P.S. Just wanted to let you all know that my 'Shipping Department' is back in full swing! I've been in charge of the shipping since my Mom was away for a few days, so now everything will be back to normal again!;)  While she was gone I surprised her with a new laptop! I think her computer was 10 years old & it ran SOOOOOO SLOW, I seriously don't know how she could've did all my shipping working under those conditions!! LOL...... So now, she has a brand new "Lightning speed" laptop!;)

My Creative Time's July Release Sneaky Peek #3! ~ Episode 216

Hello my Creative Friends & welcome to another SUPER FUN & CUTE sneaky peek!!! OMG! I just LOVE this set and I think it's because I actually get to showcase my own drawings!!! YEP, I did them all by my little self!;) hehehehe! (my son used to say that!) This one is called "All Around Halloween"! This set, as well as our other set we will be featuring tomorrow has a "coordinating" set of "2" dies (SOLD SEPARATELY) that go perfectly w/these "round" sentiments! I am SOOO EXCITED so let's get started! These are the 3 items I made & I show you in my video!

I just LOVE purple & I just LOVE how my little treat pail turned out! A SUPER SIMPLE gift that would put a smile on anyone's face! In my video I show you how I cut out that "soft leather" scallop using my NEW die!;)

This is just a SUPER SIMPLE card I made using one of the sentiments from this set! The cute little pumpkin was cut out @ 1 1/4" (real dial size) from the "Pumpin Carving" solution cartridge! That ADORABLE face is from Peachy Keen & it's from the "Make a Monster Face Asst"! AND that super cute "Embossed Circle Stitch" that is framing my pumpkin so perfectly will also be available during my release on Friday as well~!;)

Here is another card, same concept as the one above it! Peachy Face used for this one is from the "Snow Cutie Face Asst"! Sentiment is from this new release called "All Around Halloween"!

Here is my video showcasing some COOL dies and my new stamps!;)

Now onto my FABULOUS design team who NEVER disappoints! I am BLESSED to have such a SWEET & TALENTED team of ladies!;) Click on each one of their names to take you back to each of their blogs so you can leave them some love~!!;)
