Paper Sweeties September 2016 Release Party!

Hi, Friends!

Welcome to Paper Sweeties Release Party!  All *new* products are available today in the shop!  The new stamp sets and dies that I used for my card are Thankful(large sunflowers),  Sweet Cuts-Thankful, Planner Series: Fall Sentiments(small sunflowers),  Thanks(sentiment) and  Sweet Cuts- Thanks(thanks die cut).   I colored the sunflowers with copics and added Wink of Stella to them for a bit of shine.  The ribbon(Frosting) and sequins(Gold) are from Paper Sweeties, also.  

There are several wonderful sentiments to the new stamp set Thanks, so I'd like to share how I stamped the inside of the card...



This card and the second card on my post yesterday was made for my friend, Kathy, to give to a couple of her friends.  I have to admit I love how this card turned out and it's my favorite card made for the September release!:-)

Please follow the list below to see what my teammies came up with...have fun!

Happy Birthday!


Hi, Friends!

Hope you had a wonderful Labor Day weekend!  We had a very busy one here with a wedding celebration on Saturday!  On Sunday, we saw the play...Wicked...so fun!

My mother-in-law's birthday is on Saturday, so I made her this card...


Many gorgeous flowers in the inspiration photo!  I was very inspired to get out some flower stamps and start stamping away!   Just a simple card, but the flowers do take center stage.  I'm entering this card over at City Crafter!


I'd like to share with you some photos of my nephew's wedding!  It was such a glorious day to have a wedding!  And, so pretty in Schedel Gardens.  Here are some photos....

Kristen and Matthew

Some of the wedding party with three darling
flower girls!

her husband, John.


We took a few photos of the garden before
the wedding.
