Hi stampers!  I couldn't figure out what to share today as I was out of pre-edited projects.  As I was browsing my phone for photos, I came across the album I embellished the other day so I can put my project life pages from this month in as I get them done.  I'm trying to work little by little all month :-)

I love Project Life!  It's so easy to keep your memories without having to spend a ton of time on complicated scrapbook pages and it's CUTE!  Even if you don't memory keep or scrap much (or at all) Christmas is the prefect time to make an exception and the Hello December kits make it so simple!

I've never decorated one of my albums before but I'm glad I did because it turned out SO flipping cute!

Sorry about the shadow in the picture.  I have to work on my photography skills a little!

Here's how I decorated my album:

• I stamped the little stars from the accessory kit stamp set in white craft ink and added a few of the adhesive stars.
• The main panel is one of the PL cards and I overlayed it with one of the acetate cards from the accessory pack (the 2016).
• To help the overlay stay down I added some of the washi tape in the accessory pack
• I cut a few pine branches from emerald envy and then the mistletoe sprig is vellum (pretty pines thinlits).  I layered those behind a stitched shape.
• And finally, I added one of the wood trees from the accessory pack. 

I'll share a few of my pages soon!

Happy stamping!

Technique Thursday

Hi stampers!  Ok so technique Thursday doesn't have quite the right ring to it but it's Thursday and I tried a new technique.  If you know me, you know I don't do a lot of different techniques.  Why you may ask?  Well that's easy, I'm a lazy stamper...lol!  It's true.  If something takes a little bit of effort you can probably count me out!  :-)

But, since I've got this artisan gig going, I thought maybe I ought to step out of my comfort zone and try some new things.   It's probably just the push I've been needing for a while.

Especially around the holidays, with all the lights, I always love the bokeh technique in photography. If you're unfamiliar with it, it's basically out of focus points of light and looks similar to this:

Pretty, right?  You may have noticed one of my new photo backdrops is bokeh!  See, did you notice that before?

I will try to film a tutorial on this but with the holidays I'm not sure how quickly I'll get it done!  It's really pretty easy and you can always google it.  But basically, you use some watercolor paper and chose a few colors to place on the page at random.  You want to make sure all of the paper has color.  After it's dry you take a stencil with various sized circles (easy to make with some framelits and window sheets) and apply some white craft ink in various levels of saturation.  For my smallest circle size, I actually just used the sponge dauber itself without the stencil and made sure it was the heaviest saturation.  

I tried some other color combos but this is the one I liked best. I used mint macaron, emerald envy and old olive.

You should try it if you haven't.  If I can do it you surely can :-)

Happy stamping!

Joy To The World

Hi stampers!  This may be a quick post.  As I'm writing, my normal three hour napper has been in his crib close to three hours happily playing and not at all sleeping lol!!!!!   I'm not sure what's going to happen this evening!

And I don't even know if I have shared this card.  He's thrown me all off!  I made it quite a while ago so sorry if you've seen it before!  I wanted to make a Christmas card with the globe set since I saw it!

I'll try to edit and add supplies and tags later since I need to go get the non-sleeper :-)

Happy stamping!

Mailable Monday...On Tuesday

Hi stampers!  I didn't get around to posting for Monday, funny how that happens :-)  I had a big shopping weekend in Oak Brook with my very best friend who I've known since high school.  We had fun and shopped till we dropped, even in the snow storm!  And we SHOULD be well rested from two nights without babies but turns out we had a floor full of high school hockey players staying with us and they were SO LOUD around 11 each night.  UGH!  So much for a full nights sleep.  Her little guy doesn't love sleep the way mine does so I felt really bad for her.  The best laid plans, right?  Kind of like how I say I'm going to blog and stamp all the time, ha!

Anyway, somehow I STILL have more shopping to do!  Hopefully I'll get at least a little bit of it done today and tomorrow.

So how about a card that will go through the mail easily?  I actually cased this from the catalog just using some other stuff.  It used the stocking bundle which I don't have so this worked instead!

I hope you're done with your shopping and always have quiet hotel rooms ;-)

Happy stamping!

Fab Friday 102

Hi stampers!  Happy Friday!!!!!  I'm meeting up with my very best friend since high school for some Christmas shopping this weekend so I'm very excited.  Of course, it's supposed to be frigid and snowing and we'll be in Chicago land at OUTDOOR malls...who thought THAT was a good idea???

Anyway, while I'm out spending money and freezing, you should stay warm and cozy in your stamp room and play with us over at Fab Friday!  We have a color challenge for you this week and it's pretty festive!

