Paper Sweeties July Release Rewind!!!!


Hi there!

Well, today is the wrap up of Paper Sweeties July release!  And, I would like to share with you a project I made for a friend's birthday.  I've used many stamps on the cover of this notepad holder.  But, oh what fun I had making this little summer scene!Here is a photo of the inside with the notepad...


I began with paper piecing and coloring sweet little Abigail  Her dress is from the stamp set You are Special.  The sandals are from the Live Love Grow stamp set.  I attached the sentiment to the limb with the sweet little bird on it.  The adorable birds are from the set Happy Summer.  And, the sentiment is from Summer Fun set.  The flowers are from the set Make Today Beautiful.  I also used a stamped flower for added interest underneath the sun.  The sun was made using a McGill punch.  And, the clouds were made using the Rainbows and Roses stamp set.  I used an MFT die for the grass and popped it up for dimension.  The final touch was adding yellow buttons to the flowers and sun.  Ok, friends that's all for now.  Please make a visit over to Paper Sweeties to see what the rest of the design team created!  Have fun with your projects, hugs!
