So, let’s chat quickly about our new Seasonal Expressions! Totally FANTASTICO! When you place an order on MY WEBSITE HERE, you’ll receive a FREE ISSUE with your purchase.

Many items are flying out the door! So let’s get right to it on those that are nearly sold out already due to their cuteness! If you LOVE coordinating stamp sets & thin cuts, these are going fast! Remember, you can buy the stamp set on its own without a thin cut … so that is always an option as a purchase:

So glad many of you took advantage of the Stitched Flower Thin Cuts. They are now on back order, along with this pretty Lace Border Thin cut (I will be using this in June’s Kit of the Month: True Love).

If you have to have the LACE BORDER thin cut right now, you can acquire it in the True Love DELUXE workshop kit (10% savings):

ZOE … Bring Back Your Pack is going soon!

When it comes to cheerful and bright, ZOE is definitely a paper pack that can bring you joy! I don’t know where you live, but we have been swamped with rain and clouds for weeks on end! So working with this color palette and paper collection has been DELIGHTFUL! Here’s CC41910 ZOE, the KIT of the MONTH (save 25% on this workshop kit) and product I am talking about, plus I love our new Z4064 Stitched Flower Thin Cuts.

Springtime, Mother’s Day and MORE … ZOE is a keeper!

I saw this one single layout idea from Close To My Heart and loved it! I decided to play around with the sketch and create a two page layout along with the ‘polaroid’ photo well. The canary yellow just brightens your day and the strips of paper with white daisy and mint bases, really make it eye catching! I think you’ll agree this can be a great layout to showcase a smile, relative, new baby, trip to the park or some fun photos of Mom for Mother’s Day.

Then it was on to the Stitched Flowers Thin Cuts … which I LOVE! Even though I used the Heather Cardstock that came in the kit as bases, white daisy would be a great substitution (especially if you need the heather for the bonus Best Dad layout below). Smoothie, Canary and Sweet Leaf cardstock (which all come in the $32.95 kit) were the perfect colors to make the flowers. Plus with our cardstock being two toned (darker side is the color; back side is lighter version), it gives you more ‘flavors of choice’ for the flowers. 🙂

Lastly, TODAY is a great day … captures many of the patterns with smoothie photo wells. The palette offers a cheerful and bright start to these past few weeks of gloominess and rain. It was a pleasure! PS: If you don’t like the “TODAY” title, create your own … this is a great layout to showcase your own personal title to enjoy!

Well, I thought I was done and ready to move on … but NO! I had this great idea using some scraps and adding a few colors. I used Heather as the base, added scraps of smoothie and houndstooth pattern paper from Zoe. From my stash, I gathered up Espresso (brown) and Glacier (blue). Using my Zoe Stamps, I created the two toned BEST DAD (inks: heather & espresso), stamped the arrow border (along the bottom) and the hearts in smoothie. Used up some stickers from ZOE and created a very nice masculine page for Father’s Day, or Best Dad! I hope you like it! BTW, the two circle ‘rivets’ at the bottom are using the Stitched Flower Thin Cuts small circle. Just another use for these cuts!
