Neat & Tangled July Release Ink Splash


I'm back with another Neat & Tangled project!  Today we're featuring Ink Splash!  I love this set.  LOVE LOVE LOVE this set!   This is a stamp set I can see myself pulling out time and time again!  
I combined the Ink Splash set with Everyday Circles and the 'you rock' sentiment is from Sparkle and Shine.    

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Neat and Tangled July Guest Designer

I cannot tell you how excited I am to be the Guest Designer for Neat & Tangled this month.  I love how their images are fresh and right on trend, yet do it all with their own style.  I'm a sucker for handwritten sentiments (or really just sentiments in general!) and I feel like Danielle consistently delivers the most gorgeous sentiments.

All that being said, it didn't surprise me at all that I squealed when I opened the July release package!  Which brings me to today's card.


How fun are these circles?  Eek, I love them!  For this card, I used Everyday Circles and the heart from Just Thinking of You to create a little bokeh effect.  The border stripe is from On the Strip.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

My first Fresh Squeezed Stamps DT post

Well hello! Welcome if this is your first time here.  Today is my first post as a member of the Fresh Squeezed Stamps design team.  I'm so excited to be part of this team, and maybe a little nervous because July is a busy month for me.  More to come on that... 

Anyhow, here's my card: 
I used Background Check for the pattern on the kraft and tag and the speech bubble sentiment is from On Trend 2013.  The hearts (oh my gosh, I'm obsessed!) are from Freckled Fawn.  The twine is from The Twinery.

That's it for me today, as I'm headed to a wedding today!  My niece is getting married!  Eeek!  So happy for her!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!
