I am so excited to share with you this month’s project with for our Fancy Friday monthly hop!  If you just came over from the amazing Jeanna, welcome to the next stop.  My friends and I want to be able to share with you our ideas in a monthly format.  We will use different themes each month – sometimes colors, sometimes a sketch, sometimes a stamp set focus.  The one thing you can count on is that it will be fancy!  Over our year on the 2013 Artisan Design Team,  “fancy” became our word to describe the best projects, the best new clothes, even the best pedicure colors.  Now we want to share with you our take on “fancy” each month.  This month our theme is “We will miss you”!  We are making projects with items on the newly released Retirement List.

I think this sentiment from Hi There is so fabulous!  The perfect cursive!  And a great size to combine with other stamps.  I created the ‘friend’ with my Alphabet Rotary Stamp (not retiring, thank goodness) using Lost Lagoon and they work together perfectly.  The ‘hello’ is stamped and embossed with Crushed Curry Stampin’ Emboss Powder.  I used my Piercing Tool down one side of the Whisper White panel and attached a button tied with Crushed Curry Baker’s Twine.  I added the background polka dot pattern from the Flowerpot dsp for some color and a Night of Navy panel underneath the image for a little pop.  This is such a fun card to make and you can change your sentiment to fit whomever you want to say hello to!

My oh so talented friend Mercedes Weber is up next!   As always, you are going to love what she created!