It's that time of year, after all.  I have some new occasions goodies but I'm still in major Christmas mode over here so you KNOW what I made!

I've had this ornament stitched and on my desk for a while so I thought it would be perfect for this challenge!  I think I went too far with the rhinestones but what's done is done :-)

Make sure to play along with us!

Happy stamping!

A Christmas Two-fer

Hi stampers!  Sometime I have ideas and they don't turn out.  Occasionally, I have an idea and it turns out as well as I intended!  Today is one of those days.  You all know I love simple cards the best but sometimes those are the hardest to come up with!  I got festive season (the set that goes with the stitching Christmas dies) and haven't used them of course.  And let's be honest...I'm a lazy stamper, the stitching seemed like a lot of work ;-)  So, I came up with a way to use a couple of the solid images without stitching.  Don't forget, you don't always have to use bundles together!

I used wonderful year after stamping the tree and star.  Make sure to ink up your PP stamps really well for this and use a mat under your paper.  Solid images can be hard with PP stamps but the mat really helps.  Also, I usually ink up my stamps and stamp on scratch paper a few times then clean them on my stampin' scrub when they are new.  That will help the ink to stick.

My colors here are cherry cobbler, emerald envy and mint macaron.  I really, really love this one!

Here I used soft sky and dapper denim.

These would make really great mailable Christmas cards and would be easy to mass produce as well!  

I hope you like them as much as I do!

Happy stamping!

Tidings of Procrastination

Hi stampers!  So I've been sitting on this card for a couple of months.  Whoops!  I'm sure none of you are surprised, are you? :-)

This is another card I cased from the catalog but the project in the catalog wasn't a card.  But it totally works, right? I just love the colors of this DSP!  I would have never thought mint as a Christmas color but it totally works!

Happy stamping!

Warmth and Cheer

Hi stampers!  This card is pretty appropriate since we got our first snow of the season over the weekend and it was pretty significant.  Ian really loved it so it was fun to come out of church and see him all amazed and excited.  We played outside for a few when we got home and he really liked to catch snowflakes, hehe!

I can't wait to print out some pictures and get to work on my December Project Life album!

Anyway here's my cozy card using wrapped in warmth.  I used the decorative masks to make a sweater print background and I think it goes well with the plaid!  I actually cased a small card in the holiday catalog and turned it into this larger card.  Remember that caseing doesn't have to mean copying exactly!

Hope you're staying cozy and warm wherever you are!

Happy stamping!

Thankful for a Break

Hi stampers!  It's been quiet around here because I took some time off from blogging to enjoy some family time!  I didn't really mean to but I just never got around to blogging :-)  Jon left for China after Thanksgiving and I spent a few nights with my dad and step mom which we don't get to do too often, so we stayed really busy and had lots of fun!  Then we took off for my mom's farm since I don't like staying home alone :-)  But between my mom having to work her volunteer job a lot and my step dad hunting, I was pretty much alone with Ian anyway :-)

But, now we're home so it's back to blogging and stamping I hope!  Even though I'm pretty much in full on Christmas mode now, I had one more fall card I had yet to share.  Clearly, I'm still working on that watercoloring thing ;-)

I paper-pieced the basket and really like how it turned out!  This is also colored on shimmery white instead of watercolor paper.  Both are great for watercoloring!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  I'm so thankful for all the blessings in my life, including YOU!

Happy stamping!

Fab Friday 101

Hi stampers!  I hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving and ate way too much like I did ;-)  Ian had a really good time with everyone and his cousins this year since he's finally over his major stranger danger!  He was pretty much asleep standing up before his nap, so worn out :-)  He on the other hand, didn't eat a LICK of Thanksgiving food, he doesn't know what he's missing!

Anyway, it's time for a new challenge over at Fab Friday.  You should play along if you're not too busy Black Friday shopping!

I'm still working on my watercoloring skills so you're going to see this a lot :-)  

Make sure to check out what the rest of the team did and play along with us!

Happy stamping!

Hello Pumpkin

Hi stampers!  How can there only be a few days until Thanksgiving already???  My card today uses a pumpkin.  I have to say I'm not a huge pumpkin fan.  I do like pumpkin spice lattes and a few other pumpkin flavored things but not too many!  One of my faves though is my pumpkin pie cheesecake!  And I don't even like pumpkin pie, ha!  But, I'm pretty sure I'd eat about anything if you make it in the form of a cheesecake ;-)  I'm hoping that I can bake it at our destination and they won't be out of cream cheese or pumpkin or other vital ingredients!

