Serenity.

It's a sad truth that at some point or another we will find ourselves in the position of wanting to offer comfort to someone experiencing a rough patch, or even a painful goodbye. 

Today I am sharing with you a look at another new stamp set being released tomorrow (Feb. 1) by Clear Dollar Stamps.  This set is called "Words of Sympathy" and I have to say, not only is it elegant but the sentiments included in this set truly are beautiful.  I think many of us become "stampers" because we want to share something beautiful and happy with people we love, but I also think showing we care during the difficult moments is just as important, and this set makes it that much easier.

I think the color scheme is very appropriate for a number of occasions, but for this particular set I thought it gave it a very soothing, elegant look.

Here is another card I made using the same set, with another "natural" look to it:

I actually love these colors together as well, and my pearls have just been put to use quite a bit lately!

I hope you have gotten a chance to look at the beautiful creations of the talented DT.  If you haven't, please visit them (they're linked on my sidebar!), and I hope you are enjoying a wonderful and peaceful weekend with your loved ones!

Thanks for stopping by!

Straight from the farm!

cock-a-doodle-doo!!! (sorry couldn't resist!!)

Happy Friday!! I'm so excited to show you another Clear Dollar Stamps' sneak peek!!  This one is called Critter Barn and it is just SO stinkin' fun!!

When I first got this set, I thought it would be perfect for making little treat baskets, (filled with chocolate Cadbury eggs?? YUM) or even as place settings for Easter brunch with a cute little decorated egg!! I think this is a great project you can even do with your kids, (which is always a big plus), and your table will look just gaw-jus!

Isn't that fun?  very messy too - my personal favorite!  I used a ton of distress inks to make the sides and back of the basket look like old wood (silly me, I will add another picture later on so you can see what I'm yapping about), and I made a matching "label" and band for the egg!  The little sentiment by the way is also included in the set - so adorable right??!

I hope this gives you some fun ideas for your next family gathering or even kids' parties! This is truly a  fun set with endless possibilities!

Thanks for visiting, I have tons more to show you so check back soon!

Hugs,

Just Believe...

(This is like my 10th post today (just kiddin')  but be sure to scroll down so you don't miss a thing - I just had lots to share!!)

I can't tell you how much I was itching to finally be able to post this one!  This is another peek at one of the sets being released by Clear Dollar Stamps' on February 1, and I have to say it is one of my absolute favorites!!

This set is called Sweet Jesus and it is made up of the cutest bunch of stamps geared towards "candy" (who doesn't love chocolate right??) but I decided to use my set to make up this scrapbook page of my  "Sweet" little monkey!

How super fun is this?? I used lots of circle punches and a ton of stampin' dimensionals to "pop" all the elements, and I absolutely LOVED the way this turned out, especially since I got the idea to do this page as soon as I saw the set!  (don't you just love it when stuff just works!!??)

Be sure to check out all the sneak peeks from the CDS Design Team (listed on my sidebar) and I thank you so much for stopping by, it really means a lot to me!!

Happy Thursday!

Yay!! It's my turn to share this cute little guy, who happens to be none other than Clear Dollar Stamps' "Stamp of the Month" for February!! and I got to play with him - how lucky can one get!!

I decided I would make my own little money holder - those are just always good to have on hand, aren't they? I made my money holder by cutting a my CS at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and then scored it at 3", 3", and 2 1/2".  I added sticky strip to both sides in the middle panel to make my "pocket"!, and that was it! super easy and so cute too (all modesty aside of course!!) !

I hope you like him too!!  and just what is the Stamp of the Month, you ask?? well that's easy!  He is an exclusive stamp set which is only available for the month during which it is released (this little guy can be yours in February ONLY) and he is FREE with a $50.00 purchase at the CDS store! How easy is that??!

Just wait until you see the other stamps that come in this set!! You're going to love it!!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more sneak peeks!!
