A Flower For All Seasons


Happy first day of Fall! Starting things off this week with a few cards featuring A Flower For All Seasons & All Holidays sets. For those of you who know of my ribbon addiction, I'd like it noted, for the record, my cards today don't have ANY ribbon on them! I have no idea how that happened (it's a little shocking, even to me), but it's true. So that just goes to prove, I can indeed make a card without ribbon, lol ;) !!! These first 2 cards are both from the "fall" season stamp~
Don't you love this set? The fall stamp has to be my favorite, because of those little sunflowers and that tiny little ladybug, but the others images are super fun too :) !

Winter...
Spring...
Summer ... What do you think of this color combo? Basic Gray, Green Galore, Summer Sun, Brushed Silver :) ... it's different, but I think it works.
This also seems like the perfect time to share a RAK with you...this one from the fabulous Cami (Stamp a little Love baby)!!! She's got details about some extra special BLOG CANDY on her blog today...you'll want to be sure & check that out (just click on her name). Cami sent me this card for my birthday last month. You can click HERE for recipe for this fantastic card! Her husband & I not only share the same birthday, but the exact same year too! Isn't that cool? We were actually born on the SAME day! What are the chances of that? Anyway, Cami is the sweetest person in the world, love her cards, love her blog, I just love every single thing about her... she's simply AMAZING!! Thanks again Cami...YOU're the BEST {{{hugs}}}!!!
Wishing you a FABULOUS first day of FALL : ) !!! Thanks for stopping by!

These are all so wonderful Nancy!! I'm like you...it's so hard not to pull out the ribbon...but I really love the clean lines of these without it! And I do love the shimmery silver on that summer card!! What a fun color combo!

Wow, what an amazing assortment of cards using this little set. I just got this set yesterday and you have inspired me to use them. I have been luring around your blog for awhile and I love your work. I got your blog site from Sharon(notimetostamp). Love all of these cards especially the summer one!
