Happy Sunday and a Very Happy Father's Day

to all the dad's out there.

It's a reflective day for me as I lost my dad 12 years ago.

There's not a day that goes by when I don't think of him

and I miss him terribly.

I am happy to have Paul's dad to share Father's Day with

and we look forward to seeing him a little later today.

Today is also a special day because I have a few posts that

I will be sharing with you as part of

In fact . . . there will be a special giveaway at the end of this post,

so make sure you keep reading.

For now, it's time for me to share with you that it's

Day One of the New Release Previews

over at

This is one of my very favorite teams I serve on

because the variety of stamp images that are offered

are simply amazing.

We are happy to welcome our June Guest Designers

Larissa Heskett & Gayatri Murali.

I know you will enjoy the design-work of each

of these talented ladies.

Today, we share a 'peek' at the fabby new set designed by

my dear friend & teammate, Karen Baker

called 'God's Blessing'

I decided to try my hand at my first rolled rose.  Yep.  My first.

Rather than create one from scratch, I was happy to use the die from

My Little Shoebox and I really like the effect.  This one is actually one

small one nestled in a larger one.  The center is a hand-made brad

using the Epiphany brad maker.

The stamped images from the new stamp set are simply beautiful.

I love the scroll because it's a great accent piece for any type

of project.  I stamped it twice here.

I love what simple gems will add to a card, too.

These are leaves from Want2Scrap.

Make sure you pop by

from all of the designers.
