Sorry about the shadows on these. My scanner is not the best and when there is any kind of embellishment it causes shadows. But are these so cute! I used scraps from my Twitterpated workshop pages to make these! I followed the workshop suggestions, but altered them slightly to fit what I had!

Dandelion Wishes - Using Sept Stamp of the Month

I know the pictures of my layout are not always the best, but I wanted to show you this one! I heat embossed the dandelion with white embossing powder and it looks so real, like the seeds are just floating off the page! I used a Dimensional Element D and stamped the seeds on it. I also used Outdoor Denim and Olive Cardstock, since that matched Zeke's shirt. The B&T paper is actually from the EVENSONG paper pack. That is a Christmas paper pack, but it went so perfectly with this layout!

I love this stampset. I can't wait to make some cards with it next!

How do orders get prepared for you?

Last night I was working on an order getting it all bagged up for everyone and Tony jumped up and took these pictures of me. He said he thought I should put them on my blog! So here they are.

My UPS man delivers my boxes to the front door and most of you pick up your orders at the front door, so I just sit by tthe front door to divide the orders... I mean, who really wants to drag that heavy box around only to have to bring the bags right back! A

I have to say after birthing 3 children, this sitting position is rough on my hips! But it works the best! Looks real organized, doesn't it??? Ha, ha!
