fruity tuesday...

It seems I have a new fetish...I always love developing new obsessions :)  Lately my thing is FRUIT....paper, stamps, jars, jellies...the real stuff....fruit is cute, dontcha think? :)

So, today while my little one is buzzing about making me smile, I wanted to share some new favorite, fruity, stampy finds with you.

This first card uses stamps designed by a friend of mine who I adore, but who shall remain nameless, as she's sworn me to secrecy....these stamps are as endearing as she is.  What an adorable little pear, huh?  You can find her stamps at her etsy store called HappyLittleStamps...for $5 bucks...no way, but yes way :)

This next card uses fruity stamps from sweet October Afternoon...sigh...who doesn't love October Afternoon?  Love these little berry girls....paper from Melissa Frances along with the rubons and adorable vintage label.  The chipboard is from Tattered Angels along with the dusting of Glimmer Mist.

And......juicy, yummy, tantalizing Papertrey Ink stamps next up.  I used the new Fruitful stamp set on this along with Flower Garden Sentiments.  This set leaves my  mouth watering and my fingers itching to created something else.  Cardstock is Vintage Cream, ink is Ripe Avocado, Dark Chocolate, Melon Berry, and Summer Sunrise.  I used paper from Collage Press and gems from Kaisercraft. 

Lastly...one more little diddy using HappyLittleStamps...not so fruity, but a little bit sweet :)  I used the Cake and Flowers stamp set on this and turned the cupcake image into a basket filled with flowers....so much fun.  Thanks to my friend for sharing her stamps with me.

Hope you're enjoying your week so far....I sure am.  Tomorrow we PAINT!  So....life will be busy and messy and crazy for a bit.

Your friend has great taste, if you ask me! Simple, modern, yet still cute and chic. I hope no one hates me for having snatched up two of the three stamp sets she had for sale! I couldn't resist. Who could?! Especially with examples of use such as yours here... aw! I love them!
Your friend, whoever she may be, should really be proud of her work. Nameless?! In addition to you, who do I thank?! :")

Thanks for pointing me towards the cute stamps, and tell your friend I am thankful to her as well! I really can't wait to get them in the mail.

Oh these cards are gorgeous and I am in love with the white 'damask' paper you used on the first card - can't find anywhere that you say what it is - can you help?? Thanks from Denise in Australia :)
