It's here! It's here!

**Happy Birthday to me!** Look what arrived in the mail yesterday!! My FIRST EVER order from Papertrey! This was my birthday present to myself (my birthday was on the 12th). I've been hearing nothing but good things about PTI cardstock with Copics, so I thought I'd give it a go. I also picked up some kraft paper (which is a lot like my A Muse kraft, just a smidge darker), Button Bits stamp set (been drooling over this one for awhile), Lily of the Valley stamp set, spools of Hawaiian Shores, Chartuese, Berry Sorbet, Black, and Ocean Tide, then the matching buttons in Hawaiian Shores, Chartuese, and Berry Sorbet.

Yippee!! I'll be stamping and printing digis on my new cardstock before I leave for a bridal shower here in a bit. Can't wait to try it!

I already used the Button Bits stamp set, and here's what I made using the C&S FTL #107. This is one of my fav FTLs that I will for sure be using again and again.

Bye bye cute dot Eva dp, you've been fun. :( I also found some more scraps of CTMH Daydream dp that I thought I used up. Grr! I think this is finally the last of it. I used some on a card I'll share later too.

Aren't these cute and simple?! LOVE this stamp set, and the quality is just as good as my CTMH sets. *Don't tell them I said that ;)

(Sorry for the late post. Who knew that fire alarm tests effects my cable and internet connection?)

Clean & Simple FTL#76

This is my first shot at a Clean & Simple sketch.....and I like it! I wanted to use some more stamps from my Unity Jan. KOTM. Aren't these puzzle pieces fun?! Went with a simple color scheme too. Same dp as yesterday's card was used here to stamp out my pieces, then just some kraft paper and ribbon and I was done in a jiff!

Love the sentiment, but don't like the writing I ended up using. Oh well.
