What is Your Favorite Summer Fruit?
Hands down my favorite is watermelon and what goes better together than gnomes, watermelon and cute cards. Sweet, juicy watermelon just hits the spot on a hot summer day! Our Monthly Paper Pad Club features the cutest watermelon paper, gnomes and even some adorable ephemera should you decide to add that on. And don't forget that you are going to need some great sentiments to go with those cards so you might want to think about adding on the stamp set that goes perfectly with these papers.
And while you're shopping don't forget to use the frequency and click on monthly so you can receive that 18% discount. This is the absolute best value for a fabulous paper collection and who wouldn't want this in your mailbox each and every month?
I used the No Scraps Sketch template that Beth from Bourbon Creek Crafts shared with us at the Cottage Rose retreat to create 4 quick and easy cards. Sketches are fabulous for doing just that.
Our Monthly Mood Board Challenge is just the spot to show off your lovely creations using Not 2 Shabby products. So what are you waiting for? Come on and enter those wonderful creations!
For this month I chose to use the super cute watermelon papers with the gnomes as the cut aparts inside for my cards. Most of the time I make multiple cards when I sit down to craft. Beth's No Scrap sketches are the best at making super adorable cards.
I also made a video to showcase these cute cards for my Not 2 Shabby Day this past Friday. Check out the video below if you missed it.
Congrats to Margie Ryne! You are our winner! Please email me!
