I got some time to stamp yesterday and just had to pull out my new things from the Summer Smooches package being offered in April.  Many of you know that I have what I call “seasonal stampers disorder”.  My colors choices are completely and utterly seasonal!  I have to say that this beautiful selection of products fits that syndrome beautifully!

Just look at the bright, happy colors here!  They are just perfect for Margaret Moody’s wonderful sketch over at Pals Paper Arts this week.  The Summer Smooches DSP has the most wonderful designs.  I thought this pattern would be fun to use with the matching stamp from Bright Blossoms.  All I did was mimic the colors from the paper when I stamped the flowers.  I matched the little yellow centers from the DSP with a Daffodil Delight brad in the middle of the biggest flower.  Easy and fun!  For the little flag, I pulled out my trusty Teeny Tiny Wishes for the sentiment.  What would I do without that set??!!  The card seemed to need something else so out came the handy dandy Mat Pack for some paper piercing.

I’m still enjoying all of my Sale-a-bration products and the ones from the Occasions mini but it was nice to get a little preview of the upcoming catalog.  The Summer Smooches suite of products will become available on April 1st for one month only (some of the products will only be offered for that month!!).  Just wait until you see the little purses made with the new Big Shot die.  I’d show you the one I made the other day but it was already taken by a friend of my boys…she just loved it!!

I have some great new cards to show you next week!  I’ll be back Tuesday with the SUO Challenge and Wednesday with Freshly Made Sketches.  Until then, thanks for stopping by.  Have a great weekend!
