Hello and welcome back! Did you see the solar eclipse? It was a clear day here in Winston Salem and even with only 94% coverage, I thought it was pretty magical. I especially loved that you could see the eclipse through the dappled light on our driveway.
Did you know that Winston Salem is the birthplace of Krispy Kreme donuts? [Fun fact: The first store was located in Old Salem just a few blocks from where my girls go to school.] On Monday, Krispy Kreme offered 'Eclipse' donuts! They replaced the original glaze in their glazing machine with chocolate! The cars were backed up 10 deep just to get into the parking lot. I parked across the street and only had to wait about 30 minutes in line to get a dozen. They didn't last long!
Allrighty... enough about donuts! Today's sneak peek is from a new GIRL POWER set called Fierce... because sometimes you just need a sentiment like the ones in this set. This set includes 7 sentiments and 4 supporting images. Our designers have done an awesome job with this set. They were INSPIRED!
This card is simply gorgeous! Ilina watercolored a heart and then simply stamped the sentiment over the heart.
I love the mini heart twinkle stickers!
Of course, Ilina makes this all look so easy! To learn more about her process, and see more of her work, visit her blog HERE.
This card cracked me up when I saw it. It's just so pretty and then you read the sentiment.
The flowers Lisa used are from the new Summer Blooms set.
To see more from Lisa, visit her blog HERE.
I LOVEEE this big sentiment so much and I love how Melissa paired it with the heart that is included with the Fierce stamp set!
Embossing is still my favorite technique after all these years! A Muse Studio's clear embossing powder is the BEST! It's ultrafine and makes your images shine.

Can I comment for Sue LD? I'm sure Sharon would comment if she could and hopefully can still use these along with Sue.

One of my craftiest friends is my daughter,
Kathy. She's still working so she doesn't
get to do as much as she would like.
She's also not on the computer, except at
work, so she won't be posting my name.
thanks for the chance to win the set.
