Pineapples!...Just Us Girls Challenge #364~Trend Week: Pineapples

Hello!

Mid-September, I finally received my long-awaited Hero Arts Layering Pineapple stamps...and at the end of September, the accompanying dies arrived. At that point, I decided that with Fall's strong presence, my little gems would need to wait for Spring before they had a come-out-to-play opportunity. Or so I thought! Imagine my delight when I spotted the wonderful Just Us Girls Challenge #364~Trend Week: Pineapples
Timing? Perfect!!!

Since I'd been waiting for these images soooooo long, just about everyone got an inking, a stamping and a die-cutting!   Too much fun! 





I wonder if I can come up with a Christmas-themed pineapple card...I'm not quite ready to put these away!


Thank you for spending part of your day with me; your visit brings me joy!