I've had this little pumpkin stamped and sitting on my desk for a long time just waiting to be used as a card.  Well actually I had another one made with our current succulent set but when I got basket of wishes, the little plants in it fit SO MUCH better!  I actually saw a display card at onstage that had succulents in a pumpkin so great minds must think alike!  I have to say, I got the idea while looking at Pinterest and searching succulents.  It's a great way to come up with ideas for stamp sets...note I wasn't even looking for stamped projects ;-)

Mint macaron, always artichoke, and perfect plum are my go-to succulent colors as well!  I have rarely used artichoke and plum for a long time so it's always fun when something makes you pull out colors you tend to neglect!

This is also a great way to extend the use of your Halloween sets! The pumpkin is from jar of haunts!

Happy stamping!

Caseing the Catalog

Hi stampers!  I have a card today I cased from the holiday catalog.  I think this catalog has some really great samples!  I have a whole list of things I want to case but usually when I sit down I try to come up with my own ideas.  I have to remind myself to case sometimes :-)

I really liked this card!

Do you like the samples in the catalogs?  Do you case them?

Happy stamping!

Outside My Comfort Zone

Hi stampers!  I hope everyone had a great weekend!  I'm sharing something today that may not look like a typical "Mindy" card. I figure I really need to expand my range with this Artisan gig looming;-)

I'm really trying to get better at watercoloring so I finally bought basket of wishes (you KNOW it was the succulents that really got me, right?) to play with.  I have had some trouble stamping on our watercolor paper with our basic black ink (and stazon too, for that matter) so I did some asking around for advice and used it to come up with what I found to be the perfect solution.  I first inked up with versamark and then my basic black. It worked like a dream!  I think the VM really helps pick up and stick down the black ink.  I went a step further then, and heat embossed with clear powder.  It looks great and it helps the coloring a bit since it separates the colors slightly.  I highly recommend you try it!

I have also been thinking of using this pop of pink for a while and always seemed to forget.  I really like the bold look of it and I think it would look really good with quite a few ideas!  It's kind of unexpected in a "fall" card but I think it works!  I also love the combo and black and dijon!

I added a little bow of our gold twine from the holiday catalog and some burlap ribbon.  The sentiment may be a little occasions sneak peek that was an all attendee give away at OnStage called all things thanks.  And look closely and you'll see a tiny bit of a doily peeking out under it.

Don't be afraid to try new things, ok????

Happy stamping!

Merry Freaky Christmas!

Hi stampers!  It's time for the Control Freaks blog hop!

If things aren't working quite right on Saturday evening, make sure to come back Sunday morning!  You may have just from from Melissa's blog and her amazing projects but don't fret if you made it here another way.  We make an endless loop so just keep clicking and you'll see everything!

You'll also notice some more changes on my blog.  I got some new backdrops for my photos so I'm trying those out.  I hope you like them!  I'm also experimenting with my photo editing and edges of my photos.  If you have a minute, let me know what you think, ok?

This month's theme is my favorite, the holidays!

My first card it's really a tradition Christmas card but I kind of love it! And this is my kind of water coloring....no worries about inside the lines, haha!  I embossed the stars from the forever evergreen set and combined it with the sentiment from wonderful wreath!

And now for a more traditional card using holly berry happiness.  And look, more watercoloring!  I told you that you'd see more since I'm still practicing ;-)  I love how simple this card is yet it's pretty stunning if you ask me!

Now you're off to see my stampy bestie, Wendy.  I know you're going to LOVE what she has to show you!

Happy stamping!

Display Samples - Leftovers

Hi stampers!  I have the last two projects from the OnStage event.  I called them the leftovers because I totally forgot one card on my Christmas post and I forgot the other one in the annual catalog post.  Whoops!

Let's start with a very appropriate fall card...even if it felt like summer here yesterday and today at 70 degrees in mid-November!  I ran with Ian and wore shorts and a t-shirt!  Crazy!

I used cajun craze and delightful dijon with acorny thank you here.  I should have done some kind of splattering or something on the label background panel.  Darn!  The foil acetate makes a really classy fall card!

And now my poor forgotten Christmas card :-)  The wonderful year set looks great as a chalkboard, no?  Add some pretty pines and boom!  So cute!

I hope you've enjoyed my samples!  I had a lot of fun making them!  And now I'll be back to show you some of my backlogged regular projects :-)

Happy stamping!

Display Samples - Very Merry

Hi stampers!  Today my display samples are all Christmas cards.  You know me, I had to make some Christmas cards!  Christmas is my favorite!

