Answering Bonnie B.'s Question!

Good morning, everyone! I hope you're having a wonderful day so far - and that it will continue to be even better. :D

Bonnie B. had a question on this post:
This is really pretty. My daughter is getting married in June, so I am on the lookout for good ideas.
What did you put in the inside, just out of curiosity?
Thanks and God bless,
Bonnie S

Well, Bonnie, here is the inside! :) I really was tickled with the result of this card; there are quite a few steps, but we did it with a bunch of brand-new stampers, and walked it out together. :)

That's the Manhattan Flower Texturz embossing folder, and the "forever" is also from FABULOUS PHRASES. (I also like it because there's little room to write, if you don't have anything to say. LOL!!!)

OK, I'm outta here! Tomorrow's week THREE of the 10 Weeks of Christmas emails, so I have to get GOING. :D Have a wonderful day - and be SURE to take the time to STAMP SOMETHING - I am!!!!

Sneak Peek from the Summer Mini!

Well, ONE stamp, anyway.... :D

My mom absolutely loves this color - Barely Banana. It's one of the colors that's going away with the new Idea Book, so I'm using it while it's still here! :)

Card stock: Whisper White, Barely Banana, Pumpkin Pie

Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Stazon Jet Black; Pumpkin Pie, Cameo Coral, and Summer Sun Stampin' Write Markers

SO super easy - you just color and layer up! - and beautiful! :)

Do you remember the glittered card I posted - CLICK HERE to see the big picture of it - ?!? Everyone is just OOHING and AAAHING over it (although I do know someone who wouldn't want it in her house....:D) There is NOTHING simpler than using this die, and putting Crystal Effects into the depressions, and adding a little Dazzling Diamonds glitter. It's a knock-out!!!
