Swinging Bears card


This is going to be my go-to card if I need a card for a wedding, an anniversary or just as a love card.  These 2 little bears are just so adorable sharing the rope swing.  I was so happy to remember that I had the background book with such a variety of different designs and picked the wood grain for my bottom sheet.

Meet Me At The Lake card


As a Minnesota girl (growing up), this new stamp set from Newton's Nook was a must for me.  I spent many weekends out in a fishing boat and a couple in a canoe on a river in the heart of the state.  I colored the canoe as what I remember my rental looking like.  I used distress ink to color in the beach, lake and sky.  I pulled down some of the sky as a reflection in the lake.  I added Wink of Stella to the dragonfly wings to make it pop.

Lost At The Lake card


A nice refreshing drink in your hand and a quiet lake and trees in the background sounds heavenly rather than being in the heat of the city.  I used a couple different stamp sets from Newton's Nook to create this card.  I used 2 different colors of stamp pads for the background pines across the lake.  I used a burlap for create texture for the sand.

I Spot A Great Friend card


My willpower lasted 10 seconds in resisting these cute little leopards.  There's so many fun cards you can make with the stamps.  I phoned a friend (texted) to have her help with which saying to use...she picked my favorite for the scene.  I should send her a card but now she's seen this one.  Next card.  I layered 2 different grass sizes and colors to add some depth.
