More sneaky peeks

I spent some more time this evening playing with my new goodies. The only color I have yet to test drive is the Bermuda Bay and that is on my list for tomorrow evening. I love all the colors I have used so far and Rich Razzleberry is fun to work with. My daughter is going to love this color!


I also got to play with the first of my new stamp sets. This is a level 3 hostess set from the new catalog called Kind and Caring Thoughts. It has beautiful floral images and some lovely sentiment stamps, including the Best Wishes used on this first card.

Cardstock & DP - Very vanilla, Rich Razzleberry. Razzleberry Lemonade DP.

No "new" stamp sets on this next card but I do love this little animals - cute, funny and easy to color.

Is there any color combo that will not work with this set? I had a vacation day today and managed to have some play time before taking Rhiannon to her Dr appointment. So, here is what I came up with. My DH loves the third card and I like the first but really want to make it with Haiku DP and matching colors.
