thank you

I am up on the PoppyStamps blog today sharing this quick Thank You card that I put together to send out after the holidays.

I love when a card idea comes together just like you imagined it would.

I used two cling stamps 'thank you so much' and 'woodland berries'. Both which were from the holiday release.

I colored with copic markers and added some glossy accents.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

believe - ADFD New Release

Friday and that means time for a new release over at A Day for Daisies and this weeks release is all about Vintage Time!

I am working with the new image Fancy Shoe Fairy and this image along with all of the new releases for this week can be found over on the ADFD blog.

I used papers from the BasicGrey 'persimmon' collection along with some alpha stickers, enamel dots and sequins from my stash.

So do you notice any difference in my photo today? My birthday was yesterday and my son bought me the light tent I have been wanting. I definitely think it helps with the brightness of the photo and will come in handy during our long Minnesota winters.

We got our first measurable snowfall Tuesday evening. The weatherman was predicting 4 to 5 inches and we got about 2 inches. So happy that he was wrong on the amount. I am not ready for this.

 Make sure you check out what the rest of the design team did with this weeks images and don't forget you still have one week to enter our challenge. You can get details here.
