We are rounding out this HOT HOT July month with TWO cool winter themed Perfect Pairs to choose from!  Oh how I long for cooler days.  I'm so over the 95 and up heat that has hit us this entire month of July.  I got in my car to go home the other night and it was 90 degrees at 9:00 PM!  Enough of the heat - let me tell you about our LAST TWO Perfect Pairs you can choose from when you place a $75 order on my website! First we have Wonderland.   So pretty! I can almost feel the winter snow... Ok, not really but wishful thinking doesn't hurt.  This Perfect Pair is the Wonderland Level 2 Paper and the Wonderland Stickease assortment.  On the back of the stickease are different layout suggestions which are great if you have trouble deciding how to get started. Here are a few of my favorite cards I created with this paper. Details Details                             ...

ooohhh!!! Such pretty paper!   Yes, once again, it's another favorite of mine.   Today's Perfect Pair is Sophia .   Check out this card I made using this paper pack and July's Stamp of the Month - Live Out Loud The phrase "SOAR" with the fluttering butterflies was perfect for this paper.  I added some additional butterflies that I cut with my Art Philosophy cricut cartridge.   I cut them at 1" and 3/4" and layered then added a Pearl adhesive gem.  Beautiful!

Time for a new Perfect Pair!  Today it is Mayberry! Another one of my favorite paper packs.  But wait....

Look at this card I created with Mayberry and July's Stamp of the Month - Live Out Loud.   Yes.... I LOVE this paper all over again! I cut the flowers from B&T papers using my Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge.  I added Mocha Opaque Adhesive gems to the centers.

When I starting looking for my Lucky paper to make a card for the Perfect Pair special, I had a hard time finding it!   That's because I used nearly every scrap I had from this pack.   I got my very first glimpse of this paper before it was released to the public when I went on the Close To My Heart Spa retreat.   This paper is perfect for fall and masculine projects!
