Thrilled For You!

Today I am sharing a card I made for my husband's aunt and family.  They relocated to Long Island from Virginia and bought a new home.  While looking through my stamp stash, I came across this fun house stamp by recollections.  I heat embossed it in black and used some fun heart paper from my Simon Says Stamp card kit.

Supplies:

Stamps: Recollections, Paper Smooches

Paper: Simon Says Stamp Card Kit

Ink: Distress Ink (Faded Jeans, Worn Lipstick), Versafine Black

Misc.: Clear Embossing Powder, Heart Gems

Instead of the usual "Congratulations" sentiment, I went with this one by Paper Smooches, as we really are thrilled for them.

This Sunday we were able to visit them in their new home and I learned how to play bocce ball!  I seemed to get better as we went along, but still came in last!  I married into a bocce-loving family, it seems.  

Hope you have a fabulous weekend ahead!  My husband and I will be working in our basement as we are clearing it out after our flash flood last week.  We got it all dry, etc, but so many things to sort through and continue to toss away things we don't need.  One fun thing we will be doing is attending a barbecue with some dear friends.  

Until next time!

Home Is Where the Heart is

Hi, guys! A friend of mine has moved into a new home.  This called for a card to be made! I used one of the whimsical houses from Claudine Hellmuth.  Yes, I used more of my Scrabble tiles on this one as well.  I normally don't do round cards, but thought it would be a fun change.

Supplies:

Stamps Claudine Hellmuth

Paper: Studio G Notecard, Gina K Designs (White), Kaiser Kraft

Inks: Memento Black, Distress Ink, Distress Markers

Misc.: Mini Scrabble Tiles

Wishing Lynne all the best in her new home! 

Until next time!
