Just A Note

Hooray!  I just got my first Paper Smooches stamps in the mail (don't you just love finding a box of crafty goodies on your doorstep?)  I was super excited to break these out today along with some new washi tape and other little fun things I got.  This card came together with very few "ingredients".  I love that! 

 When I started out I was planning to use a different stamp, but I found this one in my new Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler set.  I think the "Just a Note" goes perfectly with this music note washi tape. The theme this week over at CAS-ual Fridays is "So torn" so I knew I needed at least one ripped element on my card, and I thought this tape would be perfect with a few things "bursting" out from behind the stripes. I made the heart with just some red card stock and topped it with glossy accents.  That's such a quick way to add a special pop to something small like that, I can't get enough of that stuff lately.


I'm super excited that I can finally join in the fun over at the Paper Smooches Sparks Challenge blog.  You can find their cute stamp sets here.  Here's the Trend Watch: Typography inspiration photo for this week.  


CAS-ual Fridays also has started making stamps and they are super cute (of course)! I definitely have a few of those on my wish list.  Check 'em out here:


It's the time of year when it really feels good to express gratitude and take time to appreciate all our blessings big and small.  So I'd like to give a shout-out to my friend Bree at Craft-somnia Momma.  She's an amazing Stampin' Up! demonstrator and she treated a bunch of our crafty friends to yet another great night of cards and stamping projects.  Thanks for inviting us into your home every month and sharing all your ideas and supplies with us (no matter how nutty we can be!).  I think you rock!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
