I've been playing with some of the new Christmas designer papers and fabulous new stamp sets. The Candy Cane Lane designer paper is my favorite right now. I just love the color combination. The stamp set is Candy Cane Christmas. There are three different greetings and a bunch of fun little winter/holiday stamps.

Scarecrow Fun
One of my favorite items in the Holiday Catalog is the Cookie Cutter stamps and punch. There are two stamp sets — Christmas and Halloween.
Today I am showing you one of the stamps in the
Cookie Cutter – Halloween set.
The scarecrow works for Halloween or just a lovely fall card.
The best part of these stamp sets — there's a punch for them too.

Paisleys & Poisies
Are you a Paisley fan?
When I was growing up my sister and I both had Paisley Pedal Pushers.
Who remembers pedal pushers — now we call them capris.
As I grew up I hated paisley prints but I have grown to love that swirly look.
