It is pouring rain in the North Georgia mountains. The PERFECT day to work on crafts. The best part if I am on a Scrapin' and Stampin' Retreat with my girlfriends! It is always so exciting to bounce ideas off such creative woman. I am truly amazed at their talents!
I have made a lot of Fall cards and decided to take a break and create a card for the Create With Connie and Mary challenge. I used one of my favorite stamp sets, "Regarding Dahlias." It is a stamp that always makes me smile. I love it!
Paper: Whisper White, Island Indigo, Quatrefancy Specialty
Ink: Island Indigo
Stamp Sets: Regarding Dahlias, Banner Greetings
Tools: Stampin' Trimmer, Snail Adhesive, Big Shot Cutting Machine, Argyle Embossing Folder,
Corner Rounder, Snips
Embellishments: Pearls, Glossy Accents
The joke of the day is how I always end up with a 6 x 6 work space on the table. I clean it up and regroup every 30 minutes and then it is back to this in a few minutes.
Some things NEVER change!
