Hello again!
Aren't you shocked, a few days in a row now, what's up with that! Well I am actually trying to make my blog more active and hopefully you will be inspired and keep coming back!
As the title of today states, "Paisley Prints, oh please..." ... well that is exactly what I thought when I saw that we were receiving this stamp set at convention along with it's coordinating Stampin Around wheel. Well at first we couldn't figure out where the set was, because it wasn't in the new catalog... so we had to wait until the preview period for the Holiday Mini opened up, so that we could actually see the images from this set.
We went off to convention and received the set in our goodie bag at convention, made a couple of make-n-takes with it and was like, okay, might have potential but not overly thrilled just yet. And as typically happens, it comes alive the more you see it, the more ideas or color schemes, different uses or layouts, etc. Sometimes you just fall in love (like French Foliage yesterday) and sometimes you need time to let that love develop.
Well, sit back, grab a coffee or tea (or diet coke... oh can you believe I am already almost 8 months Diet Coke free! who really thought I could be stopped?) or water .... and enjoy the view!

Well I don't know about you but I love that this set can be so versatile and it functions so well as simple and monochromatic - look at the crisp clear image of the paisleys in the print; and it roughs up nicely with a bit of rock-n-rolling to get a soft multi color image mixed with distressing - just gorgeous; and the images are perfect for fitting in punches or easy enough to hand trim out! I just can't pick a favorite card!
But now I am saying "Oh PLEASE, Paisley Prints" ... and yep, I am a fan and it's a must have set!
Thanks for coming by and check back tomorrow to see what I have for you!
Hugs,
Rhonda
