A couple of cards to share with you tonight, the first created with Papertrey Ink's Peaceful Garden and Garden Variety stamp sets.
The Vanilla Bean scrunched seam binding is from Craft Spot, the paper from Jenni Bowlin and Melissa Frances.
I also used a Creative Scrap from Crafty Secrets Birds & Blossoms collection.
This second card uses beautiful stamps and supplies from Darkroom Door. Thank you Rachel for your sweet package. The stamps are from the Correspondence collection, the floral image from the Art de Fleur Montage, and the Wordstrip from the Love Letters collection. The paper is from Melissa Frances and Jenni Bowlin once again and the seam binding from Memrie Mare.
Hope you're enjoying July wherever you are. It is flying by like never before, but has been wonderful. I found this quote today and wanted to share it here:
Elder M. Russell Ballard has taught us the importance of the Savior’s admonition to “behold your little ones” when he said: “Notice that He didn’t say ‘glance at them’ or ‘casually observe them’ or ‘occasionally take a look in their general direction.’ He said to behold them. To me that means that we should embrace them with our eyes and with our hearts; we should see and appreciate them for who they really are: spirit children of our Heavenly Father, with divine attributes” (“Behold Your Little Ones,” Tambuli, Oct. 1994, 40; emphasis added; “Great Shall Be the Peace of Thy Children,” Ensign,Apr. 1994, 59).
Thanks for visiting.

I love love love your style! Every post makes me speachless!
Please make some tutorials at some point! I'd love (for instance) to see how you make your seam binding bows, how you secure all your layerings, your painting techniques, how you chose layout, textures and colours, how you make such crisp stamping on patterned paper...
Thanks for making such amazing things!
