Good Monday morning! I hope y’all had a fabulous weekend. I spent yesterday recuperating from Saturday’s big party. I knew I shouldn’t have eaten all that junk but oh my golly . . . the beer was so icy cold and the food smelled so good!

After lolling around in the recliner most of the day working on some blog stuff and there was a race I had to run . . . I ended up in the studio working on a card. Now seriously, this card took me all of 30 minutes to make even with the sewing.

Did I tell you how much I LOVE the new Webster’s Pages I got from Sharon at the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store? Oh my goodness . . . did you see me drool? This time I used the combo pack Lullaby Lane and Life’s Portrait. The design on the bottom of the paper is so gorgeous I couldn’t for the life of me cover it!

The stamp set is another Wordsworth Remembering, Life Affirming. I stamped the flowers in the background using Old Paper and then the sentiment was stamped in black.

Good Saturday morning! Did I tell you that my daughter, Kate, got married back in March? Oh I did! Here’s their picture on this post. I said then that we would eventually give them a reception. Well, today is the day! All the family and friends have been invited to Kate and Will’s new home for an Open House, a barbecue and plenty of libations! They are very excited to have everyone visit so they can show off the new digs . . . . they’ve been doing so much work on it and it’s an adorable little house. I’m so excited to be seeing out-of-town family especially since it’s for a joyous occasion instead of something sad. I’m sure I’ll have plenty of pictures by the end of the day!

I received some new stamps in the mail before I left for Orlando and then this week I received some new Webster’s Pages. Oh wow! I decided to take some time last night and whip out a card using all my new stuff. It was nice to take a break from all the CHA projects that are spread out all over the house. I could barely find the new papers . . . actually, everything is such a mess (so unlike me) that I really can’t find anything. I’m just about at my wits end with it all and will have to clean and put away before I start the next round of projects.

Okay, so here’s my card. I’ve had this in mind since I saw the set (Wordsworth Remembering – Poetry of the Earth).

I stamped the trees lightly with Crushed Olive and then stamped the sentiment over the top in Coffee. The paper is sewn to a background piece of cardstock. The only thing inked is the sentiment. I sanded the edges of the background papers.

Stamps: Clearly Wordsworth Remember – Poetry of the Earth from Stamp Simply Ribbon Store
Paper: Webster’s Pages Petite Papers, Triple Pack Collection – Seaside Retreat, Garden Gala and Nature’s Storybook from Stamp Simply Ribbon Store
