Happy Saturday peeps! I had a nice day yesterday. Danielle and I had an errand to run for work and were out for about three hours. We also had to stop at Panera to get some gift cards so we had lunch there. I had the Autumn Squash soup and it was delicious! I also had a nice road trip last night to New Jersey. Michael had a class to teach at Paper Anthology and had taken the train so I offered to go out and get him. The traffic was pretty heavy on the way there but it wasn’t a bad ride. The store was really neat, it was in an old house and had a great selection of all different kinds of goodies. If you ever find yourself in Kenvil New Jersey definitely stop by. You can check out their web site HERE and visit Michael’s blog HERE. This morning I’m off to Connecticut with Michael and Sue for a little visit to two stamp stores. And yes, I’m typing this on the car! LOL!
My card that I have for you today is for this week’s Pals Paper Arts color challenge…
Very fall appropriate colors, so I went with Christmas! LOL! The card base is Cajun Craze and the background is a piece of Very Vanilla that I embossed with the Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Yes, I can’t get enough of woodgrain anything! I used the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch and the Project Life Corner Rounder to create my tag from a piece of Soft Suede. A piece of Color Me Autumn Designer Washi Tape is wrapped around the bottom of the tag and a piece of Mossy Meadow, Striped Satin Ribbon tied with some Linen Thread goes through the top. My tree is from the Festival of Tress Photopolymer Stamp Set and is stamped in Mossy Meadow on Very Vanilla and punched out with the Tree Punch. The greeting is from the Project Life December Wonder Photopolymer Stamp Set and is also stamped in Mossy Meadow and punched out with the 1″ Circle Punch. My tree and the greeting are adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals and so is the tag to the card. A nice clean somewhat traditional Holiday card that would be pretty easy to duplicate. I hope that you enjoyed my card for this week’s Pals Paper Arts color challenge. Thanks for coming along on my road trip this morning too and have a wonderful Saturday! 🙂
