First up is my card with Follow Your Dreams. I went a bit shabby chic with my cards today. It's funny, I really have to force myself to sponge my cards. My sponging is so tiny compared to real shabby chic card makers! I even busted out the sewing machine on this one.
Next up is a card using Branching Out. I love the versatility of this set. I used this week's Stamp TV sketch challenge for this card. Yeah, I just have a thing for circle cards!
For even more samples of these new sets, you can visit each of the GKD Design Team blogs listed below, and make sure you leave a comment on each of the blogs because we're giving away some stamps!

Hi Michelle, you've shown me how easy it is to do a shabby chic card. These are the cards that I have the most trouble with, but your Crane card looks so simple but so elegant I will have to try it with what I have. Thank-you.
