Hello and happy hopping to you!!! If you just arrived here from Emma's Blog then you're in the right spot...if not head HERE to start at the beginning. Today I am showcasing the awesome new set called Small Talk. I LOVE this set!!! In fact, I got a little obsessed and made a bunch of cards :)
This first one is just a simple one layer card...I ♥ the designs that can be made simply by randomly stamping the square.

For this one I white heat embossed and went over it with distress inks in tumbled glass, broken china, and chipped sapphire.

A different look by strategic stamping. ;)

Here's a Halloween themed card. The spider is from the All Around Halloween set.
The house and the sentiment on this one are from the Home Sewn set. Okie dokie, that's it for my along this hop...hope you're having FUN!!!

  102. Nikki,
    You amaze me at how you look at things differently. I love the square stamp and I would have done it just like it was made for. Yet you look at something and always seem to see how it can be more than just what it was for. God has truly blessed you with an amazing talent.
