We are Family

Hello there! It's been a snowy weekend and I've been happy staying inside and catching up on a few things. January is a big month for family birthdays and today that was my focus. A card needs to be in the mail tomorrow, so I got busy!

My husband and I grew up in Maryland and his family spent lots of time on the water. When I saw the Gina K stamps depicting Magnificent Mallards I knew it would really help with those guy cards. The sentiments are specifically geared towards family adding to it's usefulness.

My card is a CAS(E) of Mindy's fabulous card HERE. I was inspired by Jen's sketch at Freshly Made as well. Also entering at NBUS #34 as it's my first time using this set.

That's it for me today! I hope your week is off to a wonderful start.

Be yourself

Have delight in your craft

Make something beautiful!

LOVE Paper Play!

Hello crafty ones, I hope you are finding yourself in the mood for some paper play today. I got some fun papers free with my latest purchase at Honey Bee Stamps and really did enjoy trying out different combinations.

I had no idea they would turn into the card for Jaydee's fabulous sketch this week at The Paper Players!

I thought the polar bear from Laurie's card last week was adorable (you can see it HERE) so you can imagine that I was inspired to use this one featured on the designer paper. Keeping it simple and easy!

The DP also came in handy for the sentiment on the inside. I love the paper hugs theme.

I've been much more into ink blending techniques, but playing with papers has long been a delight since my scrapbooking days so I got quite a kick out of the diversion.

Only stamping needed is an embossed and die cut sentiment and I'm calling it done. ( Pinkfresh Designs - Just a Hello Floral by Emily Midgett.)

I appreciate your visit today, and want to encourage you to check out the work of the talented Paper Players team! Til next time...
