The first is this week's Card-a-licious-25 Challenge to use flowers, ribbon, and a journaling tag. I based my card on a card I found on Lisette Gibbons blog.
While I was away I received some new Papertrey Ink stamps which I was eager to play with. The first one is a lift of Nicole Heady's card when she introduced the stamp set.
And the last is using the new made-for-buttons stamp set: Everyday Button Bits. I loved the messages included with this set, but I know I'll enjoy playing with the images as well. I found the October Afternoon paper pad at a great scrapbook store in California and knew the paper would be great with cherry stamp.
It was good to get back to some crafting after a long time away from it. There's so much I'm looking forward to making.
