The first stamp set I will show you is called Charlie Lean on Me. This set is so much fun, and who doesn't love Charlie?! My first card was a challenge to come up with a card that was not a traditional shape. Originally it was supposed to look like a barrel, but I'm not so sure it ended up that way. {lol} I cannot draw freehand to save my life, so my barrel looks a bit like a can. You get the idea, right?! I think it turned out okay, and regardless, it was super fun to make!

My next samples are for a set that is so extremely versatile called Sassy Scallops. If you love your Nesties like I know you do, you'll have to have this set! These little stamps add just the right extra touch. My first sample was super fun to make with a couple of new Nesties. Yes, I know, I've gotten a lot of these lately. I just can't help it! Clear Dollar has such a great selection of them! I decided to use the dots stamp, because it went so well with my DP, and the cake on the Biggest Wishes stamp set that released this last month.

This next sample I thought would make a great gift for my father-in-law. He loves to plant new things and track how they are doing from year to year, so I made a gardening journal. I combined the leaf from Sassy Scallops with Charlie Gardens, which was a new release from this last month. I made this with my Bind-it-all! I love this thing. It gives me soooo many gifting options, and yes you guessed it, you can get it at Clear Dollar Stamps!

For my last samples I get to show you Motorcycle Mania, this really amazing motorcycle set! I was so thrilled to get this set, because a lot of important people in my life ride motorcycles so gift ideas flooded my mind.
Before I met my husband, I had planned to buy my dad's Harley and change the paint color. I envisioned that Sportster looking like this with an adorable pink color. Luckily for my dad, I met my man and plans for that money changed. Regardless, I can see my best friend, Christi, riding something like this ;D

The next sample was an inspiration challenge. It was an all black and white comforter, and this is what came to mind for me.

My last sample was combined with a new stamp called Happy Father's Day. This was so fun for me, because I made it look just like my dad's current bike. I think he'll love it and be very surprised.
