Today I'm sharing a project using the NEW Fall Sampler stamp set. There are a variety of new sentiments in this set (i.e. Thanksgiving, Fall, and one for Halloween), as well as some leaves and a couple of larger word sentiments [which you will see one in my creation below!!!!].  

I absolutely looooooooove how this card turned out! That little metal fox embellie is my favorite! 

I combined a couple of the NEW Fall Sampler sentiments for the main statement. I also used a leaf stamp from that set behind the NEW Leaves 2 dies stamp set. This was a fairly simple card to put together--- stamping, stitching, adding embellishments, DONE! 

Be sure to stop by the PS blog for details about this blog hop and giveaway! And don't forget to leave some love on the DT's blogs:) I can't wait for you to get the NEW October stamps/dies! LOVE LOVE LOVE! 

That's it for me today- THANK YOU so much for stopping by! Be blessed!

Paper Smooches: September ANYTHING GOES challenge #3

Hello, friends:}

I'm back on the Paper Smooches blog sharing the Sunday Recap and a new creation for the September ANYTHING GOES challenge. 

This was a hard card to make... I couldn't get the design the way I wanted it... but I think it turned out super cute! I used some of my old supplies (which makes this perfect for the Sav Challenge!!!). Supplies include the  PS Hearts, Polaroid, and Welcome Word dies and the The Welcome Wagon stamps set. 

I created this card for our neighbors (who moved in four or five months ago! EH! A bit late... but that's ok as long as I add some cookies or a candle! LOL 😝😁😉).

EASY! OH--- and add some silver splatters :) Supplies include the  PS Numbers dies and Birthday Bash and Digits stamps sets.

Paper Smooches challenge- September 2016

Hello, friends:}

Today we start a NEW Paper Smooches monthly challenge. The challenge for September is...... Anything Goes! 

Sometimes you just need to have an "anything goes" "free for all" "easy" challenge! LOL 😁

I created this birthday card for a family member- there are LOTS of birthday cards that I need in the next month... you might be seeing a lot of birthday creations for my challenge submissions! LOL! I used the PS Delightful Greetings, Birthday Bash, Heart Frame, and Linked Hearts stamps/dies. This card came together fairly quickly- layer patterned paper, add stitching, add die cut embellishments, stamp sentiments, add final embellies (enamel dots, gold splatter, etc.). Easy! 

That's it for me today! I hope you will join in the fun--- you could win a $50 gift certificate to the PS store!!! Be sure to stop by HERE to link up and to play along!
