Getting ready for Southern California's Mimi Yummy and Delicious

For my monthly gathering with my crafting friends we are working on calendar pages.  This is the calendar page I designed for the month of August.  We had fun with the "Hello Scoop" stamp set and always fabulous Journey sequins.  The best thing about this stamp set is that the ice cream scoops are outlines. This means that you can then stamp them on any patterned paper or color them in based on your preference.  I did a bit of each with this page.  The pink scoops are patterned paper and the purple and green are colored directly on the page.  
I absolutely love the greeting also because, well, it's true!


The next picture is of my favorite new product from the Yummy and Delicious line. 
They come in five colors and three sizes.  The smallest size, it turns out, fit perfectly inside the gumballs from the "Candy Shop" stamp set. 

I created the following card as I was playing with my Yummy and Delicious product.  I really wanted to use my candy dots, and this was the perfect way!  I place the greeting and swirl stamps on the same block with the gumball machine so that I could stamp all three images at once.  I then stamped the gumball machine a second time on bubblegum paper and cut out the bottom half to add some color with paper piecing.  I used the re-inkers and blender brush to color the rest of the gumballs in with matching colors.  
It's a pretty simple card, but I think it is super cute!
