August card for Monthy card swap

I love monthly card swaps!!! You know the ones where each person takes a turn being the hostess and sends each person enough images and DS paper to create 6 cards and then you send to each person in the group?? Well this month the hostess asked us what our favorite color was and sent DS paper of that color and then the flower image. I couldn't decide what color so I said pink and green and she did perfect, I love the paper she sent!!! The leaf on the stem has a 2nd one one top with a dimensional, can't really tell by the photo.

My New Bella stamp!!!

My friend Kash has a swap on SCS tht is called "For the Love of Stamping" there are no requirements, just make a card!!! Joy fold cards are one of my favorites so here's my card for one of my 2 spots using my brand new Bella stamp!!! Don't you just love those doggies??

Here are my 3 recipes I made for Vicki's (FLScrapHappy on SCS) Tipsy recipe swap. The recipe's all have to have some sort of booze in it. I'm not much of a drinker but I like the flavor they add when cooking!!!

Here's my card I made for Audrey's Girls, Girls, Girls swap. The image is from Penny Black and I paper pieced her dress using a retired DS paper from SU! called Sassy. Same DS paper is used for the back ground. Then I tied red and orange ribbon together for a bit different effect, it seems I always use ribbon the same way so was trying to change it a bit!! I liked the way it turned out and may have to use that idea again!!
