Now that the sale is over and the orders have been shipped out, I can try to get back to blogging. Thanks again to everyone who sent their well wishes and shopped.
The next card is from Sharon and puts the calendar stamp to good use. It is also a way to use one of the past calendar stamps you may have purchased. A card like this doesn't have to use the current year's calendar. Just something to think about.

I just found out that the Halloween Noteblock has made its way onto the cover of Stampers Sampler (Jun/July 2010) courtesy of the talented Barbara Smith. I have had the pleasure of knowing Barbara for quite a few years now. She has a style all her own. You have to check out her blog and see what I mean. Her work is wonderful. Congratulations Barbara!
This card from Jenn is simply scrumptious! I am in desperate need of finding new adjectives when posting all the projects. Scrumptious is a new one for me...lol. It is a goodie for today's post though.

Ok, where do I start? How about the coloring? The card design? The patterned papers? I love the little garden she created with the flower stamps. The polka dot semi circle with the Date Me Seasons ring reminds me of a sun rising up behind the garden. The colors on this are just so yummy!
Any babies in the horizon? Here is a sweet and simple card from Joy using the small Baby Boy block from the Baby Noteblock stamp. I always like how Joy randomly places a few pearls on her cards.

Thank you!
Sharon created this fun layout of her husband's recent birthday. I always enjoy the eye candy that Sharon creates each month. There are always so many little elements. It is like going on a treasure hunt. I especially like the cluster of stamping over the white paint. I feel like I see something new each time I look. The sweetest part is the tiny little floating hearts she created.

Does anyone else feel like the Summer is flying by quickly? It seems like every year we say it at the END of the Summer. This year I am saying it at the beginning!
Since Julie is from Australia their seasons are the opposite of ours. I now can finally post this layout she sent me a few months back...lol. She did a fun take on all the pennant banners that are so popular these days. She simply cut one of the stamped Harlequin images in half and got two flags.

You know how I always talk about my love for creating backgrounds by repeatedly stamping an image? Well here is a new favorite. Joy used the ever so popular butterflies and repeatedly stamped them over some lined paper. The one color stamping works so well with this card.

This next layout from Sharon has such a pretty softness to it. She repeatedly stamped several of the images to get all different shades of ink. It looks gorgeous on top of the patterned paper. The touches of pink add to the overall softness. I love the stamps she choose and the ribbon label with the "duckling" letter stickers fits perfectly!

Need a Summery birthday card? Here is a fun design by Courtney. I like how she kept it clean with simple images, basic colors and added a coordinating colored button to each of the elements.
