Baby, it’s hot outside! Anyone else looking forward to some cooler weather? Mama wants to wear some long sleeves!

Well, since I can’t wear long sleeves, I decided I’d give away my favorite cool-me-down drink–and that would be a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino with Peppermint, without whip cream, from Starbucks.

 

 

Talk about yummy! I’m not a coffee drinker, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy a lovely refreshing drink or a hot cocoa (Black+White) from Starbucks.

Leave a comment about what your favorite drink is and I’ll pick a random person to gift this $30 gift card to. The lucky person will be announced Monday. And be sure to check out the previous posts for fun different gifting fun. :)

And now for our creative sharing, we have the lovely Laura Vegas sharing some gorgeous cards!

 

 

Lovin’ a little patterned paper…a few polkadots from Spot On…some different Happy Mail sentiments…and a little label stamp. Sweet. Simple. Lovely.

Here’s Laura to tell us more:

Hey everyone! I’m still working on upping my card stash these days, as I love having cards on hand for any and all occasions. When I first saw Kerri’s Label Maker kit, I knew all of those little labels would be awesome for holding my stamped sentiments for cards. 

I’m definitely a simple card maker, and usually aim to keep my cards fairly flat for easy mailing. While my design is basic – a piece of patterned paper on top, a stamped background pattern on the bottom, and a label holding a stamped sentiment in the middle – it’s one that is easy to duplicate and mass produce, which is something I love to do when making cards. 

I printed the sheet of navy labels, and stamped three different sentiments using the Happy Mail #1 and Happy Mail #2 stamp sets in black ink before trimming them apart. I then picked out a few patterned papers that coordinated with the navy and added them to the tops of my card bases. I used Kerri’s new Spot On background stamp for the bottom part of my cards, stamping it in coordinating colors onto white textured cardstock, which I then cut down and adhered to my card bases.
