June Swap Card

Here's my card that I made for our June swaps. I really wanted to use my Daydream Medallions stamps and Floral Frames framelits, but wanted something nice and clean. Enter the monochromatic look! I love how clean this card looks and yet it has a ton of layers and fun patterns.

Sunday Haul #1

Warning: This post is incredibly long and picture heavy. I may have a bit of a crafting supply addiction...Every Sunday I will be highlighting the crafting products that I bought/received from the previous week. This first haul encompasses the craft purchases from the month of April and the first part of May.

Obligatory Michael's visit. I run in to get snail, and look at all the stuff I bought! (Not shown: Door prizes for my crafting open house a few weeks back). I grabbed a cute desktop organizer that fits some of my PL cards, snail, pack of Amy Tangerine designed cardstock (really good weight), and the Inspirational PL Theme Pack.

I also received two RAKs in the mail. I'm especially loving the alphabet stickers. Can never have too many of those.

I received my PL Rain partial that I ordered from the FB group. So pretty! Finally I have some cards with purple in them. And I finally picked up a partial Midnight kit.

This past month I became a Stampin' Up demonstrator. That also means that I had to order my starter kit. $125 worth of product for $99! I got my total down to having $0.25 left. I'd say that I spent my money wisely.

Island Indigo Ink Pad -- How do I not own this ink pad yet? I have the marker and adore the color.
Glue dots -- I use these a ton.
Glue sticks -- Bought for classes and workshops.
Embossing Buddy -- I have no idea where mine disappeared to...
Polka Dot 8" x 8" Album -- Thinking about making this my Daily December album for this coming year.
Green Dot 6" x 6" Album -- Not sure what to do with this one yet, but it was on clearance for a great price.

Letters to Santa DSP -- Clearance and retired, but such a cute pattern that I couldn't resist.
Epic Day This and That Stickers -- To go with the journal. I already own the washi tape.
Blender Pens -- Been wanting these for awhile. Figured I should finally buy them.
Basic Black Ink Pad -- My black ink pad is one of the old designs. I know they've reformulated the ink, so I thought it was time for a new one.
2013-2015 In Color DSP -- I really need to highlight these gorgeous colors more.

I also put in my April club order to snap up some retiring items. All the items from my April club order are retiring and all but the markers are now completely gone.
