And back to reality! I did have one of the best weekends in recent memory! We all had so much fun at Jim’s country house on the lake! The traffic was a little horrendous on the way home but that’s New York! We did stop for a little lunch and I got back to my house around 4:30. I decompressed for a bit and then Taylor came by and we ran a few errands and got Wendy’s for dinner. I also made my card for today! This morning I’m off to Manhattan to see my friend Isabella! It’s been way too long! 😀
That card that I made is for this week’s Paper Players challenge…
My card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. I used the Hero Arts Delicate Petals Stencil with my Stencil Brush and some Lime Green Ink to add a little color to the background. Down the left side is a strip of Night of Navy. The Hero Arts Infinity Circles Dies are used to cut out a piece of Lime and I adhered it to the card with Fun Foam and E-Z Runner Ultra Strong. My butterflies are from the Hero Arts Color Layering Butterflies Photopolymer Stamp Set, I stamped them in Tide Pool and Navy using my Mini MISTI and then cut them out with the Coordinating Frame Cuts. The greeting is from the Hero Arts Many Everyday Messages Photopolymer Stamp Set. It’s heat embossed in Hero Arts White Embossing Powder onto another strip of Night of Navy. All of the butterflies and greeting are adhered to the card with 3M Foam Tape. I really am enjoying my stencils and brush, such an easy way to add some color to a card! I hope that you like my card for this week’s Paper Players challenge! Thanks for starting your week off here with me! Have a magnificent Monday! 🙂

Thanks so much Grace! I was into blues and greens for a bit! LOL! The weekend was fantastic and the city is always a good time! I wish you going too! Love and hugs to you! XOXO 🙂
I’ve been following you for awhile. I love all your adventures and all your card inspiration; thank you for sharing. But I guess I missed something because I haven’t seen you talk about the store.
Thanks Taasha! I’m so happy to have you along on my little journey! I unfortunately had to close the store. Not enough people on Long Island to buy stuff. 🙂
Gorgeous! Enjoy your adsventure today. You tire me out, LOL
LOL! Thanks Linda! I like to have stuff to do! I can get lazy really fast! 🙂
