My project today is made with images from Paper Smooches and designer paper from Echo Park and American Crafts.

I stamped my bird, boat, and sentiment from Wicked Nauticool in Memento Black Ink, and then colored in my boat using Spectrum Noir markers. I used the Nauticool Die to cut out the boat. All are available at i {heart} papers.

The Cherry Baker's Twine and Cherries Jubilee button are from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Here is Sketch #100!

My project today is made with images from The {Stamps} of Life.

I loved this designer paper by My Mind's Eye, and decided to pair it with images from the kites2fly stamp set, along with the Kite Die set.
