It's All About The Journey

Live Love Bloom

I thought that I would share another card that I designed using the newly released Kim Hughes Silhouette Blooms II. It is a very simple card and  very easy to make.

Stamps: Silhouette Blooms II from The Kim Hughes collection from Cornish Heritage Farms.


Card-stock: Sunflower Dark and Spring Willow Medium from Prism Papers. Water color paper. Designer Papers Mellow from BasicGrey.


Inks: Versafine Vintage Sepia . Marvy Markers.


Embellishments: Dark Brown Grosgrain ribbon from my local stamp store, Stamping Memories.


Technique: Watercolor.

I told you it was simple. :)

Not much happening in my life right now. I stayed indoors today because I was expecting a few important phone calls and a service man to come and clean our furnace. Normally I have that done in the early fall but because I forgot to call  until late fall they were booked until today. Anyway, I certainly feel lots safer knowing that it has been done and that all is well. Tomorrow will be a busy day for me. I have an appointment and afterward I will be doing my food shopping.  I shop at at least 3 different stores so it takes me time to get it all done. But I enjoy shopping  and despite the very cold air at this time of the year  I also love breathing it in. Most of all  I love that  I always manage to run into someone that I know.

I hope that all of you have a wonderful weekend.  Stay warm, stay safe and be happy. Oh and don't forget to Smile :)

I know that I have been making lots of cards using dark brown and cream as my color combo but I truly love the combination of the two. Are you getting bored of it yet?

It's time for another card that I made using one of the new releases that were released today. Or yesterday depending when you read this. :)

Stamps: Silhouette Blooms II from the Kim Hughes collection  and the Climbing Floral Backgrounder both from Cornish Heritage Farms.

Card-Stock: Butter Cream and Suede Dark Brown from Prism Papers.

Inks: Versafine Vintage Sepia.

Embellishments: Dark brown and cream brads from Making Memories. Cream and dark colored brown organdy ribbon purchased from Stamping Memories.

I made this card by using the stamping on and stamping off technique.

Another busy day for me today. Unfortunately I did not have time to stamp due to appointments. Tomorrow I have set the entire day aside to stamp and make a beef stew for Wayne. :) Okay maybe I will do one load of laundry too.  Ha-ha. Tomorrow is almost just for me.

I hope that all of you are taking some "me" time this week. I know it is hard to do when your working in or out of the home, have children or not, and have other things to do. But if you can slip a little time for yourself then go for it.  Now I am off to make out some bills and finish up my laundry for tonight. Smile. :)
