Paper Sweeties September Challenge





I  received and email from Debbie telling me I earned a spot to guest design with the Sweeties Teamies for this September challenge. I also won 20$ to spend in the store! (Nice!)
That was very exciting ..but…. then I did worry what I could come up with since I did not have any border stamps. 


I sorta clustered my flowers in a bit of a star shape. I used the stamp set Beautiful  to create my lower edge and for the sentiment!
The flowers are from Stand Add-on 2. I bought that set with my granddaughters in mind. It has so many cute items to put on the cart. We had so much fun playing with them a few weeks ago.
 They keep asking when we can make cards again
 and use the pumpkin stand.
Thanks for stoping by!

  15. Oh, I see I've got a lot of catching up to do!!
    Well you certainly solved the 'having-no-border-stamp-problem'!!!
    That's such a creative solution and gorgeous too!!
    Very stylish!
    You coloured all the flowers (!) and I sooo much love the heart of the flower/ stamens you created.
    The sequins are the perfect touch to give it a little 'glamour' and depth.
    Bye,

    Ps. Your grandchildren are soooo very lucky to have a grandmother like you who has all this wonderful stuff to create all those gorgeous cards with! :-)
