Spellbinders dies

I like this challenge blog… so many things we post and then never have time to look back. I’ve had a million things to do and I should stay on task and catch up with commenting instead but hopefully tomorrow! lol

The theme is Summer Colors…. Flashback Friday is HERE… and I’m posting my card from this post in June of ’09, HERE. AND, if you’re a Magnolia stamp lover like me, here’s an Edwin card from June ’09, that’s perfect for this time of year too, HERE.

and a little variation…

See what you can find and link up to Flashback Friday!

Here’s a Father’s Day card from this year!

The stamps are from the Flourishes set called, “What a Catch”, HERE. The pattern paper is from the MME 6×6 paper pad called Mable, HERE.

Then I wanted to tell you the NEW Preview is up on the All That Scraps blog for a new Summer Itzie Inkies digi release, HERE. Super creative and fun inspiration from the CC Designs digi team! Link up for a chance to win the whole release! The digis will be available to purchase tomorrow at noon EST. More inspiration coming on the ATS blog tomorrow…

Thanks for stopping by! talk to you soon!

Our granddaughter Anya turned six yesterday and the family birthday party is tomorrow , we have three birthdays this month…so two more cards coming soon!

This cutie stamp’s name is “looking at you” from Stampavie! So cute and so like Anya IRL!

The next picture shows my clever little trick to make the easel card stopper! I LOVE it!

Do you see it? I used two circle punches and a Quickutz flower die and an Amy R’s birthday sentiment, “birthday girl”. I scored the pink circle, folded it and stuck part under the layers on the bottom of the card. The green circle I cut off so it wouldn’t be too thick under the layers… cool… I’m sure I’ll be doing this again. It’s just like a card “stop sign”! lol

Here’s a close up of “looking at you”…
