I had so much fun creating a card for today's previews. I have been totally inspired by all of the die layering that Amy has been doing lately, and I knew that today was the day for me to pull out the dies and play! My last several posts have been very clean and simple, but those of you who have been reading my blog for a while know that I definitely subscribe to the More is More theory when it comes to layers, colors, and bling. Here's what I came up with:

 Overload? I know!! I love it! *grin* First of all, I am LOVING the Notebook Paper Plain Jane...that one is stamped in Versamark on Kraft and embossed with white embossing powder. Happy sigh. Then, let's talk about the new Words of Wisdom set. The sentiments are so amazing and encouraging...I love it!! This one in particular stood out to me, as it reminds me of something my mom says all the time: "Don't Limit God!"

 I threw in a few large and small Leafy Sprigs from the new die set and stamped them with the corresponding stamps from Sunny Days. I also used the Jotted Heart and Charming Oval dies, and I even snuck in a couple from something you'll see later in the week. *wink* The doily and seam binding were in my stash and I loved the fun they added to this card as well as the bling from the Diamond Stickles.

Well, it's time for me to say goodbye for now...don't forget to stop by and see Betty...I'm sure she has something drool-worthy for you! Have a fabulous day!
