Where is the time going???

Wowzers...is it really July 24th already?  Time sure flies in the summer, doesn't it?  Just a small post here to update you with what fresh. by jess has been up to lately :)


With summer here, that means the new release of the Fall/Winter 2012 Close to My Heart Idea Book and Catalogue.  It is AMAZING!  I can't wait to dive in and start creating with 2 of my favorite paper packs - Avonlea and La Belle Vie. 


As much as people don't want to hear the word "Christmas" this time of year, I can't help but drift my mind over to designing Christmas Cards already!  I have so many cute ideas forming and I can't wait to start making some of them.

Here is a snapshot of what I have been working on lately....I've been in a "western" themed state of mind :)  The western stamps are from an amazing company called "Waltzingmouse Stamps".  I just love them!  I've also started doing some "vintage" style cards (which is difficult for me because it is wayyyy outside my comfort zone!).   Hope you enjoy!!  Have a wonderful day!
