This card combines alot of my favorites right now, lined paper, October Afternoon stamps and paper- ah...what could better.

This is one of my Favorite photos- Its so nice that my 15 year old is so sweet to my 2 year old- its times like these that make you thankful for all you have. The Unity stamp is the perfect sentiment and the little camper matches PERFECT with the paper.

Simple card for Saturday

Here's a quickie -with a theme.

I threw this together a while back. I had lost my mojo and kinda just stood in my craft room. I spied this page of Bazzill Chip Toppers that I have never used...and a papertrey set that has never seen ink either....GASP! The theme is use what you have never used before . This card came together quickly- I thought I would just use a sentiment-kind of an all occasion type card.

cardstock is bazzill, stamp is papertrey-Wise Owl, Ink Palette, cuttlebug swiss dots folder
