I had originally planned not to do sneak peeks from the Occasions Catalog until after Christmas but well, it is what I have been working on and excited about so I am making an exception for today.   The set is called Feel Goods and it has 5 great sentiments.  I paired it with a new pinwheel sizzlit that is small and really cute.

As you can see the pinwheel is pretty small.   The first few times I put the pinwheel together I felt like my fingers were huge and so clumsy.  It gets easier and here's a little tip.  Use your bone folder and curl the arms of the pinwheel in towards the center.  This will help you fold the arms and secure the brad.  

Stamps: Feel Goods, Sweets for the Sweets, Friendly Phrases
Ink: Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Black stazon
Paper: Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Polka Dot Parade DSP
Big Shot:  Pinwheel Sizzlits die, Perfect Polka Dot folder
Embellishments: Brights Brads, Delicate Details Lace Tape (love this and know I already need more!) 

So, are you wondering where did I use the Sweets for the Sweets set or the Friendly Phrases?

Is it just me or are you happy that there is a pinwheel image in the Sweets for the Sweet set?  There is also a sentiment set called Wishes Your Way in the Occasions Catalog that coordinates with the pinwheel  die.  So much cuteness and coordination-love it!

I have said it before, I just had to clean up my craft table before I did anything else.  This time not only did I end up with a clean desk but I also found a bunch of Stippled Blossoms that were already cut out!  Don't you just love it when you find little things like this?  It is kind of like finding money in a coat pocket that you forgot about.  Here's the quick card I made using those found flowers.

During the clean up  I also found a piece of the Natural Composition Specialty DSP that I had cut out a frame in.  I used the label  framelit from the Apothecary Accents framelits to cut out a frame but never completed the card. Lots of leftover pieces came together to make this card.  So now I have a cleaner desk and a mailable Monday card.   Now that I have that clean table I need to get back to work and get it messy again!
