I will keep my words short and ever so sweet tonight as there is just so much to share...Happy Papertrey Ink Release Night....so much to love about this month's new stamp sets...so let's get started.
I'm smitten with this pair of stamp sets I'm about to share with you....designed by none other than Dawn McVey...Top Ten and Top Ten Additions stamp sets are SO much fun....the first thing that crossed my mind when creating with this set was my little girl of course and creating a fun little tag booklet to slip in her lunchbox for Valentine's Day for a sweet surprise.
I was not alone in sharing the lunchbox love....Nichole posted the sweetest note cards, also created with this set, to slip inside her kid's lunches as well...really a sweet idea for our little ones.
I created this tag booklet from a few coin envelopes and small paper bags...they are simply secured together on one end leaving the open ends free to place a card, note, picture, even a heart shaped sucker inside. Each page lists one of the many things I love about her on it, while inside contains a small card where I can write more in depth notes to her and list the reasons why I love her so. The new Basic Grey Sugar Rush collection is perfect for fun and playful projects such as this.
Next up is the Background Basics: Petal Power set....this is one I will reach for over and over again.
I carried the design and theme through to the inside on this card and chose to include my sentiment here instead of on the outside just for fun.
This card uses the oh, so adorable Baby Button Bits stamp set....mmm....love this set.
I also used some Melissa Frances paper, Maya Road chipboard, and Crafty Secrets vintage image on this card.
I have a love thing going on with this set....the Through the Trees stamp set that is...
Couldn't resist using some Maya Road rubons and chipboard here along with new Basic Grey Origins paper.
Lastly the Daily Designs and Daily Designs Sentiments stamp sets were used on this fun little mini card set.
That's it from me....did ya have a good day?

Melissa, I absolutely LOVE your bows. Please think about a post that shows us all how you tie them so nicely. I especially adore the double bows, like the one on this post.
Thanks much,

The red and ivory card is my favorite of all the gorgeous designs, Melis. I love how the chipboard heart frames the lace.
