When I first saw Lost Lagoon, I wasn't terribly crazy about it. It still isn't one of my favorites, but when I saw it Tuesday on LeeAnn Greff's blog, while catching up on some emails and blog reading, I fell in love with it, at least used like this.
Thank you LeeAnn for another beautiful card to CASE.
Isn't this just beautiful. I think it must be the Very Vanilla that makes this color look so much prettier.
Be sure to use Tear and Tape to stick the Venetian Crochet trim. Quick and easy!
Recipe:
Lost Lagoon (retiring!) - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Very Vanilla - 5 1/2" x 3"
Very Vanilla - 4" x 1 1/4" (banner)
Venetian Crochet (retiring) Trim - 5 1/2" / 4" and 4" (if you do the top and the bottom of the banner)
Stamps: Gorgeous Grunge, First Sight - I strongly recommend the wood set for this one - there are two teeny tiny stamps in here that won't keep you smiling when they fly off the clear block when cleaning or stamping!
Ink: Lost Lagoon (retiring - don't forget the refill!)
Sponge Daubers
Sweetheart Punch
Pearl Basic Jewels
I think this would also be beautiful in other colors as well. It would really just depend on the person you are sending it to and what colors they might like.
Thank you for stopping by today. I'd love it if you would leave me a comment. I know I'm guilty of peeking at blogs and not commenting, but I'm trying to be better at it.
Have a Happy Hump Day! ~ Donna

I thought I'd share something with you from a post about a year ago. This set Sprinkles of Life, is currently the Ronald McDonald House Charities set that you can find on the back cover of the current Annual Catalog. $3.00 from each purchase of this set goes directly to Ronald McDonald House Charities.
When I first posted about it, I mentioned that I thought it was the best RMHC set I'd seen. Well guess what? I was apparently right because this set is going to carry over to the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog. HOWEVER, it is carrying over as a regular set, no donation (there will be a new one for RMHC). So, I thought I'd bring back this card to share so you might order it now while it can still earn a donation.
To see the original post - go HERE.
Won't you take a moment and order this for Ronald's kids?

While trying to use some of our stamps that are retiring, I found two today that go together. I bet you think it's both of the flowers you see on today's card, but oddly enough, they aren't going together.
The Petite Petals stamps are retiring as is Perfect Pennants. The small flower punch that goes with the stamps is not retiring, so perhaps there will be something new to go with it.
This was so fast and easy to put together. Here are the details.
Recipe:
Base - Calypso Coral - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Very Vanilla - 5 1/4" x 4"
Calypso Coral - 3 7/8" x 2 7/8"
Very Vanilla - 3 3/4" x 2 3/4"
Stamps: Petite Petals (retiring), Perfect Pennants (retiring), Flower Shop
Ink: Calypso Coral
Extras: Wink of Stella Clear; Rhinestone Basics
Medium Very Vanilla Envelopes - add a little love to the envelope by stamping some more flowers on the flap and in the corner front.
You can't see the glimmer from the Wink of Stella in the above pictures, but turning it here you can see it very clearly. It looks lovely, don't you think?
You can see above how I popped up the little flowers with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Thank you for looking in today. Let's make it a great week! ~ Donna
