the stamp market guest - hello fall

I could not be happier to be guesting for The Stamp Market and amy today...eeep. These leaves....oh my, they are so pretty. I have watercolored them and added gold stikcles, because what is not to luv about gold glitter. I have created a card with a gift bag full of reese's mini peanut butter cups for a little giftie. Head over the The Stamp Market blog to read my entire post and be sure to do a little shopping...you will not be disappointed with The Stamp Market or their products!

sunday stamps - thinking of you

good morning peeps...it is time for another sunday stamps challenge and we are sharing a fabulous, bold & bright color combo! I have used tim holtz distressed inks and randomly swooshed them around with a piece of acetate and left pools of color for a bolder look. You can see my tutorial on ink swooshing here. I have used the stunning new turning leaves released from the stamp market. The leaves are so pretty, I wanted to leave them white and only added a bit of glitter/stickles. The sentiment is from the set called best ever greetings. I cannot wait to see what you create with this weeks fun colors. Check out the rest of the teams cards for even more inspiration!

words with meaning - your health is an investment, not an expense.
