Happy Monday!

Hi friends...today I had the day off work after a very long week last week it was so nice to catch up on a few things around the house and have some much needed down time...

Going through some of my photos on my computer tonight whilst sitting here watching a Catherine Cookson movie and came across a card that I thought I would share with you all.

100_6010


I used all Papertrey ink products to create this card...Taking a trimmed piece of Spring Moss card stock and running it through my Cuttlebug embossing it with the Picnic Plaid Impression Plate, adhering this to a trimmed white card. Next, staying with the Cuttlebug and more white card stock, I ran a piece through, cutting a doily die from the Parisian Lace die, I also cut another die, this time using the Button Card Die, I stamped the corresponding stamp from the Button Boutique stamp set onto the card stock, inking the stamp with Jenni Bowlin, Brown Sugar ink, I added some brown buttons to match and adhered this to the doily. To finish the card I added a sentiment from the Signature Greetings stamp set.

To let you all know there is still time to enter the POD giveaway, just click the link in the side bar of my blog to see the details on how you can win some awesome stamps.

Okay the movie is getting really interesting now, so time to sign off...

But before I do leave you all, I just want to send out my dearest thanks to you all for all of your wonderful comments here on my blog, I look forward to reading these comments everyday, so thank you all so, so much...

Have a wonderful night..

Hugs

Love this card! I didn't think I needed that doily die but you work it so well on a pretty CAS design that I think I may need it now! Thanks for enabling me LOL!
