Tonight's set was inspired by the cluster of aspen trees that I see from my kitchen window.
I love the way the leaves dance when the wind tickles them :)
I'm always amazed at how something so simple can turn my frown upside down.
I'm always amazed at how something so simple can turn my frown upside down.
I wanted to create a simple set with meaningful sentiments that you could use to send cards of encouragement.
If you need a card for someone who is chasing a dream, or enduring a struggle,
I think these sentiments can do it all.

Introducing... CALM AND GENTLE
Christina MacLaren
I love text and I just adore how Christina used these 2 simple sentiments to create her own text strip!
The colors are just fabulous and the simple addition of the gems make this into a stunning card!
Love that Angie gave her trees a shape and changed the size with just a punch!!
How sweet are those buttons?! Pure delight!
Julie Ranae
So pretty how she stamped off the tree trunks to add a shadowy effect.
Love the wonderful fall inspired color palette!
The blues go perfectly with the sentiment :)
Karen Baker
Karen has created pure magic with this.
Stamping those trees over that delicious pattern paper gives them such a dreamy quality!
Lynn Mangan
Color blocked perfection!
I just love the trees stamped in white!
How easy it would be to create this card for any season just by changing the block colors!
So what do you think so far??
One of you lucky ducks is going to win this set!

What lovely sentiments, a set for those "really hard to find words" occasions
Love the trees and the sentiments.
The sentiments are fabulous :) Is the next one... spunky and sassy?
Oh this set looks great, love the tree.
All the cards are, so beautiful! And "calm and gentle", is sometimes the way to go! Such a lovely set :)
Beautiful designs Michele! Those trees are so pretty and versatile too!
Ooh, I like those trees, and the sentiments look really useful!
What a wonderful set. Those trees are so sweet.
I 'liked' you on Facebook.
Such pretty cards!
I have liked you on Facebook
I liked you on Facebook
As much as I'm a goofball kind of girl, I think this is my favorite set of all so far, Michele! Sadly (maybe because I and a lot of my friends are getting older), I have a need for these messages all too often and I love how you've designed yours.
The sentiments look great, and I'm loving the simple tree!
I'm a FB fan! ;o)
Aww, such heart felt sentiments, really love them :) and such innovative DT cards.. Wow :))
Super glad to like you on facebook too :)
This is super... these sentiments are not generally available in all sets...
I absolutely can not choose my favorite. I am a Colorado girl and aspens have always been my favorite. Add these lovely sentiments in that gorgeous font and I am totally sold! I am not going to be able to pick just one set for sure. Eek!
I liked the new page on Facebook earlier! :)
Love todays sample again, and I LOVE that font--awesome.
I liked your new FB page!
Michele, I love the font in those beautiful sentiments! I can see myself using that tree stamp over and over again for so many occasions! Gorgeous cards today! :)

OK, I'll come right out and say it. I would LOVE to win this set. It is so gorgeous - those tree trunks with the leaves. The sentiment font. Oh oh oh, lovely.
As for the next set, hmmm. Trendy? Then I'd say fashion or safari. Or are we sticking to basics then I'd go with design/pattern stamps.
I have no idea, can u tell?!?!?

Awesome sample cards. Your stamp sets look like winners!!
I don't think it's possible to have too many sentiment sets, and this one looks like it fills some gaps! The cards are lovely.
Love the tree and sentiment! All cards looks great!
Words of encouragement are in definite need as "Get Well" isn't always appropriate, especially with so many terminal illnesses. This set looks like a real winner (as do all the rest I've seen). Looking forward to seeing more as those aspens are so calming!
Such pretty cards! I like that sentiment "you got this!"
Lovely sentiments and fabulous tree on your cards.
