Hello

 
One of my favorite products in the new Occasions catalog is the Petite Petals stamp set and coordinating punch.  It works great with the Flower Shop stamp set and matching punch too.  This card also uses the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper which is great because it looks like you spend a long time actually watercolor painting when all you really have to do is cut it and adhere it to your project.  I love simple wow’s like this.

Life is wonderful


 It’s a brand new year and while I am very grateful for everything that happened in
2013 (many, many blessings to say thank you for) I am also looking forward to a New Year!

I wish each of
you a very Happy New Year — may all your hopes and dreams for 2014 come true.  Like the card above says, “Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be wonderful”.

Today I am busy
playing with some of the new items from the Occasions Catalog — woohoo it
starts on Friday.  
So don’t forget
to get those last few goodies from the Holiday Catalog before they are gone
forever and get ready to enjoy all of the new toys in the Occasions Catalog.

Happy Watercolor

This card makes me happy, as it reminds me so much of spring.  It’s very simple yet oh, so stunning.  The “water color” splashes are done with a new stamp set called Happy Watercolor.  The butterflies are punched out of scraps of card stock and just a little bling with our Candy Dots.
