Ummmm...is that not one of the cutest quotes, like, ever? Let me answer that for you. Yes. It, indeed, IS one of the cutest quotes ever! AND...to make it even BETTER, the ever fabulous Samantha Walker has included it in her Ornate Artisan Stackers set for Unity in pure, beautiful rubber form! *LOVE!*
"BUT WAIT!" you exclaim! "That flower isn't in the Ornate Artisan Stackers set???!"
Wow! You are on the ball today, my friends! And you are absolutely correct! You see...shhhhh! Don't tell anyone, but *sometimes* I use more than one stamp set on a single card. *GASP!* I KNOW, right?! You know....like when the sentiments from one aren't really working with where you want to go, but the images are...THAT my friends is when it happens! I reach for another stamp set. WOW! The power of two! HA!!!!
Both the flower and the clock are from the seriously adorable Cuckoo Clocks set. Ummm...*HEART!* And yes, I did painstakingly hand cut each and every one of those little pieces. And yes, I genuinely enjoyed doing it. WHAT? SORRY!!! I can't help it if I'm a little crazy! What do you want from me, really? HOWEVER, in the event that you have no desire whatsoever to do that, I can help you out with the clock. You can thank Samantha Walker and Spellbinders for that one. As for the flower, buck up and cut the daggum thing out, people! HA!
Oh...and I mentioned associations, so here you go! It's kind of funny that we associate these gorgeous colors with fall. I mean, yes, her in New England they are everywhere, but have you ever seen Orlando in October? How about Dallas? New Orleans? Ummm...no orange, yellow, or red. Well, that's not true. The colors are entirely present, but not on leaves of deciduous trees. Heck...good luck even FINDING a deciduous tree in some places! Curious. Very Curious. BUT, that doesn't stop me from being head over heals in love with this amazing Orchard Harvest collection from Samantha Walker for Creative Imaginations! I used the 6x6 paper pad and I LOVE IT!!!!! The twine is from The Twinery and knotted for some adorable texture!
And that, my friends is my Friends With Flair post for today! I hope you have a super fantastic Friday!!!!
