Right now, I am obsessed with the color scheme of brown and cream...maybe it's my longing for fall, and I'm not very fond of the "traditional" fall colors, orange and rust. I have always loved this photo...I love the brown and cream transferware, the large check fabric, the rustic textures......
Hello friends! I'm still working my way through some fun Christmas collections. Next up is Bella Blvd's Fa La La collection. Since they didn't make a 6x6 paper pad for this collection, I purchased the 12x12 sheets instead. The patterns are still small enough to work for cards. I also bought the coordinating ephemera pack.
Hi everyone! Welcome to Catherine's Ink Party Collection: Spring Fling release blog hop! You should have arrived here from Lisa's blog. If not head on over to Catherine's blog to start at the beginning. Catherine is releasing 8 new, beautiful ink colors along with other stamps and dies. The new ink colors are an extension of the Party Collection - they are all pastels and will be sold together as a bundle, as well as individually. Along with the inks, she has the following new items available: two sets of circle dies 3 sentiment dies (these will be available for purchase as individual dies as well as the set) a sentiment stamp set a floral stamp set and a background stamp!!! You can purchase these inks HERE starting today. PSSST, I have a code for you to use to get 10% off your first order at Catherine's store. CLICK HERE!!! WOOT!!! My first card today uses the new Circle dies, one of the Spot On Sentiment dies and the tiny flower and leave stamp from the Simply Stated stamp set. The ink colors I used are Bellini, It's a Boy, Mint to Be and Midnight. The sentiment "happy birthday" is from the previously released Spot On stamp set. A close up so you can see the embossed circles. This card features the Dotted Circle dies and Simply Stated stamp set. I used all the new ink colors on this card. I love the line of dots stamp that comes in this set as well as this congratulations stamp. I was on an "embossing with dies" kick when creating with these new goodies. ***PRIZES*** Catherine will randomly choose 3 winners from all the blog hop comments to win a set of ink (or a gift certificate of equivalent value if you have already purchased the inks). Leave a comment by Monday, April 24th at noon (EST) on ALL THE HOPPERS blog posts for your chance to win. Time to hop along to the next blog which is the awesome Laurel Beard!

As much as I've been enjoying all the lovely pink and floral paper collections, I decided it was time to use a masculine 6x6 paper pad. It was challenging finding one that wasn't kiddish and would still work well for the cards I need. I found the Hey Mister collection from My Mind's Eye and
