sequins, and enamel gems.
What do you do with inchies? Add them to a card, a tag, a box, or a bag.

leftovers from other projects on your tag.

It's All New This Month

September Bring New Goodies
3 New Stamp Sets for National Stamping Month
An Exceptional Stamp of the Month
New Water Coloring Art Supplies
So....don't miss a thing by visiting my blog each day to view
some samples of all the new goodies.
For my first sample of the new goodies I present the
September Stamp of the Month using a water coloring technique.
Stamp the flowers and leaves with your choice of ink. I used
the new colors Pomegranate and Fern. Spritz the inked image with the 
spray pen filled with alcohol. (Alcohol dries fast and does not
over saturate your White Daisy CS). Stamp your image on White
Daisy CS or our new water color paper.

More Water Coloring Practice

With Ink Pads and Water Brush
Using the colors Goldrush and Hollyhock from last week's
I water colored some more Cricut cut flowers. I just used my
 ink pads and my water brush. Simply use the ink on the lid 
of the ink pad with the water brush and color your flowers. 
I sponged the tips of the flower before I colored them.
This happy card is made using the sketch from the
Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. This sketch is very
fun to work with and easy to follow. Give it a try.
My new water color brushes came today so I will
be practicing my water coloring with the new colors at 
Color My Heart so stay  tuned.

Practicing My Watercoloring

 And Spreading the Sunshine
Before my new watercolors get here I've been wanting to practice my water coloring.
I used colors at this week's Color My Heart challenge for my water coloring practice.
When I first became a Close to my Heart consultant water coloring was very
popular and now it's back. Only, I think it will be more fun this time around.
The Good Day Sunshine Challenge at Heart 2 Heart inspired this card.
I made the water colored background with my Goldrush and Holly hock
ink pads and the water brush.(My new watercolors and brushes aren't here yet).
I cut the daisies on the Cricut and water colored them with the ink pads and water brush. 
If you have a "sunshine" inspired idea share with us at Heart 2 Heart and
grab your Goldrush and Hollyhock and share a creations at Color My Heart.

May is National Scrapbook Month

And Time to Celebrate with the New
Taste of Summer paper pack
When I scrapbook I usually choose my photos, then choose my papers
and cardstock, then my layout design. However for this new Taste
of Summer paper pack I have a fun new suggestion.  Grab your kids,
some popsicles, and your camera and head out to the park. Take some
great pictures and come back and add them to this layout.
Left page has places for that up close photo of your cute
little one enjoying that sweet taste of a popsicle.
Right page has a spot for a 5 X 7 group photo and some
more spots for some up close popsicle lickin' fun.
Be sure to visit all this week for some more fun with the 
Taste of Summer paper pack and stamp set.
