Hi there! Sorry for the delay tonight, but Typepad was giving me fits for a bit there. All better now though, it seems. :)
Did you all notice my new Twitter updates over in the side bar on the right? Fun, huh? Now I can post little bits here and there so you'll know I'm doing 'At The Moment'!
Ok, let's talk Papertrey! I have to tell you that I LOVE this First Fruits set that Nichole designed based on concept ideas by Becky Oehlers! SUCH an elegant set....very 'Martha', if you know what I mean! I love that background design that can be created with one of the stamps in the set, and I love, LOVE that acorn! It comes in two separate stamps so you can do different colors easily on the top part and the bottom part and I think it's just extra cute if you cut out those pieces separately and assemble them with foam dimensionals! This set is just perfect for elegant thank you notes, etc. and doesn't just have to be used for Thanksgiving themed projects. I think I'll be reaching for it over and over again.
This set is called Rustic Branches and was designed by my friend Heather Nichols. Heather and I got to spend a lot of time together at CHA last month and I'm so glad we did. She's such a dear! Papertrey is also carrying that green leaf ribbon to coordinate with Heather's set! And see how I used one of Heather's wreath stamps to create a pattern in the background? Very fun and easy too!
This is Lisa Johnson's latest set, called Remember. Lisa is the poppy queen so it's only fitting that she have a poppy set, right? :) I loved pairing Papertrey's new pure poppy color with SU's tangerine tango for that traditional poppy color combo! Oh, and I love the pairs of {brackets} in this set!
You've already seen my project using the new Spooky Sweets II set. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for more fun goodies using these fabby new sets from Papertrey!
Hope you all have a great night! Currently watching Michael Phelps and his teammates receiving what is his EIGHTH GOLD MEDAL! WOW!! Did I not tell you at the start of the Olympics that this is history in the making?!! I'm totally teary watching this ceremony! Just amazing!
Night All!
