Hello!
It's been 19 days since I was here. Not totally intentional. Too many other things taking up too much time. I did get a day of crafting with Bonnie two weeks ago. Unfortunately, I didn't unpack my craft bag until three days ago. I also finally found time on Monday to make a card. My goal was to squeeze into the Freshly Made Sketch but I didn't make it. Last month my youngest took a solo trip to the Catskills for a week to write. I'm thinking I need a solo crafting trip. What a week that would be! A girl can dream! hahahaha
I did at least get to play with some new products I bought from Honey Bee Stamps. I fell inlove with their newest release, Cottage Countryside, so I had to do some shopping. These ginger jar dies with coordinating stencils I just love. I color coordinated them to go with the pattern papered background.
I used Catherine Pooler inks and did ink to paper for the jars and the oval frame die behind them. The patterned paper was part of a freebie pack I got in my Honey Bee order. So very pretty! I put everything on an ivy cardbase to coordinate with the ivory/cream in the background paper. I love the finished card. I decided to add a "congratulations" sentiment to use as a wedding card for a wedding we are attending in a couple weeks.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you come back soon!

Nance, this is amazing! You've perfectly matched the blue in that paper - another color to add to my growing list of CP inks!
You do remember that your room is always ready here, right? x

It does seem like life gets busier all the time. I think I need to retire from retirement! Your ginger jars turned out beautifully and are a perfect match for this pretty paper! I love that elegant frame too! Let me know when you can get together again.
