3x3 Notes

Hi there!  Do you know what day it is?  It's hump DAY!  Isn't it crazy how commercials become a part of our conversations?  I don't even know what the commercial is selling - just that there's a camel in an office area.  Enough silliness.  Time for a "little" card.  I make 3x3 notecards that get included in each customer's order bag.  They are sometimes more anxious to see the little card than their order.  Too funny - but it makes me feel good to know that they enjoy them!  Anywho......these were the December order notecards.  The hearts, stamped with Gold Encore ink, are from the Stampin' Up! Hearts a Flutter stamp set and coordinating Framelits.  A gold Bakers Twine bow (new item in the Occasions Catalog. It comes in silver, too!) dresses it up a bit.  The background was done with one of the images from Gorgeous Grunge in gold ink.  A Hostess set in the 2013-14 Annual Catalog called Express Yourself was used for the sentiment.

Sorry for the quick post but I have a ton of things to do before leaving in the morning for some stamping time with my peeps.  Can't wait!  Thanks for checking in today!

Gently Falling Accents

Hi there!  Today is the last day of our cooler temperatures.  We're supposed to be back up in the 80's tomorrow, according to the forecast.  We shall see.  lol

Over the weekend I challenged myself to use up some of the ever-growing bits and pieces accumulated from previous projects.  I was using scraps stamped with the Gently Falling set.  Today's version is also a square focal piece, but placed on point.  The Cajun Craze leaf was cut from the Autumn Accents die.  (Still have a whole bag of those in various colors!)  A decorative strip (from the Dotted Scallop Ribbon border punch) was added, along with a sentiment from Express Yourself on a piece from the Word Window punch and mat from the Modern Label punch.  The card base was spritzed to match the stamped leaves panel and square. 

Must finish preparing for a Workshop this Saturday.  Later I'll have dinner with our granddaughter, then go to Mary Taylor's Club meeting.  Marla Schack and I are filling in for Mary while she's recuperating from surgery. 

That's it for today.  Thank you for visiting today!
