Daisies at Sunset
Another quick post until I get caught up. Melissa Banbury used a brayer to create her card. Since I only have one brayer, I thought I would try sponging the colors. I believe it turned out nicely and my customers voted it as their favorite from my July Stamp Camp. I am really wondering how I have survived all these years of cardmaking without the Oval Framelit dies. Love em!

Granny Mac’s Gingham Garden
My grandma, who was affectionately known as Granny Mac, had a Melon Mambo gingham apron. And I remember a table cloth similar to the floral pattern. The whole Gingham Garden collection reminds me of her. She was one sweet lady and I know if she was with us today, I would be sending her this card.

This & That Birthday
The subtle elements in this card really catch the eye. Mary Fish did a fabulous job with the design. I used brads on my initial design as I waited with anticipation of the new Candy Dots from the 2013-2014 Annual Catalog. They immediately became my favorite-got-to-have-them-in-every-color products.

A Wish with Clout
I used this card as a make & take at a crop I attended last Friday evening. The ladies loved making it. It is just a very classy card filled with meaning. I hope it will brighten the day of the recipients. We also made this card at my June Stamp Camp.
