*such exciting news*

My best friend Jess got engaged earlier this month, and I'm tickled beyond words for her! So of course, I had to make her a card. I've had this dress stamp for ages, and it was the perfect opportunity to pull it off the shelf and use it. Can you believe that in my huge collection of stamps I couldn't seem to find the right sentiment? Really great handwriting would come in handy about now. Oh well.

Thanks for stopping by!

*words to live by*

"You are what you eat, so eat something sweet!" Now that's my kind of thinkin'! I couldn't wait to pair up this sentiment with Mandy and her nine scoops of ice cream. She obviously thinks like me! Except her waist is a whole lot smaller than mine!

I'm thrilled to introduce you to Mandy's World, a sweet new collection of the cutest little girl images ever! Hawaiian girl is just one of seven little girls in this new release, and I simply adore her! The release also includes eight fun new sentiments... and you're gonna want 'em all!

Here's a quick card I whipped up today using one of Basic Grey's new limited edition mini clear stamp sets. This tea set is my favorite! It's so sweet and vintage-y... plus there's a polka dotted tea cup in the set! I had a list of 6 cards I needed to make, 4 thank you's, a thinking of you, and a card for an old friend. I used this versatile little set for each one of them. I used a number of color combinations, but this one's my favorite. Plus I love this sentiment by A Muse!

*on a roll!...*

Sometimes I crack me up! Anyhoo... I'm back with another toilet paper tube mini album. I hope you're not getting tired of seeing these. I'm completely hooked on these and keep coming up with excuses to make more! I made this one for a friend who loves teapots. I've been hoarding these beautiful papers by Webster's Pages for a while now, and I'm absolutely tickled at how perfect they were for this little album!

These are the inserts that slide into the toilet paper tubes.

This is page 2, and page 3 is below.

Have you ever tried Fresh Ink? You can buy it online here. It's one of my favorite inks to use with clear stamps, and it comes in some of the most beautiful colors! I used *fig* for the three solid colored teapots, and I just love it! You've really got to try one of these! But I'm warning ya... they're addictive! ;)

*friends like you...*

I picked up a few retired Stampin' Up sets recently, and this set is one of them. I love these sweet little mice, and I love the sentiment! I'm still on my orange and pink kick, which you probably noticed if you read my last post, and I have a feeling you'll be seeing a lot of this yummy combination!
