I’m wrapping up my final day in Texas. Jeanne and I have decided to have one of those no running, loll around days. We’ve been on the run for three solid weeks now and I have to tell y’all that I’m one tired little puppy! I have so enjoyed my visit with Jeanne, both in Louisville and in Texas and as long as she’ll let me come back, I’m here. I have been able to get together with so many friends and each and every one of them has made this trip so special. As Jenn would say, Good Times!

Enough of my sentimental sappy ramblings, let’s get to some stamping before I cry. My Favorite Things is releasing 3 new sets on November 1st, and I have one to show you today. This set is called Build a Bouquet, but I stamped out a card with a little twist. Actually, I have been calling this my fuzzy ball tree since I first started working on it. If you want to get technical about it, I suppose it is actually a Christmas Topiary, but I so love saying fuzzy ball tree.

There are 4 different sizes of circles in the set but I worked with only 3 of them. I stamped the circles in VersaMagic Chalk Inks and then over stamped with a smaller flower in the set using different colors of green. The tree trunk is made with one of the flower stems from the set and the pot is just that, a flower pot. To finish the image off, I added little dots of Red Stickles. The background paper is BasicGrey Dasher that I found at Jacksonbelle Embellishments.
