Here I am again....lots to share today. It's cold and rainy here....I really, really like it though...hope you're all staying safe and warm. I just picked up my little one from school...stopped to give Daddy kisses at work....replenished our popcorn supply...and have a toasty fire going now that we're home...I've got the itch to bake as it didn't happen last night....I'm going to make The Pioneer Woman's Best Chocolate Sheet Cake.Ever....have you tried her recipe? It's a very naughty, naughty recipe...prepare yourself for a serious addiction....last time I made them, I just parked my own little fork right there beside them....I know, I know....shame, shame, shame....but if only you'll try them...then your own little fork will wander over and sit right by the pan too...waiting ever so impatiently for a snitch. I figure if I don't eat breakfast, lunch, and maybe a tad bit of dinner...and basically just eat a 1" sliver of the cake, ohhh every half hour or so...then I'm just fine :) See....they are the devil.
A few cards to share with you today using some of the new Tattered Angels products...you'll see a peek of a new frame here along with Chocolate Covered Cherries Glimmer Mist....who could possibly resist that?
This card uses new Travel Chips and Glimmer Glass....there's that frame again all dressed up in Pashmina Glimmer Mist...and a new Glimmer Mist color called Sweet Clover. (New Vintage Posey paper from Melissa Frances can be spotted here too....gotta thing for purple lately...you know it's the new black, don't you?)
New Beach-y Glimmer Chips and Glass here along with 3 new Glimmer Mist colors...Tuttie Fruiti, Crushed Shells, and Delphinium.
And...MMMmmm...more Melissa Frances for you today....
The shabby, Attic Treasures line has been added to....you'll LOVE the new additions...
I couldn't resist trying to turn the MF crepe paper into a show ribbon....new Attic Treasures paper shown here as well and Vintage Ephemera.....
A shabby, little number here....a paper purse using a bit of both lines...Attic Treasures and Vintage Posey.
A couple of cards I made using all sorts of new MF beauties....have I mentioned how much I love the new products?
And, lastly...a just for fun card...
This creamy card uses Papertrey Ink stamps: Polka Dot Basics II, Background Basics: Petal Power, and Heart Prints stamp sets, Kraft cardstock, Sweet Blush button, and Vintage Cream and Dark Chocolate ink. The sweet image is from Crafty Secrets, the stampy and glittery heart and trinket pin from Maya Road, a bit of vintage receipt paper, and or course tea-stained twill tape.
Pheeewww....hope you had a great day today!
Off to put dinner in the oven.
Night.
Melis

These new products are enticing, but I think much of that is due to your showcasing of them. All your designs are beautiful, but that sweet little paper purse is calling my name... just like PW's cake is calling yours.

Just gorgeous work, I love both MF products and Tattered Angels and have tried to find an online store for them with no luck. Everyone around us that use to sell these products has closed. Can you help? [email protected] Thanks so much

I love them all!! You've been so busy and the results are stunning!!!

Oh yum yum, both the projects and the cake!!!

I love your work. What inspires me about these is that I can totally see using these techniques in scrapbooking since I scrapbook more often than make cards. Love the beach day card and can so see using this on a scrapbook layout! Thanks so much for sharing with us!
