This Suite has been very popular since the January-April Catalog was released and this is the first chance I've had to get it out and play with it. The critters in the set are just the cutest. My favorite is the bunny dancing in the rain. The pattern paper is amazing in this set. It's hard to see here, but the raindrops are all embossed and shiny. It almost makes them look wet on the card. The Rain or Shine Suite was out of stock for … [Read more...] about Rain or Shine Suite

Hey There!
Oh my goodness, the Nuts About Squirrels stamp set has the cutest pair of squirrels in it. Today I'm using the squirrel on the tree branch. The stamp set does not have coordinating dies so I hand cut the squirrel for this card. The Beauty of The Earth pattern paper is pairs nicely with this stamp set. The Fall foliage is perfect for this little guy climbing on his branch. I can't wait to share the other little squirrel with you. He's … [Read more...] about Hey There!
