How's life? Good here, but the creeping crud that seemed to have been getting around to everyone finally caught up to me. I had some quiet time this weekend to put a little something together for this week's Play Date Cafe Challenge. It was a tandem challenge, with an extra twist from the CASE Study Challenge Blog - what fun!
I created a patchwork background a la sweetie Geny Cassidy then die-cut it using Nesties Labels 8. I love this 'great big hugs' sentiment, from the WMS Frame It set, and combined it with Very Vintage Labels No. 10. This ended up being the perfect birthday card for my sister-in-law! Cute!Thanks for visiting today.. in case you haven't heard, the previews for the new Waltzingmouse Stamps release start on Saturday. I am so excited for them to begin, I have just loved creating with the new sets and can't wait to start sharing with you!
