goshery embellishment set No. 2

This fun new embellishment set was just listed in my Etsy shop!  I used both new and vintage materials to make this set; you can get more details here. 

I had so much fun making this set.  I bought some vintage sheet music, both individual sheets and a few books and I've had a hard time actually using it . . . kind of like writing in a book which is something I can't do.  I finally decided to use the sheet music and loved working with it.  I also had fun looking through my Cricut cartridges for some new items to cut out and was surprised to see that I have an apple shape!  Who knew!

I made this set specifically for the Sketchy Thursday giveaway challenge which I'm sponsoring this week.  If you would like to try to win this set just visit the Sketchy Thursday blog here and find out what you need to do (you'll have to wait for Thursday as the name implies!).

Also new for December is the offer for a free set of gift tags with all purchases from goshery.  I made a cute Christmas set with fun muted colors, but because the colors are so soft the set doesn't photograph well at all!  It's hard to sell something that you can't see, so instead I'm giving them away to December customers.

I just finished a set of embellishments and posted them in my shop. The set was really fun to make - I have a Cricut Expression and I don't feel like I'm using it enough so my goal was to play around with it and see what I could make.

I love the variety of flowers that I can cut on my Cricut and tried a few different ones for this set. The little ones are my favorite!

Quote bubbles are always fun to use for journaling and I love the shape of the ones that came with my Cricut.

Arrows are popular with scrapbookers and I have are three different styles of arrows (I only used two in this set).

Hearts and stars are always handy to have on had as they go with any theme so I included a few of those in this set. The really fun thing about these hearts and stars is that I used my VersaMark to stamp images on them - if you haven't used it before it's definitely something you should try! It turns the stamped image a darker shade of the paper you are stamping on and I think it's a really fun look.

Since the colors of this set are muted it would be easy to use with almost any project!

I have an idea for another mini album so I'm going to work on that next. I also need to make a bunch of cards so there's lots of crafting in my future!
