Cherrypalooza!!

Don't you love the way Rainier cherries look?

I love all things cherry - dried tart cherries, fresh cherries, maraschino cherries, cherry vanilla ice cream, cherry cough drops... I could go WAY Forrest Gump on cherries!!

Did you know that cherries have anti-inflammatory properties? Also, despite the fact that Turkey appears to be the world's largest cherry producer, Travers City, MI proclaims itself the Cherry Capital of the World and produces the world's largest cherry pie.You own it, Michigan!!

So I have some Rainier cherries for you today with more sneak peek goodies. I used the Border Lace Punch, the new Pennant Punch, the new colors - Pool Party, Lucky Limeade and Calypso Coral and a blender pen. The stamps are Cherish Friendship, Pennant Parade and Fabulous Phrases. The paper is Crumb Cake, Just Add Cake DSP, Whisper White and Lucky Limeade. I punched the little pennants out after I stamped them and just made them all shark toothy.


Sweet, eh? With the right stamps, life is just a bowl of cherries!!

Loveyameanitbye.

  1. That is one delicious looking card, although I'm partial to bing cherries myself. Looking forward to some yummy Michigan cherries next month when we get out there. One small point of picky-ness - it is Traverse City, with an e on the end.

  2. As a former Michigander/Michiganian (they never did decide, I don't think), YAY FOR CHERRIES! If you are ever looking for cherry PITS to make those microwave thingies, they sell those, too. Online. I know these things.

    So tell me, does the triple-punch shape flower fit onto that lace border? Inquiring minds want to know. I could figure it out myself next week when my own lace punch arrives, but I thought I'd ask.

    And I love the shark teef! I just might need to get this punch after all!

  4. Okay, I'm so stoked that you gave a shout out to Traverse City which is where I was born! There is a cherry festival every year around July 4th, and my sister was the cherry Princess once.
    My favorite cherry treat (besides bowls-full of cherries) is chocolate covered dried cherries (I know, right!) and chocolate cherry scones.
    Love the cherries on your card, held off on getting this set till end of the quarter. Trying to save for Convention!
