You bring me sunshine

I'm playing along with the Waltzingmouse Stamps July Blog Party ! This month's theme is the great outdoors, and I used My Island. So fun!



The background was impressed with PTI's Sunrise Impression Plate. I clear embossed with sentiment.

Thanks for coming by!

Have you heard about the new blog hop? My friend Suzanne has organized a new, monthly blog hop to share cards using Wplus9 products! Check it out here !

Here's this month's inspiration photo...pretty!



I loved the bright colors and used those as well as the flowers to inspire my background stamping. I used the sets Folk Art Floral and Fresh Picked.



This card got an addition of a flower (made with Beautiful Bloom Dies from PTI).




And a strip of cardstock and ribbon was added to this one.

Thanks for taking a look!

Happy Christmas Day

I'm hosting this week's Card Caravan Challenge at The Hybrid Chick , and the challenge is Christmas in July!



With our theme in mind, I made this easily-mailable card, using these beautiful digital papers from Wishing Well Creations, Holly Jolly Mini Kit. I die cut the the holly leaves and berries out of felt using the PTI dies. The label and sentiment were stamped using the set and die from Happy Days.

Thanks for taking a look!

Happy Birthday

Another Happy Hexagon card--this time with a very feminine color combo.



This sentiment is from Movers and Shakers: Sentiments. The ribbon is Hibiscus Burst satin.

Have a wonderful weekend!
Melissa

You color my world

Hope you had a great 4th of July if you're in the US!

I'm still playing around with Happy Hexagons and wanted to try a "rainbow" styled card.



The sentiment is from Happy Trails.

Have a great night!
Melissa

Every single day...

Happy Monday!

Did you survive the weekend? We had a crazy storm hit on Friday night which knocked out power for millions of people in our area. We spent the weekend searching out open movie theatres, pools, and restaurants....but couldn't find much open! Luckily our power came back on Saturday night. I really feel for those still without power, it's hot!

I had a chance to play around with my hexagon set "Happy Hexagons".



The sentiment comes from Movers and Shakers Sentiments, and the ink colors used are Hawaiian Shores, Aqua Mist, Ocean Tides, Fine Linen, Kraft and Rich Cocoa (Memento).

Have a good day!
