There’s this new blogging event thing that Shimelle is starting called “10 things”. It looks like fun and I couldn’t resist joining in!
On the 10th of the month you’ll find a list here from me about some 10 things.
To start it off, I’ll make a list using one of the latest cards that I made that I really am happy with! It’s a new Ippity Stamps set called New Season, New Wonder. A super cute and versatile 6 image set that is all fruity! Take a peek:

- it’s easy to duplicate
- because it is just plain SWEET!!
It’s that time of year again when graduation ceremonies are cropping up everywhere, summer is coming and the end of the school year is in sight.
I love this school house digital stamp from The Stamping Boutique! You can do so much with it! I’ve used it here for my graduation card.
I used lots of circles since that’s the next challenge at TSB. Circles on patterned paper, cut out of paper, embellishments or even the shape of the card – USE CIRCLES and lots of them!

I was able to visit the back woods of Kentucky a couple of years ago when I was working with P K Glitz. Janelle and Jim, co-owners, have a beautiful old B&B right by the rail tracks. It was a really fun visit with a great chance to feel cool weather and see the leaves change.
