Sneaky Peeks start here and NOW!

I have had our NEW Seasonal Expressions in my hands for about 2 weeks now. As a Consultant we get a month preview of each new book, before it goes live for customers to purchase from. So I am showing you a new stamp set that will be available Sep 1. It was the one that stood out most, when I saw the book.
This set is called, Created to Create! Yes, I agree and can't love an image more! I paired it with some flowers cut from Flower Market, our 2016 Cricut cartridge. Simple! You can see and purchase it in my shop Sep 1! I have linked the stamp image, but you will have to come back for it to work!

All supplies are Close To My Heart.
Stamp: Created to Create
Ink: Black
Cardstock: Lagoon; Pacifica; Pansy; Eggplant; White Daisy

Peek A Boo!

I feel like that is what my posting to my blog is like.....playing peek-a-boo! I am posting everything on my Instagram profile because it is easy! I snap a pic with my phone; edit it if need be....on my phone; run it through a watermark app; then post it to Instagram; then share it with Facebook. What could be easier.....nothing...which is why I am behind on my blog! Blah...blah....blah.....
 Here are two cards I made with WYW Anniversary Cardmaking Kit that is available only until Aug 31! The gorgeous woodgrain paper is from, No Worries, which is also set to retire at the end of this month.

Zip Strips RULE

Oh yes, Zip Strips do RULE. (well, most of the time!) These babies are from the still available, No Worries, paper pack. They sang beach and I love to sing "Beach", too! I cut some shell shapes with my dies then stamped and embossed in Gold, with coordinating retired stamp set. I used our Watercolour paints to colour the shells. The sentiment is from a retired shell set, but it is another keeper.

Hollyhocks history

That is my history of Hollyhocks, that is! Growing up my Mom grew Pink Hollyhocks along the side of our house, on the neighbour's driveway side, rather than our driveway side. They were beautiful and I loved to see them....but I also hated them! I hated all of the bees and wasps they attracted, cause that could mean those bugs might like me. I was having enough attraction from all of the mosquitoes in Saskatoon, so I felt this bug attraction was too much! Give me paper Hollyhocks all day and year long......so pretty!
 These gorgeous Hollyhocks were cut with the amazing Flower Market Cricut cartridge. I used Canary; Hollyhock and Pixie cardstock for the flowers and Fern for the stem. The patterned paper is from retired Charlotte. The stamp is older than dirt....but still lovely! I've also gone off of the rails with my Black Journaling pen. I just cannot get enough of drawing lines around things!
