Proud as A...


Proud as a peacock...must derive from the feelings of fathers as they walk their "little" girl down the long church aisle and hand her off to her future husband. Granted, that must be after they get over the initial sadness?


Thrilled to continue guest designing for Fresh Squeezed Stamps this month. The second set from Fresh Squeezed Stamps that I got to work with is called Tickle My Fancy and is full of lush feather images in different styles, along with some great corresponding sentiments. I seem to really enjoy working with feathers lately so this set is just my style! For today's card I stamped a bunch of the peacock feathers onto scraps of brightly colored card stock and then assembled them onto a card base in a color block style. I added a touch of glossy accents to the heart center of each feather.


Please stop on over to the Fresh Squeezed Blog for more information about this super fun set and pop on by their Facebook Page and say hello to Fresh Squeezed Stamps on their Twitter Page too!

Wishing all a Happy Thanksgiving today to those celebrating!
