This post is a special thank you to Kim Hughes, Owner of Paper Smooches. Carisa of Inky Fairy Designs and I were the lucky winners of an amazing Paper Smooches Instagram giveaway. Carisa suggested we both do a thank you blog post. What a fantastic idea! Carisa’s wonderful contributions can be viewed here.

My creations are below. We challenged ourselves to use something from each of the products we won. It was a little tricky at first, but I did it. I also added another personal challenge of just going with it and not worry too much. Sometimes I worry too much about being perfect and spend way too much time on creating something. I’m trying to get to a point where it is just natural.

What to do with the fruit set? I automatically saw flowers when I opened the fruit stamp package. So, I went with it and created a flower background. Can you see how I used items from the rest of the sets?

Thanks again, Kim, for the wonderful Instagram winnings. They are greatly appreciated and have been fun to play with!
