PureSunshineBannerHello there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for a blog hop to promote their amazing new Pure Sunshine release. If you’re following the hop, then you should have arrived here from the talented Debby Hughes.
SSS~Thought BubbleI’m featuring the new Thought Bubble Stamp Set and Thought Bubble Dies. This set has the happiest feel to it, with trendy font combinations and it’s one that you’ll use over and over. The large thought bubbles can be used it so many ways. I had to refrain myself from making a shaker card, lol. I feel like I do that on every other post, but this die would be perfect for making one.

  22. Your background colouring is jus perfect! And please do make a shaker card with the new dies, I can never have enough of them.

  42. I keep visiting your blog even though it is hard for me….you have the same name as my sister who recently passed away 😥 ….. cute card and instructions… i have no dies and very few stamps so winning would be great! thanks

  51. Your card is so sweet, cute & fun just like you. I really love all your neat clever and creative ways that you used the new release goodies. I laughed when you talked about your craft mat and the tools I do the same thing and yep got the mat and it never leaves my table but at least you aren’t an impulse shopper and that’s a good thing. Always love what you do and how you do it and your videos are always so fun. You are just such a talented gal!!
