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.
The Holiday Catalog has an awesome stamp set Paisleys & Posies that bring back those fond memories.

Here’s a quick card to tell someone how important they are to you.

Haunted House

Haunted Houses and Wicked Trees.
I am having a blast working with the new Halloween stamp sets in the
2016 Holiday Catalog.  This was a card I saw at a demonstrator event a couple weeks ago.
Wicked Tree
It definitely falls into my love of Black, Gray and Orange.
We have a couple of fun stamp sets here.
Halloween Scares
Spooky Fun and the coordinating Halloween Scenes Edgelits
The edges show a bit of the Halloween Nights designer paper.
There are even a few Halloween Night Enamel Dots added.

Thankful, Grateful, Blessed

I was camping over the weekend with family and we saw one tree that had completely turned colors already.  It was the most beautiful shade of red.  It is hard to believe that summer has come to an end.  Everyone is back in school now and fall is poking it's head in just a bit.
I have started playing with my fall stamp set.
The new Paisleys & Posies has been fun to play with.
Lots of different color combinations to create.
On this card we used Rich Razzleberry and Mint Macaron.

Thankful Paisleys
Isn't the Petals & Paisleys designer paper in the background pretty.
We even used a piece of the Rich Razzleberry ribbon that is in the
3/8" Ribbon Trio Pack — you also get Mint Macaron and Delight Dijon.

The words are my focus on the card with a few circle flowers scattered around.
