Witty-Cisms with Peaceful Poppies DSP

I think that the Witty-Cisms set on page 37 of the Jan-June
2020 catalog is an wonderful set.  I love witty, cheeky
comments, as do many of my family members.  My Mom
doesn't want sappy, sentimental cards (well, unless they are
for someone who has serious illness or has passed).  She
prefers sarcastic sentiments for birthdays and such.
I always enjoy the very rude cards that she sends
for my birthday, often 2-3 because they were "funny."

I layered the focal images on a piece of Peaceful Poppies (p 25)
DSP.  This Designer Series Paper is spectacular, in that
you have options for lovely flowers, of patterned colors.
This kind of pairing is perfect for this set,
which will be RETIRING in June.

Best Catch with Catch of the Day Dies

This is a product bundle that I am really sad to see
retiring, especially since my brother has purchased some
lakeside property.  Our family also loved fishing when we
were growing up.  Wisconsin had so much to offer in terms of 
good fishing lakes.   We caught an abundance of sun fish,
bass, walleye, pike, musky and even a sturgeon.
 I have great appreciation for 
Best Catch (page 150) with the 
Catch of the Day dies (page 191)!

Tasteful Backgrounds with Butterfly Gala

Here's another Tasteful Backgrounds Dies (page 196) card.  It 
took me a bit to get into the groove of using these dies, but
I really like the unique looks that you can create.  I used some
of the Peaceful Poppy DSP for the background layer, and added
 Peacock foil flower centers.  The sentiment comes from
the Butterfly Gala set.
