Kindness

I pulled out some of my Spellbinders ornate dies to try my new toy, the Spellbinders Tool 'N One...it works great! It is perfect for getting the paper out of the fancy dies, I also used it to punch out any paper pieces left in the shape. I have used the awesome Neat & Tangled stamp set called Kindness Matters...I luv this set, so inspiring! I also was inspired by the sketch from Hand Stamped Sentiments. Thanks for stopping by, hope your Friday is a great start to the weekend...woohoo....sparkle & shine!

Our Friendship Is Priceless

It is me again, I tell ya peeps if I could stay at home I would be bringing you something to look at everyday...lol.  Wanda and I had the best time shopping today, it seems everyone is selling out of the new MME papers.  The new designs are by far my favorite prints in a long time...they are gorgeous!  I have used the Hazel papers on this card, the papers are sooo sweet...swoon....I want to use them on every thing I make.  The stamps I used are another favorite, they are from JustRite...if you have not seen these new images, you got head over and see all of them...wow...the framed images are awesome!  They are compatible with the nesties...sweet!  I stamped the sentiemnt and then used Nesties Labels four to cut it out and then I sponged it with Pumice Stone distressing ink from Tim Holtz.  I added a few pearls and the crinkled ribbon; I added the red button to meet the color requirments and I dearly luv it...I think it makes the card.  Have a fabby weekend friends....enjoy!
