I love cherry pie.

I have this friend. Her name is Maggie, and she can do everything. I'm not joking. Every year on my birthday, she makes me a cherry pie, from scratch. And when I say "from scratch", I mean she actually picks the cherries herself, preserves her own pie filling, and of course, makes the crust herself. I wouldn't be surprised if she makes everything from memory and doesn't measure anything. She's just that good. The best part? She acts like it's no big deal. Here is my thank-you card for this year's pie (I was so excited to get WMS "Blessed By You" so I could use that pie stamp!):
...and cherry pie for breakfast is the best thing ever!
Paper: PTI White, Pure Poppy
Ink: SU Creamy Caramel, Mellow Moss, Real Red marker
Stamps: WMS Blessed by You, PTI Everyday Button Bits, Everyday Classics
Other: Nesties Labels #1, PTI Pure Poppy Satin ribbon, buttons, dimensional tape

    Oh my goodness - to have a friend like Maggie! Happy Birthday to you (I presume it's in advance). Maggie's going to swoon when she see's your exquisite Thank You card. I do believe you've outdone yourself.

    OMG Cheryl. I love cherry pie too, but this card takes the cake! It's AWESOME. I'm thinking I can recreate it using the pie stamp from PTI's My Punny Valentine. I need to make friends with YOUR friend...yum.

ELC Look On the Bright Side Kit

Hi friends,  Erin Lee Creative has a fantastic new kit today which coordinates with the previously-released Somewhere Kit .  It's called Look On the Bright Side , and it has a die, stencil and stamp sets with the most perfect sentiments for encouragement cards.  There is also a rainbow alphabet set available as an add-on.   Join us in our blog hop today and comment to enter for a giveaway (see below). Isn't this a great kit? My first card uses the rainbow burst stencil.  I pounced white ink through the stencil, then I used Polychromos pencils to color over the white ink.  This technique allows the color to stand out on dark cardstock.  Of course I had to add a little shine and glitter, so I colored over parts of the rainbow and rays with a shimmer pen. My next two cards were inspired by a T-shirt ad I came across, and I loved the ombré of skin tones.  I really believe that good things are coming, and I absolutely believe that we rise by lift...
