Shopping......

Pretty sure July is a pricey month for my craft room between sales, new releases, and all the Christmas in July videos show casing items...... but there is no local store for me to shop at so sales and new releases it is..... this first arrival this week is from ScrapDivaDesigns from her new July release. I bought her "Butterfly Mini Album" die set which has a smaller and much larger butterfly die set:

On the right of that in the photo is her large Gift Pouch treat holder. I have seen lots of projects made with both of these die sets and I am looking forward to making some items up for future projects in my craft room as well... LOVE her dies and the designs she offers... My most favorite butterfly die set is the last butterfly die set I bought from her and made the layered butterflies using the acetate sheets from Mikes:


Love the size and the shape of that butterfly as well as the details the die embossed on the butterfly wings. This new butterfly die set has cut out areas on the wings with itty bitty hearts on the edges of the wings..... Anna from Serenity Creations on YouTube made a beautiful project using the larger butterfly in this new set and the details are really nice..... Love it!

Next I ordered the "Sweet Treats Goodie Bag" die set from Divinity Designs for treat holders for the holidays ahead..... Here is a photo of that die set:


Looking forward to making up treat holders with that die set - also in with my order was a free gift from them:


Very nice to get a greenery die in a scroll shape - can use it as one piece or even cut it apart for placement on projects. A nice surprise and a usable die -- how many "thank you" dies over the years have we all received as free gifts??? Happy to get this surprise gift..... key to this whole expensive July thing is to skip videos.... But after all it is Christmas in July..... or maybe skip new releases..... but that won't work either..... oh well..... fun projects ahead!!!
