to create a 4th of July card!!!

I have finally used my neglected

All American Avery by The Paper Nest Dolls.

Isn't she adorable?!?!?

I just recently received this scallop

frame die by Gina Marie Designs and

Pisces Mermaid

Hello my Crafty Friends!!!!

I have a friend with a birthday 

coming up this month and we both

LOVE Mermaids!!! So it gave me

a chance to use this cute stamp by 

The Paper Nest Dolls called Pisces.

I also got to use some fun crafty

things on here I have been wanting to

play with.  I used my Sea Horse die

by Tim Holtz and embossed it

with a Sizzix dots embossing folder. 

I finally got to play with this Frantage

by Stampendous. I have seen lots 

of people use this stuff and wanted to 

play with it too.

I finally got a card finished!!

We have been doing some remodeling

in the house and I hadn't been allowed

to sneak away to my room because of it!!

Well my Father In Law needed his washer 

machine fixed at his place and that gave me

a way to play in my room!!! Yippee!!!!

I recently got this doll digital stamp 

from Paper Nest Dolls called
