What a lovely day it was here yesterday! I woke up to it snowing and it continued to snow for most of the first half of the day. Around 2:00pm it started to rain which was ok because it washed a way most of the snow. The only bad part was that it was about 26 degrees here last night so that turned most everything into a skating rink! Wait, it is going to be in the 60’s here over the weekend! Maybe we can will it to stay!! LOL! My day for the most part was good otherwise. My friend stopped by for a bit, I got my Christmas cards written out and I worked on a project. Now tomorrow to print the address labels and mail those cards!
Today I have my post for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge. This week we have a neat little sketch for you…
I wanted to show you some more goodies from the 2014 Occasions Catalog so that’s all I used! The base of my card is Gumball Green Card Stock and my background is a piece of the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper*. My flower and bee are from the Springtime Hello Stamp Set*, the bee is stamped in Basic Black and the flower is markered with Gumball Green and Daffodil Delight. I used the Ovals Collection Framelits Dies to cut out my stamped image and a lager one to put behind it. Some of the Gold Sequin Trim is adhere to the backing along the edge and the stamped piece is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. My greeting is from the Happy Watercolor Stamp Set* and is stamped in Gumball Green and punched out with the Decorative Label Punch. Some Stampin’ Dimensionals adhere it to the card and some loose sequins finish it off. I LOVE the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper* and the we all know how I feel about sequins! Thank you for checking out my Design Team card for this week’s Paper Craft Crew sketch challenge. Check out the other projects on the blog and let’s see what you come up! Have a wonderful Wednesday! 🙂
