From the Archives

New ideas from the Spring/Summer Idea Book feature some favorite stamp 

designs from years past.This individual stamp was one of my first stamps 

15 years way back. In those days I didn't know about paper piecing, 

so today it was fun to just use the frame only on this card. 

Card colors, Hollyhock & Indian Corn Blue, are inspired by the 

Color My Heart challenge this week.

Card design is inspired by this sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch.

Come join us this week at Color My Heart and/or CAS(E)thisSketch.

Balloon Ride

My first paper pack sneak peak is Balloon Ride featuring

a "Just a note" post it note cover.

As soon as I saw the cute little post it holder made by Vicki Wizniuk 

I had to make one.But....oh which paper pack to use? 

Then there on the table was a scrap with a part of a balloon

 that just fit in the space and had a spot for "just a note" on the balloon.

You can see Vicki's creations here and follow her instructions 

to make a 3 X 3 post it note cover. I made the smaller post it note cover 

using the instructions by Susan Itell.

B&T Duos: Balloon Ride
Cardstock: Sky
Stamps: A Friend Like You
