So Much Love

 

Loving this card that I CASED from the mini catalog with a few alterations.  Like the DSP in the background.  I couldn't tell how old that paper is...all I know is that is from the Candy Lane collection.  Yes, I am a paper hoarder and I still have some paper from 2002.  I do try to use it up, but it so pretty and what if I need it for a special card???  Like this!!!  I am trying not to buy too much paper right now so that I will use what I have.  I forgot when I packed up to move how much paper I had.  I got rid of a bunch of it, but it seems like I still have a lot left.  Now that I am back to making cards, I will hopefully start using it up more.  

I made this card using the Love For You stamp set and dies.  This set has so many sentiments that I know I will use for a long time to come.  Secretly I hope this makes it into the yearly catalog...fingers crossed.

A little peek...

 

Though the title was fitting for this little gnome peeking out of the tree trunk.   This card features the Kindest Gnomes (that just retired last week, but don't let that get you down as there is a new one available) along with the Gnomes Die set, and the Tree Rings Die and Embossing Folder.  CASE'd this idea from Rachel Tessman and added the inside tree rings and the little berries and leaves to top mine off.

It's been a while...

 Well, life has had a few surprises over the past few years and I took a break from stamping for a while, but...I am back!  May be a hit and miss as I get back into the groove of things again, but I will try my best to start posting on a regular bases.  Not sure what that will be to start off with weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, but this is a start.  Never mind what it took to get back into this blog to restart posting again, it's been a journey in itself!  LOL  

Wait till you see all the cool stamp sets that have come out along with new techniques!!!  I can't tell you how much I've missed playing with paper and ink!  I do have to relearn how to upload pictures on here again, but hopefully it won't take long to figure out...should be like riding a bike right?  Let's hope so...

Check back in soon to see what I've been working on for my own personal fun time and my new classes that are starting up later this month...
