Freshly Made Amore

In my efforts to be better about my "using what we have before we buy more" motto, I've been digging out some of my older, neglected stamp sets and DSP.  With all of the fun I've been having with the new Spring Catalog products, I've kind of forgotten about all of the other great stuff I have..like the Twitterpated DSP.  I forgot just how pretty this paper is and just how perfect it is for Valentine, Wedding or Anniversary cards....so soft and subtle.  I used the current sketch design from Freshly Made Sketches to help this card come together.

Supplies Used ~

Paper ~ Basic Gray, Whisper White, Twitterpated DSP

Ink ~ Pink Pirouette, Basic Gray

Stamp Sets ~ Artistic Etchings, En Francais

Other Supplies ~ Builder Brads

So simple and pretty.

Don't forget to check back tomorrow for the Stylin' Stampin' Squad Blog Hop!!  Lots of great creations in store for you!

Happy Stamping!

Fall Romance

Good morning friends and Happy Monday!  It's a cold and rainy day here.  Wishing I had the day off from work to just hang with my kiddos, especially since one of them woke up not feeling well.  At least I still get to be home with them and it should be a quiet day at work, so all is good :)  I did have a little extra stamping time this morning since I didn't have to get the big boys up and ready for school...yay!

I promised myself I would make a few more fall projects before I got all crazy with Christmas stuff.  So this week, I am going to do my best to get a few fall projects created.  The color challenge over at Fab Friday is full of warm fall colors...love them!  And this mornings Mojo Monday sketch totally got my creativity flowing.

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Midnight Muse, Crumb Cake, More Mustard, Very Vanilla, Comfort Cafe DSP

Ink ~ Midnight Muse, More Mustard, Cajun Craze, Crumb Cake (sponged around the edges of the Very Vanilla)

Stamp Set ~ Artistic Etchings

Other Supplies ~ Midnight Muse Stitched Satin Ribbon, Scallop Trim Boarder Punch

I've never been to Paris, but I can only imagine how beautiful it is in the fall!  Maybe someday I'll have the chance to go.

Off to tend to my sick kiddo and the rest of the crew.  Thank goodness my hubby is home today to help!

Happy Stamping!
