Well, the time has come that you can start shopping for this month's My Favorite Things products. We are all sharing something using new products... I have some fun things for you!

This card was created for someone very special. She has done so much for so many and it was neat to think of her while I was creating it. I used the new Flower Medley Die-namics and Die-namics Royal Leaves for the focal point.

*sigh* for some reason this just makes me happy. I inked the edges with white ink. The Jumbo Fishtail Banner STAX die cut was stamped with Distressed Diamonds.

Anything pink on the card was also stamped with diamonds.

I love this new Die-namics High Rise Alphabet. I might just have to lock it away... I want to use the dies on everything!

The inside has a smaller Jumbo Fishtail with diamonds and an oval that has been stamped and die cut. I almost put a flower inside too but I don't like the insides to be bulky... and it didn't coordinate well without the crystal in the center.

Next is a little felt treat bag that I created...

I had a blast creating this little treat holder and am SO excited to have it in my stash of decorations. Yep... I made this for my girls! I plan on having little treats hanging on the door for a few days before Halloween to "get them in the mood". (Like they need it! LOL!)

I, once again, used that awesome new alphabet and Jumbo Fishtail STAX. I stitched the front one, added the ribbon handle then glue it together. It took me a little while to figure out "my" perfect length. I think it will be personal for each person who makes it though.

I used the Primitive Pumpkins Trio Die-namics for the pumpkins. I stitched everything with Honeydew Bakers twine.

Here it is hanging on my front door.

Whatcha think? Do you think they will mind coming home to some treats? :)

Lastly is a card that look a while to make just because I was translating it from an inspiration photo in my pinterest and didn't want to duplicate the project but show where the inspiration led me.

Sometimes a photo doesn't do a project justice. I might try to shoot another one in morning light tomorrow. This card is so vibrant yet soft in person. Here are some detail photos... since it's hard to get close with a business size card. I stamped the letter with Distressed Diamonds with this card too.

The happy is from the new Spider Web sentiments stamp set. (Gotta be honest... I cut the sentiment... *gasp*)

Little accent star with the "O" line pumpkin from Primitive Pumpkins.

I wanted to show the star cluster too. You may have also noticed the decorative scoring I put onto the card front.

Here is the inside of the card...

Another die cut and stamped line pumpkin with the medium diamond strip from Distressed Diamonds.

Well, that wraps up my projects for this release. I hope that you have been inspired in some way by something that I've created. Thank you for all of your comments this past week!
