August Waltzingmouse SOAP - Day 1 - A Monogramed Pillow + Gracie

Welcome to Day 1 of the WMS DT August Stamp of Approval Parade (SOAP)! 

For the next 3 days the DT will be sharing with you more ways to use the July Release stamps - Cameo to Go, Cameo Creations, Ovals Classics Frames, Big Day Essentials, Big Day Additions, Eat Cake, You're Lovely, and Flourishes- Scallops and Dots and on August 4th we'll be highlighting an older stamp set Afternoon Tea!

Today I'm parading Cameo to Go

I was looking through the Serena and Lily Summer catalogue and came upon this pretty bed set.

It immediately reminded me of the pretty oval frames in the Cameo to Go Set.

I also used a background stamp from Pic-Nic Patterns and the A is from Victorian Alphabet.  I added some tiny green twinkles around the frame.  The lacey edge is cut with a Lacey Square Nestability.

Claire has surprised us by releasing 2 wonderful Halloween sets today (Claire LOVES Halloween and she just couldn't wait until the September release!)  - if you've been following her blog you have seen the wonderful creations she has made with them over the past week. 

Today I also have a card using the new stamp sets -  this little witch and the wonderful sentiment are from the Gracie at Halloween set -  the moon is from the Cecily at Halloween set.

The sentiment says "When all the world is sleeping and the moon is riding high, If you peep between the curtains you'll see witches flying by."  So I framed Gracie as if we were peeping between the curtains!
I hope you'll continue viewing the parade on these Design Team members blogs and please stop by tomorrow for Day 2 of our parade!!   And hurry over to the WMS Store to order your Halloween sets!
