Bonjour!

Good morning, my friends. How was your weekend? I was very productive - the cards were coming easily, I buzzed through the household chores, and I boxed up and sent off some pub submissions (ooh!).

I've been having fun playing around, letting ideas take me where they will.. I often come up with things when I'm laying in bed waiting for Bill to wake up. :)

Just for fun..

These stamps are from the Paris plate, the second plate of stamps that I bought from The Stampsmith (remember the Pears card from a few weeks back?).

This plate features classic landmarks of Paris as well as some vintage poster images and accompanying sentiments. Love - or should I say L'amour!

A fun color combination, too! The purple dotted cardstock was ruffled and stitched, and then I covered almost all of it up! Oh well :) Another hard-to-see detail is the stamped sheet music background.

This little cutie is happily sitting on my desk - I love to incorporate my cards into my room decor ;)

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you have a great day!
