Sure Do Love You

“Sure Do Love You” Fun Frame

I’ve been creating the inserts for my Fun Frame classes since last fall and have to say I think this one is my FAVORITE.  I might just have to leave it up all year long.

I absolutely LOVE the color combo and the Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper is GORGEOUS.  The photo doesn’t do it justice.  The gold foil is just stunning.

These 9″ x 9″ framed samplers seem to be all the rage right now and I can see why.  They go together pretty quickly and it’s wonderful to be able to switch them out each month for a new theme.  All of the products listed below can be found at my Online Store.  Just CLICK HERE to head over there.

 The 9″ x 9″ frame is from Ikea and is called “Ribba”.  They come in white, black and woodgrain.

Come on and share the love!  You’ll be glad you did.

Stampin’ Hugs,
Michelle

Sending Thoughts

Sending Thoughts….

The Sending Thoughts stamp set (in my humble opinion) is one that gets overlooked quite often in the Occasions Catalog (page 44).  It has some of the sweetest sentiments and it so versatile and (again…in my humble opinion) is definitely a keeper.  I love it even more paired with the beautiful Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper.  Oh!  And those sweet dragonflies!  Ugh….gorgeous!

Here’s a look at all of the sentiments in the stamp set.


It comes in both wood and clear mount too.  SCORE!

Here are the details for this card…
