You're Berry Sweet

Don't you love lazy Saturday mornings? It's a bit cool here in western PA for late June, but I'm not complaining! The hot, humid days of July and August are right around the corner.

I've been busy making thank you's and have been loving the Fruit Fusion: Berry from PTI. I love strawberries and always have. When I was really little, my mom would send me to the garden with a colander to pick strawberries. I'd come back with 3 or 4 and a red stained mouth.

Recently, a recipe for strawberry pie came across my Google Reader. Can't wait to give it a try. At least enjoying these cards results in 0 calories!

The first card is fairly self explanatory. I really like the double banners die from PTI. I got the coordinating stamp set but haven't inked it up yet. Soon hopefully :)

This next card has a bit of an Oops...even though you wouldn't realize it at all. I wanted to go for a letterpress look, so I inked up my impression plate from PTI. I didn't get much of an impression because I totally forgot to place my embossing pad in the Big Shot. Oh well it did give me a nice polka dot background & didn't damage the impression plate.
