Lovely as a tree--Fall

The top card was water colored using a misting technique. Color directly on the stamp using markers then spray or mist water onto the stamp and then stamp onto watercolor paper. It's amazing how all the colors blend. Any water color technique makes me feel like a real artist!
I love to make my own pattern paper, sometimes it's so pretty I don't want to cover it up. So on this card I let the paper be the focal point. You could easily add a sentiment on this if you'd like.

Build a Bear Dies--wow so much fun!


There are so many wonderful things in the Holiday mini that I haven't been able to play with all of them yet. I've finally had a chance to play with the Build-a-bear dies. If you loved paper dolls as a child you will love these! So quick and simple to make. I didn't add any background or additional accessories to these cards and I still think these are as cute as can be. I know my kids will love making their own thank you cards or birthday cards with these! I used white confetti cardstock as the card base.
Here's a fun idea: Cut and score several pieces of confetti white cardstock, add envelopes cut bears in different colors, then cut lots of clothes using your scraps. Give that has a gift to your child to make their own cards!

Emma as the American Girl Elizabeth


Remember a couple weeks ago when my daughter Emma taught her own stamping class. She did it to raise money for the Junior League of Indianapolis so she could model in the American Girl Fashion show. Well she raised almost $200!
The fashion show was last weekend and Emma looked great dressed as Elizabeth.

Sweet Treats


Here is another card I made Sunday this was also designed by Annette. I love this because it shows that you don't have to use a circle to make the balloon. You don't have to use this set with the sweet treat cups. I'm going to admit that I didn't "love" this stamp set when I first saw it in the mini catalog, but the more I play with it and the more I see how versatile it is the more I'm learning to love it!
