Beauty of Friendship Bundle

 I continue to organize my stamping stash and contemplate

product that will be retiring.  The Beauty of Friendship Suite,

on page 11, is one that I will miss a great deal.  It is an elegant

bundle for sympathy and caring cards.   

In this example, I used some of my retired papers, including

Pirouette Pink and Rose Romance.  I like 3x6 cards, and have

a healthy amount of 12x12 card stock.  This enables very

economical card production.  This tree die works extremely well 

with the 3x6 card format.

Dancing in the Rain

 This is a die cut that I've had in my stash for a long time.

I'm not even sure where I got it!  In cleaning out my DSP for

donation, I discovered this sheet, which looks a lot like rain!

I used a label maker to create the sentiment.  Things just seemed

to come together, so I guess if you wait long enough (years),

you find the perfect combination. 

Grassy Grove with Beautiful Trees

 This is a combination of retiring product, as well as the

Grassy Grove Bundle that will be in the new catalog.

The tree comes from Beautiful Trees dies, which are

so lovely! I used a blending brush to add color to the tree.  

It makes a great backdrop for the deer,

as the size/proportions are perfect. 

The sentiment comes from the retired Well Written Dies.
