Today I bring you a few cards made with Nina Brackett’s Lovely Shelf.   If you were at the Release Party, you’ve seen these before, but with it being so close to Christmas - stamping time just doesn’t always come into the mix!

Be sure to stop by the other Design Team blogs linked at the bottom of this post - there is also a chance to win this set (or any other set by Nina Brackett)!

This first card is a simple one.  I laughed when I saw the one on Carolyn King’s blog during the release week - we had the exact same idea!

And I do so love ivory and black together - such an elegant look….those pearls were a total pain to put on individually, but I love how it turned out!