The first card is probably my favorite and is a shaker card.  I used the pretty pines dies to make a little scene in my jar and added some mica flakes.  I think I made a boo boo and used the red foil when I meant to use the red glimmer paper, I hope you can forgive me :-)  The lid is embossed with the copper powder.  I also love the sentiment from wonderful year!

Here's a close up view:

I guess I was on a shaker card roll...for this one I did a watercolor wash on my background piece.  I cut out the word from the wreath framelits and added more micha flakes.  Simple but I think it's very pretty!

My final card uses some DSP from the warmth and cheer stack and the numbers from our numbers framelits.  I love stuff like this!

I hope you enjoyed these samples!  I only have a couple more to share!

Happy stamping!

Display Sample - I forgot!

Hi stampers, quick post this time.  I have a terrible headache as I'm writing this up!  Ugh, I even got a box of goodies today and they are lonely because I feel to terrible.

Anyway, I totally forgot to include this project in the annual catalog post so here it is:

I used the embossing folder on only about half of one of our cafe bags.  Totally fun!  And then I stamped four times and fussy cut out each section and pieced it back together.

Happy stamping!

Display Samples - Scrappy

Hi stampers!  Is anyone else thinking that it's crazy that Thanksgiving is NEXT week already?  Whoa!  Anyway, I'm sharing more display samples today!  Today I'm going to show you scrapbook pages I did.

For this page I used the all year long kit.  The bottom card is actually one of the larger cards with a 3x4 card on top of it.  The leaf is from the accessory pack.  Project life makes is quick and easy to make gorgeous pages that really focus on the photos!

My second page had to be Christmas, right? Two of my 2x2 squares are just regular card stock that I embossed.  Don't forget that you can make your own PL inserts!  The emerald ribbon is a little sneak peek!  It's so pretty!  And the other great thing about PL is that you can play around with your layout until it's just right.  I just laid my squares out on top of the page and moved them around until I felt they were balanced.  I didn't have to worry about gluing them down in the "wrong" spot!

And finally, a traditional scrap page.  The places you'll go set makes a great scrapbook page!  I heat embossed the globe on some watercolor paper and then just colored away.  And project life grid cards make it easy to journal...even if you don't like your handwriting ;-)

I hope you enjoyed my pages!  

Happy stamping!

Display Samples - Annual Catalog Inspiration

Hi stampers!  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  We had a very nice laid back couple of days!  I'm back today with more display samples from the event in Madison.  Some people did all of their samples with the new sets but I wanted to do some samples from the holiday mini as well as the annual catalog because I know people are also looking for inspiration from them as well.  I've got two samples today.  I'm going to try to get all of them shared with you soon so I can share things I've been stamping lately!

This first one may be my favorite sample.  You know I'm obsessed with the succulents in the live, love, grow set...so it's no wonder.  I used my clear wink of stella to put some background splatters on some tip top taupe.  I also embossed the succulents in white and watercolored them for a soft and blended look.  I LOVE it!

This card is basically a case of something I've done before.  I did a watercolor wash for my background and just layered away.  The little plus accents and washi tape are from the hello lovely PL kit.  Don't be afraid to break out the PL kits and accessory kits for cards!

I hope you enjoyed these samples.  I'll be back with more soon!

Happy stamping!

Somebody Pinch Me

Hi stampers!  So I don't normally post on the weekends anymore, but I'm killing some time on the couch tonight so I thought I'd do something.  If you saw my post about last weekend at On Stage in Madison then you saw my announcement that I have been asked to be a member of the 2017 Artisan Design Team!!!!  If not, surprise :-)  I thought I'd write a little more about it today.

To say that I am beyond honored to be a member is an understatement.  Some of my most favorite stampers have been or are on the team and it's a dream come true!  I honestly was pretty content just to have been one of the finalists the year they changed it to a design team.  That was a huge honor alone.  If you have dreams of being on the team, then apply!  And if you don't get it, keep applying!  If I can get there, anyone can!  And really, I still can't believe that I really made it, even after getting this pretty box with a couple of amazing surprises inside!

I was also happy that my friend Holly was at my location and she was also made the team, so we got to go on stage together :-)  I LOVE her work and am so excited to be on the team with her!

It's been hard to keep it a secret!  To be honest, I kind of forgot I applied earlier this summer :-)  You know, a certain little someone around here keeps me busy, I lose track of time, and brain cells!  I was on vacation in Florida/Alabama in October when there was a call from Utah on my phone.  My credit card had been hacked not long ago so I assumed it was a problem with my paper pumpkin processing, ha!  When I answered,  I realized it was my friend Melanie who works in concept art and something clicked and I ran outside as to not start crying in front of my hubby and mother in law and having them worry, ha!

