SAB - such a great bundle!

Finally sharing this beauty I made with the Basket and Emboss Folder bundle that was available in Sale-a-bration.  The basket is gone now, but I am so glad the Emboss Folder is continuing on in our new upcoming Annual Catalog.  It is a Dynamic folder and make such a deep nice impression.

My flowers waterclolored using an aqua painter and the ink on the inside of the lid of the stamp pads.  And I fussy cut and popped up the little butterfly from the set.

Below you can see how I finished the inside of the card.

The pretty shimmery ribbon was also a freebie during Sale-a-bration and coordinated just beautifully.

Hope you like the inspiration - stop back soon for more.  ~Maureen

Sharing some beauty

Just wanted to share these photos of some of the beauty that surrounds us.  Here is a picture of one my hydrangea plants in my backyard.  Just look how vibrant that pink is.

Here's a close-up of the blossoms - they look almost too perfect.  What a lovely site to look at each morning.

And how about this sunset - my daughter Jenee took this picture the evening of July 18 and I just had to post it here.  God's handiwork.  Isn't that absolutely stunning!!! 

I never cease to be amazed at the beauty that surrounds us every day.  Take time today to look for the beauty in your life.  Stop back soon!! ~Maureen
