ink to paper august...

Hello Dear  Friends!  It's been a while.  Thank you for hanging in there with me.  I wanted to share my fun Ink to Paper August projects with you.  I'm so happy it's the onset of Fall crafting :).  

My first project might be my most favorite of the month.  It uses the darling Tag Creations:  Delightful Bunch stamp set and coordinating dies.

Supplies used on You're Loved a Bunch Bag:

The sweet Birdie stamp set and dies were used on my next card.  Love the tiny bird cages :).

Supplies used on Happy Anniversary Card:

The new Lovely Leaves stamp set and dies are a must have in your stamping stash.  I've also used the new Thankful Thoughts stamp set and dies on this card as well.  I love stamping leaves in non-traditional colors.

Supplies used on So Very Blessed Card:

More Lovely Leaves used on this card along with the new Just Sentiments:  Grateful Heart.

Supplies used on Grateful Heart Card:

The new On the Border:  Fall Foliage dies are completely stunning.  I've paired them with the new Inside Greetings:  Gratitude and To Die for Sweet Blessings.

Supplies used on Blessed Card:

I had so much fun creating this card, using the dies from the new It's a Sign:  Love & Kindness with felt...love flowers cut from felt and layered together.

Supplies used on Love and Kindness Card:

Lastly, the new Tent Style Packaging die paired with the Monster dies will sure make for some fun Halloween goodie bags this October.  These are so easy to whip up!

Supplies used on Tricks & Treats bag:

I appreciate your love and support and patience with me.  Thank you for checking in on me and all of your prayers.  One day I will share my story.

I have missed your blog posts and have tried to keep up on IG. It is GREAT to have you back, and I hope you will be able to create and share often. You are just the sweetest, and I love seeing your cards. Your talent is so special, and seeing your work is both an inspiration to me and a big help when making shopping choices. I so enjoy seeing your special take on how to use stamps and dies, and always enjoy a visit to your blog, especially when time doesn't allow me to craft like I want to. It is a pleasure to come here and just take a look!

[Heidi Gonzales]

So happy to see you back creating and to see you enjoy the process again. You were dearly missed by many! I thought of you often while you took some time off and selfishly hoped you would be able to return, but really prayed that if and when you did that you would find the joy I know you get making cards and packaging. So happy for you.
