Delight in Life

Just finished this card using the Delight in Life and the Happy Harmony Stamp Sets from the Stampin' Up Sellabration catalog. I fell in love with the patterned paper when I saw it at Hobby Lobby several months ago so I just had to buy it. I thought it seemed to go well with Stampin' Up's Bordering Blue cardstock and French Blue grosgrain ribbon. I also used Really Rust cardstock but it doesn't match as close as I would like it to but it will do. I believe the patterned paper is from the Wild Asparagus line of papers.

My Next Workshop

I've been working on cards for my next workshop. For once I'm a little ahead of the game as I'm usually making cards the night before a workshop. Since it's Sell-a-bration time I've made all of my cards using Sell-a-bration sets. The Very Punny set is one of my favorites as you can see. I love those Marvy scalloped punches. They are just too cool. Hope you enjoy the samples as much as I enjoyed making them.

** For the "So Very sweet" ladybug card I got my inspiration from a card by Lorie that she had posted on her blog "Live-Love-Laugh-Create" on 1/7/2007. You can find her blog at: http://live-love-laugh-create.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
