Good morning! I have a few new sets and samples from Clear Dollar Stamps to share with you today, so let's get to it!
First up is a set called "Veterinary Clinic"; as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to work with it! I made a scrapbook page featuring our puppy Paisley. She is 7 weeks in the photo...I can't believe how tiny she looks! She is close to 4 months old now, and has gotten huge! I chose a couple of images from the set and paired them with some text. I added a bit of color with pencils (I used purple to complement the color of her collar) and finished the page with a photo of Paisley.

Extras: Prismas/Goo Gone, QuicKutz Hand Tool and Photo Corner Die, The Paper Studio Sticky Doos
Next I have a couple of cards using a set called "Cherries on Top". For my first card, I chose a bunch of cherries and paired it with a coordinating sentiment. The cherries are colored with pencils and diecut with Spellbinder's dies.

This card was fun to make because I learned some new tricks! My daughter downloaded some free software so I can change the color of my images/sentiments, layer the images, etc. Coming from a very non-technical person like myself, I must say I was elated when I was able to get all of the elements "just right"! I lined up the cherries, added the cute little smilie face, and added a sentiment. I was even able to position the elements so I could just trim the CS, score a foldline and voila'! I colored one cherry and scored some lines for definition. I like the CAS look of this one.

The last set I'm showing today is called "Ice Cream Sticks". It has a fun variety of images and sentiments, and I was eager to work with it as I am an ice cream lover! I used a sketch from Charisma Cardz for my first card. I paired the image with some fun, summery bright colored DP and colored the ice cream to coordinate.

I used a sketch from the CAS blog for my next card. The image is printed on CS and DP, then cut out and popped up. I added a banner with the sentiment and some Bella Dots.

I did some more paper piecing with my last card. I popped the cone up and elevated the sentiment in the middle. I finished with a couple Bella Dots.
