This super cute card is from Studio606Sassafras. 

I love how she used the sun and popped it up as an embellishment.

and... YOUR CHOICE OF ONE OF THESE...

You're reading it RIGHT! We have THREE BRAND SPANKIN NEW scrapbooking and card friendly releases designed by our own Lisa Hetrick up for Pre-Sale today! They will be shipping on or before June 12th. GO HERE TO PRE-ORDER!

Strike-a-Pose Set Design Fun Facts: This kit was designed with the concept of an old skool viewfinder and/or movie reel with an interactive twist. The viewfinder image is large, the type fits inside each image cell and there are buildable elements. It can also be used as a game spinner. The “cell” elements inside the circle can be cut-out to reveal pics, words, etc. The AvocadoType words fit into the mini banner element and can be “pinned” on the viewfinder as a buildable element. We are planning some movie themed add-ons to this kit in the future.

Say It! Pennant Style Fun Facts: This kit utilizes the banner/pennant concept for journaling and page building. There are builder elements provided to create with: a journal block within the pennant, journal word prompts, scallop, star and flower image builders and a whimsical rope to tie it all together.

AvocadoType Fun Facts: This letter type set has been exclusively designed by Lisa for Avocado Arts. The style shown here is all lower-case, provided in two size options. There is a coordinating number set, mini banner image for word building, hearts and flower builders for embellishments or to “dot” the “i’s, “j’s”, etc. When the larger and smaller size type are mixed together it creates a “faux” upper and lower case (see words in Strike-a-Pose and the Say It! Pennant Style). The serif lines on the b’s, d’s, g’s, j’s, p’s, q’s and y’s are long and allow for building the small stamp elements into them. 

Here's a little project inspiration using elements from all three of the NEW KITS.

Check out the detailed shot using the Strike-a-Pose set. You can make your own interactive spinner, viewfinder or movie reel style image. The sentiments included in the set fit perfectly in the openings.

 

Fun Facts about the layout. See below. Each set is so versatile, giving you countless options for scrapbooking. And... the images work very well on cards and other projects, too.
