fruitful and fruitful sentiments are here!

Here it is, the set I have been waiting months to finally introduce you to! 

• Fruitful stamp set
  
• Fruitful Sentiments stamp set

  

I started designing this last summer when I wanted to create labels for my blackberry jam. I gave most of them as Christmas gifts and with this set it's as easy as 1-2-3. 

Here is an early sample of what the printed round looked like before they were produced into a real stamp set.

I used a household twine to create a more rustic feel and the old fashioned jam jars.

Nichole Heady has amazed again with many samples of projects created with this set. I have attached a few photos, but please stop by for a step by step of how these beauties were put together!

Also make sure to stop by these ladies' blogs for more amazing and useful samples for this set. It really is ENDLESS!! Have fun ;)

day at the beach giveaway!

Summer is my favorite time of year and a sunny beach is my very fav place to relax. I'm partial to Mexico, but then that's where I have family roots and we spent our lovely honeymoon last year. Day at the Beach was largely inspired by the lazy days of summer and smiles brought out with the sun after a long winter and a rainy spring. 

As a tribute to summer and to this new stamp set, I would like to GIVEAWAY a Day at the Beach set! 

Please share a summer memory or your favorite thing about summer (flip flops and pedicures, swimming pools, tropical drinks ;)) anything. 

This contest will close Thursday, June 11th at 5pm Pacific Time. 

Winner will be chosen by www.random.org.

Please provide an e-mail and your name to contact you by so I can gather your info to send you your set!

Good luck everyone!

oooh, oooh this one is good

I KNOW you guys are going to like this next set. I did a project last summer with my mom and this project helped this June set came to life. (got the wheels turning). I will try not to give much away today, it's hard not to spill the berries, I mean beans. Nichole gave a little preview on her blog today to get your wheels turning as well ;) Have fun.

25 weeks

I had my darling husband take a 25 week photo of the growing belly the other day and I couldn't believe how big it was. I'm loving being pregnant more every day. Our little girl is very active and I'm coming to terms with the whole "who's body is this" phase. I'm rollin' with it and feel more comfortable in my skin now that I have. We ordered a crib that should be here any day now and a rocking chair so the baby's room is coming together. We had a Dr.'s appointment yesterday and all is well and good. Next trip will check my sugar. Fun.

Just wanted to say hi and thanks for stopping by my blog.