Even as I type this, I still think sometimes I dreamt it all up!  Maybe when my first box gets here it will finally sink in...or when I'm scrambling to finish my first project? :-)  I really hope that I can help inspire you with my creations and that I can come up with stuff that's worthy of being on the team!

And thank you to everyone who has been rooting for me to make the team. And to all of you who read my blog!

Happy stamping!

Fab Friday 100

Hi stampers!  Happy Friday!  Today we're taking a small break from my display samples because it's time for another challenge at Fab Friday!  This week is a color challenge and we are at ONE HUNDRED challenges!  Thanks to all of you for playing along with us for 100 challenges!!!  That's kind of amazing!

While we may be taking a break from the display samples I still have a little sneak peek for you, surprise!  My card uses a stamp set from the upcoming occasions catalog that I won at OnStage last weekend.  Actually, I won another set but it was not my style at all so I was able to trade with one of my awesome table mates!  It was a win-win!

I did a watercolor wash after I stamped and embossed my focal point with the greeting from the window shopping stamp set.  It's a bit hard to catch in my photo but it's really pretty in real life.  I'm STILL working on my photography and editing skills :-)  I added a couple of the enamel shapes for a little pop of color.

I hope you'll check out the rest of the design team's projects and play along with us!

Display Samples - Happy New Year

Hi stampers!  I just want to take a minute to say, no matter where you are in the US or otherwise, I love you my friends.  I'm so happy that even when the world is a little topsy-turvy, we can make and share pretty things to hopefully spread a little love and kindness <3 p="">
Any who, moving on to more display samples.  I was a bit of a rebel it seems, and made a wide variety of projects.  While I love seeing new stuff, I also love seeing creations with stuff we already have, so I hope you do too!  And one of the items I was working with was the designer acetate that I used on my tag from yesterday.  If you recall, it took me about forever to realize it was double sided and the silver was on the back of the gold sheet I'd been working with :-)

I created this happy new year card since silver polka dots just seemed fitting!  I used the tin of tags set for the snowflakes and layered the acetate over with some glue dots behind the focal point.  I wasn't happy with how it was laying down near the top (or not laying down if you will) so I put just the tiniest dots of our fine tip glue pen behind a few of the dots.  The TINIEST of dots.  The cheers stamp is actually from the oh happy day card kit and I paired it with the sentiment from teeny tiny wishes.  The fancy frost sequins were the finishing touch after some vellum and a doily.

I hope you enjoyed this sample!

Happy stamping!

Display Samples - Dragonflies

Hi stampers.  Happy Election Day...or maybe not ;-)  Don't worry, I don't get very political as I feel it's a very personal thing but I hope everyone in the good ole' USA got out to vote!  It's a privilege and a right that many have suffered and died for!

Ian has a little Melissa and Doug calendar with magnets (I may be lazy and not change them out every single day, hehe) and you can put a special event on it.  Well, there wasn't an election day magnet so I put the President's Day one up there because in a way, it is still correct, ha!  And it had a flag on it ;-)  I actually should use my stamping prowess and make some special magnets for us but there's no room for any more on the little storage board, hehe.

Anyway, since I know most everyone is TIRED of politics, how about some pretty pictures?  And pretty pictures of NEW stuff????  These are two more samples using the dragonfly dreams set and matching framelits from the upcoming Occasions catalog.

The dots on the side are one of the stamps in the set and I LOVE them!  They will be a great addition to all kinds of projects.  I stamped a more solid dragonfly in mint macaron and old olive (it's a 2 step stamp set) and then I cut another in a more detailed image from vellum.  It's difficult to catch in the pictures, but I also covered the vellum in clear wink of stella so there is some shimmer.  I finished it off with the sentiment in perfect plum and some white accents and silver thread.

For my little treat bag, I used one of our kraft tag a bags and just folded it over.  I tied some new emerald envy 1/8th taffeta ribbon around and went to town on my tag.  It was cut with the scalloped tag topper punch out of our fabulous foil designer acetate (that's a mouthful....).  A little hint about those sheets...they have a protective backing on them so you'll want to make sure you peel it off before using it.  I may forget now and then ;-)  Also, did you know that one side of them is gold and the other is silver?  I kept looking for the silver sheets when I got it.  I finally flipped one over and went "ah-ha"!  I stamped the dragonfly in mint macaron and then the sentiment in emerald envy.  Some gold sequins finish it off!

I hope you enjoyed this little sneak peek.  I also hope you like my new photo back drop and photo editing.  I'll be back with more projects soon!

Happy stamping!
