    Many Thanks – Perennial Essence

    Let’s talk a little more about this DSP. The 12 x 12 pack could go both masculine or feminine, also flowery or not. I sure hope that I have showed you how beautiful and versatile the Perennial Essence Suite (pg 107 AC – 152166) can actually be! As you know, I love to carry small 3 x 3 cards in my purse. Need to restock so here are the perfect ones to use! Adding to the Suite of products, the Itty Bitty Greetings (146667). It has about EVERY holiday/event you would need a sentiment.

    9/14 Coffee and Cards

    Coffee and Cards this week we are still working with the Perennial Essence Suite (152166). Today though we are working with just the leaves. There are two different types of leaves. Lets take a closer look…. I started with was the middle card this week. Punches, and a pretty edge. Do you see the Stitched Shapes die (145372)? Adding that to the second and third card holding the sentiment. First up, stamp, ink and paper. I sponged the separate sentiment piece so that it would POP! Keeping with the power of 3, like last week, leaves, ribbon and embellishments were added. The Braided Linen Trim (147808) is shown “pulled” apart,…

    Sampler part 1

    So, I do not forget…. I want to thank, once again, Sugar Shack Bakery in Plymouth for her beautiful flower cookies that matched very well!!

    “Truck Swap”

    You are wonderful!! Hope you are having a Great Sunday!! Traveling back home today and figured the “Truck Swap” would be a good share today. So, traveling to/from Minnesota with four other ladies, we decide (I decided) that we should do a swap…. Here is the one that I shared, I can not wait to share what the other ladies made! You know that Highland Heather was going to be involved, right?? The Rooted in Nature (146482) Suite needed some love too. Have you gotten the Rectangle Stitched Framelits (148551)?? The detail on the edge of the sentiment was just the added touch I was looking for. The “log” stamp…
