Another Loser

I think that this one was too simplistic.  But I like simplicity.  It just wasn't what the judges were going for :)  These are our friends the Kregels, who were kind enough to let me use their family photos for this.  These pictures were taken by Lindsey Patkos, a girl from church who was in my small group when she was in sixth grade.  I don't think she has a website, but she is on FB.  Just want to give her a plug...I don't think she'd be opposed to more photography customers!

July Club Project

I like the simplicity of this page...the pictures can be the focus without a ton of other embellishments. But I also love the flowers made from the Circle Circus set and the new In Color markers. A button from Button Latte gives the middle flower just a little something extra. And the crimped stems are so fun.

It's not really obvious from the picture, but this is a spinner card, made with two pennies and a Stampin' Dimentional. This set is perfect for a spinner card...my kids are mesmerized by it! The paper at the bottom is from the new Razzleberry Lemondade Designer Series Paper, which is also one of my new favorites!

New Stuff

My favorite new stamp set is Circle Circus. I've had my eye on this set ever since the Australian catalog came out and I spotted it in there. I held my breath hoping that not only would it make it into the US catalog, but also that it would be available as a pre-order for demonstrators. My wish came true, and this set was the first thing I ordered....along with all the new In Colors! This is the first time I've ever liked them all, and I've been having fun playing with them. So, here are a couple of samples featuring all the new colors plus my new favorite stamps:
