The Fresh Squeezed gals were kind enough to send me a couple stamp sets to play with.  Girls, I have to tell you, the quality of these stamps are superb!  I pulled them right our of the package and got crisp, clear images right off the bat.  No need to prime.  No need to stamp on a mouse pad.  These are AMAZING!  Let's have a peek.

The first stamp set is called Happy Hexagons.  This set is REALLY really cute!  I decided to make a flower from the hexagons.  The paper is from Heidi Swapp.

Here's my second project using the Subway Series Holidays set.  I used a Whisker Graphics Chevron Middy Bitty Bag.  The paper is from Die Cuts With a View and the ribbon is orange net from May Arts.

Have a great day, friends!  Don't forget to stop by the Fresh Squeezed Stamps Facebook and let them know I sent you!  

Sweet 16

Hi friends!  I hope you're having a great week!  We are really embracing the summer this year!  We've been out doing activities every day this week.  We are taking it easy this morning after staying late at a pizza place last night for dinner with friends.  We have no plans for today so we'll see where that takes us.

Today, I'm sharing a card I made for publication that wasn't picked up aka a reject card.  I actually really like this card.  I made it with a couple Mint Motif stamp sets and some Heidi Swapp Sugar Chic paper.  I think that these papers are really fun and perfect for a teenager.  I added some gems to complete the design.  Now if only I knew someone turning 16...

Have a great day, friends!
