Blooming with Kindness
My first time playing in the ColourQ challenge which called for the Stampin' Up colors of Raspberry Ripple, Primrose Petals, Early Espresso, and Very Vanilla. I used my new (to me) set of Blooming with Kindness stamped in Espresso and colored in markers. The Vanilla panel was first wheeled with the Very Vintage jumbo wheel in Crumb Cake. Butterfly Wings sizzlits dies in More Amore paper and some Raspberry cardstock to embellish.

Love
I was determined to use one of the new bottlecap embellishments from the SU mini catalog on a card today :) I had to have them and then found myself stumped on just how to go about using them. This is the large one and I added a button from the Artisan Embellishments kit with an added pearl in the center. Ribbon is also from the kit, card base is Baja Breeze, matted with Primrose Petals, image panel is Very Vanilla. Stamp sets used: You Are Loved and Affection Collection. More Amore designer paper and layout is this week's Mojo Monday sketch.

Bookmarks
I usually have several books going at once, stashed all over the house and in the car as well. I thought they deserved a better place holder than the scrap of paper or grocery store receipt. LOVE bookmarks and I just don't know where they all disappear to, they're like socks that way.
I used all Stampin' Up supplies for these, Basic Black and Whisper White with the Pleasant Poppies colored in markers. I clear embossed the retired By Definition background stamp all over both of them, I love the printing on that one. One got a bit extra with the narrow black taffeta ribbon. Sentiment is from Fabulous Florets. Read on!
All Dressed Up
What a sweet set this All Dressed Up set is! It comes with matching framelits dies so the possibilities are endless. I used just the sentiment from the set and the dies for the dress and form. Retired Presto Patterns designer paper (a clear embossed white on white design), buckle from the old Pretties embellishments kit filled with Dazzling Diamonds glitter, white grosgrain ribbon, and Tulips embossing folder. Cardstocks: Crumb Cake and Whisper White.

Pleasant Poppies
Another new stamp for me is the Pleasant Poppies. Love this one and I think it will get a lot of use. I colored it in markers, used Tea For Two and More Amore designer papers with Pink Piroutte cardstock, Needlepoint Border embossing folder, sketch STB#3 from SeizetheBirthday.blogspot.ca Sentiment is from You Are Loved.
Hello, Foxy
This is an individual stamp currently available through Stampin' Up. It is fairly large and I had a hard time with a layout to fit it properly, I am going to cut off the sentiment and make two stamps out of it which will make it easier for me. Base is Peach Parfait embossed with Swiss Dots folder, Pick Your Poison designer paper (just picked this up in the Clearance Rack section). It's the only thing I could find to match the peach color for my banners. Early Espresso baker's twine also used.
