Eco Chic is going to be one of my favorite stamps sets, you know when you can just tell.  I bought it mainly because my 12 year old thought it was a really cute set, and its young and fresh.  Some stamps sets do not appeal to a younger audience.  Anyhow, I inked them up and boy so I love it, I just have a million different thoughts on what I can do with this set.   The two cards below are from CC173, using purely pomegranate, wild wasabi & certainly celery.  I actually really liked this color combo, once I got started, everything flowed well.   supplies used: kraft, purely pomegranate, wild wasabi, certainly celery, & whisper white cardstock, Wild Wasabi stitched ribbon, Regal Rose grossgrain ribbon, staple, circle punch, copic markers, tim holtz ink, Ledger paper from Making Memories, Score-pal to score the lines on the first card

I had originally stamped faux stitches using all in a row by SU, but I didn't li...

Is anyone else having problems with blogger today? These pictures took forever to upload!! I am so proud of myself. Today I did another page for my daughter :) but everything was from stuff I already have and I used my cricut...which had some serious dust bunnies on it, & I used some stickers. I have soooooo many stickers, but do I ever use them anymore, hhmmm "no". I even have them hanging underneath a shelf, so I can see them. Its almost like a store because they are all in there packages hanging there perfectly...but too perfect to use...I know, I must be 1/2 crazy...we all are >" I'm focusing now, back to the page. All of the paper is from the Pheobe line of BasicGrey, and I used my handy dandy cricut to cut out some sweeeeet letters from the Doodletype cartridge. The pink flowers are Got Flowers Deux {primas} with little silver brads in the center. The vellum sticker {definition of a girl} is from EK success that I bought forever ago at AC Moore or Miche...
