Hello Crafters!
Today has been such a great day! First thing this morning was the start of the baseball season. (Ohhh...I just love baseball! I am a huge Chicago Cubs fan and I look forward to seeing my boys play again!) After the game was done, my friend Janice and I went shopping- which is always a good time. The weather was in our favor with beautiful sunshine, too. Now, I am listening to my Cubbies play Cincinatti in an exhibition game. Feeling spring in the air, I decided to take photos of my card outside.
The gorgeous sentiment is Quietfire's Thinking of You stamp. The background paper was an awesome find at a store in Crown Point, Indiana called Cafe Crop. They had loose sheets of Authentique 6x6 paper available! I have never seen that available in a craft store and I just had to have this sheet from the Free Bird Series.
Dies used: Spellbinders Stately Circles, Standard Circles and Stately Circles Grand. The metal flower with gem is from Recollections. Tim Holtz stain in Shabby Shutters was applied on the edge of the smaller Stately Circles die cut and on the pearls.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs,
Kathy Jo

Happy Sunday to you all!
Just a short blog entry to share another Christmas card. This card was too easy to make and I totally love the colors. The colors were decided by the IBSIC #67 color challenge: use white, green and baby blue.
The JustRite Lace Oval Frame background stamp was stamped and heat embossed in white. Tim Holtz distress markers in Shabby Shutters and Tumbled Glass were applied in the areas shown. Spellbinders Opulent Ovals die cut the lovely oval in the center. JustRite Christmas Vintage Labels One supplied the sentiment. The green ribbon (my favorite!) was wrapped around the card and then was used for the bow. Sad to say, this was the last of the ribbon on the spool. I used this ribbon a lot and I must go back to get another spool or two!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Don't forget to check in tomorrow to see the new challenge for Craftin Desert Divas!
Hugs,
Kathy Jo
