WPlus9 June 2012 Group Post

Hey there, everyone!!  So- did you love the big WPlus9 reveal yesterday?  If you missed it, check it out on Dawn's Reveal Blog Post.  Tonight's group post means two things...the stamps and dies will be available for purchase at the WPlus9 Online Shop!!  And, it means we get to see what each designer does again with her release product.  This is my FAVE part of the week, because I love to see what each designer chooses to use, and with what.

I focused on berry themed stamp sets again, because right now they are my absolute FAVORITES!!  As you will see...I am a little obsessed with the raspberries.  I totally meant to reach for the strawberries this time around, because I used the raspberries on both of my previous posts...but my brain just couldn't do it, apparently!  Tee hee!  So, I embraced my inner raspberry love, and went with it!  Here is what I created for tonight:
